Played Sun. 10/01/2006 teed off at 1:20 and course was pretty empty. Finished in 3.5 hours, it probably had to do with them aerating the previous Monday. Greens still probably 2 weeks away from it being acceptable. Fairways are beaten up but I think that had to do with the heat from this Summer. It's going to take them a couple of more weeks to get back into shape. More homes built since the last time i played and it looks like more are coming. Especially on the back nine. 18 has a new tee box for the black tees. A little more elavated and a better view of the fairway. Still one of the nicer courses to play when they are not trying to improve conditions. It's a necessary evil but if you enjoy golf enough some holes on the greens will not ruin the joys of playing a visually rewarding course.

Played Fri. 07/28/2006. Teed off at 3:25 pm. Course was in great shape. greens were nicer then the last time I played. Thanks to those who fixed their ball marks. Greens are soft and very receptive. The ball will roll out a long ways so make sure you aim in the right spots. Nice breeze from Dana point to cool us off. Tee boxes are in great shape. Always a pleasre to play.

Played Sun. 07/23/2006. Teed off at 11:30. Haven't played this place for about 8 months. How things have changed. This use to be a very nice conditioned course. It was getting bad last time but now it has gone to hell!!! I heard this place changed ownership 2 years ago and coincidentaly since then the conditions have only gotten worse. The type of people who play here really do not give a @#$% about how they leave it after they are done! Worse they Owners/Management don't seem to care either. Greens are full of bare and yellow dead spots. These conditions make up about 30% of EVERY GREEN. Old hole locations died and ball marks all over the place...unrepaired of course(Clientele). ALL the greens looked like this! They even have a temporary green for the 13 hole. It was a pin cut into the fairway. You could barely tell it was a "temporary green". Couldn't even putt on it. Since this place has been getting progressively worse from my experience and the other posts I see here. This tells me the people who should be taking care of this place don't giva a d%mn . I think they just want to collect the green fees and hope we don't notice the course deteriorating. I can't believe they charge what they do for this place. Take your $$$ somewhere else until the management decides to take care of the place. This is the only way they will do things to improve the conditions. It's too bad b/c this place was but now has the potential to be a very nice track. It's to bad the people who own the place do not know how to run a golf course. I will not be back until things change...which looks like it might be a long time.

Played here Sat. afternnon 07/22/2006. Teed off at 4:55 pm and was expecting to get 9 in. Course was absolutely empty. Probably had to do with the heat and Reputation of this course. Was ecstatic when we finished ALL 18 at 7:45 pm. What was even better was the course. Let me start by saying I grew up in Fullerton and played this course an endless amount of times growing up. This was the first real course I played golf on. I have NEVER seen this place in better shape!!! The city has finally decided to spend some $$$ to make a ton of improvements. Lots of them minor but since I grew up here I noticed the differences. Tee boxes are greatly improved. Sand in the Traps is actually Sand! Fairways are not hard like they used to be and the Greens look great except for all those ball marks. Ball marks are not the courses Fault. Management has taken all the steps to improve this course and the playes have not paid them back by fixing their marks and divots. Can't penalize the Course for it's players. If you are looking for an affordable course that has a staff that is really attempting to make improvements. This is the course for you!!! Go give this Course a try and you won't be disappointed. Kind of short with lots of Par 3 on the front 9 but the Cost is unbeatable. Did I mention the New and improved Conditions!!! You should have seen this place in the past. They are finally doing things right here and I will be back OFTEN!!!!!

Played Sat. Morning 7/22/2005. I was looking for cool course to play but since it was so hot you could barely tell the difference. Only when I left did I notice the temp. difference from here and home. Greens and fairways are what you would expect from a muni like this. Course is fairly tight with a strange layout. I like the course because it makes you play different shots. Of course things could be better but then it would cost more. We need more affordable weekend golf courses like this in the O.C.

Played Fri. 07/21/2006 for the first time. Teed off at 4pm for Twilight rate of $85. Was 2nd to last group to finish at 8:15 pm. Course is in good shape. Greens are rolling True. There are some thin spots on almost all the fairways. Lots of wide open fairways and big greens makes this course very enjoyable to play. Cost can be steep but the course looks very mature even though it is relatively young. Lots of great looking mature trees. The Irvine company did a great job of creating a aesthetically pleasing course. Other then the commuter train coming through every 10 minutes (it was Fri rush hour) you could hardly tell you were in the middle of Irvine. Would love to play this course again but wouldn't be able to afford doing it to often.

Played here again on Sat. 07/15/2006. Course again is never in bad shape. Played in a tourney and not much has changed since my last post a month ago. Leaves are still everywhere and a noticeable breeze was lingering all day. Again becase of the leaves, keep your eye on your ball. Course is relatively flat with mature trees. Only thing is the train tracks cut through the course and it seems like the train comes by every 15 minutes. I think the train engineers like to play games and blow their horns the whole time they cut throug just trying to throw off some golfers. Some of the greens are showing some signs of yellowing but it's not affecting roll...yet. For the cost and conditions, I enjoy playing this track and will be back soon.

Played Sat. 07/08/2006, teed off at 12. Course was in good shape. Fairways were in good shape, tee boxes and greens were average. Course is a little tricky the first time and had plenty of elevated tee boxes. This made it important to check your yardages because a lot of junk comes into play if you hit it through the faiways in the wrong spots. Pick a line that fits your eye and hit it straight. Staff was helpful and friendly. For $50 it was a great deal.

Played Fri. 7/7/06. Played Twilight @ 1pm for $100. Needless to say but it was hot. Course was in great shape! Fairways were immaculate, greens were spotless and rolled FAST and true. A little tough to play the first time around because on a couple of holes it gave you the option of which fairway to hit to. Hole 10 stands out in my mind. Make sure you take a look at the yardages on the GPS. I could have saved a couple strokes if I had just paid attention to that GPS. Great service, and great course. They are going private in November so this is your last opportunity to experience this great course.

Played 07/03/2006. Twlight time at 3:20pm for $58. First off PLEASE FIX YOUR BALL MARKS!!! That is our responsibilty as players. Nothing is worse then to have a wonderful course ruined by their clients b/c some of us refuse/forget about fixing our ball marks. Maybe it's new to you that you finally hit the green in regulation but please act like you've done it before and fix your ball marks. Ok, I kinda went off on a tangent, back to the course. Absolutely worth the cost at any time. For O.C. the conditions and surrondings are a bargain. Fairways have little to no rough so make sure you account for roll. Otherwise your ball will roll into the environmentally sensitive areas or OB. Nice cool breeze coming from the south helped with the drives on most holes. Finished in about 5 hours but it was a holiday/weekend, sort of. Fairways are a little hard but definitely not dried out. Greens would have been great except for all the aforementioned ball marks. Great course and layout, will be back often.

Played Sat. 07/01/2006. Teed off at 10:30 and was prepared for a long hot afternoon. I hadn't played here for about a year and a half. So I fogot how close it was to the ocean. A cool breeze all day long kept temps. 15 degrees lower then where I live in L.H. Finished in 4 and half hours on a weekend. Paid $50 to play in South O.C. on a weekend, which is virtually unheard of. Yeah the course is not top notch but what do you expect when you play a relatively inexpensive muni. If you hit it where you are supposed to, the course is fair and the conditions do not to penalize you. Fairways were acceptable and greens were also in good shape. Course is a little tight in spots but fair. Conditions could be better, but they always can be. Relax and enjoy your round, be thankful that you're golfing. For the cost and location, this is as good as it gets. I will be back more often, especially when it's hot and I have the itch to tee it up.

Played Sat. 06/17/2006. First off the entire staff and service here is great. First class the whole way through, from the moment you drive up till the momment you leave. Conditions, and I repeat the conditions on the course were excellent. Course is very well maintained and lush. The layout needs a lot of help but they are confined to the amount of land they have. NO driving range, instead they have a 50 yard by 50 yard driving net. Kinda stinks but again they are confined to the amount of land they have. Only cool thing about their driving NET is their automatic ball tee. The layout was a little boring, except for the par 3's, I felt like I was in the twilight zone playing the same holes over and over and over... They have 7-10 holes that feel very similar and layed out right beside each other. Again, confined to the amount of land they have. Airport is right across the street so it gets loud every 10 minutes. After the first couple fly by's you get used to it. For the amount they charge I would not go back. I paid summer rate which is less so prime rates would make this place even less worthwhile. The thing is, it's right on the strip. There are plenty of great Vegas golf courses for the same cost or even less, just a short drive away. It was good to experience this course but I found out all I needed to find. Staff improves this course a few notches, their service makes you numb to the layout. I'm trying to find excuses to make it worth playing again or even for the first time and can only come up with, they don't have enough land, they're on the strip and the service was superb. Still, I just can't convince myself.
