Played the front nine here last Tuesday, 10/01/24 with a small group of coworkers. Lush turf conditions from tee to green. Some areas were overly saturated, though. Nice definition between the fairways and the not-too-penal rough. Greens had a bunch of ball marks, some not repaired and some that were very poorly repaired. It is to be expected at this course as most of the golfers here are only out for a little practice round and have little knowledge of etiquette or respect for the course. It wasn't too terrible, and the greens ran at a nice medium/slow speed with occasional bumpiness. Perfect for the beginning golfer. The sand traps do need some TLC, like fresh sand, edging, and raking. Plenty of geese near the lakes and their droppings can be an issue at times. Overall, for $19 to walk/ $31 to ride late in the day, it's not bad. We did have the course to ourselves as it was a hot day. Beautiful long shadows and cooler temps as the sun was setting. The snack shop closes early, so you may need to bring your own if you go out late in the day. No biggie as the food is crappy here.

I am not sure who the new owner/course manager is but things are looking up here. The grass is lush. Greens were fertilized or chemically treated in some way with the blue dye being evident on the practice putting greens. Fairways and rough were very lush. Maybe too lush because they need to (in the midnight hour) mow mow mow! Lost a couple of balls in the deep rough. Most of the bunkers need some kind of maintenance: add sand and trim the edges. The greens were just medium speed but not slow. They were also very lush and soft. People might be fixing their ball marks; I saw only a few on the last couple of holes. Yesterday's heat kept the late afternoon golfers at home and the course was relatively empty. Our time was 5:20 PM. It was $19 to walk with an additional $12/rider, if that's your option. The area around the clubhouse has been fixed up a bit and the course looks nice overall. This is the course you go to when you have beginning golfers, and you want some short game practice.

I played here twice in the last two weeks. Conditions are vastly improved from my past experiences here. There is a new management team and it appears that maintenance has been stepped up.

I played here twice in the last two weeks. Conditions are vastly improved from my past experiences here. There is a new management team and it appears that maintenance has been stepped up.

Greens: medium speed and soft. There has been a lot of ball marks, but most are easily fixed. Greens roll true.

Fairways: Good coverage overall. Some areas receiving supplemental water during the morning.

Rough: Slightly taller than the fairways, but a noticeable cut. Not too penal.

Bunkers: All looked decently groomed and had good sand.

Tees: Level and not too many divots.

Overall: this course plays slow for the yardage. Not unusual as it is an executive size course in a dense suburban neighborhood with not many other options nearby. The price is right, especially for walkers.

Played today at 7:50. $42 riding, cart path only. Slow pace at just under 4 hours. As expected, the course was well-moisturized from all the recent rains. The cart path crosses a small creek in four places. The turf in those areas was obliterated but those areas should not come into play.

Greens were running slow and had a small amount of bumpiness. Obviously they were not mowed today. On the bright side, they did hold shots well. Not many ball ball marks either.

Fairways (there are only 7 par 4s) were mostly good. Nice coverage except for a few thin areas. Not a lot of rollout, but it was early and the ground was wet.

Rough was a real mixed bag. It varied from deep fescue to thin coverage or bare ground. Some areas were still draining water from yesterday’s storm.

Tee boxes were mostly level. Markers were moved forward and spread out over the entire width of the box. Not too wet or thin, so no issues there.

Bunkers were a bit of a mess. Wet, packed sand and occasional standing water. I was in two bunkers and was fortunate enough to get out nicely.

Overall, it was okay and nice to get out with some work buddies. I’m sorry it seems like I am the only one reviewing this course. It’s been a long time since I have been here.

I played here last Wednesday evening, teeing off around 5:05 pm with a buddy from work and one of his pals. Overall, the course looks pretty nice. It is fairly lush from tee to green. That's something I haven't seen at this course in years. The greens ran on the slow side; you have to really hit firm putts, especially uphill. Fairways and rough were all in as good as condition as I can recall. Hole 9 fairway used to be a wasteland, but it's coming around. The barranca that bisected the hole has been filled in and no longer much of an issue, although still a marked hazard. Tees were almost all level and lush. Lots of divots as this course is mostly par 3s. Sand was plentiful, but bunkers needed some TLC, as the few I was in were crusty and had unraked footprints. Not bad for the $25 I paid to ride. A slower walking twosome on the back nine prevented us from finishing and that was a little bit of a bummer.

Played in an annual City of Santa Clarita tournament here today. Fun times. Overall conditions here seem to be improving. It has been many months since I last played here.

Greens: Running medium fast. They were very soft and there were a few ball marks that I repaired. Not a crazy amount, though. Most of the players here this morning only golf once a year and probably were not hitting the greens hard enough to leave a mark. I'm not sure what the weekend crowd will do.

Fairways and rough: Again, it is notable how much the grass is growing in. I guess I'm not used to seeing this much green here, but with the additional watering, it's getting more lush. And with that additional water comes the associated wet and muddy areas.

Tees: We played the white tees. All were level. Some needed a little more mowing. Off day for those tees? The ones that were mowed were good.

Bunkers: They looked good. They had ample amounts of brownish sand and were recently groomed with the sand pro. Rakes were available and I didn't see very many footprints.

For the right price, maybe late afternoon, I'd play here even if it's a par 60.

Played yesterday, Friday at 7:20. Walked for $24.50. POP 3 hours. The course continues to make small strides towards better conditions. General maintenance in progress with lots of watering and debris cleanup. Usually, this time of the year has a lot of litter on the ground from the many eucalyptus and pine trees combined with Santa Ana winds; however, it's looking fairly clean throughout the course. Unfortunately, there are many over-watered areas and some areas where natural drainage has been impeded creating some very soggy conditions in some fairways. Speaking of drainage, they are in the process of filling in the large drainage channel that runs through the course. It's still mostly dirt, but some grass is starting to grow in. I'm not confident that this will all survive the winter rains, but I guess we'll see.

Greens: Running medium fast. They were very soft with plenty of ball marks to be repaired.

Fairways and rough: It is notable how much the grass is growing in. The entire course has at times been kind of thin coverage, but with the additional watering, it's getting more lush. Three are now problem areas that should be addressed as there are now areas of standing water and deep mud, particularly on Holes 4, 9, and 10.

Tees: All tees were being top dressed and were GUR with markers moved up to the front. It should help with the turf conditions and I expect it to be good within a few weeks.

Bunkers: They looked to have ample amounts of brownish sand and were recently groomed with the sand pro. Unfortunately, the edges were growing in and need to be trimmed.

Can I recommend this course? Not really, but it's practically the only public course around less than $30 walking.

Played today, second group out. $37 to ride. Our tee time was 7:00 , but the starter doesn't open up until 7:00 apparently. No cash transactions at the proshop, btw. They are really watering the course. It's very green and lush, but overly wet in many areas. You should not have too much trouble with the wet areas unless you are not striking it well. Greens were soft and medium fast, but there were a lot of ball marks. Originally we were the first group, but since we were a foursome, we let a faster threesome ahead of us on the first tee. Good pace of play at around 3:15. There is talk of turning this course into a regulation-length course by eliminating the short Chica course, although I'm not sure how they can route it to get ten more strokes.

Greens: Medium fast, soft, and lots of old ball marks to get your fix on. Bring your favorite repair tool! No bad areas, though; I found the greens looked and rolled nice despite the ball marks.

Fairways and rough: Better grass coverage than this course has had in the past. Some areas are roped off with new sod and the old drainage barranca that crosses the course is now filled in and roped off as Ground Under Repair. There is also a discernable cut between the rough and fairways.

Tees: Mostly level, some of the blue markers were not yet set out, so I took some liberties and made some placements as I saw fit. The turf on most of the teeing ground is really beat up. Many looked like they had some large hole aerification within the last couple of weeks. Hole 15 tees were fully under GUR and roped off; hitting from the front of the reds gives you about 250 to the green, so it's currently a drivable par 4.

Sand: Bunkers were decent. Some were a little damp, but the sand was plentiful and soft.

Overall: It's good right now, but aerification is apparently coming up next week, so we will see how it goes. It's probably not really worth the $37 riding, but walking should be around $25 and I know they usually have deals on several third party discount websites. I hope they do revise the course and try to make it into a regulation length course. I'd like to see that.

Played this afternoon; 2:30 tee time was made online by my playing partner. It was $17 to walk. 3.5 hr. pace due to a slow threesome a couple groups ahead of us. It seemed wide open up until 2:00 when several groups showed up at the same time.

As far as course conditions go, this is as good as I have seen it. It has been almost a year since I last played here. The creek that used to run through the course is now filled in and is just a graded dirt area that is roped off. I believe they installed a drain pipe and covered it up. I suppose they could grow grass over it now. Who knows?

Tees: We played the white tees and they were almost all level with the exception of only a couple. Good grass coverage and easy to find a good place to hit from. The course is mostly par 3's, so a lot of the teeing ground can be chewed up with divots. Due to COVID-19, there are no sand bottles or buckets to fill in anything.

Fairways and rough: Good grass coverage almost everywhere. Lush conditions all over the course. There were a few areas that were overly wet and could have used some ropes to keep carts out.

Sand: Ample sand, but not well maintained and also no rakes.

Greens: Soft and smooth. A good medium-fast pace for this little muni that sees a lot of beginner golfers. I fixed many a ball mark today.

Overall impression: It's a decent value and a golfer could really get in some practice hitting every iron in the bag. A few par 4's where you could use driver, but it's not necessary. I like the turf conditions right now; it's never been better.
