The course is getting better, I think the greens are in good shape but some of the fairways are pretty bare. They are working on it and have improved quite a bit in the last year. I enjoy the course its a true links style course and very strategic, you must be aware of the burns. I played this when it was first opened and it was beautiful I hope it gets back to that some day because I enjoy playing it and for the price its well worth it compared to other courses in the area.

I have played this course every June for the last 5 years on a buddy trip to Mesquite. Course has always been in good shape when we played, greens are tough as are most Nicklaus greens. The only problem we had this year was the bunkers are in poor shape, liners sticking out of the sand in most of them. Worst I have ever seen them. They need to address that. Club house is still a trailer and there is still nothing out in the area except the course. Worth the trip from Vegas in my opinion. I will play there again next June.

I have to say I was reluctant to play this course again, I always thought the layout was great but the conditions had gotten horrible to the point where there was no grass in the fairways at all But a friend and I took chance and played on Sunday and we were pleasantly surprised buy the conditions. Most of the fairways were in good shape and all the greens were nice. There is still room for improvement mind you but you can see they are working on those areas. The course is fun to play, the lay out is great and I am so glad to see the conditions improving. I will play again soon.

Older course decent shape considering fall maintenance

The greens had been punched but weren't horrible $45 was a good value for the conditions. The entire course is Kikuya grass so if you don't fly the ball on the green it will not release onto the greens hit several shots just short and they stop right where they land.
Its a really old layout with out any improvements other than the new holes 13 to 15 that were added a number of years ago. The rest of the course could use some updates they have been the same for over 30 years.
Beverage cart broke down so it was parked around the 3rd and 8th tee area, there is a snack bar by the driving range/10th tee but other than that on the back side there wasn't anything.

The bar/restaurant is great and the food is pretty good.

Oak Quarry Pace of Play

I love this course its my favorite in Southern California but the pace of play is getting out of hand. My last two rounds have been over 5 hours, with the last one going 5:40. Its a great layout but if they can't get pace of play under control I won't be playing there on the week end again. They blamed it all on a mens club event but that's no excuse, a regular mens club should know how to play at decent pace.

I play this course every June on a buddy trip, it is always the highlight of the trip. But went back to play again in October, more expensive than June but still worth the price. We play Conestoga, Coyote Springs and Sand Hollow on the trip in june as well. Wolf is my all time favorite course, elevation changes, its just beautiful. Every tee box is worth taking a picture and the course is in great shape in June. Can get a little hot in June but its very affordable that time of year. I would recommend this course to everyone.

First time I played this course, it was a discounted fee because the course was just recently punched. Although the greens were punched the ball still rolled pretty well, greens were slow because they had not been cut but not bad shape over all. I really liked the course fairways in great shape and a good lay out over all. I liked it so much I booked another tee time for the week end.

Played the back nine it was reasonable at $40.00 but they should include breakfast in this like some other clubs. Course was in good shape greens where pretty true and quick which was a surprise since they were still pretty damp. They would have been really fast later in the day. Course has lot of elevation changes and some really pretty holes. Tight driving course and doesn't play very long from the blues but it's still a challenge. Really enjoyed it just wish the 18 hole rate wasn't so high.

The course is in great shape, fairways were plush and the greens were in good shape. I got a deal on lastminutegolfer.com for $49 which is the only reason I played this course. I still think the normal green fees are way to high for this place there are other courses in the area in good shape that are much more affordable.

Lives up to its reputation

Vellano lived up to its reputation. Its a pretty tough track it would help if you had your A game that day but it was not unfair in my opinion. My common miss is left and left is not good on a lot of holes so I suffered a bit. The greens were in pretty good shape but a couple of them were pretty hammered. The wind is an issue we were playing into some pretty gusty winds in the afternoon. Overall its a nice course with some elevation changes, I would play it again.

Costa Del Sol

The course is okay, its an executive layout the fairways are in decent shape and the greens where pretty good. Its a decent cheap round of golf. Typical of any American Golf Public course they don't spend a lot of money to maintain the public courses and its pretty obvious. They do not have any place to warm up other than a putting green which is always a negative, a few nets would be better than nothing. I would certainly not pay more than $30 to play this course with cart.

This course is in great shape for a 9 hole course. I hit PW and Gap Wedge to every hole except for one that required a 7 iron most of the holes are forced carries from the Tee over desert. Great game for short game practice, green in good shape and pace of play was not bad at all for a 9 hole par three course. Practice facilities were very good as well and the Prop shop, bar and food were good as well as the service. I would play this again when in Vegas. We played at 8:00 PM so it was a little cooler than the normal daily temp in June.

The course is in okay condition, fairways need some work and the greens appeared to have been punched and had not fully recovered in some areas yet but not bad overall. Tight is a real understatement here trees come into play on every hole for the most part. Could be really nice with some updating, and tree trimming would be a plus. They call it a resort course but that is a stretch to say the least but well worth the money I paid to play it which was pretty low. Only real issue for me was allowing groups of five's to play. I was behind one of them and it played pretty slow as a result.

The course is tough, I don't think anyone under a 10 handicap should even consider playing it. Greens were beautiful but difficult. the biggest problem I had with the place was the staff not a friendly group at all. I won't play it again just because of the staff.

The course is beautiful and certainly some interesting and challenging holes. My only disappointment where the greens they were really slow putting. Seems like they had not cut them recently. Outside of the slow greens I would play it again.

This is a beautiful course.

Glen Ivy is a great track. It is one of those places where you need course knowledge to put your ball in the right places off the tee. I look forward to playing it again now that I have learned a few hard lessons.. The 18th is a great finishing hole. Love the course great shape will play it again soon.
