Played Westridge May 18. I found the course a good deal at $55.00. As stated previously, the greens are hard and fast, so it might take a couple rounds to dial this track in. I played the tips, and it still is not a terribly long track. Shot making is everything! Keep the ball in the fairways, and below the hole.
Tees, traps, fairways all in great shape. This course is very beautiful with nice views. I enjoyed myself quite a bit, and didn't play particularly well, so that says something right there.
Teed off at 11 as a twosome and finished before 3. It was a nice treat, and not terribly expensive to play this nice, challenging track, with very few other golfers around.
A solid 7, almost an 8! I'll be back.

Ahh El Dorado....
One of my faves, and yes the greens were not as nice as they have been. A touch bumpy and inconsistent. Overall the course was very lush for eldo, and the course is always a challenging track. You must find the fairways, and from there keep the ball below the hole. This is a shotmakers course, tight well defined holes, but still sneaky long.
Higher handicap golfers will struggle here, but it's a good solid test of golf.
I will be back often!

Played Shorecliffs on Saturday, April 30. I drive from Long Beach to play, I love it! The course is rough around the edges, but it's a 130 slope golf course, with 18 challenging holes.
Yes the sand isn't white and fluffy, and a few tee boxes are uneven, but the greens are nice and fast, yet receptive to a well played approach shot. You will be using every club in your bag on this track. It is definitely a shot makers course.
If you're a higher handicapper you'd probably be better off avoiding this one, but for the lower handicapper, that's value oriented, the "ditch" is a must play

I played tuesday mar 29. The resident super twilight starts at 2 pm. $16.00! I teed off as a single and caught up to a twosome for the back nine. This is my third round since the re opening. I like the course. Yes they did raise the price, and yes, long beach residents do get a decent break in relation to non-residents (non residents super twilight isn't until 4 pm!), but Skylinks is a much tougher, fun test of golf than it was before. I like the new course. It is similar to the old skylinks, but overall a great improvement. They did just aerate a couple weeks ago, and the greens are not back yet. Givve it a couple weeks!

I played lakewood on 3.10. I play here fairly regularly, but it had been a few months. The course has dried out nicely and is very green and lush. The greens are a touch slow, but for the amount of play the course gets, it's certainly understandable that the greenskeepers let the grass grow a touch. The tees, fairways, and bunkers are all in great shape.
Best of all, I played Friday morning, wide open. Only a couple singles on the list, and we got right out.
Can you tell this is one of my faves? A great golfing value.

I played Diamond Bar for the first time march 2. I'd always wondered about the course, cuz it's right off the 57 fwy., and I drive by it all the time. Very pleasently surprised. I went out as a single, and was able to get a time the night before, at 10.07. Showed up at 9.00, and got out early with another twosome.
The course played long!! The tips are 6800. I played the whites, which are 6500 yds.
With all the recent rains, the course played LONG!!
The course has nice character, alot of doglegs, and only a couple of spots on the back nine were muddy. The rest of the track has drained nicely. Best part of all is it's only $21.50 to walk the course during the week. Tough to pass up!

played ED on mar 1. Still flooded in parts from all the rain. I'd give this course a couple more weeks to dry out. They are still unable to mow several fairways, and the rough is a nightmare. If you must play here, bring plenty of balls.
