Great course, Bad marshals

Overall was a great course and enjoyed it.

Unfortunately the Marshal on the course that day was rude and a jerk to me and my girlfriend. I believe his name was Skip or Ship something like that. It was on the back 9 when we were teeing off and he was sitting there watching us. We were like the 4th group out that morning so the pace of play was really fast and we weren’t backing up anyone or slowing people down. On the whole he was watching us we hit a few bad balls that were lost and went into the bushes so we hit another ball because no one was behind us and the group behind us hadn’t even started the hole previously yet so we knew we had time to hit a second ball like everyone does if they loose a ball. As we were driving up to the green he passed us on the cart path and stopped us and was really rude to us and made comments saying we weren’t allowed to hit another ball and made us feel uncomfortable out there. Obviously if the pace was slow or people were waiting we would just drop a ball and keep playing. We know the golf rules and how to keep the pace playing fast but we weren’t slowing anyone down that day and due to it being so early in the morning it obviously wasn’t a big deal for anyone else either.

New and Improved

First time I have played it in a while and it is in MUCH better shape than it used to be. Clubhouse is basically done now, practice areas are open, nice patio seating area, new carts, all holes are open (including the old #5 by the DMV). Best experience yet at the ditch.

Challenging but fun…little gem

I came out to SC to beat the Riverside heat. This course was a pleasant surprise. It was a challenging course, good price, good fairway and green conditions..and very friendly staff. I’ll be back!

Getting better...but more work to be done

We've been playing this course since Jan. '23. when it was 'very rough'. Over time, the crew has been making steady process, including opening up the clubhouse - sort of. However the tee boxes are a mess (#10 was soaking wet at 12:30pm). Greens still need more work as well, and pace of play was very slow as more marshalling is needed throughout the day.

Getting better

Course has improved immensely the last couple of years, with the grass in the fairways in my mind being the greatest plus. Being partially in the new facilities is also a great plus. Having state of the art restrooms in the new facility is great but having trash container overflowing is not. Also I hope that permanent restrooms on the course is in the plan as using the outhouses is atrocious. Having roses around the t-boxes is asthetically beautiful but honey bees are attracted to them and anything swinging around them makes them angry??? Pace of play on this stay started off bad and at the turn was worse; with a 4 some leaving the green and a 4 some on the tee and another 2 some ahead of us for a 30 min wait??? Did get better but the 2 some ahead of us quit on 15 as did the group behind us driving by as we were waiting to t-off on 16. I like the staff here and play with a regular who is a friend so I'll be back but I don't know about the people in front and in back on this day!

Welcome back

First time back in years. Course was in pretty good condition. No driving range but very nice (new) putting and chipping area. When new clubhouse opens it will be a very nice facility.

Tremendous Improvement

This has been a "second rate", but therefore appropriately cheap, course for decades. However, the upgrade work on the seaward 9 is finally completed and is fabulous. I look forward to the new clubhouse, etc. Definitely a better and more satisfying experience!

Very challenging tight course that demands good drives & good iron play. Course is back to playing full which nice. Greens still need some attention. Front nine conditions playing better than back nine. Bring extras balls, the tight fairways in the canyons demand straight drives.

Not bad. Love the improvements

I hadn’t played here in probably 10 years. They have made great improvements to the course! Course as a whole was in good condition and pace of play was not bad. My wife played with me and her only complaint was there are no bathrooms except for porta-johns.

After 2 years of remodeling finally in great shape

The course was a construction ground for more than 2 years but finally the have reopened it. Layout is great, some holes are a real challenge. Loved the greens.

Still over priced

The whole course isn’t even open but they’re charging premium rates? At least knock of $10 like normal courses when theyre doing construction or post aerated. I get that this course is doing a lot of work, but they shouldn’t be taking advantage of their golfers. No reason they shouldn’t be booking out their tee times everyday, clearly over priced dog track.
