Nice executive course

We happened to play shortly after the greens were plugged and sanded. Setting that aside the course was in good shape. Pace was a tad slower than normal. The staff was fantastic from the bar to the pro-shop to the maintenance staff. Playing again this week.

Course Conditions

Hello, I normally don’t say much however this round was terrible. The course was ok however the greens were atrocious. Super sandy due to assumably recently aeration. This was NOT disclosed..at all. No Marshall to get us all situated. Super disaster to start. Which lead to extremely slow pace. Tee time was 11:39 but we didn’t start till almost 12:00. This is a super fun course however this round was exceptionally horrible.

The condition of the whole course is worse.

The condition of the whole course is worse. Obviously, This course is not ready to use yet. They don’t even have a number to show you which holes. Very terrible course, if this will be my first time trying course, I will give up this sport.

Not for serious golfers, it was more for beginners

I have seen it busier, so my expectations were "Okay it will not be a 5 hour round for less than 6000 yards." I was wrong, the group I was with was paired with was the issue. Spending time at the range and looking at the rules is every golfers responsibility, and if you can't get off the tee at least keep quiet while others are over the ball. Don't drive up to the green unless you're handicap, etc....I just left after 9 holes, it was like a circus nearly 3 hour into it and I refuse to play 6 hours unless I'mcoming in at PEBBLE. I would recommend a par 3 course for them, and this course is all theirs.

Can Always get out for a low key round

Fun , shorter track but todays round was met with many greens with large sand patches at the edges. These were not maintenance/sanding but clearly a disease that has been removed and sanded over. Greens and cup cuts try to keep play away from these damaged areas.

Not worth the rack rate 47$ , as it plays now but if you get a deal and want to get out it is still a fun place to play.

Great customer service

Man, where do I start? I had such a great time at this course (the people I was paired up with have much to do with it) but what really made my experience perfect was Anne! She was so helpful and set the standard for the type of customer service that should be provided to golfers at any level. Her kind greeting and helpful demeanor made my visit amazing. Her hospitality has yet to be matched in my experience at other courses. I highly recommend playing at el Cariso!

Great value!

The course is in good condition. Like most courses, a few green and bunkers need attention but overall it's a great value. Getting a tee time is usually not a problem, especially when it's over 100 degrees!

Good but very slow

I love this course. I’ve played here many times. Unfortunately yesterday we were three deep on a Teebox kind of took the fun out of it.
