This 62 par, 3,5hour Course is a gem!

I live coming here as often as I can. If you looking for par 5’s, this course is not for you. It’s fairly challenging and have some very cool holes.The staff is super nice too, so I will be back soon!

For the once that don’t want to spend 5 hours on the course!

This is a great course and love to come as often as I can to play. It takes about 3 1/2 hours to play and is a course with par 4’s and par 3’s. I find it challenging but fun. Hole number 11 is always fun ;-)

The course is in fairly good condition. Hopefully they can keep it that way with the water restrictions!

I met a nice guy there and played the back 9 together :-)

Will be back soon to play!

Quick and open

The course is a fun layout. Nothing to hard about it! The grass is rough though! Lots of dead spots and crab grass.

Overall good experience

It’s a fun course to play. The pro shop needs some work. The golf carts need some love as well. Stay away from the tall grass in front of the green on 14!!!

Hot

Our first time at this course and it’s was really fun. We had a duo in front of us who didn’t know, or, didn’t care about the pace of play(it looked like a lesson). They held us, the foursome behind us, for 2 holes. We called the office and they quickly realized the issue. The course is challenging and fun.

Hidden gem

This short course is all I need. Got an early tee time and I was done in two hours since the one group in front of me let me play through. The biggest negative is the lack of signage at the tee boxes indicating what hole your on.

I really love playing this course, fairways and greens are well kept. The Small Ponds/Lakes should be filled and kept clean...

Below average course conditions

Definitely minimal maintenance done on this course. Most of the grass is brown and dying and there are sections of the fairway that look like light rough. Greens kinda the same thing. The holes have no markers which is a little weird so you have to keep looking to the score card for yardages off the tee. I guess it’s fairly cheap for a round so should be expected but I’m sure there’s better course for that price. I did like it as someone who isn’t great because they are shorter holes.

El cariso tee time

Terrible golf course. When we got there we wish we could get a refund. They had no cart barn staff and course conditions were so terrible. No grass greens were soaked. Maintenance guy was just standing there dumping water and creating big puddles on every green. Never will play here again. Wish there was a refund button!!!!
