The layout of the course is interesting, challenging and features perfectly manicured lush, rolling fairways. You'll be glad you experienced this excellent combination of hole designs and truly great golf. Water comes into play on 10 holes.

Last minute tee time

Booked 2 days before and I am glad that I played a decent golf course for my first round in 2026.

Greens were pretty quick and several front to back tough lies.Fairways were in good condition with only a few bare spots.

Water bottles with ice were provided and food can be delivered or ordered for the turn.

Awesome Course

Amazing championship course. Very fun and challenging for all groups. My one caveat is the grass on some of the tee boxes is too high. Unfortunately was cart path only that day but still has a BLAST!

Great challenge

Playing this course is not easy for anyone. But challenges are so high that whenever you get to the green without having trouble you get rewarded with a par or few time a birdie! Have a try and fun.

5.5 hour Round 🤕

I LOVE THE COURSE AND STAFF WAS PHENOMENAL. It took us 5.5 hours to play the course and that my issue. Two people in our foursome left on hole 12.

Not worth the money.

This course has some nerve charging what they charge. The course is in tough shape. The tee boxes are pretty much all sand. Can’t really find a good spot to tee up (even on par 5s). The greens roll at a nice speed but are patchy and take weird bumps. The staff is nice and the service is good but not worth it. If you want to play in Hollywood, head to Orangebrook. Not as nice but worth saving $60

3 of 5 pts at best 11/23/25 round

Played here last approx 25-years ago when they could boast about all the tourneys they hosted. Not now. FF to Nov 2025, and the course is in terrible condition, and not just from a bad week more like a bad bunch of years. No way worth the $130/round. Multiple greens damaged, fairways 2/3 grass and 1/3 dirt, and the tee boxes --they should be embarrassed. Strange situation/pressure sell with the pro on a par 3 tee box asking for $20/shot to donate to a charity where you could win a sleeve or a glove if you hit the green. Save that for outings not people out on a weekend round. Really nice layout, multiple tee boxes, very friendly and accommodating staff.
