Played the Champion course for the first time today. The fairways and greens were very nice. Hole placements were a bit tough though leaving you no room for mistakes. Worth every dime to play at this course.

Best conditions ever, Its a true PGA course. Kudos to the superintendent

This course is in the best shape I've seen it since the day it opened. It just keeps getting better and better.

It is windy some days, but for the most part, I found that Champions keeps me focused and is very fun to play.
The beverage girl was very accomodating and the staff was very knowledgeable.
I love this track, it is awesome.

Played PGA SOCAL Champions and Legends for first time 11/5 and 11/6. I can't say enough great things about these courses. I've been to Sherwood Country Club and I never thought I would see another course so greatly manicured (especially not a public course). Boy was I wrong! Both Champions and Legends were immaculate. Not only was the grass lush and green (greener than green), but everything was cut just right. Fairways were cut low, rough was about 3.5 inches, bunkers were in great shape and the greens were perfect. Oh not to forget...An $80 weekend green fee is dirt cheap for courses of such calibur. I live more than 80 miles away, but I'm definitely considering playing either of these courses at least once a month. Hats off to two great public courses.

Looks like conditions are changes for the best. Alot of the bare areas in the fairways are filling in and the greens are not as spongy. The tees are still like walking on a giant sponge but all in a... Continue »

Played on 10/26 and found the course in very good condition. I believe a professional tour qualifier is being played next week, and the course looks ready for it. The greens were excellent and the rest of the course was in good shape. With the exception of hole 11 which is playing as a par 3 rather than the par 5 as listed on the scorecard. Still an excellent track and well worth the green fee.

Here is the latest update on the Champions course and it isnt very positive. I played yesterday with a former Champions tour player and between holes we discussed the course condition. I remained unbiased so as not to influence his comments. He also wondered why the course was so wet that many of our drives remained within inches of where they landed. They have several wet roped off areas in the middle of fairways where carts and play are impossible. By the way, it hasnt rained here in weeks. Look back several weeks ago to my comments about the soaking wet area just in front of the 14 th green. I landed a perfect iron from 200 yds. that stuck like a dart in the wet ground. My shoes end up muddy like I just played a round in the rain. They have a roped off area there so why dont they simply let it dry out? I made some inquiries from some employees in the know and they told me that the main concern is to prepare the course for the upcoming champions tour q school. That explanation didnt make sense to me. Why would the course have to be a mess up until then? By the way, if you are wondering why my last comments were so positive, it was due to my attempt to be positive and more of a head in the sand attitude. I played this course for the last five years and have watched a rugged, back to nature experience, turn into a bad dream. Stand on the 13th or 14th tee and look at the once green hillsides that are now construction zones for some of the ugliest homes I ever saw. For those of you who know something about seed germination and how plant life rejuvinates, you will see why the remaining course vegetation is begining to lose it's density. The Legends course will be next, because I understand that a road is planned right through the course behind the 14th tee. I suggest patronizing other courses and letting these guys know that, while we understand the importance of economics, we dont have to give our dollars to an overcommercialized venture that wrecks havoc on the golfing experience. Just one golfers opinion.

I played the Champions and was very pleasantly surprised. The greens were much improved and held shots perfectly. Most of the fairways were adequate with the exception of still being too wet and some verticuting, but still fine to play. We are beginning to see signs of cleaning up the areas surrounding the course where there has been major housing construction. I was very disappointed to see that the pristine land along fourteen, fifteen and sixteen, which were once designated environmentally sensitive and where we were once not even allowed to enter to find lost balls, is now dug up for more housing. Someone must have lined their pockets to pull that one off. I think this is a great course and worth the money, but feel cheated by the economic circumstances that should have been foreseen by the original planners. The surrounding land should have been bought by the SCPGA and they could have partnered with a developer whose profit motivations would have been tempored to create an atmosphere that didnt reek with commercialism. The SCPGA would be sitting in a great financial position today if only they hadnt allowed themselves to be duped into accepting the free land for the courses. They sold their souls in my humble opinion.
