Heritage Golf did not acquire RR as previously noted. The deal fell through at the last minute due to “water related” issues at RR. This was very evident while playing the Valley course on 8/16. The Greens, 17/18 tee boxes, and sand traps were of typical high RR quality. While ~90% of the fairways were lush, hardpan and thinned out areas could be found scattered throughout. It did detract from the beauty of the course, but only came into play for me on 2 drives. I moved the ball laterally or back to a lush area within 10 feet. The conditions are not nearly as bad as last year. Played for the resident rate of $59 on a Monday and felt that it was still a good deal. I would go back if this work thing did not keep getting in the way.

Two weeks later and the course is still in good shape. $52 on a weekend is still a little steep. Got off 15 minutes late on a scheduled 8:00 am tee time and the round took 5 hours. I think there was a small tourney ahead that slowed things down.

As others have posted, nice layout at Soule Park. Course is pretty wide open, but there are some holes that require some thought. Greens were soft and a little bumpy, yet they seemed consistant. I was surprised in that I did NOT see too many unrepaired ball marks. Some hard pan in the fairways and can't tell the fairway from the rough. $52 with a cart on the weekend.... plus the long drive... I am not too sure it holds up in comparison to River Ridge ($50), Elkins Ranch ($42), Olivas Park ($45), etc...

Played twi-light at 3:50 on 7/20. At 6:35 we walked off the 9th green! 2 hrs and 45 minutes for 9 holes is unacceptable. Kudos to the staff for allowing us to go back out and play the front 9, rather than suffer through the agony that was occurring in front of us. We replayed the front 9 in 1hr and 45 minutes. I enjoyed playing the front the second time around, it really does help to have some course knowledge. As everyone else has posted, course was in great shape. Only complaint was that some of the bunkers were on the hard side from apparently too much water. I’ll go back and hopefully get to see the back 9.

Played both the Mountain and Valley courses on 6/29. I was a little dissapointed with the conditions of the valley. Started to see some hard pan in a few fairways and some were aerated to help with the conditioning. Greens and tees are still immaculate. Lots of grass clippings in the rough surrounding the par 3 14th. Still my favoriate course.
The staff was saying that Heritage golf was buying the facility from Troon and just about every scenario had them taking at least the valley course private. So if you enjoy this course, or are considering playing it, go out now before it is too late.

Course is in great shape, no signs of the aeration mentioned in the previous review. Got out at noon for $45 with a GolfQ.com coupon...what a great deal!! We will make the trip from Santa Clarita to play this track again.

They must have added sand to the bunkers, I was in several of the greenside bunkers and they were all in good condition. Agree with previous comment that the greens tended to hold more shots than on previous outings. Course is in great condition. See no signs of last year’s water shortage. Well worth the value when using the GolfQ.com coupons.

Went off at 7:30 on Sun 5/16. The winds were calm and it was a perfect day for golf. Course is in great shape. IMHO, this course is one of the best deals around, $47 riding on the weekend. You get lush fairways, smooth, firm and fairly fast greens, and a punishing rough. The only potential negative is that the winds can blow pretty hard here, but not yesterday. The course looks deceptively easy and appears to be wide open. However, the rough is thick and tall and good luck getting a good shot out of that stuff. It is hard to loose a ball, but when you do go just off the short grass, you will spend some time walking very slowly and looking straight down where you thought your ball landed. Although the young trees do not present much of a problem, the rough more than makes up for it. A good course for golfers of all abilities. We will be back

Course not in too bad of shape for a low cost public venue. Greens still a bit bumpy from aeration, soft, and on the slower side. Tee boxes and fairways were better than expected.
Pace of play was horrid. Played twi-light at 3:24 and it took 2:45 to play the front 9. Watched two 4-somes tee off #1 ahead of us. EVeryone played it up from the blues. Not a single ball in the fairway and no one hit it much further than 150 out!! DId I mention the 2 5-somes that were in front on these two 4-somes??? I guess you just can't go to Knollwood later in the day and expect a quick round. Never saw a ranger until dusk began to fall and then they were rushing us off the course so they could lock the gates!!

Played both the Valley & Mountain courses today for only $60 (total) with a coupon from golfq.com. That was the best $60 I ever spent. The entire experience was perfect, from the weather, to the course conditions, and the service. RR should be on everyone’s must play list right now. I have played the Valley course about 5 times in the last 6 months, but this was my first time on the Mountain course. Valley is one of the best tracks around and will continue to be my preferred course. Mountain requires some precision shot making and offers some very challenging holes. But I prefer the way Valley meanders thru the hills and valleys of Sand Canyon giving you the sense that no one else around. Valley does not have that same feel as you are against some private properties, roads, maintenance buildings etc...
For what it is worth....while we were having a few cold ones in the bar at the end of the day we noticed they were applying a light top dressing to the 18th on Valley.

Course was great shape, despite the recent heavy rains. Greens were softer and slower than normal, but this helped to hold several long shots that would have skipped through the last time I played TR. Some bare spots on a few greens, but they were being worked. No signs of excessive water, even the traps were in good shape. The are working hard to keep this course and the surrounding hills in great shape. Our 4-some finished in just under 4 hours. Never had to wait for a shot and no one behind us. A great round, except for that d%mn ed 17th hole, AGAIN!!

Course was in pretty good condition (excellent for a muni), but not as good as 2 months back. Some patches of nasty bare spots were showing up, but the GK crew had them all marked as ground under repair. This condition was NOT prevalent throughout the course. Sand traps were consistent. Greens rolled fairly quick and smooth. Some of the par 3 tee boxes were getting a bit chewed up and 13 still has a ridge running straight down the middle. While Olivas may be a few bucks more than the LA City courses, there is just no comparison in the quality of the playing conditions. Olivas is a good value and a great place to break in the new King Cobra Driver!! : )
