Fun track

This course was in excellent condition, greens rolled true, fun track for my first time. I’m excited to play again. It was worth the 40 miles to travel from my home and good value for the money! Great food and the staff was so nice.

Cheap golf!

My son and I got too hot deal passes on golf now and played this great executive course for $10.99 each! Nothing less expensive around! The course was in great condition! Never waited at all, played with another fellow, who was a super nice guy, enjoyed our selves immensely! And again for $10.99. Can’t beat it!

Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone about this place

Seriously THE best staff, carts, and course layout of any exec course in SoCal. A totally hidden gem that is great if you’re playing with families and new players, small groups, and even just getting to know the local neighbors.

The Pro staff is super chill and not stuffy like other courses.

If you want a longer course, The Links is a great option too and is a partner course within a mile of the Exec.

Pretty sure I play here 3-5 times per month and it’s always a good time.

Great Round

Was my buddies B-Day, so it was my treat.

Started on time.

Pace of play was ok.

Took 2 1/2 hrs to play all 18.

Some sections still soggy from recent heavy rains.

Forgot my hat, but got great customer service from cart return gentlemen. (gave me a hat from lost & found)

Had one of my best rounds ever this time out!!!

Great shape

The course is in great condition. I didn't like having so many fairways closed to golf carts. I have a bad hip so it made it more difficult for me. I also was paired with 3 other golfers, 2 of which were very slow. We were 30 minutes over by the time we finished.
