Royal Vista Golf Club

Second time I played and the whole place was not managed right and I ruined my brand new shoes and pants. I am not sure why they still charged $60 per person. I will never go there and worst experience.

Came here to the East Course to play nine holes with a group. I have to say, I paid $30 for nine holes and even if it was $5, it would have been too much. What the heck happened here? Sure it's been raining, but the course must not have any drains or mowers. They should just close for now, or this place is going to be destroyed from the carts. Besides the mud and muck, the grass is almost a foot tall in the rough and you will not find your ball without a good eye and a search party. I've played on dirt golf courses that were better. The Greens were also punched with heavy sand coverage, but you can tell that once they recover, they will be in decent shape. That's the only good thing I can say right now. Come on RV, golf is your business, but it won't be for long with course conditions like this.

Dont play here! I’m not coming back here even if it costs $5. It’s the worst course I’ve been into in California with a poor course maintenance and service. Dont expect to find a ball in the fairway because the grass is so long you’ll consistently lose your balls. Trust me. It’s not worth your time.

This place needs to do a better job an keeping the course in better shape, sand traps are dirt and grass is too long even on the fairway.

I booked a Sunday, 3/26, tee at 2:30 pm for the South/East course to chill with the boys and enjoy my afternoon before another long week. I showed up early to checked in at the golf shop and found out that another group had booked the same tee time, and the gentleman working at the front desk said that everyone is being “funneled” to the South course.

I booked the pre-twilight time anticipating that 4.30 hours (5 hours for a long round) should be sufficient for us to finish 18.

We did not officially tee off until 2:45 pm given the double/over booking. There were groups of 5s and 6s playing and most holes we would have to wait about 10 minutes to tee off.

Given the recent rain we had in Cali it is understandable that certain part of the course would be muddy… however, muddy is an understandable… the conditions of the fairways on most holes of the South course was unplayable due mesh/mush ground that you can’t even stand on and the grass was beyond unkept with length about a foot long. It took us almost 3 hours to finish 9 holes… that’s just ridiculous even if the pace is slow.

We then proceeded to the East course for our next 9 holes. In making the turn, we met the Marshall who had closed off the East course. He mentioned that any Tee time booked after 2:39 pm will have to go to the North Course. My tee was 2:30 for the South/East course. I paid for the green fees in fully ($195 for 3) albeit this should have been discounted given the conditions. I implored to the Marshall that it is only fair he allowed us to play on the East, and I’m out here to enjoy a nice round of golf and not to sit around to tee off or hit my next shot given the slow pace of play and amount of people being funneled to North course. We spoke for about 10 minutes and his final reason was that if he let us play on the East course, then he will not be able to leave on time… how is this fair to me.

Anyhow, we ended up only getting in another 4 holes… where we were informed that it would be our last hole given that all carts needed to be in by 7… it was 6:50 still lots of daylight. I would have like to see this same type of enforcement on the pace of play… but nope didn’t see that at all.

I will never go back to this course. Staff was super unprofessional and ruined my golf experience. Golf for me is supposed to be relaxing and fun… this place ain’t it.

Haven’t played here in almost 6 months but what the heck happened?! This used to be a decent course for the price but it’s now one of the worse. I probably lost 12-15 balls and I’m not exaggerating and I didn’t go OB or water. Imagine losing your balls in the rough and even on the fairway! How? The grass is unkept. It’s been raining a lot in SoCal but boy, you can’t play in that condition! You should close it down and clear up the course first.

Bring ur waterproof shoes!!! Played E/N and this place is full of mudd and 6inch deep wet rough. My group lost at least 5 balls that rolled into rough and unable to locate. Greens rolled good. Punching this wk, so i would avoid this place for a few wks.

Hole 1 on the south course is unplayable. The lake between 123 holes on the south 9 is overflowing causing massive damage and should be closed. The long rain days have left the south side unplayable because of the massive overgrown fairways and the edges. However the greens were spectacular. I lost 6 balls that were plugged in 8 to ten inches of wet grass. After the spectacle of the south 9 we were treated to the east 9 and some simialance to golf. They will be punching very soon and these awsome greens will be epic in May. I will be back in May and do a follow up review. 5 somes should be outlawed and pace of play should be expected but not here...food was really good and the range was clean bur needs some work on the field of range play. Overall...it will be better in May

I booked a tee time for 8:15am Friday morning. Ended up asking for a refund before teeing off because they let the really old men's club tee off two at a time so we weren't going to tee off til after 9am. Instead of allowing the two of us to tee off at the north or south course first, they wanted us to wait until the men's club were done taking their sweet time. What a joke.

First I have to commend the maintenance crew, staff and the new superintendent for making this golf course come back to life. I have not played this course for a long time due to overall bad conditions. Recently I’ve heard a lot of changes and some good conditions on this golf course. The golf course came back to life as I described it in the beginning. Thank you and keep up the good work

Friendly staff, very flexible working around part of the group late due to traffic. Green fee was reasonable and the course conditions were slightly better than average even with the heavy play . Pace was a little slow, but groups would let you play thru. I didn't see any marshals patrolling the course. Figure on a 4.5 to 5.0 hours round.

To whom it may concern,
I've got tee-time 12:45 pm by online.
Total $72.00 (2 player) and paid green fee $2.00
Due at course $70.00

But...But, when I get the proshop check in, he wants me to pay $86.00 to play not $70.00

I use "Tee-Off" every week to make reservations, but this is the first time, and it was very unpleasant.

I wanted to come back, but I had to pay the money and play because I didn't want to spoil other player mood.
If this price is not right, I think I should get a refund.
And, I sincerely hope that there will be no more cases like me at the Royal Vista golf course.
Thank you

Apparently there was a tournament going on on East/North course but it was painfully slow paying behind them and we only were able to finish 6 holes in 2 1/2 hours. Not wanting to wait on every hole, we moved to South after playing 9 holes on East. I think South was an abanonded course without any signs of maintenance besides greens. Also 18 hole was missing a flag so we had no idea where the hole was. There were seveal banners hang on nearby homes that read "Save Royal Vista Golf Course". I hate to see another golf course being closed for a development but maybe this course is inevitable, at least if no improvement is made.
