Played today in a nice POP of 3 H. They are still doing some aerating as they were doing the tee boxes today. So with all the work they have done, the course is nice and clean and lush. But it is an over watered course on every hole. So drives really go no where and most balls come up muddy. The traps are playable thank goodness. But the greens are looking nice but they are slower than mollases. And with very little wind or sun the course is not drying out very well. So I guess we just live with it and ride it out. At least the staff is great and the food prices are good Wed through Friday. And the new carts are really really nice.

Went to play today. No notice that they had punched the fairways yesterday and finishing today. Place was a mess and patrons, especially a group having a mini tournament were furious. I played the back 9 only and every fairway was a mess. Like walking through a dog park with you know what on the ground.

Invited by my friend in SD to play here this morning. We picked here because it was half way for both us and we got an early tee time. 1st ones out so POP was fantastic. I have not been here for many years but after today I would have no hesitation in going back. New clubhouse is excellent as well as the food and service. Course is in great shape. They flipped the nines around for any of you who have played here. Its like (as many know) playing 2 different 9's. Elevation changes and 2 long par 3's on the front with 3 par 5's and 3 short par 3's and no par 5's on the back. It is a par 70 with 37 F and 33 back. Blue 5718, White 5396, Gold 4808. But the greens are not large and many of them are elevated from the fairways. Not a lot of bunkers to deal with. The course itself is in very nice shape at the moment. Though a little damp from over night watering the fairways provided some roll out but they are lush and had great lies all round. Tee boxes are all level and playable. Sand was a little damp so not optimal early AM but was only in one and out OK so no harm. Rough was no issue but there are OB areas and some creeks and water holes to deal with. Greens were all very playable to chip and putt on and held good high shots very well. The new carts with GPS are very good. Customer service was excellent at all levels. Cost was $55 but they gave both of us 10% off for being veterans and free coffee. Enjoyable course IMO and recommended. And for those of you close by they have a discount program on the rates

I played today on their birthday special. A great deal indeed. 1PLUS1 nailed it in his review of 5/27 and I cannot do any better. I concur with his post so please read it should you be going to play here. I had not played here in several years as well and what they have done since is just spectacular IMO. This time I stayed overnight in PS after playing The Stadium course rather than drive 350 miles in one day for a round of golf. So a short drive from PS to Rams Hill with a chance for breakfast and warm up was ideal. Had a great weather day and a great round of golf as well. Its a great venue and even though I had a free round I would still pay to play here. And when it comes to customer service Rams Hill has it covered in all areas hands down. HIGHLY recommended.

Played today. Also played in Sept after reopening and it has gotten better. The course is in great condition. Level teeing areas. Fairways are still great and providing excellent lies and roll. Sand was all playable in the traps no issues. And of course one has to be always mindful of the water everywhere. Rough was not an issue on those occasions I was in it. Greens are fast and firm but accept nice high shots, chip great and putt so very nice and true. Great customer service from everyone I came in contact with. Can't wait to come back and play it again.

Played today. The greens have come back in terrific shape at present. Great areation job done by maintenance. Fairways have good coverage but play soft in the AM due to watering overninght. No doubt they are firm by mid afternoon. Good sand in the bunkers and in excellent shape in the AM. Tee boxes all playable. What rough there is is not high but manageable. Great customer service as always from the staff. Tried Shot Tracker on the driving range and it is a nice addition to the range and provides good input to the various clubs used while on the range.

Played this AM. POP of 3.5 H. Concur with
RDDenn on his comments. Especially the dryness but I like that as it provided some great roll out all morning. Enjoyed the speed of the greens and having local knowledge really helps when they are like this. Always great to get back here and play given the distance these days for me and freeway traffic. Do miss Bob and his crew from years ago, as well as all the former guys like Gary, Mike and Mike behind the counter. But the coffee shop is a great improvement from years past. Still a great value with Sr county card and one of the best county courses around.

Played today. Greens have come back nicely after 2 weeks. But people are not fixing their divots on the greens. No issues with tee boxes. Fairways are green and provide good lies and rollout. Traps are all playable as new sand has been added to all traps. Very little rough on the outside of the fairways but what is there is playable. As always great customer service from Julius and his team members. And on Sunday they have a marshal (Ben is his name) and he does a fantastic job in keeping things moving.

Played today. Greens are healing nicely. Still slow but sand has disappeared and they are playable. Fairways are green but need mowing. Traps are playable but players are not raking them. Tees are all playable. Rough is playable. Excellent customer service as always. Restaurant open Wed to Sun closed at 3 PM for food service. Bar open until 5.

Had a small family/friends Easter tourney here yesterday. Course is punching greens next week Mon/Tues so the greens were not optimal. Traps were all playable. Tees as well. Fairways were dry but still had decent coverage. Very little rough to speak of around the course. They are also currently rolling out new carts as they arrive. Much needed. Excellent customer service in the shop by Julius and his staff as always. And great selection of food available in the restaurant afterwards.

If not for GDR23's review from Monday I would not have even thought about stopping here on my way home from Monterey. Thanks Gary. I have not played here since 2020 during Covid when the course was one of the first to open and stay open. I called in the AM before I left and they got me a time that would work just fine. Gary's review is what I expected and exactly what I found. But minus the wind and of course warmer given my time of play. A ball striker I am not (maybe occasionally) but he is correct for this course when it happens. I love the layout and especially the changes in elevation throughout. Truly a different experience than so many of our S CA courses layouts. And in all the time I have had the chance to play here I have never heard it calledLa Pirana but I can understand why. Highly recommended. Even if it is a long drive for most of us GKer's in S CA. A bucket list item for sure.

Played this morning. The purpose of my trip to Monterey was to play PB and Spyglass with friends coming from the East Coast. Was not able to play PB but did join them for Spyglass. It has been many years since I played here last and having played it many times in the 70's and 80's (yeah I am old OK) and a few times over the years since, I was really glad to get back. Played the first few holes just great but after heading into the woods I became a different player. Funny how that works. But on the back nine the old me showed back up and saved my butt. What can you really say about this course (except what the hell happened to the green fees LOL) other than what many GKers have stated. Tee boxes were just fine. Fairways are in great shape. Heard no complaints from anyone in the bunkers (I missed them all lucky me). I did find the woods a few times but playing here that might be expected. And the greens were in great shape for chipping/putting all round. I think this was most likely a one and done for me and I am extremely happy that I got one more round in at Spyglass to take me further down the path in my golfing life.
