Great course

Always a pleasure to play this player friendly golf course. The five sets of tees gives everyone a very manageable course.

Nice course but marred by logistics of Del Web community

20 minute wait to get into De Web. Inaccurate driving instructions to the course once one has finally entered the community.

Awesome track! Just loved it

Nice wide fairways , houses at a nice distance off and sand and the traps were in great condition. Sweet to play out of. Greens were nice , for me could be softer, but minimize the ball marks I guess. All in all a pleasure to play. Thanks.

Fun Course in good shape but so slow.

I liked this course - moderate difficulty, but in great shape and decent warm up/practice facilities.

We played in the afternoon and although the cart has notices posted to keep to a 4hour 15minute round it was actually a 5 hour round. We played with a few older gentlemen who certainly didn't rush but still we waited at the tee on virtually every hole. No one was policing the slow play.

I would recommend the course but they really do need to enforce speedier play.

Not worth the trouble to get a tee time

We had a tee time for the Santa Rosa Course. When we arrived they had moved us to the San Gorgonia course for a shotgun. Staff blamed it on Golf Now.

We had already play San Gorgonia but we’re given no choice. I tried to call the pro shop to talk to someone about this and was always disconnected. When I tried another key choice I was told that line one was not working as if I should have known that.

All staff we dealt with in the pro shops were very curt. The San Gorgonia course is difficult to maneuver with lots of road crossings. Afternoon are extremely windy.

I will never play either of these courses again.

Great condition

We booked the Santa Rosa course on Golf Now, but when we arrived, we were told we were at the wrong golf course. When I showed my confirmation e-mail to the staff member, he said they have that problem with GolfNow and I should contact the company - seems like they should be doing that.

We had plenty of time, so schlepped all our bags back in the car and proceeded to the Gregornio pro shop. There we discover there is no beer cart, and that the bar/restaurant is closed for renovations. That certainly would have been nice to know before we left the other course!

But we had a great time, course is in great condition , and pace of play for a Sunday was good. Bit of a weird course layout with the front 9 heavily stacked with par 3s & 5s, but enjoyable and well maintained.
