Played this morning with the Orange County Mens Club teeing off at 8am from blue tees playing with good friends Patrick, Melanie and Kevin. This Sunday it was all grass on the driving range and after a few warm ups off we went. Carts have GPS and Bluetooth so one could play their music if desired. This course is 10 minutes from my house and I always seem to forget about it. Fairways were in my opinion wide and very nice however on 2 others they were roped off and resodded according to marshals so if ball landed in there just remove and drop outside of it. Tee boxes are all level and well maintained, bunkers had nice white sand in them and were very easy to play from. Greens are almost completely healed from aeration another week or 2 and they will be perfect. Greens had a lot of subtle breaks and they were very good to putt on and they held their shots well. The course I thought was in fantastic shape and I would play it again anytime. Now I’m not sure if the course is worth north of 150.00 is what I believe the rack rate is for Sunday Morning but it’s definitely worth the 75.00 rate during the week and if you have the loyalty card and you are a senior it’s even more affordable. The restaurant is also particularly good as well. Definitely a must play if in the area…

Played the Dunes course yesterday May 2 with Michelle and her 2 friends Shawna and Jaime. After a simple check in we hit a few warm ups and today it was grass so after a few and some putts, we were all set. First let me say I love to play any course at PGA West ( yes even the stadium) because I feel they always treat you like you’re a member and they are so nice. I teed off from the whites while the ladies teed off from the red tees. There are some elevated greens here and if you are short the rough awaits you. Fairways in fantastic shape and fairly wide so one can just let it rip. The ladies thought the course was a little tough and I said I think this is the easiest of all the courses here at PGA West and they all shook their heads in disbelief. Water on many holes some with carries and others where water is on one side of the fairway. Tee boxes all were nice and level and divots filled in. Didn’t see any ball marks on greens which is good, as for the greens I thought they were smooth, firm and quick but not fast. The more I play it the more I like it and it is quickly becoming one of my rotating courses. I was not in bunkers today but it did look great firmly packed. I enjoyed playing with the ladies today because they are fun to play golf with and they are pretty good players. I always highly recommended playing here.

Played the GK outing with good friends Gary, Wendy & first time meeting V. She is an extremely nice person and a very good golfer. It was a beautiful sunny Sunday midday afternoon. Names were on cart so check in was simple and off to all grass driving range. I always love these outings because I get to meet up with friends and catch up and we always enjoy playing together. I played the lavender tees and the course was in fantastic shape all the way around. Fairways were outstanding while if you strayed a little off the fairways the rough was not so bad were you couldn’t have a shot. Greens were excellent and lots of subtle breaks left me scratching my head at times. Sand was packed down in the many bunkers I found but it made it easy to play from. Although I didn’t get to stay for the post round festivities I have eaten there before and the food is fantastic and with good friends it just makes the setting perfect. A great time was had by all and a big thanks to Johnny for all the hard work he does and I would play Desert Willow again anytime. Highly recommended…

Played Redhawk today on a breezy and cooler day this afternoon teeing off at approximately 1 o’ clock. Driving Range is closed for renovations and I stopped at Temecula Creek to hit a few warm balls. Played the blue/white combination with Vince, Mark & Misako which made for a very enjoyable round. The course is doing lots of improvements now as evidenced with some heavy equipment on some of the holes. I didn’t remember much about this course especially having not played it in the last 10 years. Check in was very easy got the key to the cart and off we went, carts are very basic with no GPS. Tee boxes were mostly level with a few a little uneven. There was a group in front of us but we never really waited. Fairways were very nice and green and saw no bare or thin lies which made it very playable. Rough not to existent with the exception of a few creeks with very little water in them. Bunkers nice and compact as I almost holed a few. Greens are recovering nicely from punching a few weeks ago and are a little bumpy but not much and still have some speed to them. To me the course is very playable and has some elevation on a few holes all which made it very fun to play. The course is in nice shape now and I definitely would play it again. Definitely recommended..

Played the Huntington golf course today as part of the Golf moose outing. Checked in with Johnny and chatted for a minute and then off to the range to hit a few balls. I played this course about 10 years ago but don’t remember anything about it so I was looking forward to it. Got to play with Perry, Lindsey anf first time meeting Dave Connally, a pleasure meeting you Dave. We teed off on number 1 on a beautiful but breezy day and off we went. I love the private clubs that have the nice gps and speakers included and these carts included coolers for both driver and passenger a very cool touch. Carts were also very comfortable with very thick and plush seats. I very much like the course with left to right and right to left holes and wide fairways made for a very fun day. Maintenance staff were out there most of the day and it looks like they were punching certain fairways but that didn’t influence tee shots or anything. Greens were recently punched probably 2 or 3 weeks ago still a little bumpy but were ok. They were fine to play from. We saw cart girls a couple of times and a snack bar was also opened as well. I had great day playing with the guys and always enjoy playing with Perry and I am looking forward to the Desert Willow outing. The Huntington Club formerly Seacliff is very nice club with a great staff and if given the chance I would play it again no questions asked.. Definitely recommended..

Played Mission Hills North with a friend of mine Steve who has a home on the 12th hole. We teed off as a twosome at 10:00 and saw no one in front of us. Course right now in excellent shape with tee boxes looking nice and green and divots filled in. Fairways were firm and us 2 old guys got lots of roll from the firm but beautiful fairways. Greens were firm but held shots well. We played the front 9 in 75 minutes plus hitting a few extra shots as well. On the back Steve said hi to a few of his neighbors and we stopped just to get a drink and still no one behind us. The only time it’s like this is maybe in the summer after 12 noon. Anyways course in great shape and the staff is always great especially Mike the starter. Highly recommended if in the area

Played here this morning with the SCGA outing this morning teeing off at 10:25 and I don’t remember playing the north before so I jumped at the chance. As with the prior review the course has outstanding views from virtually every hole and I saw many sailboats along with people just yachting around. I won’t go into much as the previous review was spot on, some private clubs could take a lesson on how locker room and other amenities are, they are truly first class. I thought my group Mary, Cindy, and Danny were great along with a perfect day made for a perfect day of golf. At 375 during the week and 425 on the weekend it maybe cost prohibitive but they have programs that make it easier to play with less down than joining a private club. Highly recommended if you get the chance..

Played Mission Viejo CC today with the SCGA outing and was pleasantly surprised when running into Wendy and Perry it was so nice to see them. I played with Chris from my Los Verdes Mens Club and 2 other very nice guys named John and Jim. It started out a little cool and windy but warmed up nicely. After a few swings and chips off we went. We teed off at number 16 which by the way the course is very difficult to navigate so signage anywhere and it seemed like blind leading the blind, however we found our starting point. We started on a par 3 and we all played the white tees. Carts had a very nice gps system and music speakers as well. The tee boxes were mostly level and divots were mostly filled in, fairways were recently mowed in fact the maintenance staff was mowing on some of the fairways we were on. Fairways were very nice to hit from and for the most part very generous. If you missed the fairways rough was tough not sure how to describe it but it was sticky and thick and as my partner called it a “ tough tossed salad”. I was in a few traps and the sand was nice and compact and you could hear the thump from the sand. Greens were recently punched but I didn’t think it made too much of a difference because I thought they rolled fine mostly because I made most of my putts. After the turn I was pleasantly surprised that the club provided us with lunch, the choice was hamburgers or chicken breast, salad, fruit, chips, cookies, brownies and soft drinks and bottled water. I thought the back side was a little tougher than the front and it is very hilly in some places. Overall, I had a great day with lots of nice people and a very nice course and if you get a chance to play it, I would definitely recommend it..

Played Arrowood today teeing off just after 11 with my wife and her parents for their birthdays.
They all played the forward or Green I don’t remember which but nonetheless they were upfront and I played the Silver or Eagle tees which was right around 6300 yards. Check in was simple and range was very busy as well as the Top Tracer area. Anyways we hit a few warm ups and off we went. Tee boxes all level and all in very good condition and fairways were recently mowed and and ball rolled out very good even with plenty of grass in the fairway. My in laws aren’t the most astute golfer’s but they enjoyed themselves and on their birthdays that was all that mattered. Bunkers had nice compacted sand and very easy to play from while the greens had recently been punched they are still a little bumpy right now but in a week or 2 they will be fine. The food is great there as well as the staff. A great time was had by all and the course will be in fantastic shape in a few weeks, definitely recommended.

Played Mile Square today teeing off at 11:45 and course was very busy as well as the restaurant and driving range. I played with Vince, Chris and Gus and we all rode and played the white tees. Tee boxes were all level and some have been resoded and I didn’t see too many divots so someone is filling them in which is good. Fairways were recently mowed and most of the fairways if not all were in excellent condition however if you’re a foot or two off thick rough awaits you. Bunkers have way too much sand in them and I plugged a few times however the course is making a lot of positive strides around the course which is a good thing. Greens are firm and hold shots well and are great to put on now. The course is great to play with generous fairways and a very nice layout now that there is only 1 course. A great time was had by all and I would play it again anytime. Definitely recommended..

Played Los Verdes this morning and didn’t really see a whole lot of people playing. Before I get to the review number 9 is playing as a temporary green while they do some sort of maintenance and while they’re at it they should put red stakes just to the right of the as tee shots are constantly making their way down through the trees and roots and such but that’s my 2 cents. The cat on hole is also doing fine. As for the course the tee boxes are mostly level and they recently cut the fairways so it seems like the ball was rolling out more and they seemed a little more firmer. Bunkers had plenty of sand and easy to play from but was only in 2 on hole 2 and on 10. Greens as always seem to roll firm and quick. Our ace of play was exactly 4 hours with 3 riders and 1 walker. The course is always great to play because of the design and it’s fairly generous and it the views are always great. Definitely recommended..

Played in the Golf Moose outing today and was paired with Vince (stickboy) Lindsey, and 2 other gentleman but I’m sorry I don’t remember their names. Weather, well let’s just say it was sprinkling when we started on what was a little confusing shot gun start. Our cart said 16 A on the Valley but starter told us to follow group ahead of us so we ended up on 7 Lake which is a par 3 over water. The course is in fantastic shape right now with fairways being somewhat generous and really looking good. As we started to play it stated to rain more and more and after we played 4 holes it was pouring I suggested we go back and wait it out which we did. About 30 minutes later it stopped and we played 2 holes and was pouring again. We are now on the short par 3 with Johnny doing a closet to the pin and Lindsey sticks it to 8’ in the pouring rain. Again we decide to go back to wait it out and by this time people were leaving. Our other 2 guys left while we just waited as there was not going to be a refund or return trip I told Vince what else do you have to do, so we waited. We wait about 45 minutes and the sun starts to come out and we tee up on Lake 1 and proceed to play all 18 holes. The was some standing water but the course drained really well. The bunkers I hit from were really soft from the rain and easy to play from and the greens were firm held shots well and with all the rain were still very quick. The staff here are very friendly and very accommodating and the course is outstanding.
Overall, despite the bad weather a good time was had by our group and if you get the chance to play here I would highly recommend it.
