Fairway needs maintenance/water

New green complex is fun to play. Fairway needs better maintenance and water. It is very hard to hit a ball because less/no grass.

Terrible Experience

The course is completely dead on every level from tee to green. The pace of play is atrocious, we had to leave after the 4th hole because there were two full groups waiting to tee off. There are tee shots with trees directly in your path. The newly renovated greens are impossible to keep a ball on and are so firm they feel like concrete.

THE COURSE FAIRWAYS SUCK

2/08/2022

When a person is calling for a tee time, they should be informed that the Bermuda grass is not reseeded and not watered. This should be said just like when they punch the Greens. When the 2 of us got there, we had already paid 130.00 for 2 players no discount and the fairways were like hitting off asphalt and hard pan dirt. I asked about a discount and they stated no. I think the management should give discounts to unsuspecting out of towners that read the course was redone and it shows all the fairways nice and green, until you get there and its all-brown grass everywhere. This is the first time I have ever gave a review, but it should be stated they are stealing from the public because of their decision not to water the fairways.

Thank you taking the time to read this,

Fairways are poorly managed

All the fairways had little grass so it was like hitting irons on the bare ground..

Fast greens

Course needs work. That said, the greens are spectacular. This has so much potential to be an amazing course. They neglect the fairways beyond belief and seem to really only care about the greens. If you don’t mind hitting off of dead grass every shot, this course is for you. Tough to pure irons here due to hard ground, but that being said the ball rolls out on the fairway an extra 50 yards. Was hitting drives 350, and 3 wood 300 yards off the tee. Keep that in mind if you play here. All in all, the course is okay

Stay below the hole!!

Fairways are dead, so great bounces on fairway finders, but also tight lies all day. Can’t wait to come back once the green grass returns. Fun, challenging layout with some forgiveness if you spray one here and there.

But the greens….wow. FAST and hilly. Probably rolling around 11.5 or 12 yesterday. No such thing as a flat putt to be found. And if you miss a downhill putt with some momentum, you may find yourself off the green. But, you can also putt from 30 yards off the green on many holes, which may be the better play right now!

Great staff and excellent food as well!

See you in the spring!

First time playing here. Staff was friendly, had a club tourney ahead of us holding us up a bit. This course was really fun and will challenge you as a golfer.

No grass

I was excited about the recent renewal of the greens and bunkers. But the tee boxes and fairways are basically dirt. The ground was so hard that you couldn’t even take a divot to get under the ball. They are cleanly saving money on water because what is the point in watering if there is no grass anyways. For a 75$ peak hour tee time I would expect to be hitting off of grass. Back to the new greens, they are very tough. Some of the hole locations are nearly impossible.

Course renovation not worth the more expensive greens fees.

Green changes are awesome. You better hit it to the right spot or 2 putts will be very difficult. Looks like they're getting ready to overseed the fairways so they're a little crunchy and tight lies. All around its in good shape and I will definitely play again and will recommend it to others.

Potential to become a better course

After renovation in 2021 the greens are in perfect condition. Pretty fast and demanding. New bunkers with deep and pretty soft sand are also difficult to play if you are not used to it. Unfortunately the fairways and areas around the greens need to be optimised. The ground is very dry and hard. The grass is brown. Speed of Play was ok. Stuff very kind and helpful. The course has potential to be developed to a better one.

Ramona Hideaway

I foresee some great opportunities for San Vincente Golf Club, though the course on the day I played was challenging the conditions of the course are promising, the fairways appeared to be dry and the greens were sprayed green, it will be awesome in wet conditions, and promising for dry conditions, the ball rolls out, the greens are very hilly, very few flat lays which could equate to a frustrating round, but if played as few times will change you as a golfer and how to play the course. All in all the course is promising.

Worth playing

The course was a fun layout and well maintained. It can get really windy around there, so watch the forecast when booking. The greens were pretty challenging - very fast and lots of slope.

Poor fairways conditions this round

Fairways were dry and barren. Very difficult to hit the ball. Difficult course as it is made it twice as difficult.

Wish I would have had a heads up on course conditions. It was much nicer last time I played here (back in Aug)

I will have to check with the pro shop next time

Glad I got a discounted rate or it would have been a waste of money
