Great Ciurse

We played on a Saturday. Tee time was noon, we were done by 3:30. Perfect weather and course conditions. Can’t wait to come back and play.

Pros and cons

Well, to start, the pro shop guy was short and very rude to my playing partner when she asked about the restroom. And I know it’s covid and all that but some courtesy doesn’t take much effort at all really; you work at a County facility, respect the clientele.

Most of the tee boxes were fair to poor. The greens were in terrible shape from lazy and/or uneducated players, ball mark galore and there was some spotting on various parts. The one fairway bunker I found was hard pan and personally that doesn’t bother me. The fairways were in good condition. Like you see pretty much everywhere now, you’ll notice 25 handicaps playing the tips but surprisingly, the pace of play was good. Was the overall experience great? No. Am I grateful to be playing affordable and decent golf during a pandemic? Yes. We’ll leave it at that. Enjoy the walk

Course needs maintenance. Bathrooms need maintenance also. Hardly any water pressure. Sand traps need new sand.

Okay for the money

This course is poorly laid out and terribly marked. And by terribly marked I mean no markings at all. Holes are not marked, directions to next hole are unclear, so today, we actually missed a hole because we couldn’t tell where it was.

The good news is it is not a very difficult course, designed for golfers like myself that are low skilled.

Great course but the club house is a pig pen. No reason to use the virus as an excuse not to keep things picked up! That being said, I would totally play there again.

It’s a par 62- 3’s and 4’s

Plays a little slow in places, but a fun, “quick” round

Take care of this little gem

Great little executive that is very challenging! Every time I play this course I fix my ball marks and many many others. Please play this course like you own it and it will be even better for everyone. Great course that is doing everything right (even in Covid)! The employees are really great here from greenskeepers to the bartenders!!! Bravo!!! Thank you!

Great short game course

We teed off at 11:30 and finished in 3 hours 45 minutes. Great course to wok on your short game. Par 62.

Good course, great value. Great for playing a round within 3 hours most times.

The greens!

The course is kept up fairly well, but the greens are a mine field, people not fixing their divots. It’s a really good course to sharpen up your game, especially the short game. As a side note, very disappointed they were air rating the greens while we were playing and not cleaning up very well.

El cariso has deterred

no Marshall on course we had a group of 6 to 7 players drinking and partying in front of us. No care in the world that other groups were waiting. For 55$ worst time at el cariso. Definitely not going back.
