Fantastic greens, horrible pace of play

Tee boxes and greens were A+ as usual. However, pace of play horrible, disgusting, miserable- even by SoCal standards on weekend. Tee time 1106, Tee off 1145, bag off cart after 18- 550pm. Waited every shot, every hole. 2 five-sums in front of us, 2 fice-sums behind us, we were a 4-sum. Who lets out a 5 sum on the weeekend- ridiculous. Ran out of alcohol by 6th hole, speaker was dying, I had 2 birthdays. Tee times should be stacked a few more minutes apart, no five sums- get non si gle digit handicappers off blues/tips. Sending out a marshall to the par 3 7th to have the group behind hit after reaching the green, doesnt speed up play, now we all wait on 8tb Tee box. This starts with the pro shop and greed to get more players out- in the process makes the experience less than enjoyable.

They care more about making money than your enjoyment of the course

Pace of play at this course is absolutely ridiculous. Started over 20 minutes after my tee time and the round took over five hours to finish only 16 hole. Wasn't able to finish my round because it too long. Didn't help that tees time are 9 minutes apart and they book fivesomes for every group. It's really a shame that it's that poorly managed because the actual course isn't bad.

Long Round Angry Marshall

Tee off before 6:30am or you’re shafted. The Marshall is a grumpy grumpy man. Otherwise it’s great value just get there early and avoid the the red jacket fella on hole 1. You won’t see a Marshall after that point.

Slow Play - Poor Service

Played this course on a Wednesday at 11:30 and the front nine took over 3 hours. 5.5 hours total. Unless you are a very casual golfer who shoots over 100, you will likely not enjoy a round at this course. We also had to rent clubs and they were very poor quality and completely caked in dirt and grass. Didn’t even bother spending 1 minute wiping them done before giving them to us. The layout and condition were not bad, but not good enough to make up for the rest.

Slow

They let unsigned groups in front so the whole day T times get delayed the whole day. We teed off 45 mins late and waited 5-7 mins every hole.
