Teed off at 6:50 on Monday finishing in 3:45. The greens were in great condition. They rolled smooth with medium/fast speed and held shots. So nice to putt on greens rolling faster than medium. The fairways had good coverage with some thin/brown areas. The rough was mostly good with some thin/bare spots. The rough was thick enough to affect shots but not too penal. The bunkers were very wet but playable. The tee boxes are fair to good. Some mild unlevelness and some were a bit chewed up.

The driving range is open. The ball machine accepts payment for balls. The practice putting green next to the starter shack is open for those playing golf. The cafe is open with added outdoor seating. Masks required in common areas. Single rider carts. Staff was friendly.

Teed off at 8am finishing in 3:50. First time back to Mile Square since covid reopening. The greens were in good condition. They rolled smooth with medium speed and held shot. As previously noted the greens prior to covid ran a bit faster. The slower speeds make some of the down hill puts less stressful but I still prefer them to roll faster. The fairways had good coverage with a few thin spots. The rough was good and not too penal. There are some thin/bare spots along the fairways but very good around the greens. The tee boxes were fair to good mostly due to mild unlevelness. I found three greenside bunkers today. All three bunkers had adequate sand and were groomed aside from the footprints.

I have always enjoyed the Classic course. The gentleman in the proshop, as far as he knows, said the plans to have just one course by the end of the year is still going to happen. The putting green and short game area are closed. The driving range is open and you can purchase balls directly from the machine. The cafe is open for patio dining. The cafe has put several extra tables on the grass across from the patio to expand the outside dining. The staff was friendly.

Out early to beat the heat. Easy efficient check in - staff as usual friendly and accommodating. Prefer the Classic Course to the Players, so I was enthused to play here. While I still feel the green fees are a bit high, it is Orange County, so compared to everywhere else, not so bad I guess.

Course conditions were good. Greens rolled well, but were slower than expected. Agree with chevelle's opinion that pool noodles would be better than the inverted cups. Fairways had decent coverage, a few bare spots, but overall not complaints. Bunkers had sufficient sand, and the two I found were well manicured. A few tee boxes were a bit chewed up, but did not really affect playability.

Always enjoy Mile Square. Good solid old style traditional golf !

Early morning Wednesday tee time. Course is following all covid requirements. Check in and first tee were right on point. Tee boxes had good coverage and were level. Fairways and rough were very green and lush with the problem being they were very wet from watering. Traps had plenty of sand but had not been raked from the previous day. Greens were receptive to good shots and had good coverage. Very few unrepaired ball marks, medium speed and putts held their lines. POP was 3.5 hours. Course was very busy when we finished.

Played Tues Jul 21st at 7am, got out on time, still no practice putting green
Tees - mostly level dead grass, very hard, broke many tees
Fairways - mostly green and they were wet so not much run out, a few yellow spots
Rough - medium length not too penal
Bunkers - wet sand but the two I was in actually had some sand
Greens - were a little slow, they have metal which raises the flag and actually affected two putts today, pool noodles are much better
POP: 4:05 which is slow for us here

Out yesterday with fellow GKer Larryq2001 and two other buddies. Single carts and face mask required in clubhouse and practice areas. Restaurant is open and snack shop also open. Beautiful day in Orange County with temps 10 degrees cooler than the IE.

Seems that golfers in OC are a little more relaxed regarding face coverings. I saw many groups in shared golf carts with no social distancing. The course did a good job cleaning and making carts available.

We all rode in single riding carts.

Course was in fair shape. Greens were a little bumpy, and quicker than they look at about 9 on my imaginary STIMPmeter. Fairways had good coverage and the rough was not too penal other than the grabby grass catching the clubface. Traps were rakeless and fair. Layout was more interesting back 9 compared to front. 9. Snackshop was well stocked and decently priced including $5 shot specials....my kinda snack shop.... Overall, a nice day with friends and got to get some great Vietnamese food nearby because we were very close to Little Saigon.

Paid $39 prepaid and than $15 for cart. Just happy Miles Square and golf industry in general is getting lots of business.

First time out since the Virus changed everything we do: was able to walk the Classic Friday for $45 at 10AM. PoP at 4 hrs. Followed a slow 3-ball with one dude struggling ... obviously he wanted to play but just not able to walk 18 holes ... must be tough for those who are jonesin' for golf but need a power cart to get around. He did finally drop out after they let us play thru at the turn. The course, as expected, has no fairway divots and the tee boxes are very clean. Kikuyu is lush and green everywhere (almost) so not much roll out off the tee, rough a bit thick and spotting your ball was a must (we lost a couple, just couldn't find 'em). Greens a tad slow with hardly any ball marks, reversed cups so your ball only went down an inch. Flags inserted which is a much better idea than no flags at all. Bunkers had no rakes but good sand. Range closed but I got an email it will be open today. Practice green closed until further notice. So, if this is the new normal so be it. Hopefully, in a few months the mess will be behind us and golf will be golf again :-)

Played Tues Feb 25th at 7am. Good breakfast as they open at 6am. Check in quick and easy, got out early and no one in front of us for the first 14 holes. A 2 some behind us after 4 holes but we stayed ahead ( we were a walking 4 some ) Visibility was about 120 yards for the first 7 holes, very difficult, I do not like playing in fog. With that much fog everything was wet. The tee boxes were level, the fairways were very good, rough was not to long, you could find your ball, traps had sand but was very wet because of the fog, greens were semi hard as not big ball marks, but were a little slow, again because of the fog. The sun finally came out on #9 and it was a nice day, greens dried out and got a little faster, POP was good at 344.

Hadn't been to Mile Square for a while, so looked forward to returning. While not the most exciting golf course, it provides good solid affordable golf with adequate challenge, but not to the point where it will expose all your weaknesses.

Condition was actually better than I expected. Most of the course seem to have very thin fairways and super firm greens, but there was a decent amount of grass on the fairways, and the greens held shots fairly well. ( Or maybe I just hit a few good shots? ) The bunkers I found had nice sand, well raked.

My biggest regret was that I never looked at the map of the proposed new single course layout. I thought about it when I was about half way home. Guess that will force me to return just to satisfy my nature
