Mountain Vista Golf Club - San Gorgonio Course

Greens are as good as they get. Very very difficult to read with lots of undulation. But in fantastic shape. A pleasure to play on them.

This was our first time playing this course. We had read on Golf Now that if you want to use the driving range you need too go to the other course at Sun City first. We did that but it was really somewhat of a pain. We waited hoping someone would give us a cart but it appeared nobody was working the bag drop so we schlepped our clubs to the range. We had to buy 2 buckets of balls ($4/small bucket) and we warmed up. Then we had to carry our bags all the way back to the car and drive to the course we were playing. It seemed to be a bit of a mad house with dozens of people and a long line to check in. Turned out we were in a shotgun start where everyone would tee off at 1 pm from different holes. We teed off on 2 with a couple of very nice guys. The group directly in front was somewhat slow, but we were happy to finish the round in 4.5 hours (before dark - yay!). The biggest frustration was the speed of the greens. It seemed nearly impossible to hold the green with a shot from the fairway. Definitely a challenge; but overall the course was in good shape and we enjoyed out round.

Good track, great shape, could use some hard liquor on the beer cart!

Fairways are wide and well maintained. Just enough hazards to deal with but otherwise reasonable lay out. Did not lose any ball and shot within my 14 handicap- not bad for first time playing this course.

Very freindly staff and informative.

The pace of play was a little slow but overall it was a great experience.

The greens were very nice and the fairways in excellent condition.

Would recomend to anyone

The course is very well-maintained. Very enjoyable round . I will definitely be back to play again.

Was quite surprised when we got there that there was no range, no food or beverage at the course and that there was no beverage cart on the course. The course itself was in good shape but the "clubhouse (starter shack)" was a waste of time.

What a great fun course, great shape, bunkers, water, doglegs, and fast play. My wife and I can’t wait to get back there to play again.

Nice course. Pace of play was 4 1/2 hours. No marshals visible.

Conditions were good. Greens were undulating and fairways tee boxes were in fine condition

Rode the Blacks (6669/71.9/128) using Forelinx in 4H twilight, barely finishing before darkness. Was matched up with Roger, Luch and Bernardo as part of a twilight shot gun start. The weather was around 70 and sunny with a little breeze.

The course looks immaculate after over seeding. No GPS on the basic carts, no drink cart. Marshall out patrolling trying to enforce POP.

The tees were lush and well maintained.

The fairways were lush and excellent to play from.

The rough is just high enough to grab a longer club.

The sand traps were nicely maintained with good quality sand.

The large greens had a light top dressing, but still putted nice. Medium fast and firm.

Excellent variety of holes. Par 35-37=72 Billy Casper designed layout with five par 5's and five par 3's. The back plays 871 yards longer from the tips and has many more par 4's than the front because the front is stacked with par 3's. Better score on the front, because the back plays LONG @ 3770 yards. Some forced carries and water comes into play on many holes. However, generous landing areas would make it a good choice for players of all skill levels. Not a course to walk, many holes are a hike from the last green. Recommended.

The course was in excellent condition and enjoyable to play. Challenging holes but fairways wide enough so houses not an issue for errant shots. Staff were friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed playing this course. If you want to use the practice range you must stop at the Santa Rosa club house first which you pass on your way to San Gorgonio.

Course and staff very nice. Typical gated community course. No cart girl during the week only on weekends. Place of play a little slow due to cart path only.

Pro shop guy was nice when we got there, but rude when I was asking him about the way the payment structure works with GolfNow and my particular tee time today. He refused to help me figure out simple math to pay the remaining balance of the green fees there and would not let me split the remaining balance into two separate payments. And then immediately started blaming GolfNow and told me to "go take it up with golf now." I love the course and have played there several times. Just don't know how soon I will be going back after that

Rode the Blacks (6669/71.9/128) with 140ver in 3.5H mid day. The weather was clear, calm and in the low 100's when we were finishing around 3p.

The Bermuda tees were lush and well maintained.

The Bermuda fairways are lush and have a nice cushion, they are very nice to play from.

The Bermuda rough is lush and just deep enough to make the ball sit down.

The sand traps were decently maintained with good quality sand.

The large Bermuda greens putted nice, medium speed and firm.

Par 35-37=72 layout with five par 5's and five par 3's. The front is stacked with par 3's, 4 of your first 8 holes are par 3's. The back 9 averages almost 420 per hole from the Blacks, it plays long.

Not a course to walk, many holes are a long ways from the last tee. No GPS on the basic carts. Generous landing areas and the difficulty factor would make it a good choice for players of all skill levels. Some forced carries and water comes into play on many holes. The customer service was good but limited. No drink cart today. Definitely recommended.

Rode the Blacks (6669/71.9/128) as a single in 3H mid day. Basically had the course to myself under partly cloudy skies and 108 degree temps. Considering how many straight days the temp has been 100+ locally, this course is in phenomenal shape! Par 35-37=72 layout with five par 5's and five par 3's. The front is stacked with par 3's, 4 of your first 8 holes are par 3's. Generous landing areas and the difficulty factor would make it a good choice for players of all skill levels. Some forced carries and water comes into play on many holes, but moving up a tee(s) could negate that for shorter hitters. The Bermuda tees were lush and well maintained. The lush Bermuda fairways were some of the best fairways I have played from in awhile. nice cushion, the ball sat up like it was on a tee. The Bermuda rough is lush and just deep enough to make the ball sit down. The sand traps were decently maintained with good quality sand. The large Bermuda greens putted nice, medium speed and very firm. More undulations on these greens than the sister Santa Rosa course. The customer service was good but limited. No drink cart today. Not a course to walk, many holes are a long ways from the last tee. No GPS on the basic carts. Definitely recommended.

The greens were a little rough from being plugged recently, (normal this time of year) but still not bad. As usual, the course was in pretty much pristine condition.

Booked an early tee time because we had a plane to catch. Played the front nine in an hour and a quarter. Got to ten and found out they send members off ten until 8:30. Followed a foursome for the whole back nine. We were on the same tee box as them four times. Never waved us through. Took 2 hours and 20 minutes to play the back nine. If we were told would have booked somewhere else.

Always green and well manicured. They keep the course well watered so greens don’t dry out later in the day making play so much more enjoyable compared to some courses where the greens are like concrete this time of year. Bargains are available later in the day and Pro Shop staff are friendly and helpful. Only downside is a lack of services (food and beverage) on course. Otherwise a very good experience.
