The greens on the mountain 9 are not ready for play yet. The layout is fantastic on this 9 but still under construction

Great Day!

Play is always well paced, staff is very friendly, and I find the track challenging but fair. I always enjoy a round at Sand Canyon.

A classic challenge

I am so happy Mr. Lee rescued this classic, iconic course. I would love to see the greens get crazy fast again, but the improvements to the course have been user-friendly, it was a joy to play!

Greens are in good shape, rolled pretty well.
Some tee box & Fairways need to be improved but all in all, great condition. Will not disappoint it.

Fun Time

Played Sand Canyon Valley course front 9 and Mountain course front 9. Weather coming in from Palmdale looked like it would be windy and overcast. At the course the weather and temperature was excellent until we started front 9 on Mountain course.

The Valley course was in excellent shape and had several interesting holes while the Mountain course is undergoing renovation on a number of holes We had a great time at Sand Canyon and will return again to play when I am in the area.

Slow Work and very little progress

Course needs some serious time off from play. The greens are in pretty good shape, but the rest of the course is in poor shape. The bunkers are in serious neglect and should be marked as grounds under repair. Maybe in a year or two, this course with some TLC will be back to its old luster.

Getting back to Old Glory days...

With lots of water, the valley course is getting better weekly. I play Sand Canyon a couple of times a month and every time I play it keeps getting better. It's be nice to have some amenities on course, food and beverage cart would really be nice. Pace of play could be better.

Some Changes to the Course, Nice to Have it back Open

This is the first time I have played since the course reopened. I had probably played the Robinson Ranch courses 50 or more times previously. I didn't know what to expect. A few comments - NICE to have the course back open. There are some changes - especially on the old Valley Back nine (now called Desert) - so many trees are no longer there. Just looks different. It also looks and probably is easier without so many trees. The owner is spending some money on the course - you can see it with some of the landscaping and some of the water areas (new stonework around some ponds). Some bunkers have been removed. Some waste areas expanded. Overall a little more playable. The day I played the greens were in pretty good shape but pretty slow. The pace of play late afternoon on a Sunday was good.

I look forward to visiting again when the course is a little more "developed" but overall I was happy.

A good course almost restored

This is a fine course working to restore itself to pre-fire condition. The setting, basic course design, and the greens are first rate. The fairways are not fully reestablished after the fire and years of drought, but they are close. The redesign elements are just OK. There is a lot of decomposed granite (good for water management) that needs to be landscaped---right now it is pretty ugly---and the bunkers need work. The staff is friendly. If they keep working and make a few adjustments (with the dg in particular), this can once again be a terrific public track.

Getting better. In 6+ mo, this will be a great 27 hole resort

I've been playing this course for several years. After the fire and the new owner buying out his partners, discourse is slowly becoming a ideal desert style course. The greens are usually in good shape in the fairways are good too. So managers are complaining about a little Astroturf to guide people on car paths. The obvious purpose is they're rebuilding the course. It's certainly a challenging course from the tips. Blues is perfect. I shot a respectable 85. Oscar and the pro at the pro shop are always super nice and super cool. I'm hoping to get in on some deals and maybe a membership prior to them re-opening with the hotel and full 27 holes. For Valencia – by far is the best and closest course around

Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, Robinson Ranch (I'm sorry Sand Canyon CC) is making a comeback under new ownership after last year's devasting fire. The north half of the Mountain course is gone, but the Valley course is quite playable. The greens are as good as ever, while areas of the fairways are being resodded. The sand traps have some weeds and need more sand; hopefully this is forthcoming. The driving range, which features completely shaded stalls, is now covered with a patchwork of artificial turf.

Sand canyon

Each month..the course gets a little better....fairways are getting green. Greens are beautiful. Still lots of rough spots but we are getting there. With a healthy rain season for 2017-2018...this course will be fantastic.
