Our home course.

My foursome are at home at the Sol. We play here at least once a week. Always a good deal and after 3pm it's only $19 and you get a free drink. Get a great grilled hot dog at the turn! Great amenities.

Great Course

I played this course while in town on vacation. I lived in the area, but never played this course. I wish I had though! This course was fantastic. Compared to Midwest courses, this course was above par (no pun intended). Very open but not like a links stlyle course, you still have to keep it between the uprights and not go pounding out drives that fade or slice. The greens were super fast and hard to read. Another post mentioned the sand traps and to stay out of them. They were right. 1st tee off landed in the sand with a high wall and broke me off first thing into the round. Overall, one of the top courses I've played in the country so far and will be hard to beat in my opinion. They paired us up with two other guys which were at our skill level and we had a blast. The ladies behind us were kicking butt and right on our tails, so this isn't a "gentlemens" course where you are having to kill 500 yard drives. Loved it, I'll be back!

how do i get a Players Club discount?

I have been told twice that i have to get a tee time on line to use my Players Club discount. However, no one seems to know how to do that. I called Lake Forest and they sebt me to contact Casta Del Sol. I called Casta Del Sol and they sent me to Lake Forest, but later said to go GolfNow. I did that and got the same tee time procedure that i got by going to Casta's web site.

How do i get my discount?

Blessings,

Fred

High Quality Value

For a short course (par 60), the quality of the course is well worth the cost to play. A great value and a well managed course for a quick play of 18.

my go to course

This is my go to course so close to my house and work, I play here almost every other day after I get off at 5pm. Good price after 5 oclock,, if you get ahead course can be finished in 3 hours or before dark, sometime a lot of walkers so it slows the pace of play, a very good short course to practice irons and your short game. highly recommend and will always be my go to course

Nobody managing carts, our cart broke down, coffee dregs at bottom of pot

Pro shop woman was friendly.

On your own if first time, nobody to help find a cart, took a cart from the 'return' row, not sure of battery charge.

Our cart broke down on the 5th hole, Called pro shot. Turned key to off, pulled pedal all the way back. Somehow this fixed it. Had to repeat the process a couple more times.

Wanted coffee at end of 9th, just dregs at bottom of the pot, had to ask for cream. Restaurant empty so can't blame busy staff.

Short Won't Kill You

This is a moderately challenging course. Some elevation changes and water does come into play on a few holes. Not reaching the green in regulation is no big deal--as long as you can chip/pitch to get to the pin. The risk/reward factor rarely favors the recreational (high-handicapper) golfer. Chugging along down the center is your safest bet even if your not long.

Pace-of-play is your biggest enemy: Lots of hackers/beginners contribute to plenty of wait time on the tee box as they plod along and look for their lost balls. Consequently it' hard to get a rhythm going throughout the round.

Btw--Get a cart unless you REALLY like challenging terrains. Plus, you can kickback in comfort...while you wait.

Unorganized chaos

Arrived early for tee time, when I checked in was told to come back in 25 minutes there were no carts. I went outside to practice green and there were quite a few golfers milling about waiting for carts and no one seemed to know who was next up and if there was an order. There was a player ambassador who didn't seem to know what was happening next. He would have been of better use if he had been assigned role of starter with a proper tee sheet. I checked in again for a second time and was told we would have to wait for a cart. No instruction as to my position in line or who to see about my place in line. Eventually pressed the issue with the attendant and he told me I could follow the guy with the green hat. Anyway got our cart and turned out we were paired with another twosome who also had to wait for a cart. Made it to the first tee about 25 min past my tee time. The course is okay for the time of year, the greens were very good. Pace of play WS slow, 2 hrs 45min for front 9. We quit after 9 holes as we were on pace for a 5+ hr round on what is essentially an executive course.

Disappointment

It has been years since I last played this course. The condition of the course is poor. The lack of on course supervision was lacking, resulting in VERY slow play.

God fun

A reasonably challenging executive course. Friendly people everywhere. Pro shop inviting, food good, pace of play excellent. I hate the dips to the creeks, but that's what golf is all about. I always have fun when I play here. My handicap comes in handy.
