Fair and fun.. good layout and course is pretty much right in front of you...

Tough course in these challenging conditions.... it really hurts now with COVID as the bunkering here is what this course is known for, so no rakes, makes bad bunkers

Have played here many times... always a good value, and a challenge... tee boxes need some work, but the issue is that this time, we were not told that the greens had been punched and sanded the day prior to us playing..... important to let players know this when making a tee time....

By far the most beautiful and seance course in the IE... challenging, but very playable, in good shape and just a wonderful golf course.

Course in good shape but got behind a couple of guys playing from the blues who have not right to do so, lack of marshal on the course, so could use that... 4:30 to play this course is SLOW (3 to 3 1/2 is normal)... but had a nice time.

So the course is fine as usual... rough was really patchy, and the fairways we not in great shape... but greens were good, and pace was wonderful today... the biggest issue is that when leaving, going past the outdoor area serving food and drink (outside the snack bar/restaurant, the small area was backed with people, none wearing mask, and nobody social distancing.... as it appears that Upland Hills is not following regulations regarding table spacing, I will not be returning as I think it's important that we all do what is need to be safe at this time.

So, not sure what happened, front nine was great, pace was swift, and cause was in decent condition... made the turn to the back and it got totally stacked up... single riders passing up my group (2 of us), super slow players, one guy playing music in the cart (loud), and by the time we got to 16, there were 10 people on the tee box... went around them, but a foursome on the green at 17, and a 2 some waiting on that tee.... decided to call it a day.

As always, the defense of this course are the greens... hard to keep it below the hole, and above, well lets say...good luck. Bumkers were in good shape... the tee boxes, not so much and many had all three sets of markers going off in the same place (nice for us shorter hitters)... always a challenge and soild course to play.

Got to hit it long here as length is the key to this course.... was in very good shape today and just know, big hitters fare better here.

So, Upland continues to work on the re-model of the course.. although I still consider it a modified executive course (6 par 3's), thet are working of adding some length to the 2 par fours they converted to par fives (adding new blue tee boxes).. as they oprn the new tee area, I am guessing they will move the whites back to make the par 5's play a bit more to par (right now, they are still playing at par 4 length (but are par 5's on the scorecard)... Greens were i the best shape I have seen in years, and it is a good place to work on your game.

As usual. the greens are the best in the IE... receptive and rooing at t good speed. Fairways and tee boxes showing a little summer heat, but this is a wonderful course.

This is the most beautiful course in the IE. Love the layout, condition of the house is outstanding (as usual), and lots of different challenges and hole types.

Just as usual.. course in really nice shape, wonderful layout, if your not hitting it well, your in trouble, but course is wonderfully playable with a great mix of holes!

So with the remodel (still happening), it is now more of a executive course with6 par 3's, and 2 par 5's playing under 400 yards (from the whites... not what I consider par 5's). Still a fun place to work on your short game, and when you can catch it at this price... well worth it.

With the wind up, and the course much tougher than Butterfield, this can be a long day.... it really good condition with medium fast greens, and a very enjoyable day at El Prado.

Love this layout... can always find a way to score here... greens are in good shape and pace was solid today.

Really should be told that the greens are healing from being punched and sanded when getting a tee time... as usual, the fairways are a bit patchy and pace was really slow today (not the usual pace)...... grapes were inconsistent (some soft sand, some hard packed)... so it was a bit of a rough go out there today.

This is a short layout that is under construction on a few holes (Only 17 holes are available now).... I am looking forward to seeing it when the new holes are completed, but for now, at this price, it is fun to play... fairways are it a bit of patchy conditions, but the greens are good....

So, got off to a rough start as they could not find my tee time (12:11 on the North Course)... after showing my confirmation on my phone, they found my time as 12:02 on the South.. have no idea how that happened)... with that said, fit me in and then was able to play with n issues... just lost a few balls as the rough was pretty deep and much, so anything that found it, was a search (as I was a single...it made it even harder).... greens were fast and had a great day!
