nice spot

Overall nice spot to play. The Greens are fast and larger than other courses I've played. The fairway is a bit narrow so if you don't hit straight your next shot is from either side that is laced with trees. Very challenging . Staff is very friendly.

Great value.

Course was in great condition. Teed off around 11:00 and finished in under 4 hours. Very little, if any, waiting. Great value for the money.

Shows recent improvement

This is certainly not a high-end course compared to many others in Riverside County, but it was in significantly better shape than it has been over the past few years. The tee boxes and the greens were in really good condition, and the fairways were respectable. Even the pace of play was good. There was no one in front of us the whole round. For about $24 on Memorial Day, it was a solid value. We did not use the range, which is mostly dirt and very little grass.

Just ok

The course was good and well kept. I've played here several times. Unfortunately there was a single and two pairs that started right after my group of three. So we felt pressure to play faster also the marshal was over us like a hawk which made some unneeded conversation especially since we let the single pass early on. Plus we were on schedule since we finished 18 holes in under 4 hours.

Bumpy greens

Okay course. The greens played a very definite role on each hole. It was apparent that the greens had been aerated withi the past 2-3 weeks, so they were uneven and bumpy. There were several putts that were affected by the poor quality of the greens.

Seems Poorly Managed

This was my first time here so this is my only experience with General Old. However, I wont be coming back. My tee time was 10am but we tee'd off 60 minutes after our tee time with no explanation other than "you picked a busy day to play." Really? I play all over Southern California every weekend and other than a frost delay, I've never went out this late . We were finally sent out on the 10th tee and just after teeing off, a couple off carts pull up saying that we are cutting in front of their skins tournament. So, 60 minutes late and we get sent out in the middle of one of the three tournaments that were on course. We then waited and let the tournament players through. I've never seen so many players stacked up on the first tee, or waiting on the putting greens as everyone was pushed back and switched around.

The Longest Day

Play was incredibly slow. We waited on every shot. At one point there were three groups on a tee. Course management seemed unconcerned about this. We never saw a marshal. Somebody in another group (you know it's slow when you start chatting with other groups) said there was a skins game ahead of us.

One of my favorite course

This is a nice fun intermediate course. The bunkers and greens are will maintained. The fairways are nice and wide but need a little maintenance. Great staff, always prompt and friendly.

windy but fun

I've played this course many times and have enjoyed the layout. Staff has always been friendly, greear practice green, decent chipping area and grass range. Windy conditions added a new wrinkle to play that provided good practice & if you keep an eye on your ball it was easily located as the course is pretty open. Always worth the money, don't miss the new bar either!

Great course for the money

Excellent value for your money. New club house , friendly and accommodating staff members , good practice facility and excellent greens, bunkers have plenty of sand and well maintained .Only negative was grass within fairways can be uneven mainly due to winter conditions and dormant Bermuda grass. Challenging championship layout that's well maintained. We'll be back.

Great Experience

The General Old Golf course was in wonderful shape. Pace of play was good. The greens are fast and in outstanding conditions but just don't short side yourself. I would highly recommend this track for the beginning golfer great place to play. Outstanding practice area. Plays a little long from the tips for an intermediate or beginner golfer but if you up for a challenge play from the tips.

Good for the local golfers

This course is good for the average golfer, to get out and play a round of golf. The course is in good condition in most parts and some not but your going to get that in a lot of places for the price. Fairways not leveled off a lot, patchy spots, greens looked good alittle hard I thought at times, but then again I didn't hit all of them. Staff I feel was friendly in the pro shop, my golf partner was running late and they had no problem with me getting out a little late off the tee. The pace was slow but the course is located by a Air Force base with some retired men and women who play there, in my mind I can wait a few extra minutes for them to play.

course needs help

This course is run down. Fairways are terrible and lack even lies. Rough is nonexistent and in need of care. Esthetically there's nothing this course can offer other than the mountain views, which suddenly get interrupted by the hail of bullets noise coming from the firing range RIGHT NEXT to the course. The pace of play on this given Sunday was horrible and I don't remember seeing a Marshall. I would say that the only attractive feature this course has to offer is the greens condition. I would not recommend or come back as there are many other courses that offer more for the money, left very dissatisfied and disappointed.

Fairway Blues

The fairways were dry maybe because of the cold weather or water rationing. But overall we had a blast , wide open fairways and a couple of challenging holes . Got a Great deal for 18holes plus cart. Drove 90miles to play this course because a friend told me about it. Great course if you lived in the area but not worth the drive.
