Always A Fun Round

I've played this a few times. Great playing partners, excellent staff, good condition. Not sure why people play so slow or why they can't fix marks on green. I'm not a great player but I know enough to keep moving. My only complaint is they do not allow Senior County rate except before 7 and after 11am- even though County Card says rates apply before 7am and AFTER 9am on weekdays.

Snail’s pace

Played it on a Saturday and waited on every single tee box. Some par 3’s had 3 groups waiting on the tee. I would not recommend playing here on the weekend u less you are willing to dedicate your whole day.

Consistently Good Condition

Have played this course off and on for many years and I always find it in good condition. This course keeps you honest but is also very enjoyable to play. Staff are real professionals.

Rain

Kept the tee time even though the heaviest rains of the year had dumped 6-8 inches of rain over the previous 36 hours. It was cart paths only for golf carts but the course was very playable. Only on the 18th fairway did we have to relocate balls because of muddy soil. Yes, some bunkers had pools of water but many courses in southern California just are not playable after that much rain. Thank you to the staff and course designers for a good day of golf followed by lunch in the nice clubhouse restaurant.

Good pace & decent greens

Played here before when the pace was slower but not this day. My husband & I finished in 4 hours 20 minutes on Tuesday with two other singles who were good golfers and regulars. Proshop staff was professional & friendly.

SLOW Pace

Tricky, challenging and rewarding course, that is in great shape, and the greens are super fair and in great shape, too. The bunkers have real sand not hard packed dirt.
Five hours and 11 minutes to play 18 holes Friday with a noon tee time , teeing off at 12:25
Great course to play if you happen to get lucky on a day that it is not slow.
