Hard to beat this for value and fun

Course gives you different looks each hole, some elevation. Greens are consistent and fairly easy & predictable. Conditions are very good. Great value for time and money

Love this course

I'm an intermediate player so love the executive layout. Always well maintained, some bare spots around different holes. Have been here many times, love your midday rate specials, will see you again!

Control who tees off and when

Starter came out to say we could go when ready. Starter can't see first tee and doesn't announce pairings.

He came out at 1:17. Our Tee time was 1:29. We could see 2 groups stacked up on Two. We waited until the last group was hitting

We still caught them by the 4th.

Stalled around as the group behind us was very slow. Caught them again on 10 and again on 14 despite.

It took nearly 4 hours but we played two bonus holes during dead time

Cheap golf!

My son and I got too hot deal passes on golf now and played this great executive course for $10.99 each! Nothing less expensive around! The course was in great condition! Never waited at all, played with another fellow, who was a super nice guy, enjoyed our selves immensely! And again for $10.99. Can’t beat it!

Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone about this place

Seriously THE best staff, carts, and course layout of any exec course in SoCal. A totally hidden gem that is great if you’re playing with families and new players, small groups, and even just getting to know the local neighbors.

The Pro staff is super chill and not stuffy like other courses.

If you want a longer course, The Links is a great option too and is a partner course within a mile of the Exec.

Pretty sure I play here 3-5 times per month and it’s always a good time.

Great Round

Was my buddies B-Day, so it was my treat.

Started on time.

Pace of play was ok.

Took 2 1/2 hrs to play all 18.

Some sections still soggy from recent heavy rains.

Forgot my hat, but got great customer service from cart return gentlemen. (gave me a hat from lost & found)

Had one of my best rounds ever this time out!!!
