What happened

Calimesa Country Club is in terrible condition. Greens are dryed out and cracked. Tee boxes look like a pasture and fairways are hard as concrete.
making a putt is all luck at this course

Dried Out Course

This course was completely dried out from fairways to the greens. The greens were dried to the point that the ground was burnt and cracking making it almost impossible to putt. There were maybe 3-4 greens that were playable. My group of 4 each paid $32 to play and we all felt that this course wouldn't have been worth $20 to play. Side note some of the dog leg holes had an almost 90 degree turn from the fairway to the green, very odd... The best thing about this course was the restaurant and the staff.

Still needs a lot of TLC

Classic William Bell course, short (5900 yds. from the tips) but occasionsaly tricky! Tees were rough, fairways were hard and dry, about half the greens were semi good (2 temp greens 4 & 8)! Some patches of really thick rough here and there...? Dirt cart paths, so lots of dust to breath, very bumpy and pot-holed too... I got an "Under $20 deal" and still over-priced! Cart girl came around once, on #4 and said she's leaving... very friendly staff otherwise! I'd heard about new owners and some improvements recently, but there's still a lot to do to revive this old tired classic track!

Great practice course

For a 10 $ bill you cannot beat this Robert Trent Jones Sr. layout. Yes the greens have issues but play the back tees and you have some nice little holes. Great practice for hybrids and irons. They have a full service bar and excellent kitchen to satisfy your pallet. Like I said its a great practice and price is right on HOT TIMES GOLF NOW!

Greens Need Extensive Work

Fairways were in fairly good shape. Greens were extremely poor. Many had large patches of no grass. Some areas of the greens looked like a lunar landscape with bare areas of caked mud and dirt mixed in with the still green parts.

My favorite local track just gets better and better.

This lil lady called Calimesa CC has so improved over the past few years. Strategic tree trimming and excellent maintenance has really helped the conditions. The fairways are very nice with excellent consistent ground coverage, no sign of drought here!. The greens are a little slower than a scratch golfer may prefer , but the carpet is nice and they reward placement on approach and hold well without being too soft IMNHO. The views of the backdrop northwards is one of the prettiest of any GC in So Cal featuring the mighty San Bernardino Mtns (Big Bear Area) . Play it off peak and you wont be sorry.

A Great Day:

This particular day was a great experience. We were allowed by management to start on the 10th hole and the pace of play was awesome! Beautiful weather and a wonderful day of golf! The course is unforgiving if you don't hit straight, but the challenge is a lot of fun. Just bring plenty of balls, just in case.

Very nice experience

I played on a Monday, mid day, as a single. Pace of play was excellent. Fairways and greens were in good shape and getting better. The sand traps need attention however. I signed up for a hot deal on Golf Now and the value was excellent.

Disappointed

We had golfed the course a few times last year and found it enjoyable; however, our round this year was not. Tee boxes had been mowed in strips; however on the majority of holes, the red markers were placed in the rough. Greens were very slow, need mowing. No marshall so pace of play was slow due to a group playing from tee boxes that were way beyond their ability.

The course next-door

I love my hometown course. Pace of play is great! The price that you pay here is a little high for what you get, when you can spend a little more and play a PGA course just down the street. I love the layout and doglegs. The bunkers need some work along with the tee pads but I know the staff has been working on that this year. The one thing I would recommend is a friendlier staff all around, from the greens keepers to the front decks.

Do not waste your time

First of all I was over charged at the pro shop from when I booked on their website and then the greens!!!! Oh my god the greens are the same texture as the back of a fat guys neck! It's horrible. This course is way over priced do not pay full rate. The 60's called and want this course back!

a course in need of TLC

Fairways were in terrible condition and the greens were worse. Can not putt on greens when the ball bounces all over the place. Like putting on rumble strips. What's worse is the attitude of the guy in the Pro Shop. He probably drives away customers faster than the poor condition of the course. Take a pass on this course!
