Fun course great pace

This course was a real fun course to play on. The fairways were forgiving, great pace of play. The greens were a little rough but nothing some TLC can’t fix. I know it’s an older course but it showed it still has great potential of being a beautiful course. The staff was great, very friendly and very helpful. I would definitely come back and play here again.

P.S be on the look out for wild life, first hole we spotted a big snake in the fairway lol.

Great Views and Scenery’

I’ve been here a few times! Definitely would recommend. Didn’t loose too many balls. It’s really challenging on a windy day.

There were dead palm fronds land everywhere which made it impossible to find your ball off the fairway.

Brucer 3

We always have a good time playing at this course. However, they are fighting a large gopher or ground squirrel population which is directly impacting both the fairways and several greens.

Once Nice

The history of this resort and course goes back to Spring Training and the SF Giants. The course was part of their training home base. The old pictures look great and I’m sure the course was very nice back when Hollywood celebrities visited and played.

Now however, the course has been allowed to deteriorate with very spotty watering, tens of thousands of gopher holes destroying large parts of the course and no one around who seemed to be assuring a reasonable pace of play. As a result, we teed off at 10:15 and finished at 3:20.

Outside services didn’t so much as speak a word when we came in and never even approached us to clean clubs. Amazing!

There is potential here for a course that would be fun but ownership has let it go to the point where it hardly resembles the course it once was. It’s a shame.

Nice fairways and decent greens

Overall the course is pretty sweet. Only tough part was landing anywhere but the fairways, lots of desert areas and high grass rough. Bunkers weren’t soft at all, more dirt than actual sand.

Needs a little TLC

The scenery is beautiful on this course with mature trees. Greens are slow with some patchy spots. Fairways were in good condition. Tee boxes were a little hard packed.

Overall was okay for the price we paid and considering the cost of other courses in this area.
