Played this AM in a great 2:45 POP. Greens and tee boxes were done this past Monday but the aeration and clean up was some of the best I have seen. The tee boxes were clean and though you could still see the punch holes there was no problem finding a good spot to tee from. Fairways were clean, firm and gave great roll out in addtion to clean and good lies. If one kept it in the fairway the rough was never an issue. Traps were all clean and very easy to play from. Greens had been punched but they were exceptionally clean so chipping and putting was good though they were slow. They were also soft so you could go flag hunting w/o fear which was nice. Great service at check in and with the starter. I have said in the past that the cost for Sr's seems high but with the prices I have encountered at the many courses I have played in the past 3 weeks with those courses raising their prices the $70 w cart for a course in this condition is not totally unreasonable. Let's just hope they don't go any higher?

I played this AM. Greens came back fast from punching (still some healing to do) and they had all the sand cleaned off of them. The fairways are good. Traps are playable, though some need more attention. Very little rough anywhere Unfortunately they will be seeding (not aerating) the tee boxes starting Monday of next week. They will move the markers up as much a 50 yards on each hole to keep the course open. In talking with the Asst greenskeeper he said they will stay that way for 2 possibly 3 weeks. And NO the are not lowering the prices while the work is in progress. I saw no reason to rate the course given the current circumstances. And I will be playing elsewhere for the time being.

Played this AM early and had POP of 3 H. Had not played here in some time and they finally got some nice new carts but no GPS so bring your own. Check in smooth and great service from shop and starter. Found the course to be damp so not a lot of roll in the fairways but they were lush and provided good lies. No issues with the tee boxes. Bunkers were playable but some of them need more sand in them and those can be a problem. Rough was deep outside of the fairways and you need good fairway management to avoid OB and side hills into other fairways. Greens were all clean and chipped/putted just fine with good speed to them. Would hold high shots and release but low shots would possibly bounch over the green. Rate is still $54 for all players and I feel that is a good rate for the current condition of this course. And it seems much more busier than in the past. Recommended.

Out with first group this morning. Two people wanted to play slower so two of us moved out and had a nice POP of 3 H. No issues with back 9 players either. Check in nice and smooth and great service. Course was damp from overnight dew and watering but that was the only issue all round. Tee boxes all in good shape. Fairways good coverage but damp so not a lot of roll out. Traps were all clean and playable. Very little rough to deal with outside of the fairways. Greens though damp were firm and had good speed all round. Some of the best conditions I have seen on this course in a long time. Sr rate with County cart $39.75 with cart. $23.50 to walk. Playing early here is the key as I noticed lots of players on the front when we made the turn and lots of players waiting to tee off when we finished.

Played this morning. Customer service in shop was great. That about ends it. Late teeing off as no starter. First tee looks like a grocery line waiting to check out. A long line. Waited on every hole until the 4th and then a backup again on 8. No marshal was on the course. To many 5's walking and too many playing from the tips who should not be. For God's sake move up one or even 2 tee boxes there is nothing wrong with that. You don't have to play every hole up, just the ones you know you cannot reach anymore. Leave the ego in the parking lot. Between # 1 green and # 2 tee it is a mess from construction behind # 2 tee box. Course conditions are not good but not awful. Tee boxes were playable but shaggy. Fairways have coverage but they are not lush, but they are firm and do provide some roll out. Traps are playable but no one knows how to use a rake. Greens were the best part of the course. In good shape chipping/putting fine and holding shots. It's a golf course that gets a LOT of play and needs some order on the first tee and a marshal on the course. It's a nice layout and fun to play but not when its 5 or more hours (I quit after 13th hole). And I think they need to do away with 5's or make them ride. There is no reason that everytime one plays here POP sucks. Time and time again I see the same thing said by others about their round at this course. I am a Sr golfer and if I move around a golf course like some of these Sr's do my golfing days are over. I have more respect for the game of golf than to go out and embarass myself like some of these men/women do and ruin the day for others. That's my personal opinion OK don't take exception to it.

Played this AM even though they had aerated Mon/Tues. As one can imagine lots of sand and large holes given the shape of many of the greens after the hot summer. These won't heal totally until at least 2 weeks? And then next Mon/Tues they will do ALL the tee boxes. Markers will be moved up by at 40/50 yards according to staff. And they will stay that way for at least 3 weeks. Oh well time for a break from here anyways. And no they are not offering any aeration specials after talking with the staff. So now you know before you go.

Played this AM in great weather and POP of 2.5 H. Sr rate here is $45 w cart. Have not played here since last year and found the place in better shape than before. My friends say new management came in at about that time. Customer service great at check in. They have new carts and a very nice GPS unit on board. Starter was friendly and got everyone started on time. They just aerated last week but the greens other than being slow were very good. They were also a little soft so firing at the pin was a given all round (lots of birdies all around). Tee boxes were all playable. Fairways had great coverage but due to overnight watering were a little damp for early tee time. No doubt they are in great shape later in the day. Bunkers looked fine and heard no complaints. The course is not overly long but with the trees lining the fairways, water on several holes and deep rough it is not a push over either. Very enjoyalbe course and round of golf so it won't take another year before I go back.

Invited this AM for a free round and lunch today. Hard to turn down. Had not played here in quite some time and am impressed with what they have done here. All new driving range with Trackman. And it was packed this AM. Beautiful tennis/pickel ball complex as well. Found the course to be in great condition. All clean/playable tee boxes. Nice green fairways in between all Par 3 holes and nice green fairways on the few Par 4 holes. If one missed the green on a par 3 you had good lies and lush grass. On the par 4's the fairways were lush with good lies. Not much rough but you don't need any with all the OB areas one has to navigate. Traps all playable. Greens had been aerated and were in top shape but were semi soft but that was great because you could go flag hunting w/o fear. They chipped/putted nice all 18 holes. Yes it is a Par 60 but it has enough variety of holes (especially the back 9) to make it interesting, fun and challenging. Great customer service and very nice breakfast burrito. Recommended.

Played this AM. I have to say if your going to play here good luck if you don't start before 8 AM. And even then you can get chaos like we had this morning.The course IMO is poorly managed. The starter seems clueless in properly sending groups off and has no answers when asked why? It's like they have your money so just be quite and "enjoy" your round. Even the marshal is worthless IMO. He can clearly see that people are not staying up with the group in front of them but does nothing to move people along even after you complain to him. The condition of the course is just fine but its not enjoyable when you wait on every tee box for 10 to 15 minutes and groups stack up on the Par 3's. Tee boxes all playable. Fairways have good coverage and nice roll out, though some areas outside of some of the fairways are not watered (trying to save water I guess) and the ground is hard and you might end up in the hazard. So good fairway management is crucial. Traps are good and playable. Greens have been aerated but they all healed just fine. They have some firmness to them and chip/putt just great and hold nice high shots but will send the ball flying on those that are not. Sr rate is great with the County card $39.75 to ride and that includes the $10 reservation fee which is credited upon check in. LV is a difficult course w/o a doubt for good golfers and very difficult for the novice or not so good golfer. This should be taken into consideration by the marshals who can and should do a better job in managing the POP. And while you can't stop people from walking many should not be and not be so cheap and pay the $17.25 to ride. And there are many who should not be playing from the back tees either. A great course but the current management by American Golf is ruining a once great managed course by a great GM who many would know if I named him.

Played yesterday afternoon. Suprised how quite it was and able to play all 18. Mon only front 9 open. Tues only back 9 open. Course will aerate 9/30 and 10/1. And those greens need it. Rest of the course is in good shape but it will be at least 2 weeks before the greens will be ready. Still the best rate for Sr walker with Sr card @ $18. And customer service is always good IMO.

Played this AM in the first group out. POP was a great 3 H. Happy to report that the course is in great shape at the moment, compared to the previous review from June. Tee boxes all playable. Fairways mowed and providing good lies and some good rollout. Some of them were still damp so good lies but limited roll. Bunkers do need work no question about it. Rough is deep and many numerous OB areas to contend with. Greens were good (although my tee shot on # 2 plugged after a smooth one on # 1). But never had another issue after # 2. They chipped/putted very good all round and had good speed (not spongy like past times playing here) and very fast on downhill putts. Condition wise the course is in very nice shape at the moment. Customer service excellent in the shop. Sr rate w cart/LA County card was $36.25 ($18.25 of that is cart cost). Beautiful day with plenty of deer walking and laying around. And even saw two little bobcats which I had never seen here before. Aeration slated for next Mon/Tues.

Played today early and had a great POP of 3H to beat the heat. Took advantage of a $99 special re-opening and was not disappointed. Previous review is right on point especially with the greens and they were fast and true all round. Loved the new renovation and IMO it made the course feel more open and not as tight as before. Fairways are just terrific on every hole. The new green layout on 17 gave me the impression of being less intimidating. They did a great job on the entire renovation IMO. As mentioned no GPS on the carts? Maybe later? So bring your range finder. Terrific customer service and glad to have had the previous review so I had a good idea of what to expect. Recommended w/o fail.
