Decent Course- Poor Staff Member Experience

The course was average, but had really fast greens. In some cases, it was nearly impossible to stop the ball. I am a member of a country club and like fast greens, but a few times it got outrageous. It also took 5 hours to play on a Friday morning, which is a bit slow for a public course on a Friday morning. Overall, not a bad course for the cost on a Friday (peak hour) in Orange County. There were other courses with much higher rates that were likely similar in many ways.

However, the Director of Sales and Revenue is living in another world. My partner and I accidentally made two tee times (I don't live here and my partner made a tee time not knowing I already had one) and I called as a courtesy to cancel the first, given the mistake. Do you know this manager refused to cancel, stating a 24 hour cancellation policy. So if you by accident happen to book 4 tee times, you are out of luck. I thought it was completely outrageous that they still charged me for that and I do intend to take this up the chain of command. I am going to write a complaint to the Better Business Bureau regarding this issue, as it is ridiculous that I have to spend time and energy to dispute a simple mistake.

I shot 73. The course was in great shape. Nothing more to say.

Nice course

I liked the course. Only thing that struck me as weird is that I returned a dozen balls (didn't lose as many as I anticipated) and the pro shop took out each ball and inspected. It was analogous to someone scrutinizing your $100 bill for 2 min. Suggestion: if someone pays $200 for a round do not do this.

Other than that, was a great course

So So

A lot of mud and rough very close to the green. And took us a long time as there were a bunch of hackers in front of us. Play early and wait until conditions improve.

Best Public course in the East Bay

We were the first group out at 7:04 so we finished in 3 hours. The course was in good shape and the price was reasonable.
