Played mid morning today and was pleased with the overall maintenance of the golf course. Greens ran well, fairways were good, tees good, rough was cut down. The rough on the left side of # 17, a medium/short length par 5, can present a challenge. It is really thick and looks as if it is like this often being at the low point of the golf course. PoP was acceptable and staff was friendly.

Have not played here since the late 90's and was a little tenative but scored a $50 golfnow tee time. Golf Shop/Starter personnel were rather unimpressive. I have seen a lot of Proshops and this was as bad as it gets for a $100+ green fee. Finished 18 and looked to get out for 9 more (willing to pay 30-40 more $, whatever the price was I was willing... but the uninspired/uncreative starter claimed all booked). We pack our clubs and BSed a little to see a single go out where we tried to?? They need to teach these boys about revenue?? For the course it was just about as good as it can get. Only thing is the size of some of the tee boxes and locations makes it difficult to maintain to high standards. Greens were good, fairways were tight and green with no bad lies or wet areas at all. Fun track this time of year. Mid Summer probably too hot?

Played yesterday and overall a semi-challenging course with multiple sets of tee boxes and plenty of bunkers. A variety of holes with undulating bentgrass greens which were mostly smooth. They had a lot of greens with severe summer damage which affected the quality of the roll and line, manageable but bad. Aerification is tomorrow and will probably get worse before it gets better. Never found a bad lie anywhere else and the water features and layout is interesting enough to enjoy the day.

Played Saturday 6-2 Sunny high 60's no wind to speak of.
Expectations: Tournament conditioning (tight tees/fwys/greens)
What we got: Everything green and shaggy with greens rolling under 10ft. Played Black Tees and had to carry alot of waste areas to the fwys. Liked the course and challenge but was expecting better conditions for a Saturday when they charge top $. They have some interesting tee and green complexes but the slow greens really bummed me out. Nothing out of place and customer service was at par for the Trump name and service guarantee. I have played Bandon/Old Mac/Pacific and have seen the ocean before so the views were nice but I want much quicker/tighter surfaces when I pay top tier green fee. The cart girl said The Donald was coming next month so maybe they are going to tighten things up little moving forward. In my opinion, both of the water features look out of place.

Played Wed. Fairways going into dormancy thanks to the cold weather lately but better than last december with the heavy rains and soggyness. No bad lies or bare areas just a little dormant and tight and the rough was cut all the same length. Greens are smooth and fast (10+), tees are overseeded and green and the bunkers are nicely raked as well. They have your classic etiquette problems with a few people not raking after they shoot but the sand was loose and turned over. Like the grass range and practice green areas. Played here handful of times and never disappointed(Usually just the slow play and poor etiquette as mentioned earlier).

Played Sunday in a nice fundraising tournament. First time playing here under old or new ownership. The greens were the best part of the course. The course has some nasty rough areas in play albeit along the perimeter of golf course and property lines. It was in decent shape tee to green but the perimeters and the bunkers were unkept and unpleasing to the eye. If and when the place gets detailed from hole to hole it will be much more appealing visually. Not sure what the normal green fee is but(due to the fact I played in a fundraiser tournament) would pay 25-50$ to play. Some nice water features throughout course. New owners could make a big difference if..............

Played Tuesday 7/26. First time playing course. Overall started out as a ho-hum day with some quirky tightly packed holes on the front. But was pleasantly surprised with the back nine layout (maybe it was the lack of excitement for the front nine which made this nine look and feel better?). Not very busy and enjioyed the course. They were double verticutting and mowing the greens all day, plus upgrading irrigation throughout the course. For having a large sub contracted work creww out ther they did a good job not disrupting play whatsoever! Greens looked very good but were a little inconsistent with speed. All had good speed but... Bunkers were very good and there was no rough to speak of. The suurounding hills and mountains? give a nice touch to this course. Had a good match with some buddies and this is a course with eagle and birdie chances most of the round. Reachable par 5's and short par4's but not a cake walk if you get stuck in the tree line or cast your ball into one of the water features in the middle of the course. Good day!

A test of golf any serious golfer should take. Would not recommend to the high handicapper but to those who think links golf is easy with wide open settings or just want to experience links/oceanside golf......good luck. These fescue/poa greens will dry you crazy but you will enjoy everything about them. Some of the bunker/waste areas will have you thinking you are somewhere on the moon. It is shear beauty with everything the serious golfer could want in a challenge. Stick with Pacific and Bandon Dunes and have yet to play Old McDonald but will this coming winter. Its actually a great deal in the winter months at $125-$150 for golf and lodging. Just need to get lucky with the weather, could be shorts or could be monsoon. Be ready to grind all day and enjoy every part of it. It is a bucket list golf course for sure!!! One problem, 16 hour drive from LA.

Friday was very nice. Greens firm and smooth late in the day. Looks like they are keeping up with tool boxes who don't fix their ball marks. I see older remarks about slow and bumpy? Not at all the case. Only hit 2 bunkers and they were very playable. The 13th hole is a beast of a par 3! Not a difficult course but fun to get out with the fellas and wager a few cocktails. Keep it in play and you will have no complaints. A couple holes on the back nine had isolated saturated areas but did not affect playability. When finished we sat in the shade at the snack bar and enjoyed some cold ones and watched some duffers, er, beginners at the range.
