Mountain Vista Golf Club - San Gorgonio Course

Rode the Blacks (6669/71.9/128) using Forelinx. Matched up with Steve, Stew and Alan, 3 nice seniors. POP was 4H, 15M playing in calm, sunny conditions in the low 90's.

The customer service was good as usual here. Drink cart out making the rounds. No driving range onsite, you have to go 1/2 mile down the street where the sister Santa Rosa course has a nice, all grass driving range. No GPS on the basic carts or ports for electronics.

The Bermuda tees were mostly lush and well maintained.

The Bermuda fairways are mostly lush and nice to play from.

The Bermuda rough is mostly lush. Even though cut low, it is thick and will impede your balls momentum and cost you alot of yardage on longer shots. Great POP rough.

The sand traps had excellent quality white sand and were well maintained.

The large Bermuda greens putted medium fast speed and are very firm.

Billy Casper design. Numerous well spaced tees and it's a good test for players of all skill levels. Nice balance in play ability and difficulty. Currently the course is 10 days from closing for fall over seeding and they are drying it out. It plays very firm right now. Recommended, one of the better values in the Palm Springs area.

Everything was great except a stone-faced course marshal who hovered for no reason. The staff in the pro shop was similarly un-welcoming for no reason! Sort of weird actually. The course itself was fine and enjoyable.

Play here at least 12 times a year. It’s always in great shape, with very nice greens.

Each time through the Desert we try to find some new courses for the non-scratch duffers like us. My wife and I are summer-only golfers and we're just finding our legs these first rounds. Tried this layout and we were very pleasantly surprised. The weather was expected to be hot, but it stayed reasonable through much of the round. Made it around in under three hours. The course is very forgiving for our game. The few we ran into were gracious and friendly. We'll be back.

While busy and a bit slow the course was in great shape, especially for June. We enjoyed the round and found this course to be challenging but not as much as Santa Rosa. Forgiving fairways and beautiful scenery.

This course was in great shape. Even with being freshly punched it played well and greens were great! We can’t wait to play it again.

Been awhile since I have played in wind like this. It was down to a semi manageable 20+ mph on the back. However, I was hitting 4-5 extra clubs on the front playing into the wind, and was coming up laughably short. Averaging over 300 yard drives downwind, not much over 200 yard drives into the wind. I would guess the gusts were in the 40 mph range, everything from my hat to my head covers went flying down the fairway multiple times.

The course is still in nice condition, but is drying out with the hotter, windier weather. Course conditions were a notch below what I experience last weekend here.

The rough is very lush and thick but not overly high. Just deep enough for the ball to often sit down.

The large greens putted nice, medium fast speed and are firm. #18 has one of the deepest greens I have ever played or even seen. Hi-lite of my round was 2 putting from the very front up the tier to the very back. I paced it off at 140'.
