Good times

Staff is professional and BIP the starter is very cool. The layout was nice and front nine pace was amazing but back nine was clogged up. Respectful playing partners made the day go smoother. The price is a tad high for a shorter course but overall the course is pretty good shape except for the too many non-repaired ball marks on green.

Great Course

Nice course for any skilled level player. Upon checking in, the starter gave me a run down of the course and even gave me a heads up about them aerating the greens. I love that because I feel when courses know when they’re aerating the greens the say nothing to get your money and let you find out on your own when you reach a green. But its the offseason and a lot of courses are doing that this time of the season so I did not care. But when I got out there I was amazed at how well the greens looked and were rolling. This course’s aerated greens were better than many course’s regular prime season greens. The course was well maintained as well. I hate it when you step up to a tee box and there are divots all over the tees and large areas of brown spots. Don’t get me wrong, its still a public city course and no Augusta but by far one of the best maintained city courses I’ve played so far. Will definitely be coming back to play again.

Decent Course

The course was nice, not too hard for average golfers. Our only problem was the guy at the starter box was rushing us, and we were early for our tee time. That was very annoying. Other then that, we enjoyed it.

One of my local favorites

I play golf 2 to 3 times a month and play skylinks 5 or 6 times a year. Love the layout, has good length and is a great walking course. The course is fairly flat, is fair, but is challenging. Water, numerous traps and sucker pins are there to get you. The price is a more than other public courses but it is one of the best in the area in my opinion.

Do not play

Created an account on this website just to share how awful the experience was playing here. They allow fivesomes. The caliber of player isn't great, which is one thing, but there's no marshal going around doing anything. There were multiple holes where it was backed up 4 parties, and you have a 5some thats mixed with walkers, drivers, people playing tips and reds, etc. Its a joke.

Took 3.:10 to play nine. Left. And that's 73$? Take the hour trip into the inland empire and corona area if you're looking to keep it under 100$ a round and actually play it in 4.5 hours.

Kicker then was as I was leaving nine, the marshal asked if we let a 2some behind us play through. I asked why I would do that. He acted as though he had asked us to....if he did I didnt understand him and I don't know why I'd be doing his job for him. And no, we didnt let a group behind us play through... we had just sat for 20 mins on the par 3 9th. Then he accused me of having a bad attitude and said 6-hour rounds are to be expected on a saturday and that I don't have course etiquette.

I'm not even a good golfer - I would have shot 100. But I can do it in 4.5 hours or less and I learned about etiquette long before this person even dreamed about becoming a lazy marshal.

Lovely Day on the Course

Weather was perfect! Our round took 4 1/2 hours on a Thursday. The greens were a but bumpy. Other than waiting for groups in front of us, we had a good time.

Ok course.... just too slow

Pace of play is not good when you allow 5-somes on the course. 6:10 to play. Not ideal. Have to be better in managing the pace.
