I hadn't played here in a long time, but the course was better than I remembered as a course. Challenging enough without being penalizing. I will take some blame for not looking or researching in advance as this is the time of year for aeration, but the greens were covered in sand/top dressing. it was extensive. It made the putts slow and inconsistent but it wasn't as bad as it would have appeared. So my comments are mostly that the course is worth playing at a decent price especially for Orange County.

The good:
1. Pace of play on first 7 holes happened to be great, but then it was slow.
2. Generally In better condition than some other recent reviews had mentioned. Tee boxes just OK; Fairways pretty good; Bunkers pretty good; Greens full but needed to be rolled and cut.

Not as good:
I haven't played in a few years, there are a few blind shots and the GPS is way old and just yards (with some yards to bunkers and such.
THere are a couple holes on the back nine especially which are a little funky - the stretch between 13-15 is not the best
Pace of play got slow < 2hours on front and about 3 hours on back nines. Tough course and some bad golfers.
Overall I enjoyed it. If the greens had been faster and firmer it would have been 5 stars despite the slow play.

Desert over-seeding caused a slow round on a busy but beautiful day. Beautiful resort type course. Challenging enough without being penalizing. Beautiful mountain and desert views. Greens were pretty good and relatively fast. I look forward to playing the course when it is not CPO

This isn't the absolute best course in the world, but it is solid. I love to play fast and we got lucky on a Friday at 12:40 PM. Pace of play was about 3 hours which is fantastic. My friend and I played the tips (listed at 6355) and it was manageable even though I am not a very long hitter. Very hilly course, a couple holes are tricky with the doglegs and contours (especially #13) - but if you play here a couple times it would be easier. Course was in very good shape, greens were good and rolled well. Bunkers had nice sand, but needed a little clean up. The staff was great, the 19th hole was nice enough. Probably normally a 4* course, but the nice weather and pace of play made my experience 5*****. So thank you Beaver Brook.

Cross Creek is an excellent course. Off the beaten path on the West Side of Temecula in a beautiful valley. Got out little early and hooked up with another 2some. Absolutely perfect weather for early September (low 80s). Course could use a bit of maintenance. Rough was very severe, greens were slow, but it I have played it before and I will count this as an anomaly.

I have been playing Eagle Glen since it opened roughly 25 years ago. It is still a very good course. Yesterday's round was pretty smooth - a little slow for my liking 4:30 but we teed off late morning so to be expected. Greens were a bit slow, but if the greens could be rolled and mowed a little lower they could easily be what they once were. But it is August and it gets hot in Corona, so I understand the greens can't be fast. Rest of course conditions (Tee boxes, fairways, Sand Traps, rough) -- all very good, but not immaculate. Beverage cart was around frequently, restaurant is good, starter was very chatty. Overall - very good. Happy to play again.

Great facilities, great customer service. The course itself is very good, but I wouldn't say great. The fairways are closely bordered by rock hard desert and balls carom off the desert (sometimes for the good but mostly for the bad) into trouble often. So you have to be precise. Another small nit pick would be the shape of the greens. Most are not mostly round which makes it harder to hit the greens. But overall the course is very good, since it is a little out of the way, i don't think it gets as much play and the price is a bit more reasonable. I played the course 2x this week. The first time the greens were nice and relatively fast, the second time they were a little slower. Teed off at 2:51 as a 2 some and finished in 3 hours which was great.

First of all - all the people who worked there were great. The course is easily walkable, but we took a cart (No GPS on cart but otherwise OK). A couple holes were a little cramped but the only hole that I thought was a little unfair was #10. Had a great time on a nice day with a couple very nice young guys. Conditions were pretty good. The greens were moderate speed and just a bit inconsistent (some faster some slower). Overall a solid place without being too fancy. I would play again

Loved everything about this place. Despite a foggy morning, the course was great from start to finish. We played early and the pace of play was great. Layout, conditions, greens were all great. Fair test of golf but not easy. Nice people working there, great lunch. I look forward to coming back.

The course was still recovering from a rainy winter - I would love to try it when the weather is better. Fairways were a bit muddy so not much roll which made it tough. Played the blue/white combo but it played long. Can't even imagine anyone playing the tournament tees at 7558 yards, EXTREME elevation changes on the course made for beautiful views. With cart path only it made for a lot of walking. Greens were in excellent shape. Had an excellent lunch in the restaurant. Staff was great. Only thing that would be a deficit is the lack of any real restrooms on course - women wouldn't be happy. But overall greatly enjoyed the experience.

I have played Maderas a couple times before with fond memories. I stretched myself a little by playing the blues as I am not a very big hitter. I found that there were a number of very tough/ kind of unfair shots. I didn't play 18 (it was dark) but the three other par 5s all had flaws (to me). Number 3 requires a really short layup to about 140 yards or a very risky long and accurate 2nd shot over the creek. #8 is extreme target off the tee and then the green is extremely exposed and hard to hit (and miss left by 10 feet and you are out of play. # 14 is 530 straight up hill. Plays about 600. The green is perched and very hard to hit (even in 3). 3 of us were left and tried to chip to a back right pin and the balls all rolled off the front into the hazard. A couple other holes that are too target or where you get into trouble too easily (5 & 16), Staff and amenities are great. Layout a challenge - play to tees a bit shorter than you can possibly reach.

Hadn't played Tierra Rejada in a few years. I enjoyed it, maybe because I was playing pretty well. It is a hard course where you can lose a lot of balls. Front nine very hilly and a couple very difficult holes and pin placements. Back nine is mostly flatter except for # 10 which is severely uphill. We didn't tee off until almost 2:00 PM on a windy day and flew around the front nine which was great. Then we caught the crowds and the course was slow. The Conditions were overall very good considering the rain and the greens were great. Quick and tricky. I had a good time and will return.

First time playing. This is a relatively short tree-lined course. Greens were very good. Accuracy off the tee is very important. Not an easy course for a beginner, not too difficult for an experienced golfer, but there are about 4 holes where the tee shots required a combination of knowledge and extreme precision (#9, 16 & 17 in particular). Greens rolled great. Overall it was a fun experience.

Great experience this time. Technically my 2some was 3rd group of day but we only had 2 players and the 4 some in front of us graciously let us tee of ahead of them. THANK YOU #1. By the 4th hole there was another 2some who let me and my buddy through (we play fast) - THANK YOU #2!. The final 2some in front of us moved along just fine - so we had a 3:10 minute round which is far better than the 5 hour my last time here. In the morning, there were some wet / watered areas but overall conditions were very good. Greens were very smooth - medium speed. Rest of the course was good. A bunch of maintenance people out on the course. Great weather, Great pace of play made it a great Day. Thank you.

Played at 8:50 AM on a nice day. Payed more ($84) than I am used to for this course, but there was nothing else available on late notice (and it is hard to get tee times these days). The marshall popped around a couple times, but the course was just backed up and slow. The group in front of us was bad, but they were waiting on the groups in front of them too (also bad) - not that I am great, but I move. The course is good, short on paper, but a lot of short holes are uphill which neutralizes the distance on the card. Course in decent shape, tees were a little hairy, greens were good, fairways good. I will play again, but I don't like 4:52 minute rounds.

Great course about an hour north of Las Vegas. Was supposed to be part of a planned community which never developed. Nicklaus course, great design and variety. Not an easy course (even from the white tees). A bit of a strange configuration - the 1st and 10th tees are far from the clubhouse. It would be impossible to walk. Great range, nice people working. Modest proshop and there is a bar and grill (my sandwich was good). Many visits from the beverage carts.

Played at 2 PM on a holiday weekend. It was slow slow slow... Waited on every shot all day. It is a tough course and many people play tees behind where they probably should play. put that together and it was slow. Greens were pretty good, fairways and rough were hit and miss. Some were really wet, other spots were dry. Wiry grass. I will play Babe again, but not on a busy afternoon.

Meadowlark is pretty short and not too expensive relative to other courses so you do get some less experienced golfers, we experienced a group in front of us that was a hole and a half behind BY THE SECOND HOLE!. Many mulligans and whiffs and dribbles. Overall pace of play was not outrageously slow (4:20) but later in the day, I saw 3 groups waiting to tee off on # 3 - so it does back up. There was an ambassador driving around but not really hurrying people up.
The course has tricky greens and the hilly track has some challenge to it. The conditions were OK. Greens looked hairy, but rolled OK if a little slow.
I will play again, you just have to pack your patience.
The restaurant and bar are nice and casual. Staff is nice.

I went out as a single at 11 AM in April. Hooked up with 2 nice gentlemen. Pace of play was OK considering mid-day. We waited a lot but it was about a 4:15 round. Acceptable. Course conditions were OK. Greens a little slower than I would like but relatively smooth. Tees, Fairways and Bunker were good. The tees you play will make a big difference in the challenge of the course as there are relatively narrow landing areas. Layout pretty straightforward. A decent course. There are better (and more expensive) courses in the Coachella Valley but this was the right price for what it offered

Fairways fast and greens slow - that is backwards. It is a challenging enough course, but just not in great playing conditions. Price is right though. Staff very nice.
