Nice layout

I always enjoy playing at Seven Hills. Generally in great shape but a couple of greens are a bit crusty. They are improving though. Friendly staff and nice bar and restaurant. The bar closes way too early.

Nice golf course

The pace of play can be slow being located in a senior community but we hooked up with a twosome ahead of us on the sixth hole and that helped. Course is generally in good shape. A couple of the greens have problems and the 13th green is always struggling. But, the layout is nice with wide fairways and lots of trees.
Bar closes at 3 pm on weekdays which costs them business. Restaurant has great breakfasts and lunches.

Nice layout

The maintenance has improved recently with the long rough finally mowed. Practice green is much faster than the greens on the course but they are generally in good shape.
Our foursome eventually caught up with a threesome which was agonizingly slow over the last five holes.
But, like most courses, there are not marshals here.
The snack room has been painted and improved but could use a deck outside and an upgraded kitchen and bar.

Drunken Scramble

There were two foursomes playing a scramble in front of my group. They were slow so the front nine too over two and a half hours. Both foursomes decided to discuss their front nines over lots of beer and whiskey at the tenth tee box.

No marshal lets this type of situation occur. When we arrived at the tee box, the first foursome decided to set their bottles down and tee off. By the time the second foursome teed off three groups were waiting.

I played the tenth and could see this would be a six+ hour round so my day ended with only ten holes or $7.50/hole. When groups are on the course they should be monitored.

Other than the bad pace of play, the course was especially beautiful with fall colors and excellent conditions. I mentioned the drinking party slowing down the pace to a whiskey crawl when I left.

Decent pace of play

We waited on nearly every hole but not too long and finished in less than four hours. There are some tough holes at The Legends but a nice layout.

Nice layout

I’ve always enjoyed playing here. In recent years, it’s become a very popular place to play. The hurricane left some ponds on the course but they should be gone soon.

The GPS is accurate but the cart locks up in some bizarre areas including the cart path near the ninth tee box. Otherwise, the course is a great value.

Always a nice layout

Hemet GC runs through a beautiful senior community and provides a nice variety of holes. Fairways are okay but the greens are in great shape. Some of the bunkers have real sand and others have just dirt.
Clubhouse could use upgrades and build a real restaurant and bar. They have a general license but it’s a snack bar set up.

Links course conditions

This is a difficult test with very tight lies, fairways in need of grass and some patches of damage on the greens. That said, it’s a links course which has all of that.

Nice layout, no houses to worry about and not crowded on weekdays. The bar and restaurant are excellent and the staff very accommodating and friendly.

Beautiful course with very slow play

Apple Mountain has been one of my favorite courses for many years and remains so. It’s one of the most beautiful golf courses in the state. But, it is a challenging track.

When golfers play it and have little bother for groups behind them, it ruins the day for many others. I had to quit after nine holes since my golf partner and I had to wait on every hole. The front nine took nearly three hours!

Not crowded in the afternoon

Being in a senior community, Seven Hills has been pretty open in the afternoon. It’s been such a hot summer that locals have gotten used to early tee times. Yesterday, we had beautiful mild weather and no waiting on any hole.
The rain also greened up the fairways. Greens were a bit slow though.
Staff members are all friendly. The bar and restaurant are excellent.

One of my favorites

Soboba Springs GC has hosted many professional events and it’s extremely well-maintained. Friendly staff, challenging layout, excellent conditions and even a beverage cart out on an uncrowded day.

Only negative is that the Maze Bar and Grill is only open Thursday-Sunday.

Tough links course

I enjoy the challenge of this links-style course. Tight lies on links-style fairways. Greens are usually perfect but something damaged some of the greens and they need work. Nice bar and restaurant. Great staff.

Not too crowded

It was a pleasant afternoon and the course was not crowded at all. Our foursome completed our round in less than four hours. Fairways need some upgrading but the greens are nice.

Like this course but a fivesome and sixsome on Sunday?

I’ve played golf at this course for years. It was very hot and extremely windy making conditions tough. The course is always well-maintained and all of the staff are great.
Played on Sunday with my son who lives in Henderson and we were joined by a local single.
When we got to the second hole, a challenging uphill par 3, we waited for several minutes because there was a sixsome near the green.
They are awful so we eventually went around them. Smooth sailing for a few holes until the group ahead of us got stuck behind a fivesome, which is unheard of during the weekend. Of course, we had to skip a hole due to a slow sixsome which is unheard of on any day and on any course.
Nice that the large groups found a course on a Sunday that would let them play. But, it ruins much of the round for groups behind them.

Gorgeous golf course

Thanks to a few foursomes letting my play through, I was able to complete 18 in 2.5 hours. Golf is pretty much secondary to the beautiful scenery and condition of the course.

Greens were punched and no marshall

The back nine was closed so the front nine was really backed up primarily due to one foursome where golf lessons were being given. As a result, there were three to four groups on each hole except for two completely clear holes ahead of the slow group. Because there is not a course marshall, pace of play was an issue especially with groups going around twice on nine holes.

Summerly used to punch greens with equipment that made very small aeration holes. Apparently, that equipment is no longer available. Punched holes were very large and lots of sand was on each green making them unplayable.

Too bad this wasn’t notified on GolfNow and surprisingly, the Hot Deal rates were higher than normal. Waste of money.

Improvements underway

Relatively new ownership has continued with improvements to fairways, greens and bunkers. Staff continue to provide excellent customer service.

Greens were punched recently so they’re still a bit bumpy. Greening up nicely though. Fairways were just aerated and seeding is continuing.

Some bunkers have real sand in them. Still need to fill the rest. Some trees still need trimming. But overall, efforts are underway to improve the course and green fees including cart are under $40.

Extensive improvements of the clubhouse would be beneficial. They have a general ABC license but no bar. There’s room for expanding dining areas and outdoor decks into a nice facility which could attract a lot of west side residents.

Challenging layout

Winter conditions on Saturday included dormant fairways, strong winds, minor mold damage to a few greens which were otherwise fast and crowded with Super Bowl weekend golfers.

But, both courses have excellent layouts with challenging designs. Staff members were all very helpful and friendly. Nice bar with food available.

Nice course to play

I’ve golfed here for years. It’s in very good condition with a green or two undergoing some repair but progressing. It can be slow at times with a lot of senior golfers but most rounds are around four hours. Great staff in the pro shop, cart barn, restaurant and bar and maintenance.
