Fun but slow

Very playable course with a helpful staff. Played on a Saturday mid-morning and play was slow. No evidence of marshals. Overall, would play again and recommend to others.

Great Looking course for fair price

The course is in great condition all the tee boxes and greens were perfect and the bunkers had good sand. I was able to play a morning round of 18 in 3 hours with one other person it was pretty open. I think the location causes less traffic on the course but if it isn’t in a bad spot for you then I would highly recommend!

Not worth $119

Greens are slow and patchy. Fairways are ok but could be better..was told a rumor that $3 million was invested into course. Probably was a rumor because I didn't see it other than they have new carts

This course is probably $80 to $90 dollar course

Great layout and fun course to play.

The front nine greens were in great shape. The back nine greens had some rough spots and could use some care. Fairways were great. Sand traps were in great shape. Tee boxes could use some care. Overall I liked this course and will play here again.

Felt Rushed !!!

Took a first time golfer friend of mine to play the course . Lovely course but there was no drinks available while playing and no Marshall .

Perhaps a Marshall is not needed but people need to be told when not to hit into someone and have some sort of control out there .

Course in Excellent Condition

Go and enjoy excellent greens (soft and receptive), fluffy sand traps (except where sprinklers have dampened), level tee boxes, good fairways and thick rough. Many doglegs and California oak trees can be found. Pace of play was under 3.5 hours. Pleasant experience….

Under New Ownership

This was a regular course my friends and I played until recently acquired by Pala Casino. The increase in green fees was a turn off at first, but after some time it has proven to be beneficial. Upgraded driving range, state of the art golf carts, and by pushing away the people less willing to pay the price the conditions improved in the greens and fairways. I still believe this is a course that should be in the $80 range, especially with so many better options near by. Fun none the less.

Lovely day on the course

Great friendly staff. Got a bucket of balls to hit at the driving range then hit my tee time early and had the Back nine to myself. Then played the front nine to myself until the 4 and 5th holes and really enjoyed playing this course.

Won’t be back to this one !!

First time playing here, and my last.

Gardeners on every fairway, every green, and tee boxes were in tough shape. I was being followed by gardeners every hole and following some at the same time. I understand they’re doing their job, but on every hole??

The guy at the pro shop was rude and clearly didn’t want to be there, waited to check in for 15 minutes inside the pro shop while he hung out outside talking to his buddies.

Very unfortunate.
