Back up on 10! Photo submitted by CTGRANDIN on 12/31/2012
Perfect Round
I played here three years ago. The course was not in good shape. Recently I heard they did some modifications to the course. I checked it out with my brother. The course is so much better, especially the greens. The fairway was beautiful as well, much more pleasing to the eyes. I will certainly come back. We had a great time!
TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT
The ownership here is CLUELESS when it comes to customer service! The send out rates and quote them when tee times are made THEN charge more once you get to the course!!! I've written this place off before and always decide to giver it another chance BUT today is it. The course is in okay condition but DEWEY in the pro shop and their grounds crew and LACKING in customer service skills. The grounds crew turned on their sprinkler system when we were getting ready to hit our approach shots in on hole 11 and let them run for a good five minutes!! WHO does this?? I've had similar experiences here in the past but will not anymore! Definitely avoid this place!!!
Shame this course has gone way down hill
When this course re-opened back in the mid 80's and while the SCGA owned it, this place was awesome to play. Great fairways, tough but lush rough and great greens. Since the SCGA sold/left, this course has gone down hill. Played it today, and though it was rainy misty conditions, we all were very disappointed at the shape it is in. The fairways are very spotty, mostly some grass mixed with mowed weeds, bumpy. Hit what you think is a good drive in the middle of the fairway only to find it sitting down in a grassless hole, more often than not. The once lush rough is a joke now, mostly there is no grass and find yourself hitting off dirt or in a hole. The greens are fine, in most cases smooth, and though they were wet today, rolled out nicely. But we dont pay green fees just to putt. Money seems to be being spent on tee boxes or land scaping and such but nothing on the main part of the golf course, the fairways. With the rain So Cal had this past winter, there is absolutely no excuse for cruddy fairways. While most other golf courses in the area have flourished with the rain, this place obviously doesnt overseed anymore or do anything to improve the conditions of the fairways. Local Rule should be lift clean and place with the shape the fairways are in. But when you have to play it down, it's virtually impossible to get a clean shot out of most of the lies you get in these fairways.
Thank you for taking the time to review us! We are sorry to see that you did not fully enjoy your time with us. We are always looking to improve, so we appreciate you taking the time to give us some feedback. We hope to have you back in the future.
Total agreement
Great Greens
The greens were fantastic. The rest of the course was a little spotty but acceptable. The staff was a little bit rude and not very accommodating. We had a 645 teatime and the range didn’t open until around seven. I like to hit a few shots before I go out cold.
bad golf great golf day.
You could not have asked for better conditions. The staff was friendly, the greens were fast, but consistent. The weather was perfect. Unfortunately, I played my worse round in 2 years.
SCGA is always good
A great layout, challenging course. Greens were fast and smooth.
Always impressed
Been playing this course for years and have always been happy with the condition of this course. If there is one thing i would comment on, it is the fact they charge for a rider who is not golfing and didnt require an additional cart but just a passenger was 15 bucks.
Nice day
The course overall is in good condition the greens are great the only problem is there is no sand in the bunkers most of them and the rough needs to be cut it has grown wild since the rains and you can very easily lose balls just off the fairway because of it but overall nice day
another day
the weather was perfect. the company was great. the greens were great. the fairways were great. The rough needed to be cut. Unfortunately, I had an emergency and cut my round short.
A TESTER OF YOUR ABILITY
This course is a test for sure greens are fast with lots of breaks overall the course is in great shape even with all the rain they have had
Nice course
Prefer this course to any of the others in the area. Staff always friendly.....
Pace of play below avg
I play here 2 to 3 times a month. I normally get rd in less then 4 hours but today was 5 hours. Pace of play was bad the first 9. Pick up on the back 9. I think the course is under new management. The staff is great and friendly. Course is in great condition even with all rain.
Course in good shape; Staff was great
I had my doubts about this course based on reviews I read, particularly related to unfriendly and non caring staff. My experience was exactly opposite. The staff was great ( check in desk, Marshall’s) and the grounds crew was very conscientiuos . I really enjoyed the course layout and it was in great condition for this time of year. The greens were well cared for and very few bare spots in fairways. Will definitely play here again
The course was in great shape and the greens weee fast. The coarse was mostly empty.
It was. Good day to play golf. Since it was supposed to rain in the am. Very few players were in the course. I was able to start early and did not have to wait for anyone. Played as a single. Conditions were great. Course was green and greens were fast. Challenging but fun! I will play here again!
Frosty mornings
Course is great, always fun when I come down & play it. We did have a Frost Delay this morning which is no fault of the course. Layout is great and challenging, large greens that ran very quick and smooth. We went back to front which was okay, but I like the traditional way better. Wish they ran the cart person on weekdays but that’s not my call. Good rate right now for the Winter months.
Very picturesque course
Great layout of course,mixture of wide and narrow fairways meaning you have to think your way round,stunning views and good condition
