Course was in awesome shape. I will add this to my list of courses i play ever christmas trip out here. Tip it out and bring your A game. It is a very fair course, but there are a couple monsters out here, 10/11 are two great holes.

So I decided to take the long ride out to this course as i have read the reviews and heard from other people that this course is a hidden gem. This is also one of the sites holding a us open regional and as I am getting ready for that I figured some time on this course would be a good idea as I had never played it before. Got to the course and it looked like a interesting layout. Headed to the range and warmed up- range was ok nothing exciting but did the job. Hit a few putts on the practice green and realized that I should of stayed at my home course instead of driving all the way up here. It was bumpy slow and extremely shaggy. I was kind of hoping that there practice green was just in rough shape as my home course is really bad too. Got to the first tee box and it was slow. REALLY but I took it as a chance to learn the good/dead areas of were to hit the tee shot and so forth. Tee boxes were average for what I have played, they were flat too. Got to the fairway and it was dried out dormant still, lots of divots not sanded. Then hit my approach shot into the green. This is were I almost just walked off the course. The greens are worse then the putting green. They are so bad I didn't hit a single putt. I used wedge to putt with. They were shaggy bumpy slow and had limited greens in areas. I was in shock that everybody said this course was in amazing shape. Needless to say the group infront of me let me play through them on 2. I caught a 4 some playing lesson with the pro that wouldn't let me get thru them so at the 6th hole thor guard went off and I got to leave with a 9 hole refund. Anybody want it? You guys have a lot of work to do for your qualifier in less then a month.

I agree with the above. The course is not that difficult if you can hit it moderately straight. The key to the course is the greens. They are PERFECT right now and will be for the next 5 months. They are rolling 11 everyday. I will say they are faster but 11 so nobody gets to scared. If you are in the area don't pass this course up. Only issue you might find is the pace can be slow. I know they are working on that.

They were just coming out of overseeding, along with California trying to wash away with all the rain so it was WET. I can say I love the layout, not to hard for me but the average golfer will find it tough as the fairways are tight, the green complexes are vast. They have a lot of different pin locations so you must be in the correct area on the green or it will get interesting. The greens were very wet and stupid slow tho. For 55 dollars it was a great price. I will be back out there again as long as it is not soaked again.
