Awesome

The course was on excellent condition. Played the Mountain and Canyon courses and it was awesome. Great pace of play for a Sunday afternoon, took about 4:15 hours. The course was I'm impeccable condition. Gives you the feeling of two different courses. The views are spectacular. The best course in the South Bay, including Cordevalle.

Best course I’ve ever played

Greens nicest I’ve ever seen, layout was great. For a few bucks more than a muni I couldn’t believe how great this course was.

Interesting Layout

Fun layout that called for a variety of shots. Course plays longer than the yardage due to elevation changes. Fast greens. Must be on the correct side. Will definitely play again.
