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!!!!

I enjoyed the "short" 62 par round of golf!

I had a good time by myself today.

It went smooth without much wait at all!

They have been cleaning off some to the gees poop around the course too!

I will be back soon to to play :-)

Should be better

This is a great course for beginners but can be discouraging due to the lack of course maintenance. Fairway is decent but the greens and the outter grass needs to be better maintained. The grass is so big that you easily can lose your ball even if you miss the fairway by a foot. Other than that course is good.

Good course. Pricey for its condition.

Good course. Good mix of driver and iron holes. The course needs maintenance and hole numbers. This course has lots of potential. It’s a little pricey for its condition. Cart fee puts it over the top especially when you need to return them by 7:30. It’s not even sunset yet. There is walking option too.

Odd time

Only played here once before but decided to give it another shot. Employee was alone is the pro shop on his first day. Not his fault, he was nice but it was brutal. No carts so we needed push carts but they gave the last two good ones to walk ons who should have started after us but ended up going before us, because we started 15 mins late because of the pro shop. The push carts we got were falling apart all day. Zero course layout, no signage anywhere. Couple cool holes but I’m not gonna play here again.

Needs Care

The course has no numbering. The greens need cleaning. The grass is extremely long and tall. The carts break down, they are not charged so you can keep the cart thru 9 or 18 holes.

3 1/2h, 62 par course with diversity of holes with serene views!

I like this course and try to come as often as I can.

It was very difficult to find the balls in the fairways today! It was not cut and the flowers makes it tough to find the balls.

It was allot of geese poop and feathers on hole 16.

It was extra expensive since it was Memorial Day so I wish it was in a better shape.

Hopeful this is taken care of for my next round ;-)

Typical county course

Understaffed. Nice enough people but not enough of them. Had a guy on his first day, alone in the pro shop. Ran out of carts. They gave us pushcarts that had to be put back together after every bump. Absolutely no signage so grab a map. Some of the greens were laughably bad.

Fun short 18hole course

I’ve played El Caruso. many times. It’s , fun, challenging, and pretty well maintained. Practice putting and chipping greens are good and driving range mats are newer. The employees are very nice.

Too expensive for Course

Course had very few carts. Rough was way to tall! So if you didn’t hit fairway your ball was good as lost! Greens were airated so nothing you can do about that. Tee boxes are not numbered so have fun on your adventure maneuvering around course

DUMP!!

This course has potential but not maintained well.

The pro shop looks like an abandoned haunted house. The perimeter fence along the parking lot is not inviting and tells you the place is dilapidated right away. The ramped entrance has the feeling of a very cheap place and it is exactly what the place is. T box signs are confusing and most noticeable is the male person at the pro shop (not Alex, Alex is very nice) who is very mean and acted like he's running a military facility. Never I will go back there again!
