Played this course 2 days ago. I can't believe that its fairways have more and more bare spots. Now, the course is increasing its greens fees by $1. This course needs a makeover with its fairways. Probably it has to do the same thing Diamond Bar is trying to do.

I was surprised that there were lots of tee times available for a Sunday. But, I think that was because there was an expected storm later in the day. So, instead of a 4 hour-ish round, I was able to finish in around 3 ish hours.

As for the course itself, the course was in amazing shape relative to the courses I am used to playing in Los Angeles area. The greens were surprisingly quick. Lots of changes in elevation throughout the 18 holes. It is fair to say that the golf course beat me up fair and square.

I also rented clubs because I am from out of town. The staff were nice in giving me a free rental. Sure, they weren't top of the line. But, given that I am not a good player to begin with, I will take any decent looking set.

This golf course is beautiful. Nice backrop every hole. However, for a short hitter like me, there is no let up every hole! Rough is dense. Greens are big and a good bit of them have collection areas. If you are not on your A game, you are going to have a miserable 4 hours playing it! (I paid $35 for club rental, just FYI.)

I played earlier today after a rainy day yesterday. The fairways are in surprisingly great conditions. A few of the greens could use some work. But, overall, I joined a 3-some in the middle of the round and it was enjoyable. It has some tricky holes for sure. However, it also has some gettable holes if you hit good shots. The greens fees are quite affordable, even when you hire clubs.

When I saw the reviews on this on GolfAdvisor, I knew this is a must play if anybody likes links golf. The views of this golf course are stunning! The greens fees are reasonable for a links course. However, 50 pounds to hire golf clubs is steep (which is why I only put value for the money at 4 stars). If I were to hire a buggy, that would be another 50 pounds. So, this is also too steep, too!

Meanwhile, I did not know there are no Uber services from the golf course. Fortunately, there was a fellow player who drove me to the bus station so that I can get back to Belfast.

That said... I enjoyed the experience. I had some decent holes and some terrible holes... which is expected for me in links golf.

I have never played a Pete Dye course before until today. Since I read that the course is pretty short from the back tees (I usually play the tee in front), I took a risk and play from all the way back today. Boy, this course is a beast. Wind is a factor. So is the water looming for most of the holes. If your game is not sharp, you will pay for it. This course will make you grind for however long you get there.

Overall, even though it was challenging, I will be back when I am back in town.

I played here again after 2 months. I chose here because I figured I could get a reliable round under 4 hours and I worked nearby at West Covina yesterday. Even though I was behind a 4-some, I was able to complete the round in just under 4 hours. Course conditions- there were more ground under repair areas than the last time I came. I think it will be good if maintenance can spend some time to take care of the course soon so that the conditions will be better for next year.

I gave an earlier review to this course. I came back after 6 months. I guess today must be still a hot day in LA. So, the golf course was surprisingly open. Because of that, I am able to complete my round in 3 hours as I am able to play through a couple groups. Course conditions deserve a pass. After all, it's tough the last few days when LA is 100+ in the afternoons. Hopefully today is not an aberration on how fast I got through the course.

I can late to my tee time by 25 minutes. But the staff was very nice. The conditions can use some improvements. But overall I am able to finish in 4 hours. If you are not accurate, you will pay the price on your score.

I enjoyed playing the course yesterday. Have a fun array of holes. However, since I was stuck with a few groups ahead playing a college tournament, the pace of play was slow. It's important to have good spacing between groups.

I played this golf course two previous times before this time. Knowing from my previous experiences, I decided to book my tee time early. Yet, I had to wait 20-30 minutes after my scheduled tee time to play the course. The course is awesome. However, it's not a good idea to keep golfers waiting. 30-45 minutes wait is too long.

Today I played at the golf course. It was a pretty fun place to play with stunning views. Although it was my worse round ever score wise, I am glad I have a true seaside links golf experience. Golf is a bit pricey if you don't bring your clubs (I paid 110 euros for tee time, 35 for club hire, and 5 for trolley). But, considering there are quite a few holes facing Galway Bay, it is a fair price, especially considering it is well maintained! I played my round in about 4 hours with 2-3 other people today.
