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!!!

Fun course to play.

The condition of the course is not very good, but it is a fun course to play. There are enough challenging holes to make even the most experienced golfer happy.

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.

Rush job

Guy behind the counter won't give us the key to our cart until 11:52 which was our tee time. No one was on the box for 20 minutes in front of us. Then he told us we had to hurry because they had a shotgun starting on hole #6 in one hour. Was very frustrating.

Glad it was a Hot Deal

Got a Hotdeal for this course and certainly glad i didnt pay full price. I arrived early for my tee time because I wanted to practice a bit of chipping and putting. It had rained earlier and rain was just stopping. When I checked in the fellow looked at me and when he found out I was on a Hotdeal he said he wouldnt be able to get me out til later. There was no one else on the course or in the club house looking to play. I shrugged and went to the practice green which afforded limited space to practice chipping. After about 40 minutes i went back and he said i would have to wait until another Golf Now golfer showed up. Which happened a few minutes later when two more HotDealers showed up. He said the three of us could go out together. Which we did. I split off on my own after two holes and was done in under 3 hours because the course was empty..

Course is interesting but has suffered from lack of care. Greens are ok, tee boxes and fairways patchy and rough.

WILL NOT PLAY IT AGAIN EVEN IF IT IS FREE

Let me preface by saying that due to injuries I sustain in combat, I have a difficult time walking. On this day I wanted to warm up and because their Driving range is at the bottom of a hill, I requested to sign up for the cart, early. And the starter told me that it was not allowed. I explain the situation and I even pointed out that there was a cart already at the driving range. My words fell in deaf ears. I walked away and waited for my t-time. On February 9th 2016 I made a t-time and when I got off the freeway the traffic was bumper to bumper. I called the golf course to let them know that I was being delayed. When I arrived to Hamner Ave./N. main and E. Parkridge ave., in Norco, The whole area was closed off due to Police activity. I later found out from a police officer that there was a bomb threat in one of the shopping centers and the was no way of getting to the golf course. I called the golf course again only to be confronted by a "Godzilla" who was only interested in hearing herself speak. She did not care what the situation was and she was not going to find out because it was outside of he scope. Bottom line, if you get here, you will get a ride to where the golfer we pair you with is at.
The time was lost and the golf course pocketed the money. I am SP and I would like to ask any Vets not to play this course. There are may other golf coursed that will treat us and respect us better than Cresta Verde Golf Course. If you are any of my personal friends, I urge you to do the same.
I WILL NOT PLAY THIS COURSE AGAIN EVEN IF IT IS FREE.
Thank you

There are always 2 sides to every story. That being said, I find it deplorable that you went through the efort of finding out how much money this person spent over the previous months/years. If you don't like Golfnow clients, then don't keep your relationship with Golfnow! It was very petty holding how little this patron has paid against him. Having read multiple other reviews with complaints about things that can't be found at other courses, like not allowing carts to be rented untill the tee time is absurd. Or making a Golfnow client wait for other Golfnow members to come in so you can make them play together, instead of allowing the person to tee off alone at THEIR scheduled time, tc!

My question is was this person of some oriental ? Reason I am asking is because I had a few words with her today as she shorted me 4 holes due to irrigating being done.

Mr. Espinoza, let me start by stating that I have numerous friends who are Veterans, and I respect them to no end. I also want to clarify, that the golf course did not “pocket” any monies from you – not yesterday, not ever. In fact, after I saw your review, I talked to Golfnow, and they said they gave you a $15 voucher or credit for a future round at any golf course booked through them for the golf you missed yesterday. I also checked our records, and out of the 25 rounds of golf you have played here at Cresta Verde Golf Course since February of 2015, the total green/cart fees paid to us is $170. The monies you paid for the remaining 19 rounds were paid to Golfnow. We try very hard to accommodate all of our golfers, but we obviously can’t please everyone. As far as what happened yesterday, we first gave you a courtesy call and you said you would be 10 minutes late. The other single golfer was nice enough to wait the 10 minutes beyond your mutual tee time. You then called about police activity and I tried to give you alternate directions, but you didn’t know your cross streets. Offering to drive you out to the other single golfer was an attempt to work with you, not to offend you, and you would have been able to play the holes you missed after your round. It is interesting to me that you gave us such a scathing review when you didn’t even golf here after we waited for you, and Golfnow credited you for the round.

4 1/2 Hour Round On A Saturday Morning!!!!

I'd never played this course before. I was pleasantly surprised, it was a cool morning out, but the course was empty. We played as a threesome and finished in less than 4.5 hours. Looking forward to playing there again.
