California Golf Course

and we love coming here, but slow play is usually an issue at this course so we only play here maybe 4 or 5 times a year. We were part of a 4 some and until the rain thinned the people out a little, we waited every shot every hole. Front nine was 2 hrs 40 min. Back nine about 2:20. While we waited for our tee off time I noticed twice large gaps coming in on 9, meaning as people were on green and no one on tee yet. Need to utilize rangers to monitor pace of play.

Course was in good shape and weather was excellent but extremely slow play at close to 5 1/2 hours.

Played this course on a Friday. Had a prepaid tee time for two. A couple of groups were playing so slow we were forced to pair up with another group. Even after this we were waiting 20-30 minutes between every hole. There were times that there were 15 of us waiting to tee off on the same hole. A staff member told us they had warned the slow groups to speed up. It never sped up. There were speed of play clocks but they were not enforced. The course was in great shape just tough to enjoy at that slow a pace.

I've played California many times, it has quite a few challenging holes. On Friday the pin placement was quite difficult making even some of the easier holes difficult. The course was in pretty good shape, however the greens had been aerated recently so the greens were very tricky.

always like to play here! even in January! the course is in good shape, will be back when weather changes!

Course still thawing/alot of greens and tees still frozen 2 inches down.
not complaining/sunny and 50/a good day was had. staff man was was very friendly and helpful as always.

Played this course two days in a row during fantastic fall weekend. This time of year leaves cause prob finding golf ball. Greens were in great shape. Hope more warm weather on the horizon. Will play California again.

The staff was friendly but the starter did not let us play in front of a3 some that was on the tee at the same time we were (we were a few minutes early). The 3 some did not let us play through on any hole even though there was only 2 of us and they had the opportunity to. Consequently it took 5 hours for us to play.

Greens great as they were aerated a month ago & filled in nicely. Leaves on ground hiding golf balls. Just the time of year.

First off, I/we have played California GC many times.
I was lucky to find a slot for two on Labor Day. Arrived early, got to tee off approx. 20 min. ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, we caught a foursome on the 3rd hole. Between the rain delays, and the BAD foursome, the front nine took what my son and I can normally play 18 holes in. Fortunately, the group went in to get refreshments at the turn so we continued to the back nine. The weather had broken by this point and it turned out to be a beautiful day. We caught another foursome on maybe 12 or 13, and they were polite and let us play through.
We finished the back 9 in about an hour and ten min.
Re-registered and played the front again....Just a note, we played the back and six holes on the front again before "our" foursome made it to the 18th hole..... Overall, a great day of golf with my son....But, it always is..

Course is in excellent condition. A lot of trees and different holes setup. Looking forward to playing here again.

Got to our tee time 30 mins earlier and was sent off the back. Completed the back in an hour and fifteen minutes. Then it was time to turn to the front and had to wait 40 minutes for leagues to tee off and then had a log jam on the front part resulting in an overall time of play being 5 1/2 hours. Great staff and understand leagues but even if I played the front to the back I might have been waiting longer.

Nice course, has some very challenging holes. Course management is key, small greens with lots of undulations. Played a little longer because of the wind and rain the night before( no Roll) all in all nice and challenging and the price was right 27.50 to ride 18.

Course was in great shape for mid-march... Only complaint was the $9.96 Golf Now fee. i was told this should be free

Grounds are kept in good shape. Much better shape than most other CRC courses. Nice view with creative holes. Overall a good course for the moderate, price conscientious player.

5 hours to play 18. We had a 5 some playing two groups ahead and the flies and bugs were ripping our legs and arms apart. But that's the river. Staff was very short with me. 1 hamburger was 5 dollars and energy drink was 5 dollars. I will never book here again. Too many other nice courses with great rates and friendly staff elsewhere

California, oh how you make it so hard to like you. I have never had any issues with the staff at any of the CRC courses this particular time included.

The course really wasn't even in that bad of condition. The greens were lightning quick though. It seems as if people take the time to repair their ball marks, and given their typical clientele, that actually shocks me.

I mostly get frustrated at California with the issue of pace of play. It did take our twosome just over 4.5 hours to play. Normally i would be able to accept that but out tee time was 7:30 am. There were two groups ahead of us. Did not even consider letting anybody through.

Long story short is that I guess I would play it just to know what I am talking about. The course is always crazy busy, and if you live anywhere but lower east side of CIncinnati it is a challenge to get to.

Dont even get me start on the condition of the cart paths either.

We played in late May and the course already showed bald patches in the rough. Moreover, the course was so dry cracks had formed in the ground, even in the fairway. The tee box for #13 had very few patches of grass to tee From. We paid $41 to try a new course and will not be going back. The layout was unique and challenging for many holes but there was very poor value for the dollar. I would believe, for the conditions, it should have been a $25 round of golf.
