Rio Hondo Golf Club
Played On 06/23/2020Very good muni
Had not played the course in about 8 years, and was pleasantly surprised.
Played a twilight round and it was in great shape. Greens a little slow, but true. Many good doglegs, and the sand was the nicest texture I have seen, including much more expensive courses.
Good pace of play --3 hr 45 min.
It didn't hurt that I went birdie-birdie-20 ft par save to finish holes 16-18.
Rustic Canyon Golf Course
Played On 03/07/2020Scottish Golf meets Pinehurst
Beautifully desgined course. Generous fairways, multi tiered, huge greens and collection areas/ aprons. Most players putt when off the green as grass is short and well kept.
Played with a local who knew the layout well, but still struggled on the greens. Most of time time, putts pulled toward 3rd greeen on East side of course.
Some things can be improved--first time playing. All flags were red , including those in front and very back of greens. It would help to have white and blue flags for traditional mid and back green pin placements.
A marshall is necessary out here, especially for afternoon rounds or weekends. Pace of play should be better than 4 hr 45 min. While we were on of the fee walking, we were usuallt waiting on carts in front of us. Golfers shoukd be given a friendly warning to keep better pace of play, or fall back a hole. Putts out here are not to win the Masters-- players should survey greens while partners are putting.
Not that this would work like it does elsewhere (eg UK), but having golfers produce a maximum handicap sheet of 24 or 30 to the pro shop is reasonable to avoid nonstop criss cross golf.
Would need a dozen rds here to best learn the greeens and areas around the greens.
