Mountain Vista Golf Club - Santa Rosa Course

Nice layout, wide fairways. Most greens protected by sand traps and just enough water hazards on the course to keep you focused

We've played here a few times in the last 3 months and were beyond pleasantly surprised. Both courses are immaculate as far as being really well maintained. Starters at the first tee of both courses to keep things going. Tees, fairways, rough and greens I would give 5 stars. The San Gorgonio course has a very different front 9 with 5 par 3's but that's the ONLY oddity. I love letting the "Big Dogg" eat so that was a little bit of a bummer but other than that, GREAT course. It's really wide open off the tee but not some wide open cow pasture. The holes are very well defined but first and second cuts of rough and bunkering. The Santa Rosa course is really pretty wide open as well but much more fairway bunkering and definitely tougher than the Gorgonio. All in all beyond worthwhile but zero as far as snack shop during COVID that I saw so bring your own drinks and grub.

Friendly fairways, receptive greens, nice golf course to play a relaxed round.

Wide open fairways invite you to unleash the big dog, and you will find perfect lies on the fairway. The rough is another story, and if you miss left or right expect to find yourself with a hanging lie below your feet or an uphill lie above your feet. Almost all fairways have slopes surrounding them, which would be great if the rough wasn't long and the ball would run back down to the fairway.

The greens are another story, run fast and true, however, if you miss you are often faced with uphill blind shots because most of the greens are sitting on top of a hill. There is where the challenge begins.

Fun course to play.

Nice course for the price for this time of year in the palm spring area. Just be cautious that it can be windy there.

Looking forward to playing this course again. The layout is quite beautiful and yet a bit of a challenged on some holes. Well manicured greens and fairways made this round a great value.

A shorter track but all around a good experience. Well maintained for the volume of play it seems to have. Greens need a little love, but it didn’t slow them down. The pace of play was slower than other area courses but we still finished at 4hrs.

Have not enjoyed a round of golf so much as I did today. Absolutely nothing to complain about. Conditions from tee to green were excellent.

Rode the Blacks (6720/72.1/127) early morning with GDR23 in 3H, 20M. Overcast, breezy and in the 40's when we teed off, but in the 60's when we finished.

Course played long after the first rain of the season the day before. Lush and green throughout with snow capped mountains in the distance made for great scenery today. Over seeding much thicker than when I played here earlier in the month. Santa Rosa would be a challenging course to walk with many tees are a long way from the last green.

Over seeded tees were lush, level and nicely maintained with very few unfixed divots.

Over seeded fairways were lush and nice to play from.

Over seeded rough was thick/lush and in the 2.5" range, Penal when wet, not that bad once it dried out.

Sand traps were nicely maintained with thick, good dark quality sand.

Large over seeded greens putted medium fast and are firm. Few ball marks, they rolled nice!

Customer service is usually good from everyone here. No on course services due to COVID. Nice, all grass driving range. Basic carts do not have GPS or ports for electronics. Definitely recommended.

This was a great course. The fairways and greens were in excellent shape.

the only downside was cart path only, but that is typical for this time of year.

I look forward to playing there again.
