RSQ-Irvine
Course chewed up. Fairways not good condition. Greens were super slow and spongy.
Return of RSJ
I have been playing at this course for a long time.
It was sad when it has been worsen due to lack of maintenance under the previous ownership. Fortunately I could see that it is being much improved after the current new owner purchased. I was impressed to see the return of RSJ where it is nice and pleasant to play at.
Under Construction
Greens are fantastic, but several fairways have extensive maintenance going on. Good use of “Ambassadors” and “Marshals”. Restaurant is undergoing a full rebuild, very limited refreshment selection in cold case.
Course is in nice condition right now.
Pace of play was decent for once. finished in 4 hours 10 min. on a Thus. 12:20 tee time. That is considered very good for this course as it is well known to be one of the slowest in O.C. The one thing I don't like about this course is it's location...It's right up the Back Bay and the wind funnels through the back bay right to the course...Then like clock work around 2 to 2:30 the wind turns direction and blows back out to the ocean, meaning it seems almost every hole is into the wind....Sometimes. Greens where in great shape and the pin placements where tough.
Slow Round
This course is usually in pretty decent shape and greens are typically above average. This round fell short of my expectations but hopefully they’ll get it back into shape. Pace was really bad as it took about 5 hours to complete round. Definitely not worth $90 but will play here again at some point.
Enjoyed day, but foursome in front were very slow. Had to wAit to tee off 90% of the time. Front nine took 2 and 1/2 hours. Could a course manager be available to help move all groups playing too slow?
Greens and fairways in good shape, they’re putting more attention to course overall
Very good course
Play there every time I can. Overall everything is great. Local course. Love it 😀
Need to monitor pace
Nice course. Some fairway condition issues but not terrible. We had a twosome cut in on us after the front nine and things were going to be tight anyway.. Finished at dusk but should have been done 20 minutes before. Nothing but a shrug from staff when mentioned. Staff were great at check in and at the Starter's kiosk
