Nice course

Had a great day. Nice layout, a bit dated but fun. Greens are in great shape, fairways are average for this time of year. 3 hour round, $17 for 18 holes w/cart. I will definitely be back

Crusty Green

The course is crusty but green lol This Course has a lot of potential but they manage to keep this one playable and enjoyable. Some challenging holes and very gettable course....Owner very nice and personable. Course just needs more care, all bunkers are signed “under repair” but more like “under....ummm...hmmm...forget about it” just keep it under $35 buck and you won’t feel like you over paid to play 18 holes. Good practice.

Great value with Golfnow price

The course was in good shape, fairways were a little dry but not terrible. The greens were very good, although a little bumpy.

Played for Golfnow rate of $12 in 3 hours - excellent value!!

Nice course but needs some TLC

Nice course and I’d play here again, but.....

Every single bunker has been totally “abandoned, neglected and forgotten” by the greens keeping staff. You can tell where bunkers used to be but are now barren wastelands of overgrowth. It’s obvious the course owners have given up on maintaining the bunkers and that really takes away from this course. The fairways are really narrow and are all but maybe 10% of them are completely surrounded by houses. I read that this is one of the oldest courses (80+) in the state, where the likes of Lucille Ball and her husband Desi Arnaz and Burt Lancaster used to play here decades ago. To me, this makes Cresta Verde a “classic” old school course. I can only imagine what it was like to golf here 60-80 years ago when there was nothing else out here but the old Norconian Club further west. This place is pretty nostalgic if you understand some of its rich history. The staff here is excellent and the putting greens were great. Most (not all) of the fairways are in good shape but the tee boxes are pretty much all thrashed, but still playable. I do recommend this course again because it’s not crowded. It is challenging with hills and narrow fairways at times. Saw several coyotes on the fairways which is good. The song-dogs destroy the “VC” (Varmint Cong” as Bill Murray’s character from Caddy Shack Called them) and keep the grass burrow free. The coyotes don’t interfere with play and it’s nice to see the wildlife. So for neglected bunkers and poor tee boxes, I can only give the course 2-stars overall. I’m excited however to play here again in a few weeks or so. I just hope they bring back the bunkers, because every great course has them! (Note to self: what’s a golf course without sand traps??? Come on Cresta Verde!!!! ;-)

Hit and miss

Usually have a good time, it depends on the time of the year. Been here when every things are in great shape. Also been here when place is just crap. When this place is in good shape the course is a great value for your money. This par 70 course has its share of challenging holes from moderate elevation changes to its 6,065 yard length from the back tees.

Nice Layout

The course overall is very fun and has a nice layout. The tea boxes are in really rough shape though. The group we played in front was extremely slow so we actually had to jump them but after that everything was really fun and had a overall great time.

Fun course to play

Interesting layout of several holes. Enjoy the elevated tee boxes and elevated greens that are prevalent throughout the entire course. Always play mid-day (12:00 - 1:00 PM) and get great rates with golfnow.com. Not crowded during the week at this time of day. Not as difficult as some courses in the Inland Empire but it is a course I look forward to playing throughout the year.

Good muni for the price.

This course is not in the best shape, but played on a Saturday for $19 in 2:15! It's a pretty decent layout and if your looking for a good value to beat the ball around,

this is it.

Played this course again today and the weather was great. The course is improving and it's still our favorite golf course in the area. I birdied the 1st Hole for the first time. It's a long par 5. Awesome! The staff is still awesome too.

It was disgusting

This course discriminates Golf Now golfers with others. I had arrived the course 16minutes before tee time. The starter had insisted I had to wait the other Golf Now golfer to share the cart.

But he let other walk-in single golfers to ride carts individually.

He let me take the cart when my scheduled tee time had passed and I complained.

However, he brought the other golfer who checked in late to the green of hole No.1 after I had teed off.

He was a cigar smoker. He never took off cigars during the play even though I coughed and told him I didn`t smoke.

I played here on Saturday (10/21) and was able to book an early tee time @ 6:40 (fast play). There were a couple of groups ahead of us who maintained good pace throughout. We were 3 of us and completed the round in less than 4 hours.

The course itself was in good shape with well-maintained fairways although the rough around fairways could be better. Interestingly, there weren't any bunkers. Most of the holes have wide fairways except a couple which are narrow. My favorite hole is 17th where the hole location is down the hill (200 yrds, par 3) and trust me it feels very good when your tee shot lands on the green.

There is a small snack bar with quite a bit items on the menu and of course BEER. The staff were very friendly and I am pretty sure I will be playing there more often.
