Worth the price
Lots of cool holes. Lots of ups and downs. Great scenery, but course conditions arent the best but you get what you pay for.
Not too long, but a bit challenging and requires lots of precision shots!
Shortage of maintenance
Everything is not bad but the fairway and bunkers. There are one third of the fairway without grass, but funny thing is all bunkers are growing very good grass without any sands.
Don’t waste your time
Decided 2 days prior that I wanted to go play somewhere, so options were limited, but at least I know now not to waste my time on this course ever again. Tee boxes were awful, fairways were halfway dead or just dirt, and the greens had patches of crabgrass growing all over. The people there were nice and my review has nothing to do with them, but this place is in bad need of some course maintenance or it’s going to wind up like Paradise Knolls.

Norm, the starter guy was great and very accommodating. Norm is a great asset to your course. We drove from OC, and we got to the course an hour early due to no traffic but Norm got us out early so we finished earlier as well which was great , thank you Norm!!!
Greens were punched but was still was ok. Wished people would also take the time to fix the divots on the green. Otherwise, it was a great experience.
Thank you!!
Just skip this one.
Nothing good to say about this course except there is no one else playing. May be good for you first ever round.
This is a course you learn to love
I use to hate this course. I couldn’t break 80. It took me 20 rounds to break 80. Course management is key and you don’t need to hit Driver. Especially on hole # 16. That hole is a trap. It’s average / course condition is average / price is fantastic. We get a deal : group discount. I play it 2-3x a week. It’s fun golf !! 7 out of 10. Eagle Glenn 9 out of 10. Dos Lagos 8+ out of 10. Journey penchanga 10 out of 10. Red hawk 9+ out of 10. But those course are twice as much in $$. You get what you pay for.
Solo dolo
Great day of golf by myself because my partner went home. Always a fun course and consistently tough. People allowed me to play through which was super nice of them. 10/10 will play again

First time playing this course, pace of play was really slow. Good thing 4some in front of us let us play through but the foursome in front of them was behind 3 or 4 holes. So we skipped a hole and finished in 3 hrs. Which is great but it was just myself and my son.
Another problem was the 2 some behind us, they were driving the cart almost to the green not in 1 hole but almost all the holes.
Condition of the course was not bad except for people that don’t know how the game should be played. Be more considerate and know the game.
Golf course has no class and does not follow Covid guidelines
Not a bad golf course for your money. Some greens and fairways are poorly maintained.
However, it looks like this place do not follow Covid guidelines as golf cart was not cleaned properly (still saw a lot of eaten sunflower seeds on the seat and in the dashboard/cup holder area). Some of the staff outside did not wear masks and did not follow social distancing.
But to top it all off, we had a unpleasant interaction with an Asian lady staff that came up to us while we were in our carts. She was NOT wearing a mask and was yelling at us for bringing a cooler and was less than one foot away from our faces... WITHOUT A MASK.
I understand we were in the wrong from bringing a cooler even though it was close to 100 degrees today, but the way that staff handled that situation was terrible and shows that this golf course has no class. I just thought there was a better way to handle the situation. We were having a good time at the course but that interaction left a bad taste in the mouth.
Cheap, decent but pretty difficult
Had a blast. Better than expected conditions. Great price for under 30 bucks. Pace of play was fantastic. The course is really hard though. A ton of blind approach shots. You'll need to drive up on 11 to make sure you won't kill anybody before hitting your approach. Tons of tight fairways and elevated greens. Try to play with a local or else you'll need to play a few times to shoot anywhere close to your handicap.
A GOOD DAY
This is a good value course -- good for working on your game -- Staff is great
