Always loved the design and conditioning at this out of the way golf course so booked a pre Christmas round for the group here with an early tee time.

We arrived to see an angry group of what looked to be local regulars in the pro shop. Frost delay pushing everyone back an hour. The gruff tee Marshall informed us there’s a tournament group that starts after us, so expect to play the front nine twice. I went in to the starter to see what our options were and was told they’ve been delaying everyone an hour for a while. Them why take early tee times at all? We cancelled and went to nearby Hemet (that’s another story). It seems this place is prioritizing the casino patron instead of avid golfers these days. So disappointing to come so far and leave empty handed. Can’t recommend!

Played here weekday first time since the ownership change. The folks at nearby Arrowhead just took over this track. Course is same as I remembered, decent greens, spotty dry fairways and chewed up tee boxes. Bunkers are groomed dirt but surprisingly playable. Pace of play is usually good here. Once taking over management immediately raised the price by five bucks, I get it inflation. Most curiously, they got rid of a longtime Shandin institution, the “free” sandwich or breakfast burrito and drink at the turn. So more for less it seems. Not the greatest track compared to its neighbors, but used to be a great value proposition. Play Yucaipa or Sierra Lakes instead.

Played on an overcast Saturday morning. Greens good, healing from a recent punching but mostly puttable. Fairways and rough as usual kind of scruffy. Bunkers mostly had good sand. Nice cart girl came by several times. The downer was this group of mooks playing 2 vs 2 best ball game that were dreadfully slow. Hit ball after ball. While there is a friendly Marshall there was no evidence he did anything to improve pace of play. Reported their slowness to the starter at the turn to no avail. Oh well, that’s weekend golf these days.

Hadn’t played here in a while but have always enjoyed the good value and balanced layout of both Menifee courses. So we were surprised at the poor condition of the course. I know it’s winter, but the fairways are extremely bare with scruffy clumps of dead rough. Tee boxes are ugly and chewed up. Bunkers are a crap shoot, sometimes with sand and other times just dirt and rocks. Greens are the highlight, nice smooth and fast. Customer service is excellent, with starters, check in staff and cart girls all being friendly and efficient.

Played here for the first time in a while. Always liked the balance of this course design. Seems like management is trying but the course suffers heavy play from novice type golfers. Camo looking greens roll acceptably, but are marred with many ball marks. Fairways are spotty as usual but it is winter. Looks like they’re making an effort to at least groom the dirt in some (but not all)of the bunkers. Can’t say it’s not a decent value at the price point though and staff is usually very friendly.

Hadn’t played here in many years as the layout and general poor condition kept us away unless as a course of last resort. Was pleasantly surprised to find things have markedly improved. Greens are good, roll well and quick for the most part. Fairways are hit or miss but seem to be improving. This course smartly has covered up the old sand traps and turned them into grass bunkers. I wish more clubs would do that instead of keeping ill maintained bunkers fill or dirt and rocks. Tee boxes rather chewed up. Price is right at $34 weekday am. Staff was exceptionally friendly. No chance to partake of food or beverages today.

Played here day after “Bomb Cyclone” hit NorCal. Must admit the course must drain nicely as we couldn’t even tell it rained the week before. Greens are tricky and very hard to read. Some transition areas are ground under despair. The fairways are subtly undulating so level lies are rare. Not quite as brutal as it’s made up to be if you play smart though. Bunkers thin in spots, but mostly playable. Grabbed a hot dog at the turn and it was delicious!

Seems like Yucaipa is at long last turning around. Greens are more than decent now, fairways much improved from my last visit here. For $34 weekday am with their rewards program, it’s a good deal. Rack rate of $52 not so much. Bunkers even seem a bit better, although they’re still just groomed dirt like all IE courses in this price range. Just glad this course is playable again as it’s such a nice balanced design for the average golfer. Staff is always friendly, did not have chance today to try and rate food service. One tip though, don’t book an early am Wed round you will slam into the very slow playing men’s club on the back nine. We spent as much time playing 13-18 as we did 1-12.

Played here on a cold Tuesday morning. Super friendly at pro shop and especially the starter. Course is generally in good shape. Wide fairways, but well defended greens. Fast firm fairways. Greens were quick but rolled true. Very firm also, anything hole high bounced to the back of the green and good chips had a shocking amount of rollout. Bunkers were variable in condition, with some of them having very thin, penal sand. No chance to try out food or bev service of any kind.

After the slew of recent GKer reviews from the outing, not too much to add but like to comment again about the superb greens, fairways and overall condition of the course. Challenge and design of this course is just right in my opinion. Mix of very different holes that will make you use every club in the bag. Frequent visits by 2 very friendly cart girls. One blemish-I’m not too keen that as we were starting we were informed that a 4th would be joining our threesome and the starter politely asked us to give up our carts and ride up together as strangers. We were offered a cart that had a divider, but it would be better if they informed us at check in and given the option of paying extra for our own cart-on top of the $153 we already paid to play. I know courses are trying to max revenue, but there’s got to be a better way of handling this.

Played here on a Friday morning for $99. Quite a deal for that price as Shadowridge is at least as good as other CV courses that cost 50-75% more. Greens are smooth and average speed but challenging as everything breaks. Fairway lies are not plush but good coverage and ball sits just enough. Nice fluffy sand in most bunkers. It’s a Faldo course. Not sure how much input he had in the design but several holes had us cussing out Sir Nick as bunkers are placed in tough spots with false fronts you can’t see from the fairway. Lots of very long and very short par 4s. No food or cart service due to Covid.

Played the Boulder course a week after it came out of hibernation. Fairways and tee boxes are immaculate. Nice sand in bunkers. Greens while smooth rolling remain sloooow. Strangely for as slow as the greens were, they had signs ant and noticeable runout after approach shots or pitches. A bit pricey at $79 weekday am, but that’s probably the going rate in the PS area once the season starts up. Friendly check in and Cart girl, did not stop to eat.
