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.

Give it a shot.

I primarily play anywhere in the I.E., Palm Springs area, and Menifee/Hemet/Temecula area. So, I'm a visitor of many courses. Nice and not so nice. I've enjoyed playing Cresta Verde. I actually played it 2 weeks in a row. The price is slightly above what I feel a course in its condition deserves. About $35 seems reasonable. I payed $39 on GN. Greens are green, but there are trouble spots in them. They don't run real true either, there are bumps and they are uneven. Tee boxes are about a 6/10. Some of the fairways are brown, thin, and patchy. Any area away from the fairway must be avoided. Bunkers are non-existent and over grown with grass. This place needs a lot of TLC. I do enjoy it's layout. The fact that I can get out right away and finish a round quick is a plus. Also helps that the lady who checks us in (Asian) is so nice. A real Sweetheart. Overall, the course is about a 6/10. I'm sure I'll be back.

Right course for the price.

Cresta Verde was an average course. The layout was nice but some fairways and greens needed some TLC for aesthetic appeal. The staff were very accommodating. This was a nice average course for the Hot Deal price we paid. I would probably play here again but not anytime soon.

Needs TLC

Pace was excellent. Greens & fairways need a lot of TLC. Good value for the money if you want to use all of your clubs and realize there will be some speed-bumps on the greens. At least you will know what your getting for $20 or less. People were very friendly in the clubhouse (snack counter). Beer was cold.

Good value if under $20

Nice layout, lots of challenges, some holes are in bad shape. Dirt fairways. Very bumpy, kept loosing stuff out of the cart. Still a good value if under $20. I wouldn't pay anymore. We play new courses all the time and we won't go back anytime soon but I would recommend this course for a first time only under $20 in current condition.

Bad greens and worse staff

The day started well enough with a 6am tee time but the course was very wet and the greens were soaked. Wasn't expecting too much but the tee boxes were mangled and there was crab grass throughout each green which was very disappointing. We had a good time as pace of play was the best part only to return to the rudest woman working the snack bar. We stopped after 9 and very friendly but then we we're told she was going to ban us after 18 because one of our 4 had a canned beer (not purchased there). She grabbed it from his hand at the clubhouse and said "I can leagally do this!" Then got aggressive about it when we picked up clubs to leave. Very strange day from a course that was partially maintained at best.

Play at your leisure but be aware that's all.

Better than working

The course is average. The homes around the course are an eye sore. Someone actually let their dog out to potty on the course while I was teeing off. I didn't want to hit the dog so I waited , but how classless. Other than the things you can't control this was a good experience. The staff was very very friendly. I will return for sure. The price is fair and the course is fine for what you pay.

Appalling and pathetic golf course

This is definitely the worst course in the area. The staff do not know anything about golf, the course conditions are embarrassing, the clubhouse is unattractive. For any price, this course should be avoided unless you are not a golfer and just want to hack around. The experience is terrible and I will never return to this course again. I have sent a mass email to all my golfing friends in the area and sadly they agree. I wish I paid attention to some of the reviews before booking a round.

Let us assume that you skip the clubhouse and staff and just focus on the course. The greens are slow and damaged. The fairways are filled with dead grass, the bunkers have no sand feel like concrete. The tee boxes are filled with weeds and so attractive, I felt like I needed gloves on both hands to enter them. Whoever runs this place has turned this old course into an embarrassment of a course. Regrettable.

If you are a true golfer, I would definitely avoid this place no matter what the price. Yes, you will pay more elsewhere but given the true ignorance of the staff that do not know anything about golf, it is best to play at other course in Corona. For example, try Eagle Glen just south on 15. You will thank me.

It's too bad...

The course has possibilities but the condition of some of the fairways is horrendous! The bunkers are hardpan, and the greens could use some tlc. The staff is friendly but obviously it must be a financial concern they can't overcome to overhaul the course. I only play here when I can get a "hot deal" which for me is a couple of dollars more than a large bucket of range balls at some courses.

Love the layout, course needs some love

I've been playing here for 12 years. Love this layout and variety of holes. Course has seen better days. Fairways had some rough areas and the bunkers are more like craters with hard pack. Greens were ok. Still was a fun round. Good value for the price.

Needs more love...

After not playing this course in years, I decided to give it a try last Sunday (4-30) based on reviews that the course was improving. Unfortunately I have to say it's not quite there yet. I used to play this course on a regular basis when it was in much better shape. It's a shame because it is a fun layout with interesting holes.

First off let me start by saying the pace of play was excellent since we were one of the first groups to tee off at 6am and there was no one in front of us. The price is just about right considering the shape of the course. The fairways were patchy with some bald spots and the rough was kind of a mixed bag. The sand traps were a joke as they were hard as rocks and I noticed that some bunkers had been taken out. The greens were in OK shape but were in desperate need of a cut. Some greens were completely saturated with water even though they were in the sun all day!

Overall I was happy with my round and I shot a decent score, but I will wait to play it again until I here better reviews.

Course Conditions Rough

Played this course and was very displeased with the way it played. It would have been a fantastic course but the only gripe is the awful fairway conditions. Half the time it felt like trying to hit off of concrete, the other half it felt like hitting off of crab grass. Everything is so dried out and dead out there that it made me appreciate the better kept courses in the area. Other than that. If the course was actually well maintained or rejuvenated to the point where it had some life to it, i would have enjoyed it. The course lay out is challenging, but the major downer is the conditions. Tee boxes are in bad shape, greens aren't kept or pressed, and the fairways are roughs, and the roughs are overgrown weeds...
