Stayed and played at the Marriott over LAbor Day Weekend. (The wife and I took advantage of a $200 per night + unlimited golf pakage). I played the Valley course twice on sunday (a.m. and p.m.). I was a bit surprised at the bare spots in fairways and just off the greens. The greens were somewhat sandy, but mostly fine. I shot my best score ever (76 from the whites) by myself while playing a solo round in less than two hours (good thing too as it was 102 degrees)..

Two positive comments:

1) the pro shop and starters were fantastic and polite.
2) the water from the fountains is especially good. They give you a cup and a coole rof ice and you just fill up every 3 holes.

Played here twice recently (4.10 & 4. 13). I really like this course layout. The rough was especially penal, but I think there should be a penalty for hitting it crooked. Both rounds were played quickly and the course conditions were fantastic. Used my OC golftrail card for discount. Is probably a bit pricey for me, but worth it if you have the cash.

Played today with my wife. I am a 14 handicap; she is an average player; here are my thoughts:

CONDITIONS:
tee boxes: fine, a few divots, but otherwise good shape
fairways: very good. Still surprised how many players refuse to sand their divots at even the nicest courses. I used an entire canister on hole #6 while walking up the fairway.
greens: very nice. Rolled a bit fast, but uniform and even from 1-18. Lots of tough reads due to swales and slopes on green; i must have lipped 5-6 putts today. I really enjoyed the torture.

STAFF: top notch from bag drop to range to pro shop to marshals to cart girl. they treated us respectfully and with promptness all day.

PRACTICE AREA: maybe the best I've ever seen. Multiple putting greens; driving range was pricey ( i still get bothered when expensive courses don't include a bucket of balls with the green fee, but oh well).

COURSE DIFFICULTY: not a tough course at all. The landing areas are VERY generous. I played from the "gold" tees (what would be 'blue' tees at most courses) and hit 12 of 14 fairways, which is certainly above my average. Very playable track from tee to green, but 35 putts was way too many. I should have scored better, but that's my fault not the course.

VALUE: We only paid half price thanks to a gift certificate so it made it worthwhile. Can't say I'd ever pay full price, but if I ever could find a way to pay less than $100 I'd go back.

OVERALL: good track, not difficult for players of most skill levels...slightly overpriced, but solid customer service and the attention to conditions was impressive.

Played here for the first time yesterday (12/15). Weather conditions were fantastic (68 degrees and sunny). Here are my thoughts on the course:
-driving range really needs some new mats (torn up and threadbare) and decent balls (beat up mixture of yellow and white really feels tacky). This is my only real complaint. I just think it sets a bad first impression with the customer. It really made me wonder why I was spending $70...
-customer service and marshalls were great. The starter was informative and humorous. Themarshalls were consistent and helpful.
-course conditions were a bit spotts (lots of dead grass and mushy spots, but hey it is the middle of december--i'd like to see how this plays is in its prime
-a few greens were still affected by some sort of fungus, but we mangaed to play around it
-the layout is nice. 1-2 reachable par 5s, but the others are definite 3 shot holes. Good use of water. The course sets up especially nice for me on the back nine where the whole thing is a big left turn. SLicers could have problems here. Several slight elevation changes and a few blind tee shots and approaches make club selection tough at times (especially or a first timer).
-we paid $70 for a saturday round but it may have been discounted since it was a company tournament, but I am not sure. It was worth it because it was a great day.
-pace of play was fine...about 4:45 (not bad for a tournament round).

My buddies and I had two tee times today (10 and 10:08). This was my second time playing the course (but first time was four years ago so I felt like a newbie). Here are my thoughts:
pro shop/staff: fine
tee boxes: good
fairways: very nice
greens: they aerated almost two weeks ago so they were still pretty bumpy/sandy/firm. It was a big day for the bump and run. Still, the greens are the highlight of this course. Very contoured and challenging.
layout: a lot of room, tons of waste areas, toughest work is found around the greens. Buying the yardage book proved very helpful since none of us had much course knowledge.
amenities: pretty sparse...lacks a real clubhouse...practice range ok...cart girls came around 3-4 times (plenty for us).

We had a great day...weather was fantastic (78-80 degrees, no wind)...I'm a 17 index (shot an 87) and really found the course thought provoking at times. Found myself wishing I could do an immediate replay because there are certain holes I would have played differently.

Overall I recommend this course for its value (even though it is quite a drive.

Played here on 6/23 and 6/29. The good: Well worth the price. weather was fantastic and I find the course pretty challenging attimes (especially holes #2, 5, 6, 10, 13, 15, 17). The bad: pace of play is pretty slow. I expect it however at a cheap municipal course. You just have to know going in what to expect. The ugly: The sand (and I use that word loosely) traps. Greenside bunkers are actually dirt moreso than sand. Impossible to hit out of. On #10, I simply took an unplayable stroke and dropped next to bunker. Oddly, many of the fairway bunkers have better sand.

Anyways, I will play again and again because it is close to home, inexpensive and fun for a relaxing round.

Played here on 7/2 (at discounted rate thanks to a buddy who won the teetime thru an auction of some kind). I really like the layout of the course. Driver is uneccesary on several holes and approach shots are difficult due to areas of trouble around green (bunkers, grass bunkers, tough rough, etc...). The only complaint I have is the condition of the greens. We were told they were aerated about a month ago, but they were still pretty sandy and although they are not bumpy, they are very SLOW.

Excellent staff from valet to pro shop to starter to cart girls. Everyone was first class and helpful.

played on internet special ($50) this morning. Beautiful weather made it a VERY enjoyable day. Greens and f'ways were fine. All tee boxes were closed except white (and they were pretty beat up). Cart path only due to overseeding, but that's the price we pay to play year-round. I don't mind the extra walk. Great service all around and the greens held especially nice today. Great place to play!!

Pace of play can be ruined by tournaments, but the course is in excellent shape. Don't pay full price...ever.

Played on saturday 4/30 on my way to Vegas. Fairways were in pretty rough condition; luckily, it was cheap and my twosome played in 3.5 hours. Worth it...i guess.
