Played 4.17.10 and the course was in very fine condition. The greens were true and held approach shots. The majority of the break is towards the ocean. Fairways have come in and the warm weather will make the burmuda much more lush. The afternoon breeze effects play on hole 13 on, especially 16. One of the better muni's in southern California and on my normal rotation.

Played Saturday here partly based upon "Great" conditions rating on this site. The conditions were actually "Good". The greens were in great condition, but the fairways were thin with some brown spots, the sandtrap's had crusty sand and some tees were uneven, They are in the process of remodeling the clubhouse. The 18th hole has been shortened since the last time I played here with a new green. The old 18th green is the putting green.

Played Sunday the 28th. The effects of the prior day's rain showed as there were many puddles on both the fairway and rough. Pace of play was slow - 5-somes equals 5 hour rounds. However, the weather was perfect and the other golfers friendly. Easy course to walk and $36 LB resident fee for weekend rate is a plus.

This is a typical Bell design with doglegs and trees. Usually well maintained and the greens have improved since I last played here about 2 years ago.

Played 1/31/10 with Platopar. Greens were in excellent condition with good pace. The fairways are spotty since the bermuda goes dormaint this time of year. Tee boxes are uneven and worn and need some LTC. Typically Sunday golf of 5.5 hours, but it was a sunny day and we had ample time to finish. The more I play here the more I appreciate the greens. They have plenty of slope, some are raised and the green side traps can be deep with steep lips. Local rumor has legend that Gene Sarazen won a golf tournament here years ago.

Played 1/16/09 on a sunny and beautiful day. The greens were medium fast, some were bumpy, held well struck shots, but were hard when chipping. The rough was non existant with large areas with no grass, only sandy bare areas. Some fairways had ground under repair areas. No overseeding done and course conditions are better in warmer weather. The front nine plays easier with holes 14 to 18 offering a stern test.

After hearing strong reviews from friends and GK we decided to play on 12/29. A crisp clear day, good friends and a decent green fee of $60 for twilite were the best part of the day. I was disappointed with the quality of the greens - bumpy, bumpy and more bumpy. And somewhat slow. Pace of play was slow with waiting on most shots. As a result we did not finish. I was looking forward to hole 18 (you see the entire hole as you drive to the 10th tee - a long way) and number 16 which is the number one handicap hole.

I have played the game for many years and seldom see back to back par threes (holes 7 and 8) and the tee box on hole 15 can leave you clueless as were to aim (luckly the marshall came by to tell us). The course has many bunkers with excellent sand. One can actually splash the ball out.

The GPS system is excellent (distances to hazzards, the green and where the group in front is located - and their distance away. A few odd holes were local knowledge is a must.

I will give Telega another try in a few months when the conditions should improve and can finish.

Played 11/11/09 - got right out as a single. The greens continue to be very good as they rolled true and held well struck shots. Not many unrepaired ball marks as golfers are finally repairing their ball marks. This is probably due to the fact that many LBC locals play this course. While not the toughest track around, it is well maintained and a great value, especially with the LB resident card.

Played today for the 55 senior rate of $30. This is a unique golf course with a true links flavor. Large greens, fairway bunkers and the burn come into play on most holes. Strategy is a key here and local knowledge necessary. I enjoyed the course and will put it on my wintertime rotation.

Played 10/18/09 twilite special. The course is recovering from punching the greens and overseeding. It was cart path only. The course should be in excellent condition in a few weeks.

This is enjoyable course with many natural features. Do not be greedy, but keep the ball in play. The greens are tricky with a fair amount of break.

Played Saturday 9/19 - half of each green had been punched, but the flag locations were always on the unpunched side. I always enjoy Big Rec - cool breezes, reasonable rates (especially with LB resident card) and easy to walk. I often play as a walk-on single and can usually get out without too much of a wait. Take advantage of the first 5 holes on the front side as 6 thru 8 are difficult par 4's and 9 is a birdie hole. Number 18 is a great finishing hole.

Played 7/31/09 for $18 for twilite as a walker as a twosome with Plautopar. The course was in fantastic condition- both the greens and fairways. The twosome and threesome in front of us played most of the holes as a fivesome with five carts! However, their pace of play was not bad and we finished in 4 1/2 hours. The pace of play benfits from a course where lost balls are infrequent for players of all abilities. While not a strong challenge, the price and conditions makes this an enjoyable place to enjoy a relaxing round of golf. Their is no cartgirl and limited drinking water on the course, so come well prepared for the weather. The staff is friendly, especially at the 19th hole.

Played Sunday July 19th -- arrived as a single at 8am and was off by 8:20 in a twosome. Finished in 4 hours. This time of year is hot, so start early if you can. The name dscribes the course - a former dairy farm with a creek that runs thru the property. The course features many elevation changes that creates many natural hazzards. Also, the afternoon wind must be accounted for in short selection.

This course is 10 minutes from SLO. Fun track.
