Mountain Vista Golf Club - San Gorgonio Course

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.

Also check out the sister course Santa Rosa.

Rode the Blacks (6669/71.9/128) as a single using Underpar playing behind a very slow 4some and 3some twilight. It was not uncommon for me to be on a par 3 tee box with the 3some while the 4some was still teeing off. 4H, 25M riding as a single is a VERY SLOW round.

The weather was almost 95, sunny with a little breeze. Par 35-37=72 billy Casper designed layout. I love courses that have 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.

The tees were lush and well maintained.

The fairways were lush and excellent to play from.

The rough is only over seeded close to the fairways here. The secondary rough is dormant Bermuda and is not nearly as nice/lush.

Sand traps were decently maintained with good quality sand.

The large Bermuda greens putted nice, medium fast and very firm. More undulations on these greens than the sister Santa Rosa course.

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. Not a course to walk, many holes are a long ways from the last tee. Highly recommended.

Course was in great shape. Played early morning so it was wet from overnight irrigation, but not too soft. Really a beautiful course.

Got a phenomenal rate through GolfNow, so value for money is not an issue. But, the course is beautiful, in great condition, friendly staff in pro shop, good pace of play. No beverage cart, but we were told this before we teed off. Nothing to complain about except my three-putts!

Good course lots of challenge a little hot but good condition for a desert course

Played the Blacks (6669/71.9/128) with GDR23, Larry & Paul in 4.5H early morning using Underpar. The weather was perfect, around 70 when we started and almost 95 when we finished, sunny with a little breeze.

Par 35-37 layout. I love five par 5 and five par 3 par 72 layouts. However, this one gets there in a very unique way. As long as you focus on the end result after 18 holes, you will like this layout. It could be seen as a detriment that you play four par 3's and three par 5's on the front with only two par 4's. The back plays 871 yards longer than the front from the tips because of this anomaly. Better score on the front, because the back plays LONG @ 3770 yards.

The tees were lush and well maintained.

The fairways were lush, almost always had excellent lies.

The rough is only over seeded close to the fairways here. The secondary rough is dormant bermuda and is not nearly as nice/lush.

Sand traps were nicely maintained with good quality sand.

The greens putted nice, medium speed and firm. No tiers or tricked up mounds to navigate, but many of the greens are large, It was not unusual for someone in the group to have a 50-75' putt.

Really enjoyed this course. 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. Not a course to walk, many holes are a long ways from the last tee.
