Played 2-27-18. Played as the rain stopped and had the course to myself for the most part. Visually a very beautiful course. Fun layout. Tee boxes in good shape, fairways brown in spots but no more than all our So Cal courses these days. Greens were in great shape. Moderate speed but held well and rolled true. Design is somewhat forgiving in that tee shots off the fairway will often roll into the short grass for you. Look forward to coming back. A strong 6.5 to 7.

Played 2-17-18.More brown than green right now! Greens are in great shape. Seems to be the theme this year in the desert. Let the course die except the greens. Have always found this to be a boring course. Not much variation each hole looks like the last and every green has the same set up of a bunker left and right of the green so there is just a slot up the middle to the green. The greens hold OK but had a couple shots land short of the green and roll all the way to the back and even off the green completely! Conditions are such that I am not inclined to return any time soon. A 6 at best.

Played 2-15-18. First time here and really enjoyed it. Was really impressed that when I mentioned it was my first time here the marshal took me in and showed me the amenities and where the golf shop was. Course is in good shape. Soft fairways and receptive greens. Tee boxes were nice and lush and smooth. Did not experience any sand this time but it looked soft and playable. Greens are undulating and hard for me to read but hope next time to do better. Definitely plan on there being a next time!

Played 2-8-18. First time at this course. Started bad when I arrived at the entrance to find I needed a code to open the gate. Got lucky and was behind a delivery truck so I followed him in. Then there are no signs to direct you to the course so I drove around and finally called to find out how to get there. I pull up and the steps to the pro shop are falling apart. Not a good first impression. I check in and since it is a golf shop I need receipts for all my expenses. When I ask for it he has already crumpled it up and thrown it away. More negative points. Range is OK but matts for the day. They were very soft so pleasant to hit off.
The course is pretty beat up. Lots of brown and even patchy where its green. Other areas were very nice. Some bunkers were packed mud and others were soft nice sand.
The greens make this place worth the price. Soft enough to hold well and fast and true. Downhill putts are scary and you must be aggressive uphill. Some really nice holes and some average holes. Mostly narrow off the tee so a bit of a challenge. Overall a course I might play if in the area but would not go out of my way to play here again.

Played 1-24-18. Course is in good shape. Greens still show signs of punching but rolled nice and fast! Tee boxes smooth and lush. Fairways a bit dry but very playable. Bunkers were soft for the most part but some had many small pebbles. Played all 27 holes and conditions were consistent throughout. Troon is trying to make this a course something special for an executive course. Look forward to playing again.

Played 1-15-18. Got out to see how the course was looking. Curse is in great shape. Tee boxes were perfect, fairways had occasional brown spots but minor problem. Greens showed signs of punching but rolled true and had good speed. Similar to Rams Hill. Bunkers seemed OK but was only in 2 and one had had fresh sand spread in it so around the edges was hard packed and the new stuff was very soft. The other was a fairway bunker and mostly hard pack. Not much to complain about here and as enjoyable as ever.

Played 1-7-18. This course lives up to its billing. Immaculate fairways smooth greens and soft bunkers. Saw 1 tee box that had some brown grass, every other one was perfect. Had a little trouble getting a full size tee to sink in flat for the par 3's. Would get half way down and felt like hitting rock. Broken tees are a must if you want it down at ground level. Was in a number of traps and they were consistently soft and deep. A tough challenge. Greens were a fast but not scary fast. Had to be careful on downhill putts but saw a few stop short of the hole when you wold have thought they would keep going. Hard to find anything to criticize! As close to a 10 as you will find.

Played 1-4-18. Course is still having issues. Without water they have eliminated much of the fairways and the rough is mostly dirt. The tee boxes are in decent shape and the traps though they look bad are very nice and soft. The highlight of the course are the greens. Very fast and very receptive. Downhill putts are frightening but they roll true and make up for most of the flaws. Staff was nice and the marshal very friendly. The cost makes it tempting and since the course tends to be empty you can get in a round pretty quickly. We played in about 3.5 hours and did not see another golfer till the 16th. If you want to test your putting skills you will enjoy this course but don't expect the beauty it had. Keep hoping it will make a comeback but it will take years to recover from the condition it is in now. A strong 4+, almost a 5 because of the greens.

Played 12=20-17. I was in the area for the day and chose Temecula Creek to try out. Started a bit off with a frost delay that pushed everything back. There were no balls in the range ball machine and after they finally refilled and I warmed up I went to see how much longer I would have to wait and the starter could not find me on the sheet. Fortunately a 3some was headed out and I asked if I could join them. He said sure and off I went. The first 9 was Creek. There was a tractor spraying the fairway green ahead of us. After that I did not see it again.
The course was just an up and back style. Not the most exciting layout. Greens were fast and I mean fast. Tee boxes were chewed and up but level. Fairways were thin but very playable. Bunkers had dark sand in them but were fluffy and in great shape.
Second 9 was Oaks. Immediately noticed the fairways were much greener and lush. Greens still fast and challenging. Same material in bunkers. The layout was more interesting. Not many straight holes. Lots of right or left bends. If you can shape shots it would be a big advantage. The trees present a challenge and if you miss the fairway you need to go under or around.
Over all enjoyed the round and would be interested in checking out the 3rd 9 sometime.
Would rate the course a solid 6 to 6.5.

Played 12-13-17. I was very surprised when I pulled up at how nice this place was. Not what I have come to expect from Billy Casper golf. Beautifully landscaped, lush fairways and greens and tee boxes. Tee boxes were level and some had tiers for different locations. Fairways had a couple brown spots but hard to find. The rough was a bit penalizing without being to thick to get out. Greens were on the slow side but smooth. Bunkers were very nice for the most part. A couple wet ones but mostly pretty soft sand. A fun layout that challenges you a variety of ways with a lot of dog legs and water to make you think and plan. A course I would come back to without a doubt!

Played with GK outing on 12-9-17. First off I would rate this course between a 6 and 6.5. Not sure what rating came out at. Tee boxes were perfect. Fairways OK but thin. Rough was lush but not too thick. Greens looked bad and were a bit bumpy but had nice speed. Bunkers varied from soft and fluffy to wet and hard packed (and I was in quite a few!) Overall not what I was expecting from such a highly rated course. Worth $75 but not much more. Customer service was great except for our greeting at the curb. No mention that we could drop bags or that valet was complimentary. It's a long way from the self parking to the course. Not a happy way to start the day. I thought the layout was a bit boring. Would not go out of my way to go back. But would be willing to check out the other course and see the whole complex.
I thought the food at the Vue was excellent. Not as pricey as I expected and my chicken was amazing. My on course bloody Mary was one of the best I have had just too small. Almost got a second.

Played 10-9-17. Looks like they are preparing for overseeding. Should have asked but pretty sure. Tee boxes were all flat but virtually no grass. Many brown spots around the course. The greens are rolling better than I have ever seen there. Bunkers varied from firm to soft on top so typical for the rock. Wind was gusting to near 70 so made a tough course tougher but still one of my favorite courses. Not the best right now but still playable. Look forward to seeing how things are a month from now. Right now it's in the low 6 rating.
