I guess early dementia has set in? Disregard the Rancho Del Sol as I know I live in Fairfield at Rancho Solano. Man.

Anyways played twilight last evening on a beautiful evening up here for $35 w cart and could have walked (probably would have got lost) for $22.

Course in great shape at the moment as the weather has been great lately.

Tee boxes fine.

Fairways wide good roll and lies all round.

Traps could have used some raking but it was late and I guess to be expected in rough shape.

Greens are large but in nice speedy shape. Finally understand the elevations and undulations of many of them the more I play. Helps to eliminate 3 putts when knowing where to land to avoid them.

Great service as always from the shop.

Its a great public course that gets a lot of play but the keep it great shape.

Love living 1 mile from the clubhouse especially this time of the year.

It has been awhile since our last visit and frankly my recollections of the difficulty of the course might be a bit off now that we are more familiar with the course.

Last time, it was called 'mission impossible' due to the difficulty of the terrain and greens.
This time, we actually enjoyed the course and had a couple good scores.

Bag drop was closeby and we just carried our bags in. They had mats for driving range with Callaway practice balls. Also had some limited flight range balls for long hitters.
Starter and staff were professional and helpful. Locker rooms clean and stocked.

Practice greens were nice and rolled true to stimp of 11.
It was a warm day so we opted to ride. Carts have plush seats with gps and distances to pins on them.

Course was pretty busy. Started on time and finished in 4 hours.

Greens rolled nicely and I can see how difficult the greens can be depending on pin placements. Certain spot with big gradients will be impossible to putt to. Glad the super placed the pins in friendly spots.

Fairways have good coverage. Rough was not too penalizing.
Drinking water was provided and carts have bottled water.

Overall, a fun day and worth the trip.
Thank you and see you next time.

I noticed that Upland Hills has not been reviewed for awhile, so here is the latest.
Played at 12:30 on Sunday afternoon. I live in Upland, but I haven't played here in a year because the price has been a bit ridiculous on the weekends. The fact that the price was less when I booked the tee time should've been a red flag, but I took the bait.

I'm not sure why this course has gone downhill, but I was really disappointed. First of all, the staff was friendly and we did start on time which was the best part of the day. As for the course, I knew we were in for a "rough" round after my first shot. I was just off the fairway and was lucky to find my ball in the 10 inches of uncut mess. All the mowers here must be broken down, because every hole was the same. The fairways were like light rough and the rough was a jungle. Some places over a foot deep. We lost at least 5 balls not more than 5 feet off the fairways. There is no excuse for this at all. Most all the bunkers were in horrible shape with very little sand an hard as nails. There were a few that were not that bad as well. The tee boxes were ok but not great either. The greens were the best part of the course, but were not cut and were very slow. I've been playing faster greens lately, and it was really tough to get the ball to the hole.

All in all, the POP was good even with everyone complaining about losing balls in the jungle. If you found the fairway, it was much more fun. I won't be back here until the super in charge of the course starts doing a better job. If you decide to play here before that, don't use your premium golf balls unless you can stripe it down the narrow fairways.

Well, that's my review of Upland Hills. I paid $55 and it wasn't worth $30 right now IMO.
I get that it's been hot and you don't want the course to die, but not cutting regularly causes more scalping of the grass and actually does more harm than good.

Haven't played in 45 days. Nine holes early Saturday round $19 to walk 1:25 pop.
Review mostly to up the ratings. In great summer conditions. Grass growing n areas usually only seen in the soggy rain seasons. Meaning better use of water resources. Better placement of tee markers for level spot with turf helps too. It's all about the greens here. Rolling smooth and not quit... » More

Review mostly to up the ratings. In great summer conditions. Grass growing n areas usually only seen in the soggy rain seasons. Meaning better use of water resources. Better placement of tee markers for level spot with turf helps too. It's all about the greens here. Rolling smooth and not quite as tight with summer heat.
Got the honor of raising the flag. Days are getting shorter. Good to be back in NorCal
