2nd time around

This was the 2nd time on the course. And it's now it's in my top 5. A challenging course for sure especially when a resident plays fetch in the middle of the fairway of the 11th hole . Yikes . All in all great staff and great time.

Horrible

The golf course is in horrible shape and someone broke into our car when it was parked next to the club. This is supposed to be a gaited community, but there is zero security. Golf is crapy and the security sucks. Don't waste your time and money.

seen better days

This is a very good layout ... bring plenty of balls because there's a LOT of water, often hidden, so best to play with someone who knows the course. Very varied--you never have the sense you've played the same hole twice. The homes seem right in the middle of the fairway at times!

Ok value for the cost. And you can get a tee time early enough to finish a round before dark.

THE.WORST.EVER!

The staff is friendly, good discount on draft beers, Putting greens were not too bad - but the Course and Practice areas are in dismal shape. Save your money.

No back 9

I booked in the morning, was not made aware that only front 9 was being played. When finished the front which was slow play the back 9 which was the second 9 on the front was even slower so did not complete 18 holes.

Course was not in very good shape. Lots of areas where there was no grass. Greens were pretty good. Back nine was closed due to heavy rain coming down from LA. Will not play again….

Over booked

Got to course to check in and my tee time was moved back 10 minutes and the back nine was closed. Needless to say to play the front nine a second time was a diaster. Only got 14 holes in. Pace of play on first nine was fine. Just little long due to layout.
