Excellent greens

I haven’t played here in about 5 months and was pleasantly surprised at how nice the greens were. The fairways were a little bare on some holes but that’s to be expected during the summer.

First Time Playing

I actually like the layout, though I’ve read that some people were critical of it. The grounds were a solid 8 out of 10. The greens were receptive, so sticking an approach shot was awesome. Highly recommend playing here.

Really good!

I’ve been playing Mission Trails for 40 years and seen it in all kinds of conditions, good and bad. Played it now twice in the last month and so happy to see it in really good shape. Fairways have mostly healthy grass on them and the greens are excellent. Bunkers good too. You can tell they’re making great decisions by roping off some parts of fairways to let the grass grow better. Too bad other courses don’t do this. Congrats to the management and crew for the work they’re doing. For price versus conditions, this is best value in the county right now.

Fun times

Great time and very enjoyable. My only complaint is that the first hole is peppered with range balls. A easy to correct problem. Why isn’t this being addressed?

Mission Trails update

Really enjoyed the round. Greens were perfect; hard to read in many areas, but well maintained. Tee boxes were in rough shape. Many dry fairway areas, old grass and dirt. But for the money, just fine.

Late receiving golf cart to start the round.

Next, battery went dead on the back nine and had to wait for a cart to be delivered.

Course was pretty beat up would appreciate if somebody would clean up the rabbit droppings on the practice green before you tee off. Other than that staff was friendly everybody seemed pretty cool

Great Value, Fun Course, World-Class Hot Dog!

I always have a blast playing here, even if the fairways are not in the best condition. There are fun, quirky holes that are getable if you're swinging OK. Hot dogs are amazing - I'm not just saying that to be funny, they're the best dogs in the county. Way better than PetCo!

The course is fine

The course is actually in good shape. A little spotty here and there but still good. My only complaint is that they don’t bother to rake the bunkers on a daily basis and they still haven’t replaced the ones removed. The greens roll pretty good and hold shots well. I even hit my first Hole-In-One today on number 7!
