Because of the overcast marine layer, it was not as cold as expected at 7am. Much appreciated. Prior review was spot on. Greens were brutal at times; in fact, I putted two balls off the green and the putts were not that far off from being really good. Need to keep the ball below the hole or you have a lot of stress. Overall, the course is in fine condition. No issues whatsoever. It will be interesting to see how the forecasted rains affect conditions.

Out early on a rather cool autumn morning. Not too crowded, perhaps due to the lower temperatures? North Course is looking good. Greens rolling true with decent pace, good coverage in the fairways. Bunkers and tee boxes are well maintained. Looking forward to condition even getting better, which should provide for some great Holiday golfing experiences

Despite the forecast of mid 70's temperatures, it was rather brisk out when I tee;'d off at 7am. (46 degrees) Course has weathered the recent rains well, and to my surprise, they finally allowed carts off the path. Fairways have come in very nicely. Greens had decent pace and rolled true and were very receptive. Overall, the course is looking good, and I expect things only to improve from here.

Out early on a windy morning, but very pleasant temperatures. Course has handled the recent rains very nicely. CPO still which is appropriate given the amount of rain we experienced, but no residuals such as standing water in the fairways or bunkers. Greens maintain a good pace and roll very true and were extremely receptive, even for my less than stellar ball striking. Over all the course is in really nice shape. Congrats to the maintenance staff for all their efforts.

Took advantage of an invite to play an early morning round at Rancho. Despite the early tee time, it took forever to drive there from south OC. I have always felt Rancho was a true barometer of what a golfer shoots. It is challenging but fair, and provides a stern test on enough holes to create scoring stress, but a few holes where birdie opportunities are still available.
Conditions were about what I expected based upon the most recent review, although the greens rolled even better than I anticipated. Still some issues with the fairways, but overall, decent shape.

The group I played with wanted to play the blue tees, which at one time was my norm, but as I approach 80, they are simply just too much for me now. Remembering holes I used to reach with middle irons, are now two woods at best. Despite that, enjoyed a great day at one of my favorite old style traditional golf courses. Wish we had some of these in Orange County.

Another beautiful autumn morning, on a very uncrowded day. Have to piggy-back on Cotoman's most recent review. Course is in very nice condition and a pleasure to play. I was particularly impressed with how quickly the greens recovered from the recent aeration. Nice to enjoy carts off the path, which has been what I've been accustomed to on the South course

First out Tuesday on a beautiful, but cool autumn morning. The course remains cart on path, which will continue for at least two more weeks, which is appropriate because the new grass is still growing and has not yet completely filled in. Much of the fairways look good, but there are still areas which are struggling to take hold. The greens rolled very well, with more pace than before, yet still very receptive. Bunkers, tee boxes and rough are fine. Just have to be patient before I make a final call as to the success of the overseeding.

With the South Course being closed for the next three weeks, all play is directed onto the North Course, which makes getting tee times a bit more competitive. Able to get out first on a beautiful autumn morning, so no issues with pace of play. Course is generally in rather nice overall condition. Greens roll true with decent speed and are very receptive. Fairways have fine coverage. Tee boxes and bunkers are very good. I hope that the volume of play does not take too much of a toll on the current conditions, which are a pleasure to play

Out first on a very mild end of summer morning. This is the last day the South course will be open for at least three weeks, and they will be punching greens and most critically, overseeding the fairways. I am praying the overseeding resolves the issue with the fairways, as they are presently the worst I have seen in my 35+ years here as a member. Greens, tees, bunkers are all acceptable, but the fairways are beyond description. I am cautiously optimistic that the course will return to the condition I have learned to enjoy over the past decades. Time will tell.

Had not played Lakewood for a while, so nice to return. Stange how the older I get, the longer the golf course gets! As stated in the last review, the fairways are not exactly conducive to roll, so that made the course play even longer. Greens were the best part of the course, although not as good as expected. The worst part was my senior discount card had expired, so the additional $$ was tough to take. They will be punching greens in a couple weeks - FYI.

Out early in the dark at 5:55 Monday on a really pleasant morning. Rather busy, so nice to get out ahead of the crowds. (Despite the fact it was pitch black out and I could not see until #4, there was a single and twosome in front of me) Dealing with Ruth in pro shop is always a positive way to begin the day here.

I was impressed with the overall condition of the course, particularly the fairways. Greens were good, (Except the rear portion of #5) but slower than I remember them being. Bunkers were thin but were maintained. Always enjoy my rounds at Dos Lagos, and compared to other courses, still decently priced.

Out early on a busy morning. While the North course is in far better condition than the South course, there are still a few issues with respect to the fairways. Greens rolling well with decent pace and still very receptive. The majority of the fairways are good, but still a few areas which need attention. Bunkers seem to be improving as well. Course has withstood the recent heat wave rather well. Overall, the course continues to present a challenge, but fair
