Hidden Gem

This is a hidden gem. However there are no bathrooms or water fountains anywhere on the golf course. Overall this is an incredible course! It’s a great executive level course. The pace of play is slow. We started our tee time almost 20-30 late due to waiting for the two groups in front of us who started late as well.

Nice quick round.

Post covid rules in effect. No restaurant or golf shop. There was iced cans of fluids at outdoor registration area to buy. Had a nice walk carrying my bag around this course. All long par 3s and 4s. Used driver on about 4 holes, mid irons on rest. Perfect 84 degree sunshine. Fairways a bit scruffy, but didn't seem to affect golf swing. Greens are slow, but in good condition. Holes are present but shallow to be able to pluck ball out with putter. Unfortunately, no flagsticks.

This is a really nice course to play 18 holes for practice at a really good price.

Walking the Course

Walking the course was a little challenging. I am 75 and

used to using a golf cart. I used to use a push cart all the time about five years ago. I like this course because it challenges my abilities and is a reasonable price.

Good practice course

Short par 60 course. Use driver and mid or short iron on the long holes and mid irons on par 3. Greens had been punched and were very slow, but true to roll. Sand traps were not really in much use. There is a stream down middle of course that provide a hazard to deal with. Fairly easy to walk as the slopes were fairly mild. Fairways are covered with green that are sometimes grass and sometimes clover, but reasonable to get rolls and to hit off. This is a nice little course to play at a great price with pleasant people.

Not bad at all!

For the price and pace of play, you can’t beat it. Fairways were rough in some parts and greens were a little slow, but again for the price you can’t beat it.

Good practice course

Greens were in good shape. Played with three nice random local guys. Don’t need to bring your driver, fine with fairway wood, hybrid, iron off the tee for par 4. Yeah you might hit driver perfect and drive a green. But given the short distance, not really needed.

Low cost low stress course

Short course meanders through residential canyon of Mission Viejo. Suspect easy to walk. Greens and traps in great shape. Fairways a bit ragged, but playable.

Fun Executive course

They cut back the shrubs a bit making the course more playable. Slight hills and not too challenging water hills make this a perfect choice for a beginner

Great Course for average golfers. Greens are in great shape. The play was a little slow and there is no marshall.

Amenities could use a little help. Overall good value for the money and great practice play

Stacked

I went to play this course just to work on my short game it’s a good course to do that as I played there before this time in particular the course was stacked and backed up. I thought maybe was just a busy day no big deal but then I found out the two groups in front of me had teetimes that were 40 minutes after mine. Come to find out nobody replace the starter when he took a break so everybody just started going off on there own . Needless to say I only played nine holes that day due to the back up. Pretty upset
