Nice course to play

Nice course layout with little danger of getting hit from parallel fairway. Other than the fairway grass being a little sparse, the course is in pretty good condition. They have three separate nine hole courses with provides variety. Overall, it's a nice course to include among your selection.

Poor fairways

Greens were aerated last week. Fairways were not in good shape with very many goffer mounds on every one. Layout was good though with plenty of room to drive the ball.

Overbooked

The last two times showing up for my tee time they have over booked their course. They had no carts due to tournaments being played. I wasn’t able to even get on the course for an hour after my tee time. Having a 3:15 tee time is already tough to get a full 18 hole in let alone starting at 4:15. I really like this course but they shouldn’t be selling tee times to the app unless they can manage the amount of people.

Merced player

Playing this round just after high winds the night before so with all the trees on their course the leaves and debris from all sorts made fairways and greens very badly maintained and its houses lined every hole that makes all holes narrow and pace was terrible.

Will Definitely Return

It was an overall enjoyable round of golf. They have 27-holes at this facility. It was my first time playing this course and I gave it an overall 4-star score. I played the Canyon-Lakes nines, which the person behind the counter said were the two best nines. For a Saturday 11:30 tee time, pace of play was on point...4hrs, 5mins. Fairways were meh and greens were good. These two nines could play quite difficult if you're not hitting it straight. There are some narrow openings. My favorite hole was the second on the Canyon...a par 5 that is tight as a frogs butt. I had a southwest burger and fries at the turn and it was OUTSTANDING. Seriously, one of the best tasting burgers I've had in a long time. I'll be back!

Tee box

Teeing off on uneven surfaces is the trademark for this course. I understand the owner, Mr Rossi likes to use this course as on of his write offs for his business

Great course layout

But a great layout is swiftly followed by bad bounces and worse lies greens were slow and bumpy but I am spoiled when it comes to putting surfaces overall the course is for sure recommended because you get a great round for a decent price which is harder to find on the Central Coast
