Great Value!

For the money, this course is wonderful. Superb, friendly staff. Conveniently located practice range with a "bucket of ball" price that cannot be surpassed. Brooks Bar available for food and drinks. Practice putting and chipping greens right next to driving range. And the pro (Mike) ensures the range balls and practice greens are first-rate. As for the course, fairways in good shape, greens too. Overall, a fantastic place to practice one's game. Highly recommended.

Great Course Being Lost

Fairways and greens in excellent shape. Course is fairly wide in places making play somewhat free from lost balls. Cost of round at $23.97 was an excellent bargain. Unfortunately, the course is closing at the end of year, supposedly to make room for another housing tract. Too bad. Course is beautiful with several sloping fairways and old trees.. Doubt the housing tract will be as spectacular.

Excellent Course

Fairways in great shape, albeit a few muddy patches. Greens in superb condition. Pace of play excellent. Somewhat challenging course--narrow in places and a lot of trees. Staff friendly and helpful.

Excellent Day

Fairways and greens in excellent shape. Pace of play was a bit slow, but mostly due to being a twosome playing behind a foursome. Course has a variety of holes--straight, dog leg, elevation, water, etc. Sand traps could use a bit of work, e.g., sand very dense with some having large puddles of water. All in all, great course, Certainly recommend.

Nice Day

Weather was perfect. Greens for the most part were good, but the rough was very high making errant shots just off the fairway to be very hard to find. Course also very, very lumpy and uneven in many places. Overall though, enjoyed it. Worth the $27 I spent.

Excellent Day

Extremely pleased with course. Found the fairways and greens in great shape. Pace was superb--no issues with waiting nor being pushed from behind. Only issue was the bunkers. Sand very hard and compacted in all of the bunkers. One bunker had a fairly large area flooded with water which caused one in our group to lose his ball in the depth.

Great Day

Played on a HotDeal with friends. For the value, it was a superb day. Pace of play was excellent. Could play as fast as we liked. Except in a few areas, fairways are well kept, and greens are extremely good. Only issue was there is no sand in the bunkers. The bunkers are there, but they are now overgrown with weeds. Sad given that from what I can see in regards to their locations, having sand in them would make the course so much better and really more beautiful.

First Time

First time playing. Weather was excellent. Pace superb. Course very beautiful and well laid out with a variety of difficulty levels. Range right next to clubhouse. Fairways patchy in parts, but greens well kept. Bunkers a bit inconsistent--some soft, others hard as concrete. Staff was absolutely wonderful and accommodating. Made you feel valued and appreciated as a customer. Certainly made for a great day of golf. All in group stated a desire to return soon for another round.

First Time

First time playing. Staff and starter extremely friendly. Course Marshall very friendly, kept pace moving even though course crowded. Greens and traps in excellent shape. Fairways ok, but spotty. Virtually no rough. First time playing course. Was ok, but being from Inland Empire probably not worth the drive. Have many less crowded, better shape, and less expensive courses available locally. Enjoyable day. Nice to try a new location, but most likely will not be back.

Great Value

Greens excellent. Fairways dry in parts, but still good. Overall course was in great shape and pace was excellent. Great value for the price. Would be better if clubhouse remained opened a bit longer in the day. Started round at 1215 and found it closed by the time we finished.

Good Course

Second time playing. Fairways may need a little work, but not exceptionally bad. Greens in excellent shape. Course has narrow fairways, wide fairways, slopes, and elevation. Sand traps well maintained. Course bar/grill superb. Great selection of food/drink and prices extremely reasonable. Service was top notch. Will certainly plan on playing again.

Not Fun

First time playing this course and most likely the last time. Greens are in good shape, but the fairways frequently look like a lunar landscape with numerous large patches of sand and/or gravel. The rough is minimal and outside of that are rocks, gravel, and scrub. The course is very narrow with little water, but numerous sand traps lay hidden along the fairways. Couple that with a meandering deep ditch that is frequently difficult to see as it lines the greens and it made for a very frustrating round. Additionally, the course has minimal aesthetics . . . little water and virtually no trees. Living in Corona/Riverside area, I would not consider making the drive to Lake Elsinore again for this course, given all the others in the area that are much better maintained.

Needs Work

For a $6 Hot Deal one can hardly complain too much. This is a 9-hole executive golf course with a great driving range (both turf and artificial hitting areas), along with a putting green. Surprisedly there is also a nice little bar on the premises with big screen tvs, food, and a variety of beers. The course unfortunately needs work. The tee boxes are ill-kept with some of the blue tees looking liked they've been placed in the rough. The fairways could use a dose of weed killer and the rough is unevenly cut and deep in many places. Over watering has also left many areas in both the rough and fairways muddy and swampy and rutted with tire marks. The greens are good, but the bunkers seemed to be ignored by the grounds crews. This could really be a gem of a little practice course with some better maintenance. Would most likely not play more than once a year in current conditions.

Superb

Third time playing this course and it gets better every round. Although the pace of play was a bit slow, all the golfers I met were friendly and courteous. The fairways are in great shape, the rough well groomed, the bunkers full and soft, and the greens in excellent condition. Coupled with the daily all inclusive deal of unlimited range balls and all you can eat lunch and sodas, it makes for an unbelievably great outing for the price. I consider it the best deal going in the Inland Empire.

Superb Value

Second time playing course. First time not so great. Very slow play. Seemed like lots of inexperienced golfers on course holding up play. Did not feel it was worth the money.

This time pace was superb and the day was a great value for money. Fairways and greens in great shape. For $14 got a free bucket of balls and unlimited lunch/soda. Friendly staff and golfers. Will definitely play again.

Great Course

First time playing this course. Completely satisfied. Tee boxes great; fairways in excellent shape; greens superb; sand traps well kept; even the course restrooms were clean. This course seems to be really well maintained and I saw maintenance crew working on improving areas further. Staff is friendly, and for the price, it was a great day of golf. Didn't experience any of the rough problems stated in some other reviews. Rough appears to have been mowed and had no problem finding balls that landed out of fairway. Played mid-day during the week and I didn't see anyone else on the course while playing--neither in front nor behind. Only drawback is there is not much in course amenities, no bar or food, but will definitely play again in near future.
