Great Conditions After Rainy Weekend

Played after heavy rain for the past few days. This is the only course in LBC that you want to play after rain as it's more of a links course with drainage run offs. Greens were in pretty good shape but understandably slower after previous days rain. Potential rain in the forecast kept those away and I believe it was walking only too as too wet for carts. This was nice as it kept away the "weekend" golfers more worried about the frequency of beer cart than course conditions or pace of play. I just played winter rules in fairways and traps were tough after rain damage. You may lose a few balls in the water drainage areas but course played amazing after the rain. Go lt around in 3.5 hours too.

We just had a huge storm so the course needs lots of attention. I will be back during summer when it will be much greener and manicured.

Course staff did not honor GolfNow tee time

Have played this course dozens of times in past decade, and love the layout. Joined GolfNow and have made a couple reservations through that service. On each of the last two rounds made with golf now, the course put someone else in my tee time, and claimed that my tee time was later (interfering with my chances of finishing the round before sunset). I showed the Proshop and the starter my emailed written tee time confirmation and they just shrugged their shoulders. Apparently, Skylinks wants the reservation referrals from services like GolfNow, but does not feel bound to honor them. Beware.

Play Skylinnks

The course conditions are good...and the pace of play wasn't so bad. The Marshall at the First tee box was excellent. Very nice gentleman. He would allow us to play an hour before our actual T-time when a group didn't show up on time. I would play this course over again.

Thanks.

Just okay, wouldn’t play for the price here

Really expensive for what it is. Decent course and walkable. Average challenging level. Wouldn’t play for the price here though.

Course in terrible condition, badly managed

I’ve played this course regularly for ten years. At the end of November, 2022, it is near the worst condition I’ve ever seen it. Very unfortunate, because this is an expensive municipal course to play, and a terrific layout. Compounding the problems, the course does little or nothing to manage play, making for an unnecessarily slow round. And in my case, they put someone else in my tee time and had me tee off later, resulting in my not finishing before dark. The starter’s reaction - a shrug. I recommend waiting till spring or summer before trying this course. Maybe they’ll get their act together by then.

Course conditions

So bad!!!! Reminds me of links at Victoria only Victoria has better greens. Worst greens in Southern California. Bare fringes and fairways. Silt in bunkers not sand. 80$ to play and really slow. Might be worth 25$ but that’s it. Much better options than this cow pasture

Honestly not worth it anymore

Over priced, fairways are sooo thin and dry. Greens are decent but not consistent. Not much to be excited about in this course. It has a few really interesting approach shot with bunkers visually intimidating you. But that’s mostly cause the bunkers has rocks in them haha. I used to love this course but not for the price they want. Much better deals elsewhere
