Great course but got hit by a golf ball

Some people coming to this course can’t drive par 4s straight, I got hit in the collar bone pretty hard so just be careful out there.

It’s a decent par 3 course

It’s a good course to work on your short game. Just feel it should be cheaper for how small it is and the slow place.

Found my go to place

Sure, it’s not a fancy course (you do have to tee off from the mat except for a couple of holes) but I think I found a course I could play after work.

It was one of those days at work and I really wanted to just play a round by myself. Found this course on GolfNow. I checked in literally a minute before my tee time but staff was super understanding, and I was ready to go.

The course layout can be a bit confusing for a first timer. I walked, no pull cart—I only took 9 clubs with me. Definitely got my steps in, but it was relaxing and fun. The last two holes, it got really dark but I could still find my ball, thanks to the bright lights throughout the course.

If I ever have time after work again, I will definitely come back. 18 holes took me about 2.5 hrs. It was perfect.

If you have time…

Pace of play needs to pick up on this course. My fault - I knew I only had 2 1/2 hours to play when I booked - when I got there I saw the traffic on the course and opted out playing.

Decent for the price

There’s no Marshall and no starter. So it’s pretty much free for all and the people do their own thing and make their own groups slowing down pace of play. Pretty sure a group of 4 walked on the course behind us without paying at hole 3. So nobody’s really paying attention. Which makes for slow pace of play even though it’s a short course.

Also bummer is you have to hit off mats instead of tee boxes when they are letting the tee box grass grow back, that’s a bit annoying.

Overall I would come back, but not in a hurry. Good price and if there weren’t people piled up ahead of us it’s probably a 2.5hr pace of play for a high handicapper like me.

Snack bar at the turn is legit. Good breakfast burrito and drinks.

This course is a dog patch. I had heard it had been improved. What a waste of money. Weeds everywhere; dirt instead of grass in many areas. Will not return.

Beginner practice course

Great for a beginner. Greens and skirt are in good shape but grass condition beyond that is spotty. We were coming from arizona in summer and are beginners so it was just nice to have some trees and nice weather to play. Planes from John Wayne airport roar overhead but not constantly going over. The price was very reasonable so overall it was fun to play for beginners.
