Played the classic on a beautiful Thursday. Course is near perfect. I forget how fun the desert is in December and January. Greens perfect and fast, fairways lush and nice lies all day. Rough has not grown in completely but was in good shape. Bunkers nice and takes on the carts so everyone keeping them maintained. This course is hard and has a ton of water so bring lots of balls. Covid in effect but not bad, had a great lunch too and food was great. Service was five star all around.

Played Saturday mid day. Course much better than it was a month ago. Not nearly as wet and greens better, 4 is still a mess and the edges of most were still dead from some error made by a GreensKeeper but were fast and in great shape once you were on them. Pace felt slow but we still finished in 4:20. Service was good from check in to the cart girl. Rough was there enough to bother you but not overly penal. Sand was good in both fairway and green side bunkers. Course will only get better in the next few weeks would be my guess. Fun track and you don’t need to sell a kidney to play it.

JC GOLF.... I don't know what JC is doing but they are really screwing up the courses I like to play. For some reason, they are punching four greens at a time and only half the green. This drags out the process for months in what would normally be about a 3 week period. I guess this way they don't have to tell anyone they are punching the greens or doing any work on the course to maximize their revenue. This is going on at the Crossings and Encinitas Ranch and Twin Oaks. Whoever started this experiment needs to stop and just do the course and close for 2 days like everyone else does. The fairways and tees were so wet they were almost unplayable. There was not a dry spot on some of the tee boxes with casual water so bad we were sinking into the ground.
Greens were OK, with 4 or 5 sanded and punched and a few were great and whatever someone did to the first green, but there is a giant dead line across the entire first green and of course, the flag was just above it, so anything short of the flag, you had to putt through it.
Fairways were mixed bag with some being punched and so wet they were hard to play from and some ok.
I was not in a bunker but most were very wet and a few had standing water.
I am going to not play any JC courses for at least 3 months or until they finish the fall maintenance, that now takes 3 months to do, instead of 3 weeks.

Wow, unbelievable that they are doing this and my guess is, it is all revenue driven.

Had the opportunity to play here for the member guest. Course is fantastic. Great condition all around, the layout is really fun and requires you to move the ball both ways. Bunkers in great spots and really fast and firm greens. Thick Bermuda rough and gives some tough lies. Lots of fun if you get the chance to play.

Played Sunday around 9. Greens surprisingly good after punching. Should be great in a few weeks but not as bad as we were prepared for. The over seeding actually was more of the problem. Tees had long grass and hard to find some spots to tee it up due to the long fluffy grass. Rough was just that and lots of water on the course. Traps great and customer service good too. Enjoyed the day even with bumpy, punched greens

Played Saturday at 1030. Course packed but pace not bad, about 415. The course was very wet, don’t know why they are watering so much but it was crazy how many fairways and rough areas that were muddy. Greens are a mess, number 4 should be completely replaced and whoever is doing the spraying of the pesticides has wrecked the edges of all of the greens. I guess all the good supers are over at Torrey getting it ready for the open, so screw balboa. Cart girl was awesome and saw here 3 or 4 times, bunkers were in good shape too. I love this track but the city really needs to give this course some love.

Played Saturday and it is a shame they are punching in a week or so. Greens are fast and really fun right now and in great shape. Fairways are good and typical hard and fast, rough is hit and miss but not bad, bunkers were ok but mixed bag of fluffy to wet but all had good coverage of sand and were playable. Tee boxes were the worst part of the course and are becoming un-level on a few of them. Great customer service but bring cash as bev cart only takes cash. Fun track if you can play it.

Played on Saturday morning and pace was good, no waiting and finished in under 4:30, which is great for the crossings. Greens great and rolled smoothly. Fairways lush and rough was exactly that, rough. Balls settled to the bottom all day and it was very thick. 2nd shots and chips were challenging and needed your full attention. Tee boxes nice and sand was good all day.
Course is in great shape and is a fun challenge right now, especially with the rough up like it is right now. Good to play in the morning because the greens get pretty beat up throughout the day because they are fairly soft. Putting can be a tough in the afternoon.

Played the Creek/Stonehouse combo and the courses are in great shape. Greens rolled fast and were in great shape. Fairways were perfect and the rough was uniform and good. Sand was unracked and could be hit or miss but that is typical with Covid. The greens were as good as any course in north SD or Temecula that I have played recently. Really fun and well worth the $45 dollar green fee. Only issue was the $20 a guy for a cart fee.

Get out and Play the Creek, great conditions now.

Played thursday afternoon and the course was very busy but played in about 4:30, so not terrible. Course itself is in great shape. Greens were great but a little on the slow side but rolled very true. Fairways perfect, tee boxes have a few areas that are not flat but always had some spots you could find that were flat, sand was in good shape and great for having no rakes.
Cart girl was great and around often and check in and everything went smooth with good customer service all around.
Fun day and worth it today.

Played ElDo Tuesday and got around in under 4 hours. Course is in good to great shape with the only real problem being the sand traps, most hard and not cared for but that is what we deal with in Covid times. Greens were a little bumpy but were rolling well and had some speed to them. Fairways lush and never a bad lie if you were in them. Rough was enough to make you think and had some really thick areas around the greens. Love the layout of this course and it is in good shape right now.

Played on Friday and the course is in nice shape. Pace was good, no waiting. Greens great, soft and smooth and fairly speedy. Lots of unrepaired ball marks, fix your pitch marks folks. Tees nice, fairways in great shape and rough uniform. Fantastic customer service and overall really fun day. Expensive for what it is but fun track overall and in good shape.
