Nice track in good shape.

Greens were in great shape. Probably will get a bit faster as the season progresses. Tee boxes were in top condition. They said, in the clubhouse, that the fairways were in a bit of rough shape but I found them to be in good condition. Only negative, which has been the same at all three courses I’ve played this week, is that the bunkers are in terrible shape. Cimarron, we wouldn’t even play out of them. I played out a couple here but also took a couple drops. Not sure what’s going on with the bunkers at all these courses. Definitely going back. Melissa, the cart girl, made us delicious Caesars before our round at a good price.

The course was in the best shape I've ever seen it. The only negative was they were running the sprinklers around several of the greens in the early afternoon. Had to dodge the on short chips

Very Dry

Golf course was very dry. The sand traps lacked sand. Course play was fine because there was not a lot of people there. The clubhouse did not have any amenities. The snack shop and bar were closed for the summer. There was also no cart girl. The starter and cart guy were friendly. The greens were in decent shape. Course zigzags throughout a neighborhood so you do take some streets to get to different holes. All and all, an OK experience. I think there are a lot of other golf courses to play that are nicer and have more amenities in the area.

The course was very dry and the sand traps were lacking sand. It appeared the overall conditions were just a lack of water and a lack of care. Staff was friendly and helpful. Kind of looks like it's a golf course on the way down

Course looked like it’ hasn’t had a drop of water on it in months. Greens dried, bumpy and so dry they’re cracking. Had to change carts twice because they barely run. Not enjoyable experience

Save your money

The course was in really bad condition. For the price you can definitely play somewhere with better condition. The course was worst than the LA County courses I play usually back in LA

Not worth it

The course is in really bad condition. Too many bald spots on the tee box, fairway and fringe. I play the LA county courses, and this one makes those courses look like country club courses. Wouldn't play it again unless it was free.

Cheap courses, that aren't !

This would be a fun course if there was sand in the bunkers and only one type of grass on the fairways, lot of weeds ! This course in the condition that it's in should cost no more than $30.00 a round. Most courses in the valley are over priced. makes me think of the series breaking bad. could be the car wash laundering money. seams the golfers are more of a pain ,instead of great deals to get more players.
