Beware of Extreme Rough

This was my first time playing here. Overall, the course was good. The rough was a bit extreme and slowed pace of play a lot.

Course Good Cashier Arrogant

What a great rate for a Saturday round of golf at the General Old Course. But I thought that and many, many, others thought the same thing. The backup on the back nine was so bad, with a two groups wait on the 10th and 11th, that our foursome decided we might get in two or three more hole before darkness so we just went back to the 1st tee.and got in seven more. The first impression of the clubhouse cash register person and I guess so called starter never greeted me or others just stood and waited for you to speak. Was told I had to wait for a cart, no problem, I hit a small basket of range balls and as I was walking out I asked will I get called to the tee box at my start time and Mr. Personality replied sharply and tersly said "I'm not calling you". I came to get my cart key after hitting balls and stared at Mr. Personality and I wanted my cart he tossed the key at me and I had to ask does the key work on any cart and he said one word "yeah". Golf OK, register guy jerk.

Much Improved

Greens and most tee boxes are in good shape. Fairways were a bit dry but playable. Would be great if the management removed old dead trees and tried to revitalize the water hazards to reclaim some of the ambience from decades ago. Definitely recommend this course as a SoCal value.

Good layout - Challenging course - A warm welcome.

I had read a lot of negative reviews of the course, so didn't have high expectations... but the greens were in great shape. The fairways were in reasonable condition - if you miss them, you are in trouble on nearly every hole, off the fairways there isn't a lot of grass, so you need to land those drives. The tee boxes were in pretty good shape too, so overall the course played very well, with quite a challenging layout.

I was really happy with the course v the price I paid ($36 on a Sunday lunchtime).

The locals were all very friendly, I was invited to join the group ahead as they were only 3, so I was able to gain some local insight on the course as we played.

The range, chipping green, and putting greens were all really good - it was $8 for a small warmup basket of balls and you are hitting off grass.

I will definitely come back and play "The General" next time I am in the area, overall it was a great golfing experience.
