Mountain Vista Golf Club - San Gorgonio Course

Course was in good shape tee to green. Great day other then the wind picking up on the back 9. Definitely worth the green fee for this time of year

Sun City does not recognize San Gorgonio for Golf Now. We had to play the Santa Rosa course. They said this is a common mistake made by Golf Now.

Drove out from Inland Empire to Palm Desert today to play Mountain Vista. Used the Underpar deal to play both courses with the replay, arrived 20 min before my scheduled time checked in with my first grumpy gentleman who basically scolded me for paying with the voucher, given no directions to anywhere.. first tee, really nothing.

Drove to first tee 10 min early & the 2 players I was paired with had already hit & were about to leave the tee, I scrambled quickly to get going, the round was wonderful the two young men were very nice & we all had a good time sharing stories. Post round both myself & the other two young men park our carts close to the restaurant/Pro Shop & then get scolded by the next Grumpy gentleman about where we have our carts basically telling us in a forceful manner that we needed to move. I go inside the San G Pro Shop to ask about the replay & was met with the next Grumpy Gentleman who said “You need to go to the Santa Rosa Clubhouse, we don’t do replays here” I have to say this place is absolutely beautiful, big beautiful fairways, greens are excellent & course was in top shape, I then go to Santa Rosa Clubhouse & greeted by the next Grumpy Gentleman who basically informs me that there is probably no way I can play around round they are completely booked, mind you I looked up what times were available on their own website & they had plenty. So I took the hint, I was not wanted on their course or in their community, so no replay & I left to travel back on my hour plus ride home very disappointed.

So unorganized holy smokes. Go to one course for our tee time and they tell us that we are on another course. Go there and no tee time so starter shoots us out on hole 10 only to be ripped on by the guys behind us. No scorecard.

Course is unreal though. Great grass and greens. If you can figure out your tee times then it’s 10/10

Rode the Blacks (6669/71.9/128) 12/29 with GDR23 in 3H, 40M mid day. Seemed alot longer, we waited almost every shot on 3somes in front of us. 60's, sunny and breezy. Conditions were VERY lush, almost immaculate across the board. Tees extremely lush and well maintained with few unfixed divots. Fairways lush and very nice to play from. Rough is 2-3", lush and thick. Sand traps have high quality white marble sand and are among the best I play anywhere. Large greens are firm/smooth and putted medium fast speed. No GPS on the basic carts or ports for electronics. No driving range, you have to go 1/2 mile down the street where the sister Santa Rosa course has a nice, all grass driving range. No on course services with COVID. Very unusual that they let us drive our morning round carts from Santa Rosa 1/2 mile down surface streets to San Gorgonio. Highly recommended, best conditioned course I have played in the Palm Springs area this year.

Fairways and green were in really good shape. Like the very wide fairways and grass limed bunkers.

Course is in magnificent condition. Played early AM pace was good.

Friendly course with wide fairways and few sand bunkers make it a friendly course to play for all levels of skill

Rode the Blacks (6669/71.9/128) for 36 holes using UP. Less than 2.5H POP as a single first out. Then around 4H POP with Gary and Scott mid day, very nice guys to get matched up with. 70's, sunny and windy.

Customer service usually exceptional here, but today was a cluster. San Gorgonio Pro Shop closed, so they have you check in @ MV Santa Rosa 1/2 mile away. Would have been nice to have been advised of that beforehand, especially with it being prepaid? After the morning round, had to drive back to Santa Rosa to check in for the replay round. Was told even though several holes were vacant, could not play Santa Rosa because "X" hours were booked exclusively for men's club play. So drove back to San Gorgonio for 18 more.

Tees lush and well maintained with few unfixed divots.

Fairways lush and very nice to play from.

Rough is 2-3", lush and thick.

Sand traps have high quality white marble sand and were excellent.

Large over seeded greens are firm/smooth and putt medium fast speed.

No GPS on the basic carts or ports for electronics. No driving range, you have to go 1/2 mile down the street where the sister Santa Rosa course has a nice, all grass driving range. No on course services with COVID.

Conditions were VERY lush, almost immaculate across the board. Highly recommended.

What I reserved was at San Gorgonio course. But the starter told me Golf now had a mistake and reserved at Santa Rosa course.

So I played at Santa Rosa Course.

The problem was the starter was unfriendly, impolite and didn't explain clearly.

The course was great but not the starter.

Greens and fairways in excellent shape. Course easy to navigate with wide fairways

Rode the Blacks (6669/71.9/128) in less than 2.5H as a single first out. Chilly when teeing off, but sunny and calm conditions that warmed up to the low 60's when finishing.

Tees were lush and well maintained with few unfixed divots.

Fairways mostly lush and very nice to play from. Firm and mowed low enough that the ball doesn't sit up like on a tee, you have to make clean strikes.

Rough is 2-3", lush and thick.

Sand traps have high quality white marble sand and were excellent. Some of the best maintained traps I encounter anywhere.

Large over seeded greens are firm, so expect some runout. Medium fast speed and smooth.

No GPS on the basic carts or ports for electronics. No driving range, you have to go 1/2 mile down the street where the sister Santa Rosa course has a nice, all grass driving range. Customer service always ++ here. No on course services with COVID.

Billy Casper design that is mostly flat with few elevation changes. Numerous well spaced tees, it's a good test for players of all skill levels. Nice balance in play ability and difficulty with some forced carries on tee shots over lakes from the back tees.

If you want to play a course(s) right now economically with social distancing in place, the two Mountain Vista's are about as good as it gets. Have played 54 holes here this week in plush conditions and was within a hole of another golfer maybe 4 of the 54 holes? Almost more maintenance workers than golfers. Highly recommended.

Approaches to the greens are unfair and overly protected

Nice course however cart path only never good for pace of play.

The course was fantastic! Very sad the cart girl left @ 1:00. The Marshall's were old, unfriendly, lazy and rude! Get someone that's people-friendly with some personality!

Poorly organized ,could have been sent out earlier.no player’s on the course yet made us wait and put three foursomes out in front of our twosomes.course on the other hand really well maintained Fairway, greens are nice
