Played Tijeras May 7th at 8:30 am as a two-sum -paired up with two singles for $107. Pre-paid online didn't even go into the pro shop just checked in with the starter and teed off right away.

The course was in beautiful condition and played great. I started off hot on the day with birdie, birdie on the front nine, which flowed very well. We only waited on the first hole for the group in front of us to clear, and the rest of the nine was basically open, only seeing the group in front of us on the next tee. We finished at 12:50 with a POP of 4:20, we did not see a single person behind us the whole day.

The course itself looked beautiful with lush fairways and manicured greens. The greens were rolling around a 9.5-11 and rolled true. I thought the rough was grown out pretty well which made it tough if you did not hit the fairway. I didn;t find any bunkers during my round but they looked good as well. The back nine at tijeras always kicks my butt - as it did today - however I really enjoyed pin placements/tee boxes for the day. Overall I think Tijeras currently has the best price for what you get in OC!

Played Dos Lagos 8:30 AM on Monday, May 5th for $52, on a cold, rainy day to start. Check-in was very easy and fast - let us go straight to the box after paying. The starter was very nice and let us go out as just a two-sum. I assumed this meant the course would be pretty open on a rainy Monday morning but boy was I wrong. Ended up waiting on basically every shot for the front 9. Took 2:30 to complete and was not super enjoyable. It seemed as if there was one group that was slowlying the front up but no marshal in sight. The back nine went by a lot quicker and picked up but I still think a marshal was needed.

As for the course itself, the greens had been punched a few weeks ago and were just starting to heal up nicely. They were still pretty bumpy but rolled well and were pretty quick in some areas. Fairways were probably the best part as they were well maintained with not that many dead spots. Bunkers were wet all day but sand felt fine. Tee boxes were okay for the most part with some weird line up. The 5th hole green was either under repair or had just been recently damaged, as there were massive dead lines throughout the green. Overall I think $52 is a little steep for this course considering the condition and POP.

Played El Dorado Park Golf Course on Wednesday, April 23rd at 7:45am. The course was in great condition and the range was packed at 8:00am. $68 time, but the guy in the shop charged us the senior rate because there was a mix-up with the time (nice guy). The greens were in great condition and rolled very well. Probably anywhere from 10-11 and the fairways were also in great condition. We finished at 12:20 for about 4 and a half hours. We never felt rushed and only waited on a few shots - the pace felt good. Overall was happy with the experience although I would have a hard time paying more than 70 bucks.
