Played well, good conditions (Except the many unlevel tee boxes and one of the green's whole left side was roped off.). All the greens seemed to have the pins on slants or huge breaks. Pretty challenging.
But the pace was horrible on the front, almost 3 hours!!!
The price was good if you didn't take a cart, but 12 bucks a person for a cart is harsh!!! Most places charge that much for one rider, but just because you add another they double the price, what a croc!!!
I'm walking next time, and making sure to argue with anygroup ahead of me who is giving lessons to their buddy on the tee, to keep up the pace. (Yeah, you two guys, I'm coming at you next time!!)
Oh yeah, watch out for the summer campers on the practice range, they get a little loud and they often run out on the range if their ball barely dribbles out there!

In Great condition for a public course. Didn't seem overplayed and look well manicured. Greens were in good condition. Some tee boxes beat up, but wasn't a problem.
Very good course for high handicappers, but wasn't frustrating. Not too many hazards or shots needed where you had to clear a huge gap.
Good length 3 pars, including one over water. 4 Pars demanded good tee shots and change of elevation on the front made it challenging for low handicappers. Pace was awesome, no hold up at any point.
Service was very good, but the range only had about 15 slots and you could only use irons due to it's shortness. Didn't really have a clubhouse with a resturant, just a snack bar with a patio.
Check it out if you are willling to drive to San Bernadino.

Played guest (Thank You Greater San Fernando Golf Tour) in a 3 day tournament (Practice, Tournament and Scramble) and the course(s) looked great, except some of the tees (kinda lumpy and tore up.). The greens were pretty fast, but held up on mid-iron shots. Very tricky to read. Everyone talked about how everything ran down from the east hills and mountains, but you still never knew for sure. As said in an earlier post, the rough is severe!!! You could know where your ball fell and still have to look pretty hard to find it in the deep stuff. Pace kinda sucked due to tourney rules and the high-indexes losing their balls.

The Stonehouse course is really tough. Huge elevation changes, plus the Temecula pass sends in crazy winds and overcast skies. #6 had to be the hardest hole out of all 27. The hardest, but also the slowest 9 out of the courses.

The Creek course was in great condition (except the tee boxes), and played pretty easy compared to the Stonehouse. Great track with trees and sand in places always to make it challenging. Great grip it and rip it course, lots of long par fours and challenging 5 pars.

Oaks was probably the best course with an even amount of challenging holes, but gave a high-handicapper (like me) a chance to get some good scores. The course had a great par 3 with water surrounding it on both sides.

Facilities were nice, but the range mats were old and tore up. The putting green was immaculate! Great resort for a weekend tourney, the staff was great. Package included unlimited golf and range. 3 days/ 2 nights, banquet, plus Pechenga Casino was literally, down the street.

I've played Encino numerous times and today (5/29) was one of the best as for the conditions, except the greens were firm, bumpy and slow. The tough pin positions did not help my play (Couple pins tucked in the extreme rear of the green) with the molasses-like greens. Tee boxes are a little uneven, but what do you expect for a muni course played non-stop. The fairways have light aereation, no plugs, but they were rolling good on long drives. The rough was being mowed all over the course, so it was pretty clean.
Great muni course, really get to use your driver off the tee and the longer 4 pars, challenge your long game.
I think it's better than the Balboa and Woodley courses.

What a challange!!! Played from the white's (I'm a 20+) and still had a hellava time reaching the 4 pars.
Gentlemen, don't fool yourself, if you're a 15+, play from the whites, it's still long, but play took almost 6 hours, because of the foursomes of "high handicappers" were looking for their balls all morning. The yardage from blue to white is a 500 yard difference, but holes like #9 (Par 5), #16 (Par 4) and #18 (Par 4) have differences of over 50+ yds.
So make it fun for everybody, play your level to keep up the pace.

Greens were great after Aereation. Tee Boxes pretty tore up (What do you expect when a bunch of duffers play there). Play bogged down in the beginning ( d%mn Duffers), but sped up in the back. Great Value for a Muni course. Watch out for the squirrels, they often take your food.

Played 5/10 8:30am. Great layout for Grip it n' Rip it. Greens were very unpredictable. Sand seems to come into play all the time. Long par 3s from the Blues (What was my club thinking- I'm a 20+) 174, 184 & 178, killed me everytime. My rating was 6.5ish. Pretty tore up rough in some places, tee boxes pretty bad in some spots.
Hellava challenge, will go back soon with long irons ready for approch shots.

Widest range of Par of 3's I've ever played. Awesome Island hole (Watch out for the ducks and geese.) and a few short ones that can drive you nuts (120-85yds). Great elevation changes to make it fun. Played a 4-man scramble last week and had a great time (Thank You Kappa Kappa Gamma @ CSU Northridge). Will go back soon to see if I can handle it by myself. Greens ran good, despite all the ball marks. Better have a good 5 wood or 3 iron for some of the 200+ par 3's. The pitch n' putt "Chica" course is the best in the San Fernando/ Santa Clarita area. Prices are fair and range is one of few that are lit near me.
