Great day!!

The course was in good shape. It played long due to the cold weather if that makes sense but it was overall a good experience. The bunkers were the best I've played in a while unfortunately, i was in a few! LOL!! but I still had a great day to say the least. Greens were receptive but fast, fairways were decent. This is a solid course to play and totally worth the value!

will not return

Had an 8:35 tee time & it took 3 hours to get through 9 holes. We had to wait 5-10 minutes on every tee box and fairway. There was no marshall in sight maintaining the pace of play. Our group decided to leave at the turn and they were unwilling to do anything for us and completely unapologetic. There was “no club manager” or any information on when they would be there. The young girl working the pro shop on 11/3/24 was extremely rude and unprofessional, even at check in. Will NOT be returning

Challenging but fair

I enjoy this course and layout. Not surprising considering the designer also designed Oakmont CC and Spyglass. The conditions are improving with the cooler weather. Bunkers are first rate with white sand. The fairway bunkers lack the soft white sand but it’s not really needed as these shots should be hit ball first. A few of the fairways are rougher than others but improving. Looking forward to playing again.

Beautiful Course, but Needs Some Work

Beautiful course and views. It’s a challenging layout, but is in need of work. Many of the tee boxes had only one tee marker for the white tees. Lots of dried brown grass on the back nine and dried ponds that looked disgusting (maybe hole 16 or 17). Some bunkers had fluffy white sand, while others appear to have dirt. One bunker had a very thin layer of white sand in it. Lots of muddy areas and water flooding he cart path. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Overrated

This is not a 4star course: the fairways were not well maintained re: bare patches, weedy areas, and uncut patches. Tee boxes were same and some uneven. Pace was horrendously slow (4:30) because on the Par 4 3rd t-box 3 groups waited with one group on fairway…all because groundskeeping decided to water the entire hole during a very packed course/round. That watering held up play for 30 min and backed up the whole day (very incompetent grounds person or poor watering philosophy). It was very hot this day and drinking water was scarce…..water jugs that were available tasted horrible (as if it had been in the dispenser jugs for multiple days or the jugs were unclean inside).

Great Course in Murrieta

Challenging layout and the staff are working on many improvements to the course. A few areas were a bit soft due to overseeding efforts and the unusually hot weather recently, but still an excellent experience and a good value for this part of SoCal. The staff have always been friendly and helpful. They also have an excellent practice facility.
