Freshly aerated greens today

Putting today was like putting at the beach. They don't have greens, they have sands. Which I would not have a problem with, except that there is no mention of that when booking a tee time on golf now. That is complete BS. All other courses have the decency to put a aeration alert when you book a tee time. And because they didn't, they get 2 stars from me today.

For Juniors only

Majority of the tee boxes are set up with concrete pads that mats are placed on. The 2-3 tee boxes that had grass in the alternative longer hole length configuration, the leveling of the dirt and the sparse grass on top of it was a disaster. Never will play again with my 10 or 12 year old, even they were bummed out by it, and we play muni's in Long Beach all the time. Pass.

A Nice Course and Friendly Surroundings

The conditions are nice and the course is laid out well with shade spots and only a few holes in need of repair. The shop and snack bar are nice as is the driving range. It won't be the best course that you will ever play, but certainly now the worst either. Each hole has a turf tarp, so no golf tees needed other than the rubber ones. I've been there twice and will return.

Value, if booked with discount

There are many fairways that look like war zones. Factor that in before you pay $30 plus for a round.

They really need to make all holes with no mats and maintain the fairways a lot better.

Never again

Don’t fall for the price, not worth it. 3 different holes there Were 3-4 groups waiting on tee. Played 9 holes in 2.5 hours for an executive course. Layout very tight. Balls flying over head and matts for tee boxes are rock hard.

Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve.

A lot to be desired.

I’ve been at the driving range here a few times, and had a fairly decent experience.

Playing 18 holes shed a different light however. To start, the majority (i.e., 16/18 holes) required you to tee off of old mats that one might find at a second-rate driving range. Two of the 18 holes (par 4’s) likely require most players to hit a ball off of a tee. Considering the mats had no tees installed, one must bring their own rubber tees along.

The front 9 was playable, but nothing to flaunt about. The back 9 however was in serious disarray. The fairways were patchy at best. The last 3 holes were more dirt than grass.

I would recommend the pro shop to anyone. However, I would be hard pressed to ever come play this course again. It’s quite a shame really, the potential for this place to be fun was quite high.

Good Executive Course

Honestly I was expecting a lot more out of this course seeing it was in Newport Beach. What brought down expectations was the green fee. $30 on a Saturday..that's great anywhere! Sometimes you get what you pay for and I would say you get alot of bang for the buck for this executive course. Range was kept up, Staff was friendly. Just a heads up when I played there. They had hitting mats in the tee boxes! The plus is, guys won't hit it fat. Well for the most part. Fairways and greens were good. Not a lot of dead grass. Rough was nothing penalizing (mats on tee boxes not so difficult rough = great pace of play. Which with the amount of people on the course and most were walking..went pretty quickly. Also they run out of carts and push carts fast. Real fast..I forgot at these "great value" courses. You get the folks that well..are not to acquainted with golf etiquette. That pretty much think this is a course where you can act like want. We were a foursome..being held back by the twoesome in front of us ..getting hassled by the twesome behind us..Talking loud on greens..yelling from each other on the fairway...It's whatever. If it was a nicer course, I probably would've said something..at the very least to the marshall (which I think they did not have one). But big fairways on the par 4's. Easy par 3's. The back nine is harder if there is a word for that on this course. A lot more wide open. Greens varied in speed. which was annoying. but again, 30 bucks is 30 bucks. The staff were pretty nice, very accommodating. The course gets very busy..I had a tee time at 10..and the place was packed. I'll play again, cause thought it wasn't great..it wasn't bad..at all You can shoot a pretty good score which is good. Off topic, do yourself a favor, buy a pullcart..if you play enough..The pull cart fees add up..really fast..I think the guys that sold the $80 tiny bottle of hand sanitizer are now selling the push carts at crazy high prices...hope the golf gods make you pay. I got lucky, I found some guy that was tired of walking sell me an awesome Sun Mountain for $80..and I'm talking the nice ones, the ones you see being sold used at $250. Anyways..hope this helps..it's a feel good course..you almost have to try to shoot a really bad score.
