Great Course

This was our first time at the course and it has become one of our favorites in Temecula Valley. As others have stated, they are working on the course with the repair of sand bunkers. We golfed on a Sunday and the course was pretty busy as expected for the weekend. It took us 4 hours and 45 minutes to complete 18 rounds. Highly recommend this course!

Waste of time and money

I was never informed that 90% of the bunkers were being worked on. You had marshals roaming the course but I couldn’t figure out what they were doing. They sure didn’t do their job with making sure all of the golfers played at a decent pace. We teed off at 10:30 am and six hours later we finished our round. I caught glimpses of this course being really nice at o e time but it’s on the verge of becoming a goat track.

Resurrected

First I have to commend the new owner, maintenance crew, staff and the new superintendent for making this golf course come back to life. I have not played this course for years due to overall bad conditions. Recently I’ve heard a lot of changes and some good reviews on this golf course so I booked a game to see if what most people say is true. This weekend was an eye opener for me, I could not describe what I was seeing the entire 18 holes. The word is ( RESURRECTED! ) the golf course came back to life as I described it in the beginning. I have lived in the area for many years and always played at Temecula Creek, RedHawk and Journey at Pechanga. Now I can say this new reincarnated golf course is in my all time favorite. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Great course layout

I love this layout , tough but fair. Course was still recovering from all the rain, so some pretty muddy saturated spots. They are redoing a lot of their traps, adding drainage and sand, should be good when complete. Good to see them putting the effort in, too many courses have dismal sand traps, (no sand), collected water.
