I played Yucaipa at the end of last week and had a great round of golf.

I played with a group of guys and when we left the house the wind was howling and I was thinking...this is going to suck all day with the 40mph winds in my face. Then we arrived at YVGC and NO WIND. The pro said it was the box canyon they are in...anyway I was amazed it was not blowing at all.

Course wasn't Augusta, but for $35 I thought it was in excellent shape. I have already seen deals on their website and gotten emails to save even more.

I know some have knocked turf conditions, but I thought the course was in pretty good shape for January. Greens were nice for any time of the year. I can only imagine what they will look like in another month when the weather warms.

I would gladly play Yucaipa anytime and I thought it was an outstanding value.

Lincoln Hills has become my favorite place to play. Two different courses each with GPS on the carts. Just played again yesterday and the greens are amazing...they look like fake grass...

There were a few areas on the side of bunkers that were a little sparse, but for golf in January it was really nice. I think LH has the best turf in the area. I prefer the Orchard Course with all the bridges and wetland areas. Good layout and fun to play.
