Horrible pace of play

Too many players jammed up and too many walkers

I feel they grossly overcharged for golf cards so too many golfers walk instead .

Additionally, the brake systems on the carts simply will not hold.

Had a great time with my wife and our 2 teens

The course is well cared for and staff is friendly. The layout is fun and some holes are quite challenging but all are doable for intermediate and beginners. Laid back vibe and other golfers very chill. Slows down the last few holes like most places.

Will be back.

Wetter than usual

They water too much and there was more mud than usual. The greens were decent but a few are showing signs of disease and/or a recent oil-leaking mower.

We always play hot deal and walk, so it's hard to beat.

Ok

The course is pretty decent. Typical course weaving through a housing track. Nice restaurant and bar.

Pretty expensive for what it is, premium rate for a mid tier course. Cart not included in price, $22 for a bucket of range balls ( worn out mat) probably will golf elsewhere Encinitas Ranch, Temecula creek, Rancho Benardo are all better.

Green are back

They finally figured out the water issues and the greens are getting back in better shape so the course is in decent shape and the pace was pretty good.

Great day of golf

Only negative would be the braking on rented golf carts

Also do not appreciate the programming of the golf carts—they would not drive where you would normally go.
