Hemet Golf Club

Used to play this course all the time 10+ years ago. Then between the last 8 years we played once and said no more. The course had steadily declined to unplayable to the point it wasn’t fun.

Couple weeks ago, my brother and I decided to give it another try. Figured the greens had just finished the aeration maintenance, they may be the best they’ve been or there’s a chance they are at their best. Sure enough, they were absolutely great. Greens alone are worth the $30. round.

The tee boxes are flat but divot ridden from players not filling with the buckets provided. Tee boxes are not great but not horrible.

Fairways are in good shape. Dirt patches here and there but overall, not an issue. The rough wasn’t bad, definitely playable and not overwhelming. Not too many holes with water.

Now, every course has its negatives and for sure the inconsistency of the fairway/ green side bunkers are this courses down side. However, we went 5 straight holes seeing maintenance crews in green side bunkers so I’d say they are aware and working to improve.

So, overall, for a $30. round, the course was in surprisingly good shape. So much so, we played it 3 times in May and are scheduled to play this coming Saturday! In order I’ve shot an 84, 82, and a 77. All with the same ball. Learning the course and managing shots around the fun layout is steadily paying off.

Great BLT sandwiches good course layout had a Funtime

Fun course to play. Lots of elevation and dog legs. Greens are huge and fast. Short course from the whites

Went out with a 3 some this morning. When we got there they put a single with us. Our third player explained to them he has severe PTSD and anxiety and wanted to ride in a separate cart from the single they paired us with. They said no, that they don’t do that on weekends . Needless to say our 3rd got his refund and left the course. If they can’t accommodate for veterans with disabilities this will be the last time our 3 some will be hitting Hemet Golf club.

Another concerned Veteran!

It’s been a while since I played this course but it looks decent some fairway are dry but the greens are in good.

This is a fantastically designed golf course that has sadly been allowed to fall into mediocre condition. The course is dry, grass is spotty and rough is well, rough. The bunkers are unplayable and multiple water hazards are as dry as the sahara. Somehow, the course is still fun to play. The greens are average. The pace of play is decent at 4+ hours on a Sunday. No marshal, no beverage cart. If you set you expectations, and don’t mind rolling your ball to find grass, you can still have fun here.

Nice course layout. Greens are awesome and fast. It’s a short course so play from blues if you’re a better player.

COVID 19 is on the rise, but the manager at Hemet Club doesn't care. I am immunocompromised. I needed a single cart for my own protection, especially since I have a spinal injection the following week. I paid the $15 they demanded, that's how important my continued health is to me. There were plenty of carts available and less than 20 players on the course. Over the last seven years, I've made friends with a handful of Club Staff employees. I will miss them, but I won't be playing here again. The manager's insistence on poor health guidelines and charging for a single cart reduces Hemet Club value to, "No Thanks,"

If you just want some fun and some practice this might be the course for you. Greens were recently punched and I couldn't really see where the fairway started and ended. I was just out with a friend and it was a last minute booking. Keep your expectations low.

Relatively new ownership has continued with improvements to fairways, greens and bunkers. Staff continue to provide excellent customer service.

Greens were punched recently so they’re still a bit bumpy. Greening up nicely though. Fairways were just aerated and seeding is continuing.

Some bunkers have real sand in them. Still need to fill the rest. Some trees still need trimming. But overall, efforts are underway to improve the course and green fees including cart are under $40.

Extensive improvements of the clubhouse would be beneficial. They have a general ABC license but no bar. There’s room for expanding dining areas and outdoor decks into a nice facility which could attract a lot of west side residents.
