Saturday morning round in about 4.5 hours. The staff is friendly and the marshall made himself known a few times during the round. The tee boxes were a little beat up from all the play this course is seeing now. The rough is thickening up where it is being well watered but has lots of clover! The fairways continue to remain in good condition with a few tight lies during the round. The traps look much better but the 1/2" of sand placed in them IS OF no help to the unsuspecting golfer! The many bunkers I found appeared to look good but really weren't fair the the golfer with mud hidden just beneath the ball. The greens have quickened up to what is near normal for this course. Shots held well but the poa continues to advance itself on many greens. The location and rates continue to draw golfers back which is nice to see.

Early Sunday morning round in a little over four hours. The staff was friendly but a little confused. The carts continue to show their age but are still getting you back to the clubhouse. The practice facilities are small but adequate. The tee boxes had good coverage but a few were a little bit unlevel and home to the gofers. The rough was not very penal where is exsisted and on a few holes was mostly clover and dirt. The fairways were in pretty good condition with mostly nice lies and total coverage with no bare spots. The sand traps had nice fluffy damp sand that seemed to be as thick as butter. Hitting from the traps was quite and experience for our group. The greens were in nice shape but rolled a little slower than what we were used to playing on. Well struck putts held their line with not much break from start to finish. There are a few dog leg holes and water hazards on a few holes as well. Ths course is very flat and easily walkable for those who enjoy that. Everytime I have played here there have been quite a few beginers hacking up the place but seem to understand to keep moving. The rates and conditions are very fair for the area courses.

Early off on Sunday morning and done in under four hours. It makes a difference when your 25 handicap partner isn't with you! The staff is always friendly and on point. The tee boxes have greatly improved with most holes having nice turf but a couple are still a little ratty and not level. The rough is filling in with kikuyu as they continue to put a lot of water on everything. Finding yourself in the kikuyu sections of rough now make hitting a good shot a little more difficult. The fairways are being watered quite a bit and look as if they are starting to fill in, but you will still find sections of thin turf throughout the round. The traps have been trimmed up and sand added to many bunkers but still thin in some of those traps! The greens all have great coverage with an abundance of poa. There were very few ball marks but the poa makes keeing a putt on line difficult. You see a lot of snaking and putts not holding even if well struck. The tee times are ten minutes apart which is also great for a more enjoyable round. The continued course conditions are really nice to see. Keep it up and hold the rates

Early morning Sunday round in a little over four hours. This round reminded me of what this course can be. The staff was good and starter very friendly. The carts are dated with no windshields or gps but outlets. The practice faciltiy is adequate and usually busy. The tee boxes ranged from thin and sloped to level with good coverage. The rough is not present on many holes but was thin and patchy where it was found. There are several forced carry holes with most being on the front nine of this par 70 course. The fairways ranged from thin and wet to thick and dry with good coverage. There were a couple of holes that had new turf placed on the fairways that were roped off but you were able to play your ball from them. The traps were all thin and hard packed with standing water in a few. The traps were fairly well trimmed but in desperate need on truck loads of sand. The greens all had nice coverage but more poa than any course I've played. Good shots from the fairways would stop nicely but getting the ball in the hole was another story. Putts jumped and snaked on every hole which frustrated our entire group. The front nine is flat and the back nine has some elevation changes which seems to add distance. The views are nice on the back nine and the course is worth the rack rates. I would say that if they can continue to improve the playing conditions it will become difficult to get a tee time here.

Mid morning round on Tuesday in about 4.5 hours. Tee times are now 15 minutes apart which is so nice! The total experience here is top notch. The carts and practice facilities are difficult to top. The staff is friendly and effecient in all aspects. The rates have risen and I guess rightfully so for this course. The clubhouse is a little tough to find if you have not had a chance to play at Pechanga. The tee boxes were all if great shape but a few were a little firm for tee placement. The rough was cut perfectly and had complete coverage from the first to last hole. The fairways were all fantastic and tightly cut making for a nice contrast with the rough! The turf was damp enough that the tight lies were not a problem to hit good shots from. The sand traps were probably the nicest I've ever seen and had a chance to experience (a few times). I couldn't imagine any course with better maintenance of the traps from fairway to greens. The large greens were all almost in near perfect condition. The greeens here are so big that the smallest green is larger than others courses biggest greens. They rolled slower than they have in previous rounds but held good shots. There are subtle breaks on nearly every green that make putting frustrating at times. The scenery is hard to beat and the last couple holes make you want to come back for another chance. Highly Recommended

Early morning four hour round on the Creek/Stonehouse nines. Staff is friendly and all business. The tee boxes have improved since my last round and all were in great shape. The rough is still quite thick and was difficult in places to hit from. The fairways all had great green coverage which provided good lies. My only complaint with the fairways were the numerous unfilled divots by the lazy uneducated golfers. The traps have slipped again with some lack of maintenance. They have great sand in all of them but most were wet and starting to grow grass or had tree roots. The greens are in excellent shape and have sped up to almost normal speed. Once again golfer neglect was evident with the ball marks that were left on many of the greens. The course is almost always busy from sun up to dusk, which makes booking a tee time difficult at times. The rates and course conditions are difficult to beat.

Early am 3.5 hour round on a very nice course. The staff was busy and very efficient at their jobs. The carts have no gps but were nice as were the practice facilities. Tee boxes were all level and had excellent coverage. The rough was not very long just off the fairways but got longer the further one strayed. All of the traps from tee to green were great with near perfect sand. All traps had plenty of rakes and nice sand. There were grass waste bunkers on most holes that were at times a challenge to hit from with longer thick grass. The fairways sat down below the level of the houses on most holes that lined the course. They were in the best shape of any course I had played in a very long time. The word best to describe them was excellent! Most of the greens sat at a higher elevation than the fairways with fall off from usually three sides. The greens were in great shape but well struck shots were difficult to keep on the green with a lot of roll out. There were very few ball marks and most greens had little to no break. Water comes into play on a few holes and the wind adds to the challenge. A few holes reminded me of other holes on courses I've played over the years elsewhere. The divot mix was top shelf and everywhere on the course. A very nicely maintained well managed facility and highly Recommended!

Early Sunday am round in four hours. Played through a slow group at the turn only to be held up a few holes later by another slower group. The staff is friendly and carts are solid but have no gps. The rear tee boxes vary from level with good coverage to sloped with a thin shaggy mix. The rough has thickened up in the last two weeks where it's shaded and watered. Other sections of rough are thinner and drying out. The traps are looking better but still need sand. Those that have sand in them also have tons of small pebbles that do damage to your wedges. The greens are back to their usual quick smoothness with very few marks on any green. The rates and the fact they've kept tee times at ten minute intervals makes for a pleasant pace of play. Just hoping the course can continue to maintain the level of maintenance they have during the summer months.

Early Saturday afternoon round in about 4.5 hours on a very busy course. We played the Oak/Creek nines which were used for a Golden State Tour tournament this week. The tee boxes were all slightly dry and some pretty thin. The rough is very thick and about twice as tall as the fairway grass. The rough was thick enough to stop your shot but thick enough to make hitting a good shot a challenge. The fairways all have total green thick grass which makes the round so much more enjoyable! The traps all have very good sand but most still need some attention around the edges. The greens had hardly any ball marks with full coverage but rolled slower than I can ever remember. They were holding shot very well but were a little bumpy at times. I was told that they were quickened up for the tournament and were in excellent shape. The rates charged are very reasonable in comparison to other local courses and a bargain compared to those in other So Cal counties. Definitely Recommended.

Early Sunday morning round in about 4.5 hours. We were joined by two brothers who were friendly but one knew everything about anything! A set of earplugs sure would have been nice. The carts and practice facilities are kept up well. The staff is pretty good at keeping things going and running smoothly. The tee boxes had decent coverage but all were in need of a trim. The rough was pretty thick in places and thinner in others, but in better condition than in previous rounds. The fairways for the most part had coverage with different types of grasses making for a good cushion and lies. The bermuda grass has really filled in and greened up with the heat we've had in the valley lately. The traps are still extremely hard packed dirt on most holes with a few traps throughout the round having marginal sand. Our playing partners removed their balls from the traps when they found themselves in them. The greens all had 100% coverage and very few ball marks. The course has always had nice smooth fast greens but they were a little bumpy and probably the slowest I've ever seen them. It had been quite awhile since I had returned to play here because of their increased rates and the obvious maintenance neglect the course was in. I was very happy to see the course in much better condition than it was in the last few rounds I had played here. They do offer senior rates again on the weekends which are in line with the local competition. Hopefully they can continue to keep the course at the level it is presently at. Recommended.

Sunday morning round in a surprising four hours!! The staff was friendly today and they have new carts since my last visit. The carts have no gps but are comfortable and new. The tee boxes went from thin and sandy to lush and firm. There was only really one or two boxes that were not level. The rough was not very long when and where you found yourself in it, as there was not much to be found. Fairways were a mixture of everything but surprisingly had pretty good coverage and provided mostly decent lies. A few of the holes had turf peppered with clumps of green grass that made playing it where it lied not realistic. The traps have always been in sad to really sad shape with tons of pebbles and rocks. There were actually so many in most traps that you would have to remove them from around your ball or risk scarring up your clubs. The greens are always the best thing that this course has for the players. They are punching them this week but we were really happy with the condition they were in. The greens were a little bumpy and were noticeably slower than usual but had very few ball marks and held shots well. The layout and elevation changes here really do make this a nice place to play when the course conditions are passable. The rates are reasonable for what they are offering and the pace of play was from a dream compared to most rounds I've played here. They are working on a few holes on the course which is nice to see. Worth a try with the better weather in the coming months.

Second group off on Sunday morning Creek/Stonehouse and finished in just under four hours. The tee boxes are still thin and several were heavily sanded in an attempt to get some base for the grass to grow. The first tee on the Creek was a temporary set left of the large nuisance pine that needs removed or trimmed. The rough is fairly thick now making for more of a challenge if you're in it. The fairways have really come in well and are probably greener than I've ever seen them. Near perfect lies on every hole if you keep it straight. The traps were all pretty wet from the over night rain but have plenty of good sand and rakes. They did however all look a bit shaggy around the edges. The greens were all slower than usual and very bumpy on the Creek nine. The entire course is looking really great and hopefully will continue to improve.
