A muni course, priced incredibly well, with incredible views and tough greens. Its gonna be a long round, accept it and move on. That being said, the course is in incredible shape right now....
Played on 3/13, 9:48 tee time...got off only about 10 mins later so they were really trying to keep things on pace. Fairways were in great shape, with only very few grounds under repair areas, but they were well marked and nowhere really where if you had hit a good shot it would affect you. The bunkers (fairways and greenside) seem to have all be worked on also, as it took me a hole or two to accept that they arent hard packed any longer and you can take a good cut at the ball.
As for the greens....great shape, but they will be punching them within the next week or so sadly. The greens are smooth and fast, and also quite firm...so you need some really good iron shots/wedges to keep close to the pin and avoid 3-putts.
All in all, being almost a year since I last got out on this track, it was really enjoyable to see it in great shape. Yeah, it took a little over 5 hours to finish but when I play this course, knowing the views ahead...and the madness the greens can sometimes cause (regardless of what it looks like, putts ALWAYS break toward the water) as long as you dont have anywhere to rush to, just enjoy what is without doubt one of the more enjoyable/scenic courses you'll play for less than $50 on a weekend w/ a cart.
If anyone should find my game however, I think I lost it on the back 9...please contact me.

I have played C.W. a few times, and for a local municipal course it is a good fun/challenging course to a mid-level player. Recommended to get an early tee time and get there at least 30min early, as the starter is quite poor at getting groups off on time. Your typical California 5-somes are common so play can be very slow. As for the course itself, the fairways are pretty well kept with a moderate distinguishing from the rough. Fairway bunkers are not too well kept, but greenside ones are OK. The greens are much trickier than one would expect to find on a muni-course. Good roll, subtle breaks and not too bumpy.
Overall it is a fun course and well worth the cheaper prices than other courses nearby for twice as much (mainly SkyLinks).
Get out early and you will have a nice day, later tee times prepared to be sloooow and possibly not complete tthe round.
