Decent course for Price

Played here multiple times over the years. Not sure if it is the summer, but fairways atrocious condition. The greens roll well. Not sure if will return.

Good price.

The price was right with the Hot Buy. The course itself is in average shape. The tee boxes and fairways could be better. The greens were in good shape and quite difficult.

The geofence on the carts are annoying, especially when the signage is poor. Carts should be allowed in the parking lot, IMO.

Enjoyable Very Easy Course

Most holes if not all are straight as an arrow. Some of the widest fairways I have ever played. Greens were in good county/city course shape. Pace of play was perfect. This is a great course for the beginner to intermediate golfer.

This course has very friendly staff.

The course was good. The only thing is that the flags are hard to see sometimes but the carts screen helps with that a lot. If you go in the afternoon you’ll enjoy a nice breeze and see the sun set.

A Great Course and Great Value

I truly enjoy this golf course. It's local for me, so that's a plus. But even if it weren't I'd drive a bit to play it regularly. It's a full-length course (par 72 or 73), with beautiful, wide fairways, and plenty of nice long par 4 and 5 holes to let those drivers and fairway woods sing. There's no water hazards, but there are still some things to watch out for (more on that in a moment). The fairways are in pretty decent shape, the greens are VERY nice, and large, and the rest of the course (carts, cart paths, trees, and conditions of the course overall) is very nice for the price. And that's really the best part, because you can get on this course with cart rental during the week for like $34/person, which is almost unheard of anymore.

A couple of minor drawbacks to be aware of. First, the fairways do have a ground squirrel infestation problem. There are holes, some of them pretty darned big, and if your ball goes in, it's gone. I think the little b***ards steal balls too, if I'm being honest, so keep a sharp eye out. Also, despite having a full restaurant and grill with indoor seating, etc., they don't operate it. You'll have drinks from the cooler, including beers, and a few snacks. The pro shop has some stuff (balls, tees, some shirts and hats, etc., but not an extensive selection). Also, they won't let you check in until 20 minutes prior to your tee time.

Other than that, it's a great place to play, pretty easy to get a tee time as long as you schedule early (no more than 1 week out), or to go and use their excellent driving range.

Rude lady in pro shop

I didn’t get to play because the rude lady in the pro shop wouldn’t allow me to check in or warm up until 1120 and my tee time was 1140. So I left

Great layout, that's about it.

The course design is fabulous, however it pretty much ends there. The fairways are hard and dry, you will hit many flyers and it is tough get solid contact due to the ground being rock hard. You will get lots of roll out on drives, but wedge shots become dangerous with the tight lies.

The greens are smooth and have an invasive grass in them which causes the ball to go offline at time, but the speeds of the green were consistent throughout the day.

The course is fully inhabited by California Ground Squirrels, who burrow intricate underground tunnels, I lost a ball or two in the fairway from simply seeing the ball roll out and then disappear. After going to the area where my ball was and seeing multiple ( 10 plus) holes in the ground, I was not happy.

The staff was friendly, the driving range is fine, you hit off mats and there is an awning/covered section of hitting bays.
