It was good overall

First time here but was mostly pleased with the experience. The practice putting area was rather small and greens could use some maintenance. Layouts had a good mix of challenges but was somewhat disappointed that the greens were aerated recently and cause a lot of irregularities on the ball speed and direction. It would have been nice to have been warned ahead of time and why do you aerate on such a time that it affects play on a busy and important holiday week.

Had a great time !

Course was rather wet and a bit muddy in some areas due to some rain the night before. The course was practically empty so pace was great and took my time. The wet condition made a bit more challenging ( car path only ) play but this place was just as good as the last time I played here a month ago.

Love and Hate

Love the condition of the course but the green was so difficult as it is it did not help that the placement of the hole on almost all was at the toughest part of the green. 3 to 4 putt was the norm,really?

Great Deal

Love playing here specially with the lunch special included if booked to play before 12 PM. I do not know how they could give such a deal but thank you !!!!! The course was good as usual but still wishing to this very day that they do not have enough porta potty along the course. Too few and far in between. Other than that you have a winner here for a golf
course.

GREAT LAYOUT

It was more difficult being that it was 103 degrees but inspite of the heat my partner and I enjoyed this place a lot and could see ourselves coming back here a lot in the future. Greens are fast and tricky, must take the time to read it right or even a 3 footer could easily be a miss. Layout was very well put together that it made it fun and will appeal to even the first timer to this course.

SO MANY SIGNATURE HOLES

Please if you are the average golfer like myself bring lots of practice balls cause you will be loosing a lot and if you do a mulligan ( oh you will be doing a lot of those, too ) please do not attempt to retrieve lost balls and upset people behind you.This course is going to test your patience and skill alright. Your irons better be fairly accurate to stand a chance. It is more important that you keep it in the middle than risk going long because it is not as long as it seems but it is pretty narrow for sure.

Good local place to play

Got this cheap at Gilfnow so I can not complain in terms of value for the money. The course was a good challenge playing from the "blue". The course conditions how ever was so so . Given that there is a water shortage explains why a lot of dead and very dry grass areas was all over. Greens was decent and over all course was not bad at all.

Really Nice

Glad we played the blue which made it more challenging and fun. The greens was not bad and easy to read. The fairways and rough are well in control. This place is overall fun to play if you do not try too had to push for distance. The second shots are more important than the the first from the tee box.

Amazing !

I live 4 miles away yet never played here before thinking it was nothing special about this place. Los Lagos I am so sorry for thinking that for years. This place was amazing, The course was very well maintained, the greens was just right and the layout was a good mix of challenges.Although, somewhat short on some par 3's but if you play black it is plenty. My partner and I was just impressed and thanks to Golfnow this was a bargain.

Nice place and friendly folks

The course was long and fun if you play black. Thanks to Golfnow $25 with a cart, tee time was 10 AM, how could you go wrong. The greens was challenging but fair and the the condition of the rest of the course was decent. I just wish it was not too slow and no marshall to speed up the slow folks. When it takes almost 5 hours to complete a game it matters not how great a golf course is.

Surprisingly decent place to play

After reading the bad reviews before playing there I was afraid I will be disappointed but I could not resist the $26 with a cart offer from Golfnow. Boy, was I surprise cause the place was decent considering the place is under renovation. I honestly had a good time and so did my partner.

Love everything about this place except the..........GREENS ! It was too slow, unfairly unpredictable and could use some cropping to make it fair play.

Needs attention on your fairways

For the price ( $22 ) I really could not complain but those fairways are starting to look like gravel . Thanks for at least keeping the greens descent.

The course was a mess !

I have played here a several times and have always enjoyed the course. This time was a disappointment as there is no excuse to allow play when the place was littered with tree branches, trimmings and other debris. It is also a hazard and such that it should cause alarm to the management.
