Skylinks Golf Course

Two Marshalls/Starters on the first hole. If the 11:30 tee time is not on the tee at 11:27, they should be skipped. The 11:40 tee time I was part of was all there and ready, while we sat and witnessed the 11:30 tee time hit the last of their multiple tee shots at 11:39. That already puts us behind 10 minutes. Over the course of a day it puts your whole course behind. As I walked through the 18 holes I really could not see why I had to be there for 5 hours to complete the round. Only reason I could see is mis-management at the first tee.

As you arrive for the first time, there is no indication at the car park entrance that you are entering Skylinks GC.

Booking via GolfNow includes a cart - but if you want to walk, there is no reduction in price like other courses do - so you waste $14.

You cannot take your cart to your car to load your clubs - you have to carry your perhaps heavy bag up to 100 yards.

The long holes are so like each other - - and that becomes boring. Wide flat fairways, and lots of big, concrete-hard bunkers. At least the greens are roly, challenging and in good condition. The fairways have many un-filled divot holes.

As a first-timer - it's easy to get lost - having to cross a busy main road a couple of times to find the next tee - as there's no signposting that I could see.

Skylinks is currently a poor set-up for what could be a much better-presented course.

I will not play here again - there are very much better courses all over OC.

This courses isn’t for everyone. Tight thin grass makes you have to make clean contact with ball first. Lots of bunkers guarding your tee and approach shots. I’ve shot under 80 and over 90 in the same week here. Good pace 80% of the days I play but not sure what weekends look like here. I personally like this course more than eldo but trees and me don’t get along there

This is a nice walkable course. They were on schedule and actually got us off a little early. Tee time was 1;30 and we were able to get in 17 holes. In the winter during daylight savings that is good. Pan the starter was very friendly and helpful.

Fairways were hard and dry. In many areas the fairways were dirt, not grass.

Greens varied in speed. Some were not recently mowed and therefore slow, wihile others were faster.

The course was in better condition last summer.

This round was not worth $78

Wide lay out, nice and spacious.

The bunkers need sand , so that’s tricky in situations.

My first time there and I will return.

Tee time was at 12:50pm on Friday 1/5/23. Played 18 holes in 4 hours and 40 minutes. Got stuck behind a group that was playing slow, but was JUST able to finish in time as sun was setting. Course conditions were great! Love the layout and feel that it’s one of the better courses here in southern cali. Numerous bunkers and water hazards throughout. Will DEF play again!

I wasn't sure how the course would play after heavy rains the day/night before. It actually was in amazing shape with very little wetness. I thought the course wouldn't be that busy with the chance of no carts but I pulled in and the parking lot was pretty full. Pace was pretty good at about 4.5 hours. The fairways were surprising hard and fast if you hit a draw. Greens rolled around a 9 and were nice and smooth. The bunkers were the only thing that showed that it rained the night before. They weren't raked and I just pukked the ball out of them.

The course is always a pleasure to play although the ground has become a bit hard. The course maybe needs a little bit more water. Also, a lot of the sand traps were hard as a rock.

Charged holiday rates 90+, on election day. Range closed. No GPS. No cart service. Meh. Lakewood blows doors on this place
