Played 2-15-26 afternoon as a twosome for $35 walking finishing in a little over 4 1/2 hours with no waiting on the first six holes and then waiting for every shot through 18. Tee boxes were thin and bare in some spots and having to search for a level stance on most of them.

Played 2-15-26 afternoon as a twosome for $35 walking finishing in a little over 4 1/2 hours with no waiting on the first six holes and then waiting for every shot through 18. Tee boxes were thin and bare in some spots and having to search for a level stance on most of them. Fairways were okay with some good coverage mixed in with some thin and bare areas, decent roll out and just okay lies. Rough was not much longer than the fairways and in about the same shape. Bunkers for the most part were not in good condition, some with little sand and hard surfaces, and others with some sand but a lot of small pebbles mixed in, and occasionally some decent sized rocks. Although the greens looked okay they didn't play very well. Slow and bumpy with a lot of unrepaired and poorly repaired pitch marks. Hard to keep a putt on line. I don't play here that often anymore, and every time I come back the course conditions are very disappointing.

Out last Friday the 13th with a foursome, all riding and playing the whites. Not really a walking course for most people and not sure it's even an option. Last time I played here was about a year ago and about 25 yrs before that. Conditions on the day were solid all around. Last time, the greens were unexpectedly punched and sanded while this time around they were fine — runnin... » More

Out last Friday the 13th with a foursome, all riding and playing the whites. Not really a walking course for most people and not sure it's even an option. Last time I played here was about a year ago and about 25 yrs before that. Conditions on the day were solid all around. Last time, the greens were unexpectedly punched and sanded while this time around they were fine — running the quick side of medium and pretty clean.

Minor quips: the cart was a bit sluggish and the range has a touch of sidehill to it. Otherwise, perfect weather, some great views, the pace was good, drink cart came around numerous times. An interesting layout that can require specific placement and course knowledge to best maneuver some of the doglegs.

No reviews for 2 1/2 years so here is a current one.

Played this course once and awhile for 30 years. It has declined. Still playable. However, restaurant is closed. Driving range is closed. Hole 10 went from a par 5 to a par 3.

JC Golf is in charge but I am not sure what they are thinking. Not spending much on the course it appears.

Greens were OK and the fairways were overseeded and OK to play from.

Bunkers were dirt.

I would say that for this time of year, February, it is worth the green fee but when the weather warms up and the tourists leave I would not play there with all of the other courses to play in the area.

Let me start by saying I always enjoy coming to Marshall Canyon. It's my home course so I'm a bit bias. The course is in decent condition , and it looks like they are doing more work to improve it, which is great. I know the course well, but today I figured out why the round was 5 hours. It's when the pins are placed in tough spots on multiple greens. I average 32 putts per rou... » More

Let me start by saying I always enjoy coming to Marshall Canyon. It's my home course so I'm a bit bias. The course is in decent condition , and it looks like they are doing more work to improve it, which is great. I know the course well, but today I figured out why the round was 5 hours. It's when the pins are placed in tough spots on multiple greens. I average 32 putts per round, and today I had 36. Downhill putts ran completely off the green even when they were just tapped. I had 2 uphill putts that made a u turn and came back further than where I started. It was not enjoyable. MC putting is always tough, but this was unfair and slowed the pace of play substantially. Everything else was great. Make the pins more accessible, have more fun, and play faster!

There hasn't been a review for this course for a while. Played yesterday and found it to be very enjoyable. Great clubhouse overlooking the arroyo the course is located in. Practice facilities are ample, but range could be expanded somewhat as you are hitting towards the main road so limited distance balls are required.

There hasn't been a review for this course for a while. Played yesterday and found it to be very enjoyable. Great clubhouse overlooking the arroyo the course is located in. Practice facilities are ample, but range could be expanded somewhat as you are hitting towards the main road so limited distance balls are required. Easy walking course with overseeded rough, thin dry (not overseeded) Bermuda fairways, and greens could be very fast if they wanted to make then so. The rain earlier in the week slowed them down considerably but they were very receptive and putted nicely. Back nine has an usual feature in the four of the last five holes are Par 5's which can either make or ruin a round. Course was built in 1904, and it looks like membership is trying to lengthen course by adding new tee boxes. Several tee shots require you to hit over roads that cut thru the course. There is a creek that meanders thru the length of the course and comes into play on half a dozen holes. Large trees frame holes and several lakes provide protection on some short Par 4's.

An excellent, affordable option for membership if you live in the Central Riverside area. Can't wait to come back.
