Better condition than ever before

We have payed this course several times last year and this was the best condition we have seen on the course. Obviously, the grounds staff have been doing a great job with lots of clearing of brush, good drainage and clean fairways. The girls in the shop were extremely friendly, inviting and efficient. They really made everyone feel welcome and a part of the club. The hot dogs were great. We would definitely return again and recommend this course to others. Great value for the cost.

Dont Play

Read the recent reviews and they claimed that the course was in good shape and greens were good, not the case. This course is beat up, greens had dead and bald spots on it, tee boxes were long grass or dirt, most fairways were bald or dirt, and speed of play was awful. It took 3 1/2 hours to play the front 9, and then 30 min to play 10 and 11, we left after that, it was going to turn into a 7 hour round of golf. It was not fun. No marshall to direct play or try to speed things up, it wasnt till after our group and another group quit for them to relize maybe we should send some one out there. Do not recommend this course. The pictures do not look like the course at all

New Management / Ownership

Lauren the new Manager and I believe one of new owner, since taking over has turn this course into a very positive and very enjoyable experience. Since last time i played, fairways are much better and greens as always very very well kept.
I was very impressed by her ability to be on top of all aspects of the game of golf and her personality has been a tremendous plus. Look forward to playing again next time I am in the area

So improved over the last 2 years

Cresta Verde was a tired golf course when I first played there. Over the last 2years, greens and fairways have been worked on-overgrown out of bounds have been trimmed, and the overall course has been restored to much nicer conditions-looking much more like the course Lucy and Desi used to play!

A Hidden Gem in the Inland Empire

Cresta Verde is course that will challenge both the experienced golfer and the beginner alike. I played on a Saturday morning at 9:15 AM and the course was wide-open.

The challenge to this course is STAY IN THE MIDDLE! The rough is a combination of very thick and deep Bermuda and Tall Fescue. Even in the first cut of the rough your ball will set well below the top of the grass making it very hard to do anything other than chop it out into the fairway.

The course is narrow but wide enough, and winds through the Corona Hills at the intersection of the 15-215 freeways. Definitely a riding course unless you have great stamina. The greens are flat with little undulation and normal speed.

You will not be disappointed with Cresta Verde.

Excellent Value - Challenging Course

The greens are in good shape and the fairways are improving week over week. The layout of this course is awesome with some great elevation changes that have you hitting up to greens where you can barely see the pin, to fairways and greens that are far below the tee box.

The staff are extremely friendly. You have to try the breakfast burritos - they are fantastic!

Huge Improvement!!

I started playing this course a year ago since it was close to my home. The fairways were fair with several bald areas (hard pan) on several fairways. For the price that I paid, this course has improved dramatically!! Their fairways are trimmed properly, there was only one hole that had a few hard pans (bald area) compared to several a year ago. The owner is very friendly and accomodating, and customer service is excellent! I will definitely play this course again and probably make it my home course now.

muti-faceted test

Starts out seemingly benign the first two holes, #3 is short but drops about 50 feet tee to green making club selection key. Large sections of reed filled wetlands throughout demand attention, and shot shaping abilities. Some holes allow for bomb and wedge, then another par 3 that drops 50 or more feet to a well bunkered green. Finish with a fun par 4 with an approach over water!
Overall a challenging layout that won't beat you up, with firm greens that hold a shot and rolled true on your line. Well kept track with a friendly staff, Ian, well worth playing and you'll want to come back

Sleeper of the week!

Cresta Verde is a perfect place to golf if you're an average golfer that doesn't want to pay an arm and a leg to golf, or spend 5-6 hours playing...or waiting. The course has enough challenges to keep you from the PGA, and it's not uncommon to get out of there in 3 1/2 hours during the week...especially later in the mornings. The course conditions have definitely improved over the past few years, and the price is more than reasonable.

Great value, quick pace.

Very overlooked course. Management is continually improving the grounds and the course keeps getting better. Pace of play is usually less than four hours during the week. Staff couldn't be friendlier, can't believe the bad comments.

Hospitality and customer service keeps me coming back

I golf here just about every Monday unless I happen to golf in Irvine area with the cousin. But overall my favorite and most convenient course around. sand traps are under repair very narrow fairways so know how to hit the ball straight . And hospitality is what keeps me coming back o Ya and purely because I enjoy the game we call golf . Hope to see you all out on the course

Horrible experience not a 3 star course

I would chalk this course up to a ghetto public course trying to pose as a reputable golf course. I have never been to a course that doesn't allow you to pay for your reservation until your tee time? How is one supposed to hit the range or putting green? It was Father's Day and we had a group of five that was asked to play a scramble because they didn't want us holding anyone up. We obliged and during our play we never had anyone pressing up on us but we were having to stop and keep waiting for the groups ahead of us so we should have been allowed to play regular. There was not a Formal Marshall there but we had the guy that checked us in follow us the entire course. We confronted him and asked if there was something we were doing wrong or if we were playing too slow (which we knew we weren't) and he simply replied no I'm just keeping track of the pace of play. Felt like we were being harassed and because of that we will not be coming back to this course EVER! Too bad because they lost 5 potential clients.
