Completed my golf odessey of LaPurisima, Spyglass, and Pebble on 4/12. We got out with a 9:00 tee time. This was the crowning jewel on a great 3 days with my father as I treated him to an awesome golf adventure. PB is truely spectacular. Waking the course with a caddie is a must. This is the best way to truely enjoy the many incredible ocean, hill side, and real estate views. It is very easy to lose concentration on the golf game as you become immersed in the experince (which is not a bad thing to do). I would love to get back and make a better attempt at the golf game!! They were tearing up the rough around the #8 fairway. Our caddie told us this was requested by the USGA as a condition to getting another US Open again. The winds really started to whip up by the time we reached #6. Ended up being a 2-3 club head wind from 10 all the way to 18. Very difficult to get a time unless you stay at the lodge (non resort guests can get tee times 1 day in advance) which leads to a rather expensive round of golf. However, I can't wait to get back. Spyglass might be the better golf course, but the history, scenery, and experience of PB can't be matched.

Played 4/11 and got out at 10:00. WOW!! Now I know what a truely great golf course is all about. The first 5 holes yield some spectacular ocean views. Holes 6-18 then wind thru the rolling hills of the Del Monte forest and gives you the feel of a South Carolina location. Course was in great condition, although the greens had been punched on 4/3, they still rolled pretty good. I rated them a "10" based upon them completely healing within a few days. I never thought that any course would be worth a $310 green fee, but I have changed my mind. I would love to get back and play this track. A wonderful experience that I would highly recommend to anyone. You can make reservations 30 days in advance, even without a stay at the PB lodge. I will try and post some pictures in a few days.

Played 4/10 with a 8:40 tee time. LaPurisima continues to be one of my favorite courses. Wish I could play this track more often. IMHO, best value course in So cal, by far. As others have reported, course is in great condition.

Played Sunday 2/19 and went out at 7:30. Fairways are thin, but the greens are in good shape. Not sure this is worth the drive at $60 (with cart), maybe in a few months.

Tuscany Falls is part of the Robson Pebble Creek complex. The course has openings for non home owners. Tuscany now has 3 nine hole courses open. Can't remember the names, but I played the original back 9 and the new 9. The original course is in great condition...lush fairways and T-boxes and firm, fast greens. The rough is dormant, so it is not too punishing. They did not overseed the last 4, or 5, holes on the new nine, so the fairways are brown, although you still get a nice lie. You would be hard pressed to find a better practice facility....2 putting greens, 2 pitching/chipping, bunker greens, and a third where you can practice shots from ~75 yards and in. The grass range is expansive. All in all, a good value for your money whne compared to the other area courses during the winter season.

Got out and played the local course for the first time in well over two years. Got out at 1:50 and played 17 holes. I was pleasantly suprised with the course conditions. Although the greens were very soft, the roll was not too bad. The greens are the best part of this course. Fairways, T's, and traps were all slightly above average. As many of the previous posts have suggested, this is a fun course that lets you use every club in your bag. Check out the first three holes as you drive into the complex. If there is a back up on #2, forget about playing and hit the range/practice green. If those first few holes are open, you can get around rather quickly. I will get back to Vista sooner, than the last two year hiatus.

Played 12/28, was the 3rd group out at 7:15. Got around in 4 hours and felt like we had the course to ourselves. Typical dormant winter rough at RR beautifully defines the fairways. Fairways were lush and in very good shape. The greens were typical RR smooth, still the best greens in the area. However, they have softened up a bit and are more receptive than in years past. This has improved the playability while still maintaining the smooth rolls. An overall great golf experience.

First the course......Greens were soft, in some places a bit bumpy, but in 7-8 shape. Fairways were NOT in good shape. Rather thin, some significant areas of ground under repair, balls plugging due to over watering, very disappointing.

We played 12/26 and they charged the full Holiday rate of $165 ea. I felt that this was the worse expense of a green fee that I have made in over 5 years. We battled the grounds keepers the entire round. From waiting for them to get out of the fairways (thatching), to having them rev up their tractors in multiple back swings, the greens keepers were a major distraction. For a $165 round, I would expect to not see/hear a single GK.

I will not be returing to Strawberry Farms, even if someone else picks up the tab, I could not make them spend that kind of money on this golf experience.

Played Sunday morning 11/20 and got around in a little under 5 hours. Front 9 played a little slow, but things picked up to a very enjoyable pace on the back nine. I am not sure why I like playing RC so much...never score very well. BUT, the course is always in great shape, very appealing to the eyes, always a tough tee time to get. Played with at least a two club wind Sunday morning.

Sorry Guys, I have nothing to say about the PGA So Cal Legends Course......... Actually, it would be nice to pull up the reviews and not see ANY reviews of the PGA courses. C'mom guys, that horse has been beat to death!!

Anyhow, Simi Hills is in great shape for a muni. Great value. They have been cutting the rough a little lower and the course seems to be playing faster.

Played in a tourney on 6/20. The course is in great shape with a practice facility second to none. Very challenging layout, pick your tees wisely.

The front winds it way thru a "valley" with homes perched on top of the hillside. Every bit of available land has a home/town house with aview over the course. You get the feeling the course is there only to provide pricey golf course views. The back gives you too many blind shots for my tastes, but has some interesting holes. Clearly a course you would have to play many times to score well. Both nines have the 5 FWY and the Old road to contend with.......

I will never pay the full rack rates to play this course. IMHO, an average layout, in great condition, but just not worth the $$$$.

Our 4-some played for a total of $100 ($25 each) with an email special....probably the best $25 I have spent in a long time. All of the other comments are spot on. Great course, beautiful setting, challenging, and in immaculate condition. Just wish it did not take me 2 hours to drive there, BUT, I will make the drive again to play this beauty in the not too distant future.

The only "less than immaculate" factor were the traps, but these were all being worked and filled. This is a must play.
