Better be patient

Course plays really, really slow. Had to wait on just about every hole on a Tuesday. It’s an ok layout and greens were in good condition, but hard to get a good rhythm having to wait 5 - 10 min between every shot. Wouldn’t play again unless I was in one of the first groups out.

tiring day

Walked course like usual. Tired at end, mostly cause of having to stand while waiting for one or two groups in front of me to tee off. No control over pace of play on this Friday afternoon. Sand traps were very irregular today as well.

The city has really improved the course conditions and amenities

I've played this course for years and the city of Mission Viejo has it in the best condition ever!..Their clubhouse and patio area are going to be spectacular when they finish the remodels.

well worth the price

This is a good course to tune up shorter woods and irons. Par 3's and par 4"s. Not too many hazards and only a few fairways are hard to hit. Easy to carry a bag on.

Greens in great shape though a bit slow, rolled true.

Well worth the price to play.

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.
