Nice course to play

The only issue was a tournament ahead of us that was slow. Other than that would play there again.

Weekend pace of play warning

I play this course more than any other. The layout is fun and each hole is unique. The conditions here are always great, that you can count on. The problem seems that on weekends the course is over booked and more importantly not marshalled for pace of place. Our tee time was 10:50am and we barely finished losing daylight around 5:15pm, which is horrendously long. I never once saw a marshall enforcing pace of play, it was horrible. Play here M-Th early if you can, we play within 3 hours if we are the first to tee off.

They should limit the number of starts

Sure, the day after Christmas might be a favorite golf day for occasional golfers, but the facilities management should ensure they do not overcrowd the course.

It was more crowded than Walmart on Black Friday.

Started us an hour after our tee time and we barely finished the 13th before the sun went down. The issue was not simply slow play, there were carts everywhere.

Post Xmas Round

Treated a friend to a round of golf for his bday. Play was slow as expected considering it was a long holiday weekend (day after Xmas). The course was in fantastic condition. It has been a while since the last time I visited this course and forgot how simple and nice of a course this is. Definitely be back soon.

So so

The course was in nice condition. My only complaint is we booked our tee time for 837. The started never called us, even though we checked in a couple of times. Ended up teeing off at 940. The course was way over booked. Took almost 6 hours to finish. We expected it to be busy being the day after Christmas, but not this busy. The food was good, greens ran fast and true. I'd play here again, but on a week day only.

great fairways and greens

Great layout. You get good lays in the fairway. Greens roll good and smooth. Definitely have to check mountain to read the breaks. Can get slow due to number of people playing.

Cramped!

I must preface saying that I had a great round and was paired up with some great playing partners. Greens were in excellent condition and a lot of fun to putt on.

Tee boxes were really bad, not mown and were really uneven. Fairways were a bit better and not horrible but not great either. The biggest complaint is actually out of the owners control without a huge remodel. Each hole is extremely tight (not in a good way) and sits next to two to three fairways of other holes. I guess considering the land they built it on they did ok but to play it isn't fun. People are hitting onto everyones fairways because of how close so your always worried someone is picking up or hitting your ball when you get to it.

In addition, they let 5 some's out which is super frustration with the pace of play. If this was a huge course I would be ok with it, but with 6 par 3's it slows things down tremendously. For the price I paid I didn't regret playing but I wouldn't be stoked to play out here again.

It did have a few scenic holes and a few beautiful views.

San Dimas is always a good value.

This course is always maintain very well, the staff is friendly and the pase of play is excellent add to that the mountain views you can enjoy from the fairways help make San Dimas an excellent choice for your golf outing.

Cousre takes for EVER to play!

I played this course on 11/ 11/14, while the course was really nice the management needs to pay more attention to how many people it puts out on the course per hour! We arrived 30 minutes for our 10:45a tee time and were promptly told they were at least 30 minutes behind. They even ran out of Karts!!!! So we were about 45 minutes late starting. Once out on the course it was really slow going having to wait at every hole, the round took us over 6 hours to play. We spoke to several marshals that were out of the course and they tried to move people along but didn’t succeed very much. The only way we were able to finish before dark was that many groups went home without finishing. Totally unacceptable!

Great Value

My wife and I played late morning on a Monday. We played in 3 and a half hours and had a 20 minute lunch at the turn. The course was challenging enough for me (plus 2) but easy enough for my wife (25). Greens were in excellent shape. A very beautiful setting at the base of large hills with a family of dear roaming the course. And the staff was excellent. In particular Randy the pro and Rosie at the snack bar were very helpful, pleasant and accommodating. I would recommend this course to anyone that wants a good round without breaking the bank.

Why would management ok 5somes?

Beautiful course. However, playing behind a five some on a weekend afternoon takes a lot of enjoyment out of the experience. Pace of play was horrible.

Fun Course

This is one of my favorite golf courses. Like to play later in the afternoon as it appears less crowded and makes for a relaxing round of golf. My favorite is the 16th hole, a decent par three directly over a lake with a shooting water fountain. Very reasonable rates with a very friendly staff. Highly recommend this fun course!

Took too long

The course is a fairly good one. It may be due to a Friday afternoon, but we had to stop every hole and wait. It took too long to finish the game -- over 5 hours.

Beautiful course

Beautiful course, however, they allow groups of 5 and it was a 5 1/2 hour round. There was a junior golf class playing, so this made it a long wait as well as the Asians owning the course, hitting up on people and taking forever to play and looking for balls. They need to monitor the players more closely.

Hot course on a very hot day

Jus played San Dimas Canypn on a scorching hot day ( temps about 106). The course overall was in great shape and is well maintained. The fairways are wide and the rough is generally kind. Overall, a great day to play, especially when the clouds rolled in!
Only complaint is they need to have water coolers at every other hole. Poorly functioning water fountains at the club house and two along the course are insufficient even when it is cooler... It's California so it's usually going to be warm.

The course layout has some challenging holes and narrow fairways. They allow groups of five on a weekend morning which contributed to a lengthy round. The course is maintained well considering the dry conditions. I would recommend this course with some hesitation.
