Vineyard - run down, workout golf course - extremely disappointing
Played this course for the 1st time and the course was in terrible shape.
Shows many signs of lack of watering, fairways were the worst I have ever seen.
This course is obviously cash striped or has no grounds crew. Where it was not bare, it was overgrown from years of no trimming.
Who ever owns and operates this course is extremely neglectful because it is in a desirable area.
Take a pass on this course until management puts a ton of work into it !

Pace of play was awesome!
Had an 11:40 tee time and arrived with about 10 minutes till our tee time. Teed off and never had anybody on our backs and none of the holes were backed up. The price was a little high but the course was in great shape!

Another beautiful day for golf in SoCal
When we went to check in, the pro shop didn't show our reservation that I booked through golf now. I showed my confirmation email and they were able to get us out 5 minutes after our tee time.

Bumpy Greens, Unadvertised Cart Fee
Vineyard is an excellent course with distinctly different front and back nines.
Our round on April 1 was enjoyable overall. I was miffed when each member in our group was charged $15 for a cart when that was not mentioned anywhere before I booked, or in the confirmation. So, it turned what we thought was a good deal into a still-decent deal but the unexpected charge was a bad way to start.
I think that only the 18th green rolled well; all the others were rather bumpy and it became a running joke throughout our round. Conditions overall were pretty good but not as good as previous outings there.
