Good Value, need a bit of tlc

Lots of under 100 yard par 3s. Large greens but couldn’t tell quality due to recent aeration. Bunkers more dirt than sand. Fairways and fringes were a bit dry in most areas making for tight lies off green. Pace was excellent, 3:10 for 18 with a super senior/handicap player. With a little tlc around the greens and fairways, would bum up rating a star.

Quick Round

This was my first time playing this course. Not sure why but the course was drenched they where running sprinklers all day. Tee boxes where very wet. The greens where a little rough no one seemed to fix divots.

Would I play again, yes at the discounted price I paid but not full price.

Great Course for Beginners or Group Play

This is a fantastic course to play. My wife is new to the game and this place challenges her with both long and short holes, as well as adding strategically placed bunkers to encourage accuracy. Even as a skilled player, I enjoy working on aspects of my game that longer courses don't allow for. If I had to be critical, I would say that players do a bad job of repairing ball marks and the pace of play can be slow at times. Overall, this is my favorite executive course in Orange County.

Great deal for 50 par course

Great kept place. Pace is great and staff is courteous. The only complaint is with fellow golfers not fixing their divots on the greens...... will be back.

Testing

Pace of play was 2 1/2 hours. Course was kind of empty because of long 4th holiday. Course in good shape except traps were hard and wet from watering. Green were somewhat bumpy. I was testing new swing trying to hit longer clubs instead hitting harder, Reaching 77 YEARS

Best Short Course

I have played on a lot of short courses (Par 3/4) and this is by far the most enjoyable. Private club quality greens and great layout!
