Staff sucked, tee boxes were off mats and most of them were rough. Greens were good.

It’s a chill course

It’s a pretty chill course, it’s by the John Wayne Airport so if you complain about that you’re making excuses but up or shut up, the only thing for me that was really different was playing from mats. Other than that it’s a chill course nice 18 course to walk, I’ve never walked an 18 course but this one wasn’t too bad to walk. Forsure will come back

Slow slow slow

By the 4th hole there was a 4 group line up waiting to tee off. Just atrocious pace of play and makes for a longer than necessary round.

Father’s Day…

Pace of play was extremely slow with up to each group playing 6 players- I understand Father’s Day but course care was neglected big time. Dads- teach your kid to fix his divots and ball marks. Spent the day fixing greens and watching pelicans beat the ball 20ft.

On big days put a Marshall out pushing place of play with a case of fireballs- win win for both player and course. Great that lights works but there are some dark spots on the back 9.

Grass Tee Box!

Haven’t played here in more than a decade. They’ve really made it enjoyable. Not every hole has a mat!! Awesome improvement. I think all holes on the back have a grass tee box. Greens were great and I couldn’t believe people had golf carts. I’ll be back.

Overpriced and always busy

One of the longer executive type courses around here. The greens are in decent shape as well as the tee boxes. I went to go play last week. Had a 6AM tee time and when I went to get I. My car at 5:30 it wouldn’t start so I couldn’t go. But of course I got charged still. Kind of ridiculous. A course that is packed all the time and really because it’s the only one around, charges me for a tee time I so desperately wanted to go to but couldn’t. Disgusting

Tee times to close together

No control of tee times or starter block. It seems they just pack the course with as many players as possible. I did a hot deal for 18 holes on a Sunday at 4pm and didn’t want to play the back nine because it was talking so long to finish the front nine. Won’t use this app to book a times here again.

Fun little course if you set your expectations right

You are playing off mats for many holes (stick to back 9 if you want to tee off from grass more).

It’s a fun little course that you can play 9 holes in under an hour thirty on weekdays.

Greens are very well maintained but fairways are pretty average.

Overall a fun little course if you set your expectations right. Great place to take a beginner to.

Worst customer service experience ever

First thing I get there and there's no putting. There redoing the entire putting greens.. no notice.. then second get to the window to check in for my Teetime that I planned week in advance. The worker tells me there no back 9 there's only the front 9 holes. But you can lope back around and do it again. I had friends coming from as far as 30 miles away to only play a 9 hole course. Then on top of that the place raised there pricing. Could not believe how bad the place is getting. Absolutely terrible experience. I don't think there going to be around much longer. I least for me and the amount of friends that I know, we won't be coming back to often. Get your act together.
