Great classic course.

First time playing. Drove out from Upland to play. Worth the 90 minute drive. Second group out, great pace of play. Played round in 3hrs. Would definitely go back.

Nice Hidden Gem

This was a last minute booking for a foursome. The course is lined with houses, which is the only thing I don't like. I like to be in a more natural environment. However, the course is well maintained and the staff is super friendly. The fairways are like carpet and the greens are firm. I would play this course again.

Bad timing

Bad timing, as I played a day after an inch of rain.

I found the course to be very long and difficult, not to mention an incredible amount of DEEP sand traps

Yes a beautiful course, but not for the faint hearted. I am in mid 70s and am normally a bogey golfer, but not here 😞

Shadow Mountain Warmup

Course is in fine shape. Greens slow due to still drying out from rain a few days ago. Played on Sunday in 2.5 hours with no one ahead of me. Fun course, has its challenges, and is a great place to get your game warmed up before tackling more difficult courses.

Tight fairways

Mid-length course. Have to keep the ball in play as fairways are tight. Can afford to give up a little distance; can’t give up control/accuracy

Fun Golfing

Fun golf, not overly long distances, especially for we more mature players 😁

Greens are nice but slower than others in the area.

Truly enjoyed the round 👍🏻

I was not happy. Couldn't use power carts, there wasn't any pull carts. And no discount, really?

I will not be back.

VERY SHORT

Played the day after rain so paid for a cart but it wasn’t allowed. Course was in nice shape but very short at 5300 yards from the tips. Fairly easy for an average golfer.
