Bad Cell area. Don't expect to get signal even in clubhouse. They do have a free WiFi set up so that is a good thing.

Played last Saturday as a part of the GK Casual golf outing.

PACE of PLAY for a Saturday was brisk for us. We were the last group of our event.
Aside from being hit into once and one of our members almost losing his head by that golf shot from one of the irate folks in the group behind us; we managed to push ahead of the groups behind us. We kept pace but front 9 played slower than back 9. Greens are hard with a pretty good amount release so lay up and roll/bounce it onto the green. Fairways lush. Rough and trouble is thick so stay out of it as best you can. Green complexes are in great condition. Puts rolled really true. No bounces here.

First time I have ever played this course and I was impressed. Course is in the middle of nowhere and the conditions are perhaps the best I have seen for any golf course for this time of the year.

One problem cart died on the 18th hole. Aside from the items mentioned above, yes I would like to play here again. Conditions here are great! Also check out my photos on Instagram @ringworld

Played last week. Greens are healing nicely but still bumpy. Fairways are in decent shape. Bunkers have decent sand. Tee boxes as always are uneven in many spots.

Pace of Play was horrific. Finally just skipped hole to get past a fivesome. Not their fault their were five and we were only two. After that pace picked up considerably.

Course is still a great place to get that golf fix satisfied. Play here again? I always do when I feel the urge but have little time. Range has decent balls. They have a monthly deal $75/month and it's all you can play during the week. Not a bad deal. Twilight is around $10 to play (after 5pm). With the summer hours and the sun still up after 7pm.... it's a decent deal for golf.

Hat's off to the management and superintendent at Los Amigos. You guys have literally resuscitated life back into what I think is a great golf course. To say this course before was on the ropes is an understatement of the facts. To say that this course not only plays better but the conditions on this course rival other area golf courses is NOT an exaggeration but indeed, fact.

Greens are perhaps the best rolling I have ever seen. A few bumps but the greens hold their line well. Even hole 9 which had it's green replaced matches the other greens for feel so no special treatment needed for just one green. Greens on hole 11 and 12 which the previous management butchered have returned back to life and roll very well.

Fairways are fairly lush you do still get a mix of lies but overall I feel the fairways are well kept. Older trees line this golf course and the superintendent is making sure to prune these trees before the start of the serious golf season -- smart move on his part.

Sand in bunkers are OK. They remind me of hard packed bunkers. Sand is loose but very playable. Rough is thick in places and around the greens. The green complexes overall I feel are perhaps in the best shape I have ever seen in the 15 years I have been playing here. Mind you I have laid off this course from my usual playing for over 3 years -- playing here once in a blue moon. I am happy to report the current course conditions are the best I have ever seen. Conditions do rival it's neighbor course down the street and pace of play is faster here -- during the week of course.

Also I should mention they have been upgrading other parts of the facility (banquet, bar and diner). Most renovations are expected to be completed by July 2013.

The big question is would I consider playing here again? The answer -- a resounding yes. For the money, the conditions and pace of play this would definitely be part of my list of considered golf courses to play. In fact now that I think of it, those of you reading this review forget what I just said. I want this course all to myself! But if you do decide to take the chance and play this course, I can honestly say you won't be disappointed.

Greens bumpy. Does not hold its line. Fairways are in decent shape. You get a mix of thin and lush lies. Rough is thick Kikuyu grass in places. Kikuyu around skirts of greens will grab at your ball. Sand in bunkers are stocked but like the fairways you get a mix of hard packed, thinly veiled sand and fluffy sand. Tee boxes are rotated well so you get a relatively flat lie.

As I mentioned I really don't have high praise for this course but in a pinch it serves its purpose well enough. You can really score on this course since it offers reachable par 5s and interesting par 4 holes.

Now would I play here again? I guess the answer is obvious. I would prefer to play other courses but where can you get on and finish just 9 holes midday?

Played Sunday in Tournament. Greens in decent shape. They rolled fairly true but sometimes bumpy. Fairways in good shape; very lush. Rough is thick in places but playable. Skirts around greens are sticky so throw your ball onto the green and expect a fair amount of release. Tee Boxes are level. Sand in bunkers are well stocked.

Pace of play was horrific. Over 5 hours to finish a round and we were book-ended with two other tournaments. No views today as it was completely overcast and foggy around the coast. Wind was coming from the south so it made for an interesting round. Typically the breezes come from the NW.

It's been a while since I played here last. Several additions include a bunker in front of 11 and a bunker on the right on 7. Had to keep remembering this course sits on the side of a hill and had to always keep in mind the top of the hill and which way the course was sloping to determine the real break. Overall I was pleased with the conditions; not the pace of play.
