Course was in great condition - greens and bunkers

I'm impressed with the maintenance and care of this course.

The layout can be a little challenging but you need to choose the right targets to aim at. I noticed how nice the sand was in the bunkers - grainy with no loose impediments. And the greens were very smooth and even.

Incredibly slow pace

Pace of play was 6 hours. I played the front and left after 9. I understand slow play is common but on weekends someone needs to Marshall and make sure rounds aren’t 6 hours. The fairways often have long grass patches in them and I was hitting out of rough length grass in most fairways. The greens were surprisingly rolling nicely. The greens are the only decent thing about this course.

Awesome and secluded

This was a great course for the money! Love how secluded and nice the property was. I’m from the east coast so this was my first time playing in CA and this was just a pleasant round of golf. The layout was great but wasn’t too challenging and the greens were impeccable.

Mow the rough eh?

Lost a few balls just off the fairway cuz the rough could use a trim. Saw the balls land and bounce even. No find em. The fairways have some weed patches, and not the good kind. They do, however, have some good beer on tap. So there's that. With so many golf courses in the area I'll give it another shot in a few months. Did I mention the beer on tap?

Usually a nice course. It was pretty muddy with some restrictions. I’m sure it will be better next time.

This course holds up well after a lot of rain.

The course was playable after a lot of rain, unfortunately the front nine couldn’t be played with a power cart, so we ended up playing the back nine twice. It was still a great day for golf!

Good for winter

Greens are in good condition, tee boxes need some work, fairways not bad considering all the rain a couple days ago, course seems to drain pretty good. Staff is friendly and tacos after round are delicious.

Still winter conditions

Course is in okay condition. Still winter dormant grass makes for some poor lies. Grounds crew is doing a lot of work so when it does eventually warm up/green up it should be in excellent shape. The day I played we were stuck behind a very slow foursome so it was a longer round than it should have been.
