Played at The Golf Club of California yesterday 3/31. I had a groupgolfer voucher I needed to use before it expired. It was good only weekends only after 11:00, so I called ahead in the morning and they said they had a group right at 11:00 I could join as a single, which was perfect. It had rained a little bit in the morning, so their members club tournament started a little later than normal and pushed back the regular tee times, so it wasn't until about 11:30 before the group I was in teed off. We were first off behind the members and it was very slow play on the front nine. But they started as a shotgun, so they finished on the 10th hole and after that it was smooth sailing. All in all, the round took about 4.5 hours which wasn't bad on a Saturday.

I really enjoyed the course's layout. Even though the course winds through a community, the course itself is much less "residential" than I expected. Lots of great scenery and a "secluded" feel on most holes out there. I liked that every hole had a different design and look, so each hole presented a new challenge. It is a challenging layout with lots of hazards to contend with, so bring plenty of balls (both literally and figuratively). If you are hitting well and playing the right strategies, though, I think you can score well here. But if you are off (like I was), it can be a long, tough day.

The course was in pretty nice shape. Greens were in great shape for the most part. Any traces of the recent aeration are all but gone. A little bumpy in a few spots, but overall receptive on approach shots and generally quite smooth on putts. Greens probably running a little slower right now than I imagine they normally do. The fairways and rough were decent. Still a bit thin and/or patchy in some areas as grass is not quite fully matured from winter dormancy yet, but nothing that affected play. Overall in good shape and well worth the visit!

I played on Sat., Mar. 24 and found little evidence of the aerating that was done toward the beginning of the month. I really love the layout and general upkeep of this course. I found the conditions of the course to be not as good from the last time I played but in consideration of the season coming out of winter, it definitely was playable and kept up better than most other courses. The greens were a little on the dry side but rolled true. Fairways were dry and there were many divots in certain spots on the course. The tee boxes were pretty good and level. My one major gripe were the conditions of the bunkers. They were consistently thin. All in all, I had a fun time and would definitely recommend this course.

Played Sat Early A.M. 12-3-11. Was expecting very cold and windy weather, and it turned out perfect. Golf course is very nice. the fairways should be opened for cart traffic in about a week. Tees level, sand awesome and the greens smooth and medium fast. They really treat you nice here. Range balls (grass range), a very helpful tip sheet and water is included. Course is tough but fair. If you play the back tees, you need to know how to work the ball both ways. about an hour drive from O.C. Put this on your must play list.

Fairways were overwatered due to overseeding; sometimes had to hunt for a place to take relief from the casual water. Greens were excellent; smooth and true, with medium pace. Bunkers were excellent. The pace of play was quick at a little under 4 hours (even being behind a foursome most of the round), and customer service was excellent. First time I've played this course, and I loved the layout. The layout is varied and interesting, and makes you think about how to play different options on each hole. The aesthetics of the course are great, and the views of the surrounding hills are lovely. Once the fairways grow in for the winter this will quickly become one of my favorite courses.

The course is in great shape except they are overseeding the T boxes but otherwise a great value if you get one of the first few twilight rates. Greens are in excellent condition, trap have plenty of sand and the fairways have more body to them than in previous visits. A must play!

Played a very enjoyable round with GKer zachary at 9:50AM on a sunny Monday morning, 9/26/11. Got a $42 rate on the course's website and jumped at it. I really enjoy this course and it was in vey good shape - greens were very good, held shots, putted true at medium-fast speed. Not that many ballmarks. Fairways were generally good, although we encountered a number of wet areas, and sprinklers were going in targeted areas on several holes. Our twosome was behind a foursome but they moved right along and we layed in 4 hours. Friendly pro shop guy, free range balls, very good food at the grill afterwards. No bathroom on the front 9 after #2 (!). Highly recommended - too bad it's so far off the beaten path, and getting there is a pain with the construction on Hwy 76. Upscale homes and very quiet ambiance in a natural setting. If this was closer to the I-5 corridor I would play here much more often.

Very enjoyable round! I forgot just how much I like this course. Condition was good, not great, but very acceptable. Some issues on the tee boxes and greenside bunkers, but otherwise the entire course was fine. I would like this course better if the holes were more proximate to one another and made walking for practical, but still one of the better courses in the area
