The Navy Destroyer course is in terrific shape with some very interesting holes. It's a very good challenge for the mid-handicapper with some long holes. It's a really nice track in very good shape. A couple of quirky holes aside, it was fun to play. My only objection was the pace of play - which is mostly do to the golfers and not the course. The day I played the weather was exceptionally hot and added stiff wind late in the day around 4PM so that made it more difficult. Bring your own water and ice chest, very little water on the course, and no cart persons bringing refreshments. The only opportunities are on Holes 9 and 11 which are at the Snack Shack. Otherwise, a great experience, I will play the course many times going forward.

I really enjoy Arrowood. It is a very nice course in very good condition. The layout is challenging but fair. There is some good elevation changes with variance in tee box locations and length to challenge every level. I think for the price on Golf Now, it is a good value in Southern California. Staff is very friendly, accommodating, and the pace of play is pretty good at around 4 hours. Clubhouse facilities are comfortable for a drink afterwards.

July 2013: Aviara is one of my favorite courses to play. My fourth time to play the course. Challenging but fair and not impossible to score well. Fairways and Greens were in excellent condition. Some absolutely beautiful holes, like playing in a garden particularly several par 3s. Some dry areas in the fairway roughs and several waterfall fountains were off for maintenance detracted a bit from the beauty. Course is on par with Pelican Hill minus the ocean views. Aviara Staff outstanding, very helpful, polite. Pace of play was good. Warm up range facilities were nice. Cost per person is expensive but worth it for special day. Getting a deal on tee cost is best way to play.
