It’s been quite awhile since I’ve posted or contributed to the site but I had to write a quick review on my round at la mirada. First off, since my last review of this place... I said it before and I’ll say it again. A lot has changed has changed here. The range isn’t just a hill with flags to hit to. They have actually made greens, bunkers and target areas (artificially, of course) to make pounding range balls a little bit more interesting. Chipping area does needs work but at least they have one. And right off the first tee, they added a very well placed bunker, in the middle of the fairway hill. Little things like this made you actually think about where you can miss, club selection and rollout. Before, I remember... you just pound the ball as far as you can and you should still be good. It was refreshing to see some real thought was placed into the changes. When I hit into a few bunkers, they were filled with real sand... which caught me by surprise because it’s been hard pan for as long as I could remember. And the greens when putting were actually decent, borderline good even. Some holes actually played fast and had break. Again... my memories here when putting was, it’s either straight or a cup left or right ... and not to mention “slow” so you better pound your putt. And to let everyone know, my tee time was 8:30am on a Saturday and we teed off at 8:30am. Saturday AM tee time here usual spells out “6 hour” round... but not today... a fivesome, yes 5 players. 2 carts and 1 walker finished our round at 12:30. Crazy fast, and if you ask anyone who has played here before, just crazy talk. Again, maybe I was lucky. Maybe a tourney was played here during the week making the conditions very playable... maybe it was just a one time deal where all the groups playing in front of us were serious golfers with great pace. But from what I witnessed... would not mind playing or practicing here again. It was ... dare I say it... an enjoyable round. There... I said it. Lol. Well I hope this helps out a few of you to give it a try and put La Mirada back in your rotation...

Haven't been on here for awhile so wanted to give a review at green river in corona. First off, playing in the afternoon vs early morning, it's two different courses. In the afternoon, the winds are howling. You may save on green fees but trust me... It's a whole different animal playing in the wind. Controlling your ball flight is a must. Real test to your game as the wind amplifies your misses. Lots of chances for scoring if your game is on. The flip side to that is... The big numbers are easy to add up as well. Putting really saved my round today as the greens were rolling fast. Really made it fun and rewarding making a few putts. I would definitely recommend playing here. POP was under 4 and half hours as a five some.

After a month long layoff of golf, thought to myself "why not go to industry hills Ike course"?!
Got out here with 3 of my buds and took advantage of the $60 Mondays and must say, it's a very nice course to play yesterday. Greens were fast and challenging. Like glass if you were caught on the wrong side of the slope. Birdies were taken as a premium. Was very lucky to collect a few. Layout here is a course you wouldn't mind playing over and over again. Very narrow at times and punishing on your misses. Would definitely recommend if your thinking about it.

Played here on Sunday. The wind was swirling and made the course a little tougher. Greens were a lot better than the last time I was here. Very fun track and I really enjoyed the layout. But I noticed with the lack of rain, majority of the lakes water levels have been very low. One lake was completely dry. CA needs rain.... Badly. That's another story...

Got out yesterday to los serranos south course. And as the others have said, this course is recovering nicely! Greens are almost 100% and roll fast and smooth. It's always a good time when they're rolling this fast. They must be preparing for a tourney or something. This course is long if teeing up from the blues. Blacks tees are deep! Distance is rewarded, as always. On some holes though, laying back is the best play. If your thinking of making it out here, would definitely recommend. Fun track!

Got out to Victoria this Saturday for an early tee time. We were scheduled for 8am but the pro shop had a tournament going in the morning and let us right away. Great job by the pro shop for getting us out early. As for the course, haven't been here in years and must say... Great job of fixing up the course. Greens were the greatest improvement. Not sure if it was cause of the tourney but rolled a lot smoother than what I remembered. This course is pretty wide open but does have some spots to avoid. Hitting it in some brush areas, you will have a tough time finding your ball. Knowing the course will help you playing your misses but they will have to be huge to get in trouble. Also this course is deeper than other public courses if playing from the back. Distance is greatly rewarded here. Overall would play here again, players here are respectful and keep it moving.

Played here this Sunday and must say when you come here, you feel as though you should score well. Thing is, it has wide open fairways, not much OB and not a pond/lake in sight. Which makes it seem so easy. Then your approach shots to very small greens happen. If your short game is on point, you will be scoring very low here. Also Putting on the greens, really isn't much to it because nothing breaks drastically. Good to know if you ever have a round here. Would definitely come here to tune up your driver and sharpen your short game skills. Deceptively long track, when playing from the back. The long ball is rewarded on this course.

Came out here to play El Dorado Golf Course. Have always enjoyed this course. That was until now. Nothing wrong with the course itself. Greens are fast and provides a challenge. Pace of play was horrible. Tee'd up around 1pm and with the sun setting @ 7:30pm this Sunday... +6 hours and can't finish a round of golf? They need to do a better job of marshaling the course. This is what's wrong with Golf today. Killing the enjoyment for the rest of us.

Played Black Gold on 4/5/14. It was my buddy's birthday week so he wanted to play somewhere challenging and nice. Black gold is just that. Very deceptive because the yardage (depending on where you play from, we played from the Blue Tee's) for this course isn't that long. Best way to describe it, black gold is a "target golfer's" course. Even if you throttle back on the holes, you still need to be accurate and hit fairways, a must if want to score well. Greens were about 90% due to the aeration from a few weeks ago, but still rolled very nicely. The Proshop and Starter were very friendly and nice. Gave us some great advice, "most of holes break towards Disneyland". It was huge in our game knowing this. Overall great experience. POP was about 4:30 to 5:00 hours. Pretty good for a Saturday afternoon. Would definitely play here again.

Played this course yesterday and had a great time. Tough little course in the Riverside/Norco area. Greens were pretty fast with a lot of break at times. Fairways also get very narrow at times which makes this track fun. Straight ball is rewarded on this course. Great views with lots of elevation changes. Price isn't a deal breaker either. Would definitely recommend.

So much has changed here at la mirada golf course. Must say that the biggest improvement are the green conditions. Ball rolls so much better than before. Just that simple fact made this course great. Still a long round but that's usually the case at public muni's. Fun course to play...
