Played Aviara today for the first time. Everyone in our foursome loved the course. Personally, I would say without hesitation that it's the best course I've ever played. The pace of play was excellent, and we finished in just under 4 hours. Some of the greens were recently sanded and were a tad slow, but putts rolled smoothly. The short and intermediate cuts of rough were perfect, but the primary rough was long and somewhat patchy. As with any course, hit fairways and greens and you'll be fine!

The staff was friendly and helpful. Aviara is expensive, but our foursome felt it was one of those courses that you have to experience at least once -- more than once if you can afford it!

Played Hidden Valley in Norco today. Course was in excellent condition -- probably the best I've ever seen it. Fairways were green and lush with no hardpan or bare spots. Rough was 3 - 5 inches high but very playable. Greens were fast, but with a few bumps here and there. Played the round in a few minutes under 4 hours. No waiting to tee off except on the last few holes. Friendly staff.
