Great Course and Value

Cresta Verde is a great course for all handicappers. The fairways are wide enough for the high handicap and the design and length is great for the low handicap. PLayed today and the pace of play was great, as usual. Given the drought, the course is in amazing condition. They have their own well so the fairways and greens are really green. No paint! Several of the tees are elevated as are several of the greens making this a very fun course to play. The cost here is what I consider to be on the low side when you look at the competion and quality of the course. If you have never played Crest Verde or if you haven't played there in some time get out to Corona and say hello to the staff, MeHee, Gina and Mike, they make the experience the best.

I drive from Huntington Beach to play this course and see the team at Cresta Verde.

Great Course Great People!

I've been playing at this course for over 3 years. This course is both challenging and open if that makes sense. There are a couple holes that are narrow but for the most part it's open however the elevation changes are what gets you. It's true that 7 & 8 aren't in the best shape, however I will say that since I've started playing here the greens have been redone and they have sunk a ton of money into the fairways. The tee boxes are next according to course management, and they're really working hard to restore the course to it's former glory. The fully lit driving range is great for the winter months when it's dark by 5:30 and well the 19th hole has pretty awesome food and great drinks... (Gina makes a grilled cheese that'll change your life!) I'll contine to play here and watch the improvements. Give them a try!

great value/great staff

Great staff, friendly, accommodating and genuine. Vast improvement over last 2-3 years by current management. More improvement is needed and there seems to be genuine effort to continue improvements. Good value for the everyday golfer or duffer like myself

Great course this is the best value in souther California for your money

This is a great course that will challenge your golf skills. The greens are true and they are will kept. The fare ways are in good condition and no two are laid out the same.

The staff is very friendly and help full. The snack bar is small but the food and drinks are very good. (Try a Hot Dog).

Please, boycott this course

Before leaving my house, I discovered I had left my golf shoes outside. They had gotten wet from a morning rain. I threw the shoes in the dryer then call the starter (who I think is the golf course manager, too). I told the manager 'I'm drying my wet shoes, I may be 15 to 30 minutes late'. The starter advised me I would be charged for additional cart fee. ?????

A good place to play

The value for your money is the best part in playing this course. The greens are well kept but they are starting to let the other areas go. With better upkeep this could be a great course

Good Value

I like this course for its value.

The course was in better shape than expected given the lack of rain.

The greens were actually in very good shape.

One doesn't go here for the amenities.

The club house is minimal.

However, surprisingly the snack bar food is pretty good and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Maintenance...

The grounds are in really bad shape. I won't play here again unless it turns around. There are far too many courses around the area that keep up there fairways and greens for around the same price or less.

Exceptional

After reading some of the reviews that were written about this course I had to give my assessment. I have played some of the best golf courses around the world and I must say this course is very unique in its own way. It all starts with the staff and they are the most friendly and obliging I have ever met. Then there's the course. This course has come along way from the first time I played here. Under the new management team they have showed what a golf course can be and has achieved that goal without hesitation. Lets just say it's a work in progress. I would not hesitate to invite the many golfing friends I have to play here. Now, a few more comments about the reviews. We all have our opinions however, some of these are beyond the pale. Keep up the good work Cresta Verde and I will continue to play your wonderful course.

Poor staff

Let me say this 1st, I have been around this country and played many courses all over. I have never ever been treated the way I was. If I were anyone, I would stay away completely. There are many other courses out there. Let's start off here. Everything started off great. Got decent rental clubs bucket of practice balls. Started on tee 1 around 1230. I caught up to a fellow that just started playing bout 4 months prior to this day. I taught him a few things but let's say, our pace wasn't that fast. But there was no one behind us or in front of us. Practically empty. We just got on 11. Teed off, got to green and green was completely covered due to irration. So we decided to skip 11 thru 14. 15 thru 18 were good. Played those then went on to 11 to finish up. Mind you course is completely empty. I got chased Dow as I was teeing off on 12. Saying how many holes have you played. I said well due to the irration process we had to come back and finish 11 thru 14. He gets on phone with some lady who did not care in the least. We been out there 5 hrs. Blah blah blah. So I get back to the club house and basically called her every name in the book. I got screwed out of 60 dollars cause they shorted me 3 holes. But regardless, the course was not that great. I played much better courses that were same or cheaper in price. I am a 11 handicap, so not the worse golfer out there. I know a good course when I see one. I am a very nice respectfull person who will not get treated with disrespect!!!

Course condition has improved over the last 6 months

This is a great course if you like a golf course that has several unique challenges but non of them are so difficult that you have to be a pro to score well.

Greens are in great condition and roll true.

It usually takes about 3:30 from start to finish for a group of 3 or 4.

The staff is really friendly and gets to know you and go out of their way to make you want to come back.

slow play

I was there by myself. there was a twosome in front of me that were slow, and did not let me play through. When I requested to play through, they refused and said the groups ahead of them were slow, which were not. I had to skip a hole and then continued in fast pace.
