Great course, great condition and good greens. Nice staff.
My only criticism would be allowing 5somes to play. It slows things down to a crawl.

Awesome conditions even after a rainy day.
We had a lot of rain the day before we played and thought the course might be a bit sloppy. It was not. There was standing water in some bunkers but we expected that after a heavy rain. Had a great day with my son in a fabulous track!

What a beautiful course
my 12 year old son and I had a blast playing CVR! We are from MN and play a lot of golf and were soooo impressed with the staff, course layout and the condition of the course. The greens were rolling to at least an 11 or 12, which was so fun. the back 9 which was through the rolling hills of CVR was breathtaking. the Pro Shop was very welcoming as well. We'll definitely be playing CVR again when we travel back to the central CA coast.
