First things first . . . this is a municipal golf course. It is not comparable in any way to an equity-member country club. I have played it around 6 times now.

The greens have the same problem as just about every other southern California course, the bent grass is invaded by poa annua. Accordingly, they are not perfect. This problem is so common that many of the top PGA pros skip the California events because of the inconsistency and the bumpiness that results. The speed is not lightning quick but a decent speed. You do not want to be above the hole.

The layout is interesting with a combination of short and long holes, and good size greens with reasonable interest to them. The pace of play is pretty typical for a muni, 4 1/2 hours in the morning and unbearably long in the afternoon. The worst feature are the fairways. I don't know what the turf is, but it is not well established and thin in many places, and the players are not good at filling their divots with the sand mix. We used up numerous cannisters during the round when we waited for the greens to clear.

The pro shop is minimalist, and there is no club house, but the food is remarkably good in the snack shack. Watch out for the bloody marys, they are spicy.

All in all, it is a very satisfactory golf experience if you avoid the afternoons (because of the pace of play).
