Round two on Easter Sunday as we ended our weekend of bowling and golf by teeing up at 1:30 with rain drops starting on the first tee box. Facility and Staff were very friendly and helpful in giving us the layout to expect. Great practice facility with nice music playing from rock speakers in and around the driving range and putting green. onto golf, Tee boxes were perfect, no issues on any holes. fairways were in perfect condition with rough surrounding the fairways at 1 to 3 inches. Greens were firm and fast rolling true on some tough pin positions,bunkers were full and sand seemed heavy to hit from. The rain really came down on us on the par 4 4th hole but when we got our bag covers out and protected what we could of our exposed golf gear, it stopped raining and the sun began to peak at us from time to time, a lot of unfilled divots in the fairway, C'mon Man, grab the bottle and shake some sand out ! Little to no wind made the day simply wonderful and it was a great way to close out round 3 for the weekend. I would play this course every week if I could.

Day two of after bowling golf started out at Paiute Snow Mountain. We arrived to a very strong Southerly wind that was like playing in the Inland Empire in November. These courses are so beautiful even with the terrible wind conditions. Tee boxes were flat, groomed and easy to find a nice spot to hit from. Fairways were tight and green everywhere, some minor lazy ass divot damage, rough was a bit penal with 1 to 3 inches in most spots without any bare spots to be found, well except that brown sandy stuff with the prickly trees all over the place. Lots of water comes into play on a few holes, especially the signature par 3 which none of us hit but I escaped with a lucky park due to a nice lag from the fringe. Greens are recovered from the punching in early April so the ball rolled great from all parts of the greens. As we ended one of my buddies said, Hey we gotta stop to buy some balls before we go to TPC, as He left a dozen behind at Snow Mountain.

Played on 420 day but I do not inhale. Was in Vegas with bowling pals to bowl the National Tournament being conducted at The South Point Bowling Plaza and with a 7am Saturday squad we booked three tee times at 1:00, 1:10, 1:20 to forget about our struggles on the lanes. Bali Hai was the prefect remedy, despite winds that bordered on hurricane conditions at times we were still able to take in the beauty of this course and have a wonderful afternoon trying to guess where the wind would take your golf ball. Conditions are top notch, greens are almost recovered from large hole aerification but the putts rolled well. Tee boxes were flat and no blemishes to be seen, fairways were a treat to play from, easy to hit your ball as a reward for finding the fairway. Rough was thick in most areas and not easy to hit from but allowed you to advance the ball a good distance. Bunkers were mostly nice and fluffy with the exception of a few green side bunkers that were lacking in sand depth causing the dreaded bounce. Worth it ? Yes, and you're in Vegas, if you didnt golf you would spend a lot more at the tables.

Played an early twilight round on St Patricks Day with my Neighbor who is new to the game but has lots of potential and He loves this new game He discovered. We played along with a Father and Daughter that were a joy to play alongside. As expected the course is very green from all the rain and the fairways were in the best shape I have seen at Prado in a long time. Of course it is still bumpy and you need to chart a proper path for your golf cart. Greens were punched two weeks ago and are still recovering, slow but rolled ok with some bumps when you hit one of the aeration holes. I missed 5 birdie putts that just wouldnt fall and left me a tap in. Tee boxes were kinda long in the tooth but we just dealt with it trying to find a good place to put the peg in. rough is very penal, long and very few open spots as is the usual. Bunkers were hard dirt except for some near the greens, I only hit two and got out fine (Inland Empire golfer experience) Word of note, they flipped Butterfield 9's and we tee'd off on 10 thinking it was 1 and played two holes before realizing our error.

Was fortunate enough to join up with fellow GK Gurus yesterday at The Goose, played along with Jim, Rob, and Matt. Great guys to enjoy a beautiful day of golf. Goose Creek hosted the SCGA qualifier prior to our tee times and as expected the tees were moved back on most holes and the pins were tucked into jaw dropping locations, greens were running about 12.5 so they were very fast but rolled true, hard to get the ball to grab the edge and fall in, you needed to be dead on the center of the hole. Fairways were like carpet with just a few areas recovering from the overnight rain we had. Sandtraps were full and not too wet so easy to recover from errant shot in the bunkers. Tee Boxes were perfect, little wet on some holes but easy to find a good spot to put your peg in. Rough is deceptively penal and you will find your ball most times nestled into a blanket of grass making it a challenge to get the clubhead through. We had a prevailing wind which is common for Goose Creek afternoons so you had to adjust on the fly to get the correct yardage to plan on hitting. Thanks to Ross and the staff at Goose Creek for giving us golfers such a great facility to enjoy the greatest game.

Played with my club last week and the course was what I expected in late fall. Tee boxes were thin on some holes but easy to find a level spot to put in your peg. Fairways were thin but very playable if you found a flat spot hopefully. Rough was thin/wispy grasses we are used to in the I.E. Bunkers were a tad wet but I didnt have any issues getting up and down. Greens were quick with some pitch damages that some lazy people dont fix. I birdied the 9th hole number one handicap so at least I had one good moment on an otherwise poor playing day for me.
Customer service was great.

Played this course on May 20th, second off early morning, warmed up first on the beautiful range and then putted a few minutes and then we just walked to the starter and said ok we are ready, no one behind us and we only waited on a few shots for the couple in front of us. I really couldnt appreciate it entirely as my energy reserves were drained after playing the day before at Woodhaven and two days total sleep of 9 hours is not enough for this old dude. Onto the course, a beauty, tee boxes we played were the greens, 6600 yards. flat, level and easy to put your peg into the grass to tee it up. Fairways were pristine, easy to hit from, not too many unrepaired divots,(come on you have the bottles, use them). Rough was about 1- inches long and playable. bunkers were fluffy, only one had some hardpan, and most were pretty wet from the morning irrigation. Greens, I love to putt on desert bermuda and these greens were excellent, nice roll and able to be firm at the hole to drain the putts. Only draw back was nature giving us some pretty steady wind, but its the desert, dont play if you cant tolerate the breezy. Best part, 3 card poker at Agua Caliente was very generous to me so they paid the green fees

Got out with good friend, Mike. Paired up with two great gentlemen from LAPD, we played from blue tees and Mike played from the white tees. First the tee boxes are historically an issue at Hidden Valley with bumps, uneven boxes but I was very pleased with the conditions of the tee's all very level, easy to find a good spot to put your peg in. Fairways were in good shape, tight and a few wet spots but good drives were rewarded with a decent lie, except where the slags didnt repaid their divots (come on, just put some sand in your crater) Rough was thin and some bare spots. Bunkers were an issue which is normal for the Inland empire from all the wind we experience, hard packed with the clay bounce we are used to, so you must create your sand with the big downward blast. Greens were medium fast and rolled good. It was an enjoyable round and I was happy to see how green the hills of Norco looked at Hidden Valley.

Played with group outing on 1-7. This course is just not up to par anymore. I know its the winter and turf is dormant but when you hit a drive down the middle of the fairway and your ball ends up sitting on hardpan dirt or in a overgrown hole it turns a fun day into a why didnt I stay home and work around the house. Tee boxes were of with some crowns and divot damage, fairways I just described above. Rough is either thin grass or hardpan caked dirt. Greens look nice but are very bumpy, not what Los Serranos used to be. The only good was the bunkers, raked and full of light sand made playing out of them a better reward than being in the fairway. Hey just sell it and build houses on top of this cow pasture

Played with my club on Sunday Oct 29, 2017. $85.00 for a Sunday tee time, let me just say it isnt worth that price. When conditions are similar to a course like Whispering Lakes, it is a let down. Tee boxes were not level on most tee boxes with bare spots. Fairways, I didnt hit a lot of them but when I did was I rewarded ? No I wasnt, either laying in a soaking wet patch of grass or dirt, lumpy grass sitting in a partial divot. Rough was normal, thin with dirt patches, greens were good but slow, many pitch marks not repaired due to lazy inconsiderate golfers. Bunkers had enough sand to get the ball out cleanly. Beautiful facility that I have enjoyed for many years but the course is not up to par anymore, and this has been a problem for a long time. Very sad

Got out early Sunday, I didnt see anyone in front of us so I think we were first out. Played with some great friends and had a good time. Tee boxes were in good shape with some tees making you look for a place to hit from, fairways were rewarding if you hit them, rough was thick in spots and of course Yucaipa has the long rough like you are playing the British Open. Bunkers had enough sand to play from, greens were very wet as was most of the course so they were slow but rolled good, downhill putts were surprisingly quick, only had one 3 putt and it was my fault and had 32 putts for the round hitting 44 % of GIR. Now I pay attention to my percentage of GIR after the posting on the bulletin board. I like Yucaipa golf course and its worth the drive. Always good conditions as they recycle their water.

Played 5-21-2017 with my golf group with 20 showing up to play this goat farm. Tee boxes were ok just had to hunt for a spot to put in your peg. Fairways were thin with some decent lies to be had if you held the slope and didnt run into the rough, the rough is the thick grass that a ball gets lost in so hitting from some spots was challenging. Bunkers were ok but not raked very well and I found a few that I was still able to recover from with a well placed shot. Green were running medium fast and of course challenging with the slope of the greens (the land of 3 putts) Customer service was fine. Didnt interact with any except the snack bar to get a cool drink afterwards. Nice day, not a good score but I worked on hitting a fade and won one CTP.
