We played Mesa Linda on Friday June 29th at 8:08 AM. The Ladies Group was playing Los Lagos so we went to the short course. The course was in really good shape and the greens rolled true. This course is tricky, while it is shorter than Los Lagos you will find some of the par 3s are pretty long and the greens are tough to hit with approach shots. Tee boxes were good for the most part with a few beat up and should have been utilized differently. The fairways were full and in good shape. The rough is tough to hit out of sometimes. The grass can grab your club. I was in one bunker that needed some more sand but otherwise the bunkers looked to be in good shape. The speed of the greens were consistent throughout the round.

This course is very challenging for the first time player. It has great architecture that can be appreciated only after you play it and realize where you should have played instead of just firing away from the tee box. If you have an opportunity to play it you should.

I played Black Gold at 8:50 on Sunday morning and it was in pretty decent shape. The tee boxes were a little beat up but for the most part you can find a flat spot with decent grass. Fairways were good to very good. The course was a little damp so there wan't much roll-out. The rough was fairly decent to thick in some areas. There are some places that are burned out but I would call that minor. I was in a few bunkers that had really good sand. It was still early so it was fluffy and easy to hit from. The greens are good but a little slow. They'll probably play a little slow for a while. Staff is always great and if you can find a discount coupon it is worth the green fee. One thing to note if you haven't played here before is the front nine and back nine play quite different. For bogey golfers the front nine is much easier than the back so be prepared for an increase in scores on the back. The blues have a 128 rating on the front and 134 on the back.

The wife and I played here on Sunday around mid-day and it was a nice enjoyable round. Pace was 4 1/4 hours for us and we were following a foursome in front who moved along pretty good. We only waited on the three final holes and didn't have a back-up behind us even though we were being followed by a two bag and there was a two bag behind them. The course was in really good shape from the tee to the greens which is about what I expected. Some of the views and layout of the course are really special. At $80 for full price it is steep for the area but for the conditions, pace and overall enjoyment of your round I would say it's close to worth it.

This was my first time playing the course. Our tee time was for 7:28 Saturday morning but we were able to tee off about 10 minutes early. I didn’t have high expectations for the course but it definately won me over. For the fee I think it is definately worth playing. A few holes are goofy but they are manageable. There is a good mix of holes with length, doglegs and even green size. You will have a good mix of challenges.

Eagle Glen is a fun course to play and a bit of a challenge for a higher handicap like me. The course was under winter conditions due to recent rains so we had cart path only. The pace of play was slow but not unbearable and the greens and tee boxes were in decent condition. Between the tee and greens the course is pretty brown from the dormant grass but still very playable.

This course presents many challenges. You have forced carries, short par 4s, long par 4s, tight fairways, wide fairways, undulating greens, flat greens...this course has a lot of variety and it does not give up until your round is over. I find it to be a fun challenge and enjoy it because of the variety.

The condition of the Golf Course in general is better than most courses but it does have some areas that need work and hopefully with some rain it will get there. It's obvious that the course management (JC Golf) is doing what they can to give you the best experience possible.

The pro shop is nice and well stocked. The bar has quick grab and go eats which helps to speed up the pace. The starter was a very nice guy who was diligent in getting the groups out on time.

The worst back-up we experienced all day was on the 2nd hole because it's a reachable Par 5 so you have many golfers trying to get their early eagle. I would guess our wait was 10 minutes but after that it seemed to run pretty smoothly. I was surprised to see our time was 4 hours and 45 minutes for the round because I didn't feel like we were going that slow. It might be a testament to the variety of holes on this course that keeps you interested.

There is a good variety of holes in both length and playing style. Some holes have landing areas that are best to try and hit to if you want to avoid awkward lies. Some areas to the edges of the fairways are bare but you can avoid them with well struck shots. Some of the greens are in different stages of turf repair. They'll need a little more time to recover.

In general it's a fun course that I would definitely play again.

I always enjoy playing this course mostly because I've played it often and know some of the better places to hit the ball. The greens are in really good shape right now but they are a little slow. The fairways and rough are showing a lot of wear from this past summers heat and what I assume is the courses attempt to save water. The bare spots don't really come into play unless you hit the ball well out of the fairways but if you play mostly down the middle and hit the greens regularly on your approach shots you will have a good time. The bunkers appear to have some fresh sand in them that needs to be shaped and smoothed out because I found them to be bumpy and bare in some areas.

The course layout, facilities and staff are great at Desert Springs - Palms Course but the recent rain and then hot weather has been tough on the greens. They look fast but are a combination of fast and slow which is frustrating. I would expect them to get better closer to the summer months which is when I'll probably go back.

I really enjoy this layout because you have to play your ball in multiple directions and at various distances if you want to keep it out of the water and sand traps.

The staff is typically very helpful and the amenities are very good.

Like many Southern California courses, brown is the new green, so it isn't pretty everywhere but if you keep your ball in play you should always have a decent lie.

The greens though are showing multiple varieties of grass. Many of the greens have a camouflage color pattern.

I haven't played YVGC in a few months and now that the new clubhouse and banquet center are up and running it is a much nicer course visually. The course conditions are good and worth the green fee. Some of the front nine greens are a little patchy in places but the back nine greens are actually pretty good. The fairways and tee boxes are a little thin in some areas but playable. They are usually cheaper than the better course in the area which is why it's worth the green fee. The clubhouse staff needs to get up to speed with the check-in process which took longer than it should. The pace of play can be slow sometimes but we had no problem playing within 4.5 hours. I would play here again for a reasonably priced green fee, They really could charge a little more if they worked a little harder on course conditions and I think it would be worth it.

The staff at Cresta Verde is nice and had us through to our pre-round warm-up very quickly. The course is in decent shape. The tee boxes are not great but you can find somewhere to tee off from. The fairways were okay as well. They weren't lush but they played true. Bunkers are non-existent. They have signs in them for you to take a free drop. I know sand is pricey. Finally the greens were somewhat bumpy, slow and inconsistent. For the price it was reasonable and I hope they can continue to remain open and provide somewhere for golfers to play for less then $40 on a weekend. My round would have been more enjoyable if the fivesome of men's clubbers would have moved along a little quicker but they play there more than I do so I'll give them a pass.
