Great Executive Course

Great course for working on your iron game on the front nine (hitting off the mat) except for holes 4 and 7 (Par 4s). Holes 15 through 17 are also Par 4s. We usually finish 18 Holes in 3 1/2 hours which is absolutely awesome for Orange County.

1st time golfer

Loved that the course was casual and not too stressful. This was my 1st time golfing with my daughter and we were excited to get a golf cart, we ate lunch which was delicious and big portions.

Worst course I have ever played

I’m not one to write reviews but this was the worst course I have ever played. Mostly mats for tee boxes and the whole course looks like it’s been shut down for years.

Restaurant is nice… carts are all broken

These carts are dirty and falling apart … and they charge you for 2 people as a single rider… so be prepared to spend $50 to ride

Hitting off the mats is more like a driving range than a golf course

Staff are rude and unprofessional

This place operates like a miniature golf course… the staff are not adequately trained and the carts cost $25 … which is the cost of 18 holes !

Amazing value

Course was in pretty good shape. Greens were running smooth at medium speed maybe around an 8. Pace was a little over 3 hours seeing off at 630 am on a Sunday as there were 2 slower groups ahead of us. Starter was really nice and let me go out an hour early. Love coming here.

Great value

Course was in pretty good shape with some rougher areas around the greens. Greens were slower but smooth. Once you adjusted to the speed, easier to make putts as you could be pretty aggressive. Great mix of holes with 5 par 4's and 13 par 3's. Primarily teeing off mats but backside you have options to tee off grass or not. Started at 2:45 and done by 6:00 pm. Pace seemed slower with but pace of play was just over 3 hours for 18 holes. Staff was friendly and tried to accommodate getting me out early.

Not What I Expected

I read reviews before playing. One reviewer mentioned the state of the art hitting mats. (See photo)

This course was muddy, smelly, full of poop, grass was not manicured, hitting mats were in terrible shape, fairways were in terrible shape. The greens, however, were in great shape.

Course needs a complete makeover.
