Had an afternoon, after work tee time (1:30) on a Friday. That's when the member/friend could be there. Weather was perfect. I've always wanted to play the course but didn't know any members until my friend joined recently. So, I was excited. Approaching the course through the winding roads that lead up to the clubhouse you start to see some of the fairways. It is absolutely beautiful from afar and even more stunning up close. There seemed to not be one blade of grass out of place. The staff started to treat us like royalty as soon as they knew we were invited guest. Every member and staff we encountered were friendly and (5) star professional. The course is narrow but reasonable. If you are playing well you won’t have any problems getting off the tees and the par 5s are reachable with good tee shots. The greens were reported to be rolling at an 11 but I didn’t think they were quite that fast. However, they were in great condition and rolled true. Very fun course. Not stupid difficult but not boringly easy either. Bunkers were sandy and not dirt hard. Course record is still held by the GOAT back when he was a puppy. You’ll enjoy this hidden gem. Even at the $143 green fee for guest.

Drive a long way and passed up way too many great courses to try Rustic Canyon. I can not recommend this course. The $81 we paid was way too much for the conditions. The staff members were unfriendly and borderline rude. We rolled up there 16 golfers deep and not one player was fully satisfied. We spend a bit of money and gamble with each other so hole 19 is important. We decided to go to a local restaurant for our post golf activities. I will say however that the cart girl was a thick red head hottie and very sweet. She was about the only shinning star in this horrible place.
