The course was in good shape the greens a little bumpy my biggest complaint is it took me more than 30 minutes to get into the gate. And nobody cares about how long it takes so I missed my teatime by 10 minutes.

Lovely course, unwelcoming staff

I joined a shotgun start of mostly members and had a great day on the course. The greens didn't seem to run true, but the course is in very good condition. It was a very enjoyable experience except for our check-in as the staff made me feel as if I was imposing on their day. Best thing was we finished the round in 4 hours and the weather was perfect.

San Gorgonio Greens NO Good

Very bad greens. Brown grass, divot marks on all greens. Pack down sand bunkers.

No on course food or drinks. Unfriendly golf shop staffs. No cart and golf bag service.

Good Driving range.

Well Maintained Course

Booked a 1 pm tee time through GolfNow, but didn’t realize it was a shotgun start, which was OK. The tee boxes and fairways were in great shape, but the greens had recently been dressed and were quite dry when we started the round. By the time we finished the round, the greens were completely brown, and did not roll good at all. We enjoyed the course, but the condition on the greens were a negative for us.

Nice place and people but

I forgot my water bottle, then I missed the first water station, no place to get food or water after nine. I'm getting parched! Come to the next and last water station, no cups or water. Was starving and parched when I finished at 2pm. 75 degrees today. I hope other first timers here see this post so they can pack a lunch and bring plenty of fluids. Besides that it was a very present day.

Fun Course

Super fun and moderately challenging layout. Fairways are wide and easy to hit. Greens were in excellent condition. Not a lot of amenities...no water provided on the course and no GPS in the carts. I would definitely play again while in the area.

Great staff and easy to play course

The staff ( fashionable and cool lady) was so great

One of my friend’s brother passed away when we were there and had to leave the course.

So we were back to the starter and sent him home and asked the lady at the starter to see if we can play for the start.

She kindly accommodated us to play from the start.

Very friendly and courteous.

Highly respectful lady.

I will recommend to all my friends and will go again and play.

The course layout is good to great. And easy to play.

Greatly maintained course.

SNEAKY

Woman who checked us in was downright nasty.

Didn't realize until we signed in that it was a shotgun start. We were on Hole 6B, so the start time was actually later than the 1:00 p.m. tee time we paid for.

Lots of stress worrying whether we would finish in time.

They should have disclosed the 'shotgun' situation.

first time playing

The course had two holes, #10 and #13 that were unplayable due to flood damage near the greens. I called the course directly prior to making my reservation and asked if the course was completely open as other courses in the area had flood damage from the recent rains. The attendant stated it was completely open. The yardages were difficult to judge as the only markers were on the cart paths and usually fairly far from the middle of the fairways. The carts had no GPS to assist. make sure you take a range finder with you that also measures slope. Would love to play it again under better conditions.

11 am was the only available start time. It turned out to be a shotgun start. The course was in great condition. FYI, the range is at the Santa Rosa course. The greens may look better in spring but rolled true and fast.
