A little rough around the edges

We’ve enjoyed this course for many years and after 2 yrs of covid absence we were greatly looking forward to our return south in Jan 2022. Covid supply chain issues gets the blame apparently for the course conditions as course management were not able to source sufficient grass seed for winter over seeding which resulted in many brown patches and thin turf along fairway edges and around greens. This may’ve also resulted in the poor greens as they were patchy and bumpy. Still very playable and enjoyable, it is not the beautiful lush course experienced precovid. Most if not all fairway bunkers were left unmaintained and played as ground under repair, which certainly helped my game.

Still a pleasant course with excellent friendly staff that make up for any course condition shortcomings. We’ll be looking forward to better course conditions upon our return south next winter.

Basic course with spectacular views

We enjoyed our round at the North course, but were disappointed with several features: cart paths are nearly non-existent and in fair to poor condition, greens were consistently poor (seem to be between two kinds of grass), fairway bunkers are going back to nature which lowers the visual appeal of many holes. Because the grass on greens was mixed, you could see most putts bouncing rather than rolling. The course was pretty long from both forward tees, but most holes were very playable with few blind shots. We had a great time there, however, because the canyon visuals are outstanding. The water jet was a nice visual from several holes, though it wasn’t in lay from the forward tees. Not much water in play overall. We were paired with two men who knew the course well and pointed out homes of former Hollywood greats on several holes and in the hills overlooking the course. The course needs some upkeep to get back to a condition consistent with other courses in the area and in this price range.

Disappointed

The conditions of the turf on the fairways and in the rough were bad. Lots of brown spots and bare spots. The fairway traps are in horrible shape. We were told we could get a free lift if we find ourselves in the fairway traps.

Not what it used to be

Course was in less than ideal condition. I have never seen their greens as bad as they were. Patchy and bumpy. I would not pay what they are asking for this course. They should reduce their price until such time as it is worth it again.

Disappointing

I first played this course 7 years ago. Conditions were excellent and loved the layout. Unfortunately, the intervening years have not been kind. Fairway bunkers are unplayable; golfers are instructed to remove their ball from the bunker and take a free drop. So much poa annua in the greens that they are extremely bumpy. Many putts were sent off-line by the condition of the greens. Highly recommend playing the South course instead, which is pristine and more interesting layout.

Always fun

Fun day on a well managed golf course. Golf course appeal to all caliber of golfers. Greens were transistioning between bermuda and cool season overseed, so they were pretty darn bumpy. But hey, I'm an amateur so I take what the golf course offers each time out. You'll have fun!

Golf is good,
