The course itself was very challenging. Every green seemed to have multiple slopes creating multiple breaks. Missing the fairway means losing your ball.

Overall conditions were great. No complaints.


One and only complaint is with the staff. I scheduled a tee time the week prior. When we showed up to play, we were told that we could not play on the Champions course, and that if we were wiling to play quickly they could squeeze us onto the Legends course because a high school tournament was being played that day!

Needless to say, this was pretty infuriating. A tee time scheduled the week before gave the clubhouse plenty of time to correct this scheduling error for a tee time which should not have been made in the first place since they were aware of the tournament at that time.

Trying to throw us unto a course we did not want to play and telling us that if we played quickly we would be allowed to do so was completely unacceptable. For a PGA sanctioned course, they seem to not realize the importance of a tee time!

The least they should have done was apologize. Which they did not.

Because the tee time was booked using a gift certificate, we were forced to reschedule the tee time.

Due to the service alone, I will not play this course again.

Played for the first time (August 2009). Green Fee was around $20 with cart through golfnow.com

Overall layout was ok. A few really great looking holes with elevated tee boxes are probably the highlights. If the course conditions were better, I'd be willing to give it a second round.

As of the time I played, the conditions were disappointing for such a potentially great looking course. The other players in my group were also first-timers and agreed that they wouldn't be coming back under current conditions.



Cons

1. No driving range
2. Actual greens on the course were very slow and not close to the condition or speed of the practice green.
3. Pace of play was extremely slow. Played a foursome and took over 5 hours to finish.
4. Some really soggy fairways on at least a few holes in the middle of the afternoon. Not sure why.
5. 1st cut rough was fairly deep and much more difficult to get out of than any 1st cut I've played in the area.

Bottom Line: Fairly young course that perhaps needs time to mature. If conditions improve, it would be worth a round at least. Until I hear that they have, I won't be back.

I first played this course around March-April 2009. It's now my "go to" course!

Initially, I was attracted by the modest green fees. Now having played a good number of courses in the Inland Empire, I would choose to play here over 90% of the other courses I've played. All of which have higher green fees.

I have become a regular at this course, consistently playing Shandin Hills 1-2 times per week. In all the time I've played the course conditions have been good and consistently so.

Most players are probably 20+ handicappers, but the pace of play is usually still reasonable. Never had a round exceed 4 hours except maybe once.


Bottom Line: Best Value in the Inland Empire. It's worth a round... or 10.
