Cresta Verde Golf Club

Not very pleased. Very slow play with no Marshall to move golfers along. Took us 1-1/4 hours to play the first 4 holes and over 2-1/2 for the front 9. Paid more for the weekend but it wasn’t worth it. Left after 9 holes. A Morher’s Day disappointment.

Here is my experience. I booked a 6:00 AM tee-time for. Drove in from Orange County. I always play close to the first tee-time because I don't like to be rushed. I like to get to the course, warm up, and get my yips out on the driving range, hit 27 balls, then do some lag putting.

The issues:

(1) 6:00 AM tee-time, and there were no employees to check us in or the group that was congregated near us. An employee did not arrive until after 6:00 AM. So, right from the gate, we felt rushed to tee off. Odd thing, though, when we arrived at 5:30 AM. There was already a foursome-teeing off with carts. Hmm, it must be owners' friends because there were no keys in any other carts, nor was there was soul to tend to our needs.

(2) Course conditions - I see the potential. It is there, but it is seriously lacking. On some of the greens, there are weeds, some fairways dirt-packed, tee boxes uneven.

(3) One of the holes we teed off on four sprinklers was going on the left side of the fairway about 250 yards out. Guess where we hit it. Yep, in the lake. So, we had to time the sprinklers and kick our balls out of the lake.

Unfortunately, we will not be back. It's $49 bucks, but it's not worth it.

They work hard to keep the fairways green. The greens were in great condition.

No plan on setting up tee times per al golfers. Pace was bottled neck with too many players. The greens were not cut.

Coarse is in best shape its been in years. she still a little rough on the edges so you need to keep it in the fairway to stay out off trouble. Price make it a coarse worth playing.

DID NOT KNOW THAT THE GREENS WERE AIRATED RECENTLY. HOWEVER THE SEEMED TO ROLL PRETTY GOOD.

We were only allowed to play the back nine twice. Front nine under maintenance----sanding greens. Would like this information on the web site prior to scheduling.

The course needs some TLC and WATER! I've never seen mats in the middle of a fairway before. The good news, once you got to the greens, they were nice and true.

Course is in rough shape. 6+ Hour round. No marshaling. Allow sixomes - never seen that before.

Why in the world were the sprinklers on at 11:AM and the mowers were stopping our play on several holes. Both were very annoying and should be in play either very early in the AM or very late in the PM. The person on the mower was not friendly or apologetic in the least.

Fun course to have fun with friends. Drink / talk/ catch up on old times. Golf is fun but this course is old and has some bad holes: dirt/ rocks/ old patches of greens. Holes 15 is a brutal run down par 4. Hole 16 is tough with OB to the left and right. The green is slanted and a bogey is a very good score. 6-7-8 is not uncommon. 17 is a mean 175-186 yard downhill shot. Par is very good. 18 is also tough. If you can score 2-4 over in the last 4 holes your playing good. Expect to shoot 90-105 average.

Have been playing this course over 10 years.

The course improve a lot, the staff are friendly and Manager Ni heels extremely nice took care the players. Plan to play here once a week, it is great Exercise for us
