Golf Course Reviews: California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Utah, Florida, Hawaii!I've only played this course once but it was very satisfying. I don't know why it's only rated a 6.9. The course is in excellent condition and has lush rolling fairways and undulating greens. There are some interesting holes with a lot of elevation changes and nice views. I remember that they water the the fairways like they were sponges though. My cousin was trying to come to a stop while turning and ended up doing a 450 degree rotation, much to the dismay of an elderly man we were playing with. Anyways, I would strongly recommend this course to anyone in the area.
Shandin Hills Golf Course is nestled nicely in a little, quaint valley surrounded on all sides by the ghetto. I'm serious, it's pretty cool how golf courses make the area around them so much nicer. Anyway, about the course. Shandin hills is a fairly easy, fairly plain golf course. The course is flat except the 6th, 7th and 8th holes. The 7th is a mid length par 3 with a receptive green but has a nasty elevation drop. This is the highest point on the course and provides a very nice view. The 8th hole is a massive par 5 with a another huge elevation drop allowing you to easily crush drives about 60 yards longer than usual; to add to the distance is the prevailing tailwind that is unnoticeable on most parts of the course. The course has some nice water features on the 4th, 9th, and 15th but nothing spectacular. The back 9 is much more shaded and narrow than the flat, open front. It has rolling fairways and more doglegs; it almost seems to be less traveled and better maintained. Keep one thing in mind: Sometimes when they mow the rough, they don't remove the grass shavings and this makes your ball almost impossible to find in the rough (This is especially prevalent on the 6th hole). Keep your drives in the fairway and watch carefully where they land. Lastly, I would not recommend this course for a lefty with a slice because every hole doglegs right or has out of bounds left.

This is absolutely the best course in the area. I would recommend it over the Legends course and nearby Oak Valley because the Champions has some spectacular holes. It's a little expensive and it's scorching in the summer but the condition is immaculate. I haven't been there in a while but I remember this hole early in the back nine called moonscape. It is one of the most spectacular holes I've played in the desert area. All in all, PGA of So Cal's Champions course is my favorite.
This is absolutely the best discount course in the area. It is a little more expensive on the weekends though. It's not spectacular but the condition is very good and provides a wide range of difficulty from the relatively easy white tees to the challenging back tees. I would highly recommend this course to anyone, but don't go on thursdays (That's when I go).
