Slower than molasses

Had 1048am tee time, teed off at 1110 and completed round at 440. Waited on every tee box and on every approach shot. Cart path only although course was drying well enough. Bunkers were ponds and very little sand when dry. Greens were in decent shape.

Would not honor confirmed prices

I booked a reservation for three people at $45 per person but when I got there, they charged us an extra $10 per person and would not honor the prices I booked for, despite showing them the confirmation email. I had no choice but to pay the extra price as I had brought others with me and it was too late to go somewhere else. It’s fine if you want to charge a higher price but don’t scam your customers by offering a lower price and then not honoring it.

Would not honor confirmed prices

I specifically went here today because I made reservations at $45 per person through Golfnow. However, when I got there, the staff charged an extra $10 per person and would not honor the price despite showing him my confirmation email with the price I booked for. I ended up paying because I had brought other people there with me as I thought I would get the price I booked for and it was too late to go somewhere else. It’s fine if you want to charge a higher price, but don’t scam customers by offering a cheaper price and then not honoring it.

Slow due to 5-somes

I played here years ago, and someone told me that many improvements were made, so I gave it a go. And, I realized why I don't play here. Slow pace is the back breaker though the course condition was better than average. Still, the condition was nothing to brag about. As the course is right next to a busy freeway, some of the holes were quite noisy. It's not a major issue, but occasional honking and air break noise can bother some golfers, I gather. I did hear from my father-in-law that the course offers nice deals to seniors, and I think that's great. This course is good for weekend warriors and seniors, but if you're looking for a challenging course or quick pace of play, take this one off of your list.

6+hr round

The guy at the front desk would not let us check in until 5 min before my tee time. The round was 6 hrs 15 min long. No marshals around on a course littered with fivesomes. No cart girl. Overall terrible golf experience.

Need to work on hiring staff and manage time

I have booked for 2 30 supertwilight.. as soon as we checked in a asian staff has mentioned that your not going to finish anyways so come by 6 30pm, he was just ryde in a way. regardless of that we wanted to tee off and there were no marshall at the location.. everyone started at the time they want and due to that the course was packed! I meam super packed! there were 3 groups everytime we got to the next tee. Obviously I have called the pro shop and complaint that someone needs to be pushing thisthese groups and get them organized. He has just said "what you expect on a satursay", I have explained that its not my concerm if its busy or not I have paid and you need to send someone to get this course moved. Anyways we have spend almost 2 hours and half just to get to the 8th hole... and finally the marshall came and offered us to go back to 2nd tee and there were no line. Thank you for the solution but who does that?? does any body goes back and play the game just to make the time? well I will never go back to this place and please IF YOU GET TO BOOK. DO NOT BOOK AFTER 1PM. YOU WON'T FINISH THE COURSE.

It takes forever to complete a round

3 hours and 5 minutes!!! That's how long it took just for the first 9 holes. And another 2 hours and 50 minutes for back 9.. It took almost 6 hours and it was the longest round I've ever played in a decade..

Nice greens

The greens were really nice today.They appear to be taken care of. Unfortunately this doesn't apply to the fairways or bunkers. Who has vegetation growing inside of their bunkers? Are you kidding me? They are also hard packed dirt, not sand. Someone needs to get into those things with a tiller and break it all up. As far as the fairways are concerned, my buddy and I were 10 feet apart in the fairway. He was on decent fairway grass, I was on hardpan. I may as well have been hitting off of the cartpath. Since it appears they are trying to partner with the local hotel, you would think they would put some focus on the conditions.

Staffs are friendly although the condition of the course needs some improvements. Course Marshall need to improve his attitude to the golfers. Even though he was doing his best job, friendly and courteous words could make golfers a lot more comfortable.

Golf Now pricing

Booked $45 green fee online, paid the service fee and balance was due at the course. The Pro Shop would not honor the price and charged my party $10 more each stating take it up up Golf Now. Course is in decent shape, some bare spots in fairway, greens in good shape, slow pace of play.

One of the worst experiences in my life

By the time we finished 13th hole, it took 4 hours and 20 minutes, when we reached 14th hole which is par 3, there were one group teeing off and 2 groups waiting in front of us, that's 3 groups, there were 2 groups in front of us every holes, told the Korean starter as we were leaving what happened and he said "what do you expect on a Saturday".
