If you have time…

Pace of play needs to pick up on this course. My fault - I knew I only had 2 1/2 hours to play when I booked - when I got there I saw the traffic on the course and opted out playing.

Decent for the price

There’s no Marshall and no starter. So it’s pretty much free for all and the people do their own thing and make their own groups slowing down pace of play. Pretty sure a group of 4 walked on the course behind us without paying at hole 3. So nobody’s really paying attention. Which makes for slow pace of play even though it’s a short course.

Also bummer is you have to hit off mats instead of tee boxes when they are letting the tee box grass grow back, that’s a bit annoying.

Overall I would come back, but not in a hurry. Good price and if there weren’t people piled up ahead of us it’s probably a 2.5hr pace of play for a high handicapper like me.

Snack bar at the turn is legit. Good breakfast burrito and drinks.

This course is a dog patch. I had heard it had been improved. What a waste of money. Weeds everywhere; dirt instead of grass in many areas. Will not return.

Beginner practice course

Great for a beginner. Greens and skirt are in good shape but grass condition beyond that is spotty. We were coming from arizona in summer and are beginners so it was just nice to have some trees and nice weather to play. Planes from John Wayne airport roar overhead but not constantly going over. The price was very reasonable so overall it was fun to play for beginners.

Nightmare

The only compliment I can give this course is that the greens were in good condition. They schedule the tee time way too close together and then they let people go off the back randomly. We were watching a 4some take 45 minutes per hole(!) after cutting in front of the group in front of us on the tenth tee. We left the course after 4 hours passed w 3 holes left. The Marshalls were driving around and not encouraging any increase in pace. I saw 3 different groups leave early and it was still taking far too long. This course should cost 15$ max. If you are going to take people’s money to play golf, you should honor your end and provide something that is in the very least, reasonable. I will never play here again and I will actively discourage others from doing so. Waste of a day.

Thank you for your review. We do apologize for the experience you had at our course, we will take note to schedule tee times better to avoid overlaps that contribute to slow play, and the Marshall will be more effective assisting players in maintaining an acceptable pace of play. We value your feedback and hope that you will give us another chance to improve your next golf round experience.
