Fairways Too Dry!

This has been my home golf course for years, but it was drier than usual. Even though the greens were in excellent shape, the fairways and the bunkers could use a little upkeep.

Holiday Weekend

I play Shandin often but hadn’t played the course in about 2months. Forgot it was a holiday weekend when I booked.Staff was great getting me out before a group of 20. I was surprised at the condition of the course but taking into account the recent high winds and fire which reached portions of the course. My only grip is the course was seriously over booked. 3 hours to play the front 9. I understand the need to make a profit, but it’s at everyone’s expense. The grill attendant was seriously outpaced by the demand, every cart was in use and not being recharged after a round. My cart barely made in through 9. My last issue is; there should be someone enforcing the dress code. I saw guys in work boots, leather dress shoes, Tee shirts, and everything in between. Again, staff was great but swamped with the amount of bookings. It seemed to be the day all those that never play or play once a year came out! Still a great place to play when not crowded

Never Again

First time in area, first course played. This is the worst course I have ever played by far ! Staff was rude, patrons were ruder! Group behind us kept hitting into us so we let them play through, the next group did the same. We felt we were in a nascar race! It seems the men’s club group have priority over anyone on the course, or at least they think the do, most holes we didn’t.t even complete our play, group behind us drove up to us & I was yelled at, insulted, along with my wife because she hit the ball 3 times on one of the par 4 fairways, reported to the person in charge when we completed our play & he seemed unconcerned! DON’t play this course no matter what the charge is !,,’

All about the "All Inclusive"

Play here often. Enjoy this course. It's fairly priced for what the course has to offer conditions/upkeep wise. The All Inclusive deal makes it well worth it. You get all the range balls you want, all the breakfast and all the lunch (selected menu). Soda and coffee too!!!!! I do believe free replay too. Not sure on that one though. The front 9 is tougher than the back. Blame the wind. The course was really dry, with some thin fairways. Greens in pretty descent shape...fast!!!! And a fire did break out on the adjacent bush bordering the course and hill side. All in all. Good value.

Shandong Hills Golf club

It's sad how this course has deteirated everything from the front desk personal to out on the course. I used to play and practice at this course back in the 90's. It was one the very best public golf facilities in the Inland Empire.. I hope that they get it together and restore this course back to what it once was.

More dirt than grass

Course is in horrible shape. There is more dirt than grass. The greens are the only thing that look kept up at all. I hadn’t golfed here in years and now I remember why.

Ugliest course I've ever played

I'm not a great golfer so I look for deals each time I play. I go more so to relax and enjoy the beauty of the golf course. So far, I have to say that his was the ugliest course I've ever played at; ugly enough to want to write this review. On the back nine you have the freeway on one side and a train track on the other. The surrounding hills look like it recently caught on fire. Lots of bunkers protecting the holes. The greens have divots and debris everywhere. The worse part was probably the fairways which was composed of primarily dead grass and gravel. Imagine hitting the perfect drive down the center fairway only to have to hit your second shot off of gravel. Horrible course right next to the 210 freeway. Was informed during my play that someone had hit a ball onto the highway and cracked a windshield. Not only is this an ugly course in my opinion but it's a danger to the public. Men's bathroom was also out of order by the pro shop. Got a hotdeal on GolfNow for $19.99 but would never come here again.

Downhill

Use to be a goid condition course just a few years ago. No the course is burned out. Lots of fairways bare spots and hardpan. Must have fallen on hard times.

Low cost is a plus for a 18 hole walk and a bunch of swings

Picked the wrong week

A lot of people took off the day before Thanksgiving and so the pace was slow. Other days I finish a round in 3 hours easily.

Nightmare

No carts when we arrived. Insanely overbooked. No course martial. They started a five player group in front of us. At one point of our marathon round there were 9 players waiting on the tee box of a par 3 and a foursome on the green. Five and a half hour round. Never again will I golf there!

Iffy

So, the bunkers which are a primary feature of this course we not in good shape... hard packed, and no a lot of sand in them... also for this round, all the tee boxes were moved (reseeding the regular tee boxes), so the course was not in the best of shape tee to greens (fairways not great either)...BUT, the greens were spectacular, and when in good condition, this is a solid course.... just caught it at a bad time.

Wtf

Booked an inexpensive Tee time thru GolfNow. Teed off at 12:30. Caught up to tournment play in 30 minutes, holes 4 -18 were clogged with 8somes. OMG. Went back to starter and requested a rain check. He said no. Not cool Shandin Hills, I used to like you, now, not so much. You f'd with our relationship over a few bucks. I'll remember that.
