I don't know if the SKY course is headed in the same direction that their MOUNTAIN(?) course did, but COME ON! Water this track!! It could be such a great course but the fairways and the greens seem to be neglected. And there is no ruff, just dirt. I know you're playing off the side of a mountain, but if you are not on target with each shot, your ball is gone. So make sure you bring a box of balls. I hate that the driving range is poorly set up and that you hit off dirt and dead grass. At least get the driving range right. I do appreciate that they make somewhat of an attempt to have a "cart" girl. A couple of cuties drive around in a standard golf cart with a big buck of beer and a zip lock bag of candy bars. Hey, better than nothing. More on the positive side, each hole is very unique and challenging. I enjoyed the various elevated tee-boxes and the tuff greens. I did shoot well and had a good time when I played last, but, for now, I ONLY play here when there is NOTHING available at other courses. Lost Canyons is in desperate need of some TLC.

NEW KID BEHIND THE DESK WAS NON TOO FRIENDLY. I DON'T REALLY LIKE THAT I CAN NOT BE REFUNDED FOR MY GOLFNOW RSVP FOR ONE DAY, AND INSTEAD HAVE IT MOVED TO ANOTHER. NEW KID WASN'T THE BEST AT EXPLAINING THIS TO US AND INSTEAD THOUGHT WE WERE PULLING A FAST ONE ON THEM. THEIR PRO-SHOP/STARTERS NEED TO BE RE-EVALUATED. THEIR STAFF NEEDS TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT "CUSTOMER SERVICE" & "STAFF FRIENDLINESS" SHOULD BE PRIORITY #1. ESPECIALLY ON A DAY WHEN IT WAS RAINING; YOU WOULD THINK THE FEW PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO GOLF IN IT, WOULD BE TREATED A LITTLE BIT NICER. NOT TO MENTION THE COURSE IS IN POOR SHAPE AND IN DESPERATE NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. I'VE LIVED IN THE S.F.VALLEY FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND I AM COMPLETELY OKAY WITH LIVING HERE ANOTHER 30 WITHOUT EVER HAVING TO PLAY VAN NUYS GOLF COURSE AGAIN.

GREEN FEES WERE VERY REASONABLE AND WORTH EVERY PENNY. FRIENDLY STAFF, COURSE IN GREAT CONDITION, STIFF GREENS, AND HANDS DOWN GORGEOUS SCENERY. I'LL BE BACK HERE AGAIN, VERY SOON. WE HAD A GREAT TIME, AND WE APPRECIATE THE FREE RANGE BALLS GIVEN WHILE WE WAITED FOR OUR TEE TIME ... VERY GENEROUS, CONSIDERING THE START TIME DELAY WE INCURRED.

The fellas and I had a great time and our tee time worked out perfectly in completing our round before dark. This track is one of my favorite local courses and for the layout/price, you can't go wrong.
