Played here to wait out the traffic before the ride home. Almost had buyer's remorse. All fivesomes and we were on a 3-hour pace for 9 holes. Luckily things picked up and it was only 2:40 Ish.

Solid locals course all around. Tees, fairways, greens all good. Wasn't in any bunkers but they looked playable if a little thin. Ended up very impressed with this course. It's a full nine-hole par 36 layout with some tough holes (448 par 4) and some easier ones. $15 to walk this one seems like a steal another $12 to ride, but very walkable. Played with 4 locals who play here all the time and had a lot of fun. I think the restaurant just recently opened for business. Well worth it if you don't have time for a full 18

Solid nine-hole course in good shape. Fairways, tees, sand, and greens all above average for $15. Good mix of holes #7 is a standout from the back tee over the water. A little hilly but not a bad walk. 3 groups on some of the holes, waiting on every shot 2 1/2-hour POP.

Fun little nine holer in regrettable shape. The only course in the area I could get on, and I can see why. Lots of brown all around and the greens were weeds. Birdied the first green so I guess it didn't matter. $15 probably overpriced but if they could get it in shape, it is a fun nine to walk. Holes away from the condos on the other side of the tunnel held some interest, shame it's in this kind of shape.

Played last week, wish I knew about the pizza GDR mentioned because I arrived hungry and was surprised to find no clubhouse only a trailer. Course in solid shape all around, some chunks of fairways are missing turf and marked GUR but I was able to avoid them.

I thought the greens were only medium speed, but they rolled smooth. Played the white tees at a little over 6,000 yds with a steady 2 club wind most of the day. Fairways are a mile wide, so the wind and the bigger than average greens are the main defense. I didn't play particularly well and still shot an 83 so I might try the blue tees if I get another chance to play it.

Paid around $30 for a golfnow 2:30 tee time that came with the cart. Course is very walkable, so I imagine it is one of the better values around. Waited on every shot but it moved along. I saw a gap on 17-18 so I was able to finish in 4 hours, but 4 1/2 seems typical.

Played last week as a reciprocal on my way south to Ventura. Teed off at 4:30 and had the place virtually to myself. I enjoyed the course and the layout after hearing some people dunk on it over the years. Great scenic setting and I got to play in less than two hours which automatically places it above almost every course in Southern California. (Public, private, or nine holes, LOL)

Course was in private course shape all around, however the bunkers are full of sand, but it is the brown and crusty variety. (I seem to play better out of that kind, so it was fine by me) As an aside when I was driving out past the River Course The bunkers were filled with blinding white sand that looked deep and fluffy. The greens were smooth and looked fast, but I thought were not even medium, not a great combination and they took some getting used to.


Four distinct par threes, some gettable par fives and fun par fours made for a solid layout. It is expensive, so I get why it doesn't get a lot of love, but they charged me the 9-hole rate and I was more than satisfied.

Course in about as good shape as it may ever be. Greens were like glass and demanded your full attention. Haven't played or practiced much lately so the greens had me scared LOL.

Wasn't in any bunkers (my hiddenbrooke superpower) but they all looked a little crunchy and in need of some sand. Tee boxes could use a leveling otherwise everything else was fantastic. Course playing firm and fast throughout. A real pleasure to play.

It's almost always windy but if you don't mind playing late Golf Now seems to have one 3:30ish tee time a day for less than $30 with cart. Highly recommended and glad to call it my home course.

I was pleasantly surprised by this course. Didn't expect all the elevation change or the big sloping back to front greens, made for a nice challenge. Slightly confusing crisscrossing layout kept me busy, glad I had a cart.

Course in all around private course shape that played long in the afternoon winds. If Johnny books another outing out there it is well worth playing.

Fun locals nine holer. Good place to get out and stretch your legs in-between SF and LA.
Course was in decent muni shape. Greens rolled fine, traps, tee boxes and fairways all acceptable. $10 to walk (another $12 for a cart) and just enough trees and green slope to keep you honest. It was a nice warm up on my way to Bakersfield

Fantastic old school course that ate my lunch. Got out as a reciprocal and they paired me with an employee as an ambassador. Wasn't too happy about that but he turned out to be a great guy with tons of stories. It was pretty busy out there and the round took an unexpected 3.5 hours, so it was nice to have the company.

This course is set to hold the 26 CA Amateur qualifier next month and I can see why.
One of the longest 6,300 yd courses I ever played. Front nine had a plethora of 400+ par 4's.
Kikuya fairways (no roll) and one inch of the grabbiest rough I ever played were brutal.
All greens were surrounded by deep big-lipped bunkers, filled with perfect sand.

Back nine suited my game a little better with shorter, more shot maker holes. The subtlety sloped greens had been small punched 10 days ago and putted just fine, my host said they are usually much faster and don't hold as well as they did. Can't imagine!

Just a great 1920's course with no gimmicks and well thought out holes. A real treat if you ever get the chance.

Teed off last wed at 4PM. Course was in very solid muni shape no complaints. Got a hot deal that I was late for (they were super accommodating) and ended up paying $14 with the cart figuring I had no chance to see the whole course. Got creative and bounced around to a few open spots and joined a threesome on 11 and we were done by 7:15.

Always wanted to play this old beauty, reviews haven't always been kind and pace of play seems to be a problem. I didn't encounter either problem and loved the layout. Greens were med speed and maybe a little bumpy. traps were muni fine, and I don't remember any bad lies. Recommend

Been playing here 30 years and bought a house here 23 years ago. When the course first opened it hosted an LPGA tourney and it was CPO for the first 3 years. Immaculate conditions and never a blade of grass out of place. It was a shortish (6700 from the tips) scenic Arnold Palmer design with beautiful bunkers, barrancas, elevation changes, and fast tricky greens. I would put it up against most public (and a lot of private) courses that I have played.

Fast forward thru the years, many owners and many changes. Several different golf management companies have come and gone, and Troon has run the place for at least 7 years. Staff has always been friendly and efficient.

Bunkers and tee boxes we atrocious for many years. Since I didn't want to smear my home course, I never posted a review. I used to play at least 100 rounds here per year. Since I'm trying to reach 1000 courses it's more like 12 times a year. If you made it this far into the review here goes.

Played Thursday and the course is in excellent shape. The rains have grown in the persistent dead spots in the fairways (no fairway aeration for at least 15years). They were a little long, but the ball rolled and sat up beautifully, (course was designed to play firm and fast). Tee boxes have decent coverage but could use a leveling.

The greens, always the best and most consistent part of the course, were smooth, fast, and spicy. No tap-ins, every miss was a 3-4ft comebacker. Greens this good this time of year always seem to get punched, so they are scheduled to be punched 3/23.

If you have played Palmer courses, you know how spectacular his bunkers can be, a few years ago they removed probably 40-50 bunkers that they weren't maintaining and tried to fix the 25 or so they left. It took a long while for many of those areas to grow in. With the recent rains I didn't notice those areas to be as scruffy. I mostly avoid those as the bad bunkers have trained me well. The sand traps that remain are still thin but playable.

This course really has everything, some courses you can lose a ball on every hole, this course you could potentially lose a ball on every shot! But it never plays unfair. Blue tees are 6,200ish and defend me from breaking 80 more often than I would like. I rarely play the white tees (never seem to play any better) but they are 5,800 and really change a lot of the angles and make it more of a target golf course.

I don't think they maintain a lot of the original black tees, but they are some of the most scenic parts of the course, even if you don't play them, you should check out 6,9,10,13,16,17 just for the views. 13 is a par 3 homage to the 12th at Augusta and the trek up the steps takes you to the highest point on the course. The hole was quite spectacular back in the day, with its intricate bunkering, as was the cloverleaf bunkers down the entire fairway of 14.

Wind is always a factor out here; I like to whip around after 4:00 so it can really howl. In the afternoon I fix tons of ball marks, but the greens don't exhibit any visible scarring, so kudos to the maintenance staff for getting them in the morning. This course made me the golfer I am today, straight hitter, not very long, good short game terrible sand player. Most of that is what you need to play well out here.

So, while the course will never be what it once was (alas we all can say the same)
It is still a great layout and perplexing fun, now it is in very good shape and well worth checking out.

27-hole parkland layout in immaculate condition. Staff was super kind in welcoming me out. Fun layout with beautifully sculpted bunkers, Augusta like. Took me a few holes to figure out they were fall off bunkers and if you weren't precise in your approach shots they would just spill off into the multiple deep, big lipped greenside bunkers. Greens were perfect and fast.

Looks like some of the holes were built at different times, so every now and then a hole would seem out of place. All the housing that boarders the course also looks multi-generational, mansions next to small ranch styles so also incongruous.
Fun layout highly recommend if you get the chance.
