Played the Valley course twice this week. Played 12/28 and New Years Eve morning and also got caught in the frost delay. First group did not go out until 9:00. Course did a great job in getting everyone out, we ended up getting out only an hour later than our planned 8:45 Tee-Time. Finished both rounds in under 4:30.

Greens were in great shape, outstanding considering the time of year and cold spell we have encountered. Typical excellent overall conditions at RR.

Got out on 4/10 with a 3:00 tee time for $69 from golf.now. Excellent service all around. The starter got us out early and asked if we wanted to play the Palms since the Valley was backed up. Finished the front, as a 2-some, in 1:20 and made good progress until we caught up to several groups on the 13th. Still finished 18 in ~ 3:15. This is a nice resort course with some interesting holes. Greens were firm, but on the slow side and the putts never seem to break as much as expected. I would play again with the golf.now discount rate. If you are not staying at the Marriott, give your self some time to have someone get your clubs at the drop, park, pay your fees, and hook back with your clubs again. Easily a 10 minute process on a quick day.

Played 12/28 on a cold and windy day. Let me start with a significant annoyance ( I know the RR guys read these reviews). This is the 3rd time in a row that I have made a reservation on the Valley course and got placed on the Mountain. I actually made a point when the reservation was made to confirm that the time was on the Valley course and was told that "yes, we have you on the Valley course". Was fortunate that the course was not booked too heavy and was still able to get out on the Valley.

Course conditions were typical RR. Smooth and fast greens and lush fairways. Unfortunately, I saw that many of the traps were in good condition......

Got stuck beind a rediculously slow group of 3 guys and a single woman. The single lady was always on the green waiting for the rest of the group to catch up, normally a 5 minute wait. We had 2 groups waiting on the par 3 #11 tee waiting for the group to clear. Never saw a ranger and the group got to be 4 holes behind. the single lady eventually left the 3 guys behind. Ended up playing a 5.5 hour round on a Monday morning!!

Played Saturday 12/26 at 12:08. Completed front nine in 1:58 and the back in 2:20. Exceptional customer service and, as others have mentioned, the best GPS I have seen. The greens were rolling fast and rather smooth.

IMHO...this track is way over priced. $180 green fee ($100 TW) should get you over seeded winter fairways. However, the bermuda FW's were thinning out and brown. In some areas, you had a decent lie, but most of the FW lies were "tight".

The challenge on this track is your approach shot. Most, if not all, of the greens are multi tiered with severe slopes between the various tiers. You could land 5 feet from the pin, catch a side hill and end up 30-40 feet from the pin. Many of the pin placements were within a few feet of the slopes. You really need to hit your spots, or expect a few more putts than normal.....I had 5 3-putts on the front (16 HDCP). A single digit HCDP playing partner had a 5-putt on #7.

Not a good track if you like to use the big stick off the tee...I hit more Hybrids than Drivers. Most holes have specific landing areas you must hit as the fairway either necks down to 5-10 yards, or runs out.

I would like to get back and play Tustin Ranch with a small amount of course lessons learned, but with the current prices I will not return.

Got out Sunday 6/28 at 7:50a. Took over 5 hours to play, never saw a single marshall, and waited on every shot. Conditions were very good as previously reported by others. Same goes for the service, everyone was great. The lack of a practice putting green is slightly annoying, this requires the putter to be working. Was surprised at the number of un-repaired ball marks and un-filled divots. $73 for a weekend round with a cart is a bit high for me, do not think I will be back soon at those rates.

Went up and played LP 3/13. Took advantage of their email special and payed $25 with a free cart (made the free throw on the March Madness Special). Hard to find a better use of $25...Had an all time worst round, but the course was in dynamite shape. Greens were smooth and quick and barely an unrepaired ball mark to be found anywhere. Excellent overall course conditions (first hand experience with the many traps indicated they were in great condition). Excellent customer service. Just wish this track was a little closer to home, I would love to be able to call this my home course.

American Golf.......Please take Note: The course has gone down hill in the last two months, but let's get to that in a second. Something MUST be done with the Geese/Ducks at this course. The smell ruins a round, you need to get s&%t off your shoes and cart wheels. They are all over the place!!! Geesh! As for the course....played 1/31 and got out at noon. Round took ~ 4.5 hours (for a par 61 course) greens were a strength 2 months ago, today they were very inconsistent. Some I would rate as good, some poor. Many greens had excessive divots and large areas of unmarked GUR. Typical winter/muni fairways. Tee Boxes were generally poor to fair. Traps were sad! The rains passed thru 1 week ago, yet some traps were muddy and the others were hard packed. These traps have not seen a grate in weeks. Excellent customer service from the front desk to the starter to the marshalls. Saw the cart girl 4 times on the front nine (OBTW...cart girl rating was a solid 9!) but zero on the back.

Played 12/23. My first time out to Olivas after the remodel. I was looking froward to playing the course and was not let down. Played as cart path only from the rains previous evening. Agree with previous poster in that the geens and aprons were in great shape. Fairways were dormant and have seen better days. However, all G.I.R. were clearly marked and in most cases you still got a good lie from the fairways. Traps were consistant and of good quality. Although I enjoyed the round, not sure that I will venture out from Santa Clarita too often to play at these rates. I could have played RR for less.

Got out at 7:45am on 11/23. Greens were in surprising good condition. Rolled rather true with minimal bumps. Fairways were consistant and yielded good lies. Tee Boxes and traps were less than average. This is a fun course as you get to use just about every club in the bag. However, $44 (18 + cart) for a par 61 exec course is a little high. It will be awhile before I return. Same old problems with back ups on the first 3 holes. Kudos to the ranger who actually got a group to speed up play that had fell two holes behind on the 4th hole.

Got out (11/18) to enjoy the RR Player Appreciation day...Best $39 I have ever spent. If you have not signed up for their internet specials, you are really missing out. I would highly recommend a visit to the RR website to sign up. For $39 we got a fantastic round, a hot dog lunch, skills competition, and warm up balls. We won two certificates for a buy one get one free round (M-Th). Kudos to the RR staff. We had a great day.

The course is in fantastic condition and the greens are still the best around. 'Nuff said. Excellent service from the guys at the front desk to the bar tender and everyone in between.

Played Eagles Nest 3 times 4/20 thru 4/23. Greens were in great shape as the putts rolled smooth & true. Nice fairway lies and Tee-boxes. Sand traps could be better, but were playable. Nice practive facility.

Played 12/27 with a 9:30 tee time. It was a very cold, blustery day at RR. Course was in typical RR great condition. I had not played either RR course in about 10 months. Two noticable "differences" from what I had previously encountered...1.) the fairways were cut pretty tight and 2) The greens were as smooth as always, but were slower that in the past. Also noticed the greens being significantly softer, so much that you came across a fair amount of retained spike marks around the cups. Not sure if this was due to the cold, or the softer greens. The beverage cart came around ~ 6 times. I will try to get back to RR much sooner than my previous 10 month hiatus.
