Muddy, Buggy, Lame Layout, Slow Spongey greens, Rude Pro Shop.

for 90+ dollars, you'd think the carts would have GPS or at least some yardage markers on the course, but there are neither. The guy in the pro shop couldn't have been less welcoming in the morning. There are a ton of muddy spots in the middle of fairways, an insane amount of Bugs and the greens are super inconsistent. Save your money and play anywhere else. Also whoever designed the course was on Acid, the layout is terrible. Easy to lose balls in places you shouldn't.

for the same price you could play Encinitas ranch, cross creek, Temecula creek inn, oceanside muni, Arrowood, goat hill and more courses that are way nicer and you won't feel like you wasted your money.

Par 70

This course is a par 70 with only 1 par 5 but to be honest you wouldn’t notice if it was written on the score card and we played from the whites. Had a great time at this course and would definitely come back and recommend to friends.

Okay course but the price is ridiculous

Let me start at the positive: as a local course I appreciate it accessibility as well as available teatime. However, the price at $90 on a Sunday morning is ridiculous. There is no way to justify that being value for your money. Also, the green on hole five should be closed and repaired. Otherwise, the course is fine and I would definitely return but a lot less frequently.

Price doesn’t match the value

We were delayed teeing off by 15 mins bc of a group ahead that was late. At the ninth hole we were harassed to play faster and then when we arrived at 10 we waited on the group ahead for 10 mins to tee off. So this was annoying. There were flies everywhere, especially on the back nine. It was annoying while teeing off, flies buzzing around our face. Not worth the price.

Bunkers need to be redone

Course was relatively in a good condition. But all the bunkers were terrible; they are basically packed down sand mud. They need to do a better job maintaining bunkers or redo bunkers.

Nice layout but conditions are poor

This course has a nice layout, but the conditions are poor. Many areas with just dirt and no grass. Also had one green that was about 50% burnt out.

Hole 5 green is a mess but

Aside from the 5th green, it was good. They are reshaping the 6th to make it more strategic and putting algaecide in the ponds (lost balls should be visible soon).

It was breezy but good. Took about 4.5 hrs (maybe less)
