Had problems with cart on superbowl Sunday, but when all was settled, the staff went above the level of expectations, they were shorthanded, but still exceeded, can't wait to come back.

Great Course

This was our first time at the course and it has become one of our favorites in Temecula Valley. As others have stated, they are working on the course with the repair of sand bunkers. We golfed on a Sunday and the course was pretty busy as expected for the weekend. It took us 4 hours and 45 minutes to complete 18 rounds. Highly recommend this course!

Enjoyable

The course was in reasonable condition given the winter in CA and that it's only mid-Feb. Greens are very good. As noted elsewhere, the bunkers are being upgraded, so just stay out of them, haha. We played at 745 and were round in 4 hrs for the of us. Place of play was great.

It's a very good test of golf. Thoroughly enjoyable and I'll pay it again for sure

Waste of time and money

I was never informed that 90% of the bunkers were being worked on. You had marshals roaming the course but I couldn’t figure out what they were doing. They sure didn’t do their job with making sure all of the golfers played at a decent pace. We teed off at 10:30 am and six hours later we finished our round. I caught glimpses of this course being really nice at o e time but it’s on the verge of becoming a goat track.

Resurrected

First I have to commend the new owner, maintenance crew, staff and the new superintendent for making this golf course come back to life. I have not played this course for years due to overall bad conditions. Recently I’ve heard a lot of changes and some good reviews on this golf course so I booked a game to see if what most people say is true. This weekend was an eye opener for me, I could not describe what I was seeing the entire 18 holes. The word is ( RESURRECTED! ) the golf course came back to life as I described it in the beginning. I have lived in the area for many years and always played at Temecula Creek, RedHawk and Journey at Pechanga. Now I can say this new reincarnated golf course is in my all time favorite. Thank you and keep up the good work.
