Great combination of par 3s

Some long par 3s and short ones that are have many sand traps. They have 7 very challenging par 4s. Took only 3 1/4 hours to play with a slower 4some a head of us. Fairways were firm and green. Greens were average. All the staff were very pleasant with us.

Need marshals not water jockies

On a whim it's works for a last minute tee time don't expect to finish anytime soon. A place where novice go to play. I have had numerous conversations with personal as to why no (ambassadors) are out making sure people fix there divots on the green. Response being well they payed for the round we can't do anything about it. If they put a marshal on the first two holes to monitor the play they could easily rid the new golfers of some bad habits, and speed up play. Play it forward posted everywhere but being the honor system and no one to implement the concept.

Take it for what it is worth

Vista Valencia is an executive course (par 61) and it is cheap. I think they do a decent job maintaining it for what it is.

If you know how to play at all the pace of play and the way the staff faces with you will be frustrating. Becuase they have beginners on the course, they will tell you to repair your ball marks etc. Some of the guys in the pro shop need to relax. They tend to treat the players like children (many of them are chldren). They need to move slower players along.

Beware the driving range is often closed in the morning.

Much more than I expected

I don't usually play executive courses but I'm glad I gave this one a shot. Nice place to get a quick practice round in, our twosome finished in under 3 hours. Some long par 4's and numerous approaches into elevated greens made things more interesting and challenging. Fairways were in good shape, greens were in really good shape. Beautiful par 3 #17 onto island green will make you think of TPC Sawgrass. Will play again.

If you have not played Vista in a while , check it out !

This course has improved significantly, in both the overall condition, value and pace of play. We played at 1pm and payed 23$ each with cart ! The staff is friendly and courteous. In addition they had a marshall refilling water bottles for players from his cart. This course gets an insane amount of play, due to the rates, and the use it gets from the local high school programs, and camps, which makes the conditions impressive. Great place for beginners, and women.

Right price for the course

Executive course with a handful of very short par 3s. Pace of play was great and the course was in pretty good shape. Great deal for a Sunday afternoon at a local golf course.

Fairways getting green, and so are the lakes

Live 1.5 miles from this course. Have played it at least 100 times.

Fairways are in good condition this time of year, but they do not keep fairways green during winter/early spring months and you will be hitting off dirt or dormant brown grass.

Lots of water around the course....and it is disgusting! Off a few holes, there can be a strong stench. Water is green from either alge or duck droppings. Most of the time, there is no water movement to help circulate. So sad considering the water could be a nice visual addition to this course. The picture of this course shows their island green. Water NOT like what is shown. I hope this review spurs Vista to do something, but I can bet they hear this complaint on a daily basis.

Greens now are in very good shape.

Played most recently in under 4 hours, but did leave the course about one month ago after playing 9 holes in over 2.5 hours.

Remember, this is an executive course and not very long. About 4600 yards.

Be careful when booking after men's or women's clubs go out. You could be in for a long day.

All this said, you can walk the course for $12 if you buy their senior card. Cart's run $10 per person.

Excellent driving range along with two putting greens.

Bar on site along with a small menu. Decent pro shop with very helpful and friendly staff.

Greens

I like the way they seeded the greens only doing half at a time
Pins were on smoothe part of green if you happened to land in the sand on green very tough to judge the speed

Fun course

Fun course puts a premium on iron shots. Greens can be tricky so prepare to play. Staff was courteous , friendly and helpful. We moved along at a good pace. Relaxing inviting snack bar area for sandwiches and short orders. Ray was great. Overall you will find every element needed for a fun day at the course.

Fun course when you get a good deal through Golfnow.com

It is obvious that the greens are receiving greater attention compared to recent years. Someone has done an excellant job upgrading the surfaces. The fairways are being punched right now. They could use some serious attention. The pace of play can be a bit slow and I've never seen a marshall encourage anyone to keep up with the pace of play. This is a fun little course and I enjoy playing there when it isn't crowded.

Nice But Short Course

Wouldn't pay more then $25 for this course as it's really just an extended executive course. Nobody kept tabs on start time and caused a hold up of 4 groups by the 8th hole. Nice, well maintained course but not worth more then $25.
