Played Pala Mesa yesterday. The last two reviews are right on, fairways are completely yellow while the greens, though at least the traditional GREEN color, are quite bumpy. The course was at least pretty empty though that could have been because of the Buick Invitational going on a couple miles down. Also, the course's carts have no GPS system. My golf partners mentioned that Redhawk would probably be the better option at this point if you are going to drive from LA to SD for some golf.

My parents live nearby so I play about twice a month at this golf course. I have mixed reviews regarding the place though overall I feel it is one of the better options in the area. I definitely agree that the greens are the biggest problem facing this course. Way too many unfixed divots, esp. on this course which is not too long, the greens face a barrage of high wedges and 9 irons putting a lot of stress on these greens. It definitely puts a lot of stress on ur short game when u know those 3 foot putts might be missed because of bumps throughout the putting line. The fairways however, are some of the nicest fairways in the area. I think this is a great course for the mid range handicapper since the fairways have wide landing areas, and the rough isnt thick at all when u miss the green. the carts used to be a problem since they would always seem like they are half charged, but they seem to have fixed that pretty well. pace of play here always varies, depending on time u tee off because of all the daily donovan coupons 85 percent of the players use. big waves of groups go out at the 12:30, 2pm time slots because of the deals. still, the rounds dont usually take more than 4.5-5 hours long and i dont recall waiting hole to hole very much. rancho verde in rialto is a great option about 5-10 minutes away if its gets a bit crowded at sierra. all in all, a pretty enjoyable round because of the good course design.

Since its the closest golf course to my house, I usually try to go out for 9 holes whenever I have the opportunity. I rarely play 18 here since it will take a good 6 hours regardless of day, although an early tee time would definitely bring that round time down. conditions here never really change much since the amount of players and rounds here are constant from week to week: good fairways, pretty smooth greens here, very fast putts. tee boxes are uneven for many holes which is unfortunate but still playable. good course to walk though hilly, since the views are nice and the round will be slow regardless.

I work in Long Beach so I usually play Skylinks on the weekdays when I have a chance. The course itself is one of the more fun courses in the area, along with Lakewood and Los Verdes. When I play, i usually play for a discount price that I can find on golfnow.com. They dont offer those discount prices anymore on the weekends so its, in my opinion, not worth the regular green fee prices of over 50 on the weekends. Its a very nice course however, it has very few straighaway holes, so it helps to be able to work the ball with your driver. Unfortunately, my working the ball right to left is not on purpose. I am hitting my second shots near tree branches all the time at this course. Like the other reviews, the greens have some damage to it with makes putting even more difficult here. The greens have many tiers, so it definitely helps to know the green layout before hitting iron approach shots. try the course on the weekday for a great value.

play here every other Saturday with a couple of guys. The good is that the course layout is well designed, a balanced mix of long par 4s, short par 3s, and challenging par 5s. fairways are pretty good at the moment, not too many bare spots, generous landing areas. Greens look good, not great but not anywhere as bad as Royal Vista's greens were last time i was there. pace wasnt too bad, same as the last reviewer, the round usually should take around 4.5-5 hours on a weekend at a steady pace. usually meaning waiting at the long par 3s this course has but not too much otherwise. good value course all in all.

a bit of a drive from Torrance (60 miles, 55 minute drive with no traffic) played on Sunday at 11:48 AM, was extremely empty at that tee time, didnt see a group behind or in front until the 15th hole. I think because football season's started. Great conditions on the greens right now, a few dry spots on the fairways with some muddy conditions in various areas. Course itself is very smartly designed with good use of elevation changes to carefully pick out club choices. Similar to Black Gold in yorba linda though not quite as long. One problem i see is that the black tee boxes play at about 6900 yards while the gold tee boxes play at about 6300. While 6300 yards still make it a tough golf course, it would be nice to have a set of tees in the 6500-6700 yard range for some. great practice facility with a nice grass driving range, esp. since green fees include free range balls. will definitely be back

10 things i noticed!
1. fairways in great shape, add that to severe elevation changes and u get some great rolls on those drives
2. interesting layout, good variety and balance of long par 4s and short, extremely narrow fairwars on short par 4s.
3. wow these are some of the hardest greens to hold an approach shot. i usually use a nxt tour ball at most courses but felt i had to switch to a prov1 after a couple holes where the ball released hard
4. i think its very posible to break a wrist trying to hit it out of the deep rough here, as the ball sinks in deep
5. if you have friends, like i do, who struggle from uphill/downhill/sidehill lies, play against them here haha
6. great last hole, decently long with water all around the green on the right: had a friend up 5 strokes versus another, hit tee shot ob, 3 wood from 270 into the water, flop shot into the water, chip and 2 putt for a quintuple bogey 10 and lost by 1
7. twilight rates, 52 after 2, or cheaper using click4teetimes or golfnow.com make it worth the green fee, though empire lakes for 40 bucks using the same websites seems a comparable value
8. lots of rabbits on this course..they were nice
