Beautiful course through the foothills.

Tough but workable with the cart assist layouts.
Greens had a pretty quick pace with lots of
Movement. Look forward to playing again.

Beautiful

Beautiful setting. Unwalkable, or at best very tedious. Giant greens sloping, tiered. Not much fun putting. Narrow. Cart shuts off all over the place. If you like course that ruin scores, this is for you!
That being said I’d play it again.

Nice Course

Course is nice and good condition. Only thing is the houses on the side. If you have a really bad slice or hook, it could be intimidating..

Snooty ptooty

The head starter had an really bad attitude. He actually was denigrating golf-now golfers. Said they were tearing up the course and wrecking the carts. ??? Thinks this course is Pebble Beach or Olympic Club. It was in very marginal condition. Course has gone downhill in a major way. Weedy and seedy. Range is horrible with worn out mats. Too bad, it used to be some place!

Challenge expected

Course is very challenging. Many holes are target golf. So you better bring your “A” game or a lot of extra balls. Greens are fast and tricky but very do-able. Practice putting green is pretty much what you’re going to get on the course.

Lack of Maintenance Obvious

I've played this course many times, but this is my first review. This is a very tight course, and any above a 15 should bring several sleeves of balls (think a case). Good shots can end up running through the hard-pan fairways into protected wetlands (can't play out of them or retrieve your ball), and every hole has a hazard of some kind off the tee. Fairway lies vary, but most are tight lies requiring solid ball striking (especially in the winter). Greens in really good shape, but collars and chipping areas in poor condition (think about chipping off hard pan, muddy thin lies, or crabgrass). If you don't hit your tee shots very straight, you will not likely want to come back. Course layout is fun for higher level players, but again, very difficult. No bailout on most holes, and a bad swing will cost you dearly. Staff is great, especially the bar staff. Has a fun bar to have a few after your round with views of the course, but food is just bar quality food. They are under new ownership, and they need to spend a lot of money on the course to make this a good value for anyone who doesn't live within a short drive. I wouldn't play it if I wasn't local. Not recommended for anyone above a 15 handicap unless you bring a full bag of balls and do not care about your score.

No What Expected

Fairways were not in very good shape. Course is very hilly with limited flat lies. Probably will not play this course again.

Great conditions for the time of year

Playing in the winter, you expect the course to be a bit rough and wet. The conditions were fantastic, no wet spots, allowed to drive in the fairways. Great conditions!
