More Than An Executive

I live on an Executive golf course. This course is one step above. Plenty of spots to use a driver if you're 75 years old like me. Very challenging. Great bar, restaurant, and other amenities. I'll play here again.

Pretty good

Just wish the had a driving range or doing nets to warm up. Other than that, nice place.

A lovely course for relaxing golf, some off-course improvements would be nice

Mostly in good condition, this is a lovely course for relaxing golf. Usually slow play.

No warm-up area on-site, and no warm-up nets, a pity.

The toilets are accessed by walking through the restaurant tables - not particularly good for anyone dining!

Lovely people in the pro/check-in area.

Fantastic Greens

They over seeded the course 9/3 and it is coming back nicely. The greens were in very good shape. Great executive course

My only wish would be that because I am a senior woman and unable to play 18 holes, but have to pay for 18, there would be a cost break for me, otherwise I enjoy the course very much

Not Playing Again - Bye

My buddy got called out by Ted, the manager, for not wearing a collared shirt and Ted checked my cooler (only water is authorized). We've played throughout Southern California and this is the first time the cooler became an issue. Supposedly they renovated the course but it is so-so. The hole markers are on the opposite side of the tee boxes (as opposed to the same side) making it somewhat confusing which hole you are teeing off for. Overall rating, meh, never coming back.

An Executive Course in Need of TLC

This could be a great course to work on your iron play, but due to a lack of watering (except on the greens) the fairways were in rough shape, with lots of dead grass, dirt and unwieldy sand traps. Yes it's Summer, but we are no longer in a drought, so water the grass. The course has a lot of up & down holes, many are very interesting in layout, but due to course conditions, it's not worth another round. Maybe in the Spring when storms bring in the needed rains to bring this course back to life.

Good value for walking

Greens were pretty good. Rolled well.

Pretty dry fairways but expected.

Good walking course with undulations.

Walking helps with not waiting on every hole/shot.

Summer brown has begun

Over the years, they have tried so hard to make this course conditions better. The fairways on one and two are abysmal. Weeds, poor drainage, 47 different kinds of grass, fungus and just plain caca. There should be a little instruction by starter about pace of play, but considering the price and the executive nature of the course you get all the riffraff. The good things are, the restaurant is excellent, it is expensive to play and local, you can usually get a last-minute teatime on Golf Now or in person. The staff is always wonderful. Okay, rant over. Play fast,

People, and MOVE ON!! Buy some Kirkland balls and LET IT GOOOO 🎵!!!
