Quite an interesting golf track, I must say. And in really good shape, too. Not what we Californians are used to - certainly not what I would call "lush" fairways (a bit in the hard side, actually, and thereby a little difficult to judge just how far a ball is going to roll - especially frustrating on some of the holes that are "target golf" and lay-up holes. I will stop short of calling the fairways "thin", or "hardpan" - but - I guess California golf spoils a man after awhile!

The greens are tricky...lots of breaks. They are in fine shape, though, although, again, a little hard for my style of golf. They hold wedges well....but longer shots seem to bounce and fly off the back side of the putting surface.

The tee-boxes are level, but some of them they are so pock-marked with divots that you have trouble finding a place to make a stance.

It was over 100-degrees when I played it (5/10/07) - and my biggest complaint is that the Igloo coolers were out of water on both nines. That's just wrong. And dangerous. A little more diligence is needed.

One other minor complaint....slow play. No marshall on the course. Also, we had a 2:22 P.M. starting time...but when we pulled up there were four groups ahead of us...I think we finally got off at 2:50 P.M. We barely finished (the sprinklers came on on the 18th tee and darn-near drowned us!) and got off the final green at 7:22 P.M.

Somebody has to keep the course moving.

The back-side has many holes with sever elevation changes. The design of the back-side looks like it was designed to bottle-neck. There are signs on the tee-box for #10 that clearly state "wait until green clears to tee-off ("to keep pace of play") - and - on the #11 (LONG par 3!!) a sign that says "wave up group behind you" and another that says "please hit only one ball and use the drop area of needed"

I think my group was the only group that adhered to all of these local rules.

Like I said - a marshall was needed!

Overall - a fun time and a tricky course...not too long....but it requires you to hit where you're aiming!

Lots of construction going on around the course...someday there will be lots of houses and the area will be really special!

How anybody looked at that land (an old rock/gravel quarry) and said "Oh, man - I think I can put a golf course in there!" - I have no clue!!
