After playing here numerous times this winter I have found the course to be in poor condition due to excessive rain. The fairways are muddy and most likely will not be dry for weeks. Many days have been cart path only and the pace of play even during the week is over 5 hours every round. Marshalls seem either non existent or just drive around. The course needs improvement for the green fee. My suggestion is to play elsewhere until the management gets the message to improve course conditions.

Course was recently overseeded and aerated and recovered very well. While the green fee is steep it offers some of the most challenging and quality golf anywhere in so cal. The only exception is the greens are probably a couple of weeks away from being excellent.

After playing here on a regular basis it is clear that between the continual fee increases and the greens not recovered from punching 2 weeks ago it appears that the fact that there are so many more golfers the courses will make as much money as they can regardless if the course is in good shape. I agree, with 3 tee boxes under repair and not even playable there should absolutely be a discounted fee. The old days of the Kramers running this course are long gone. Disappointed.

I can only describe the conditions as poor even for El Prado standards. It appears that they punched the greens with tines for maintenance but not filled with sand having grass sticking up above the holes. They were virtually un-puttable from 4 feet and less, clearly they didn't even mention this for the usual reasons. This is my last time trusting that the conditions are playable!! this course needs new management.

While this is one of my favorite courses I found the conditions poor overall. It appears that they have sanded all of the greens and left sand all around. Additionally the holes appear to be uncut or moved for several days since they were overgrown and raggedy and not even round. Also the sand traps were mud and impossible to play well out of. This appears to be just a recent issue.

While I cannot remember ever feeling unsatisfied by conditions at Goose Creek I guess there is a first for everything. The sand traps were so thin and hard it was impossible to hit from. The greens were not just fast but are in need of watering and or maintenance, they are rock hard and you cannot stop a ball from even a wedge away. And finally, half of the ball washers were empty! overall this is the worst I have seen this course. I'm really sorry I can't be more positive since this is one of my favorite courses.

After reading the most recent review I wondered if I was playing the same golf course. The green on hole #2 was half sand NO grass on 1/2 (really)? This was unacceptable for the cost of play here. The rest of the course was very nice and green. The greens in general are just ok, they seem to have as much sand on them as grass which makes for a lot of unpredictable putts. The north course seems to be in better overall condition. If you are driving out for the day you would be advised to play elsewhere for your money.

While Los Serranos South is one of my favorite courses the current conditions make it difficult to pay the asking price. The sand traps are the bright spot, the fairways and approach areas are so thin it is difficult to play quality golf. As with most courses that have dormant type winter grasses this course is almost dirt in some areas making every shot unpredictable. If you enjoy playing this course wait until Spring when its playable. As always the customer service is outstanding.

The course continues to be in great shape, for the money and consistent conditions this is one of the best deals if you purchase the players card annually. The only issue is slow play and too many tournaments being booked, this course should be played in 4 hours but with the slow golfers that clog up the course it plays in more like 5 hours. Customer service has always been great.

After reading some of the recent ok reviews, played El Prado-Butterfield again only to find it in marginal shape at best. The greens were good for the most part, the sand traps (or mud traps) are unplayable along with the remainder of the course not being worth the money or effort to play there, additionally, they find it completely acceptable to send 5 somes out at anytime (8:00 am). You ask why people don't play golf, blame the golf courses. I'm sorry but this is as positive as I can be. Unless you don't care about your golfing experience there are plenty of other golf courses that are better.

After avoiding Upland Hills for the last two years I took a chance that a weekday mid day would be a safe investment, I was wrong. The course overall is in poor shape with the exception of the greens, they are in good shape. The worst part about this course is customer service, there is none. No marshall and no effort to make your golf experience enjoyable. The round took over 5 hours and there was a wait for EVERY shot. This course should be played in under 4 hours. STAY AWAY, they don't want your business.

As usual Dos Lagos is a mixed bag of OK conditions and a course that is in desperate need of better maintenance. A couple of greens were airified. (no one ever mentions it). Overall this course is basically not worth playing unless you have a short drive to get there. The greens are not even maintained at a municipal course level and the rest of the course always looks like it's "ground under repair". Needs new management.
