Went to play today at 1:40, finished at 4:05; not bad for 9 holes in the afternoon. Tee boxes were level and lush with some bare spots from divots. Fairways were well maintained with good lies and no bare spots. The rough was not real long but rough none the less. Bunkers had good sand in them, I didn’t bottom out on any bunker shots (yeah, I was all over the place!). The greens rolled nice and true and we’re not overly fast but a little quick. The holes were not real long, 3148 from the tips. All in all, not a bad way to spend a couple of hours.

The worst "resort" style course experience I've ever had. It had rained the day before I went to play here and I expected it to be slightly muddy but that doesn't even begin to describe the conditions. For a windward course tucked up against the Ko'olaus there should have been way better drainage. The "fairways" had 1 - 1 1/2" long "grass"...it wasn't bermuda or even bent, it was some kind of fat-leaved native grass. The bunkers were hard-packed sand with hard pan underneath. Every green had large bare spots. There is a large waste bunker on the approach to 18 that was full of weeds. Yes, it's a waste bunker but it looked like they just didn't want to maintain the thing. I was having one of my straightest days so I hit a lot of "fairways" and it was lift, clean and place but I had to place it in inch and a half "fairway" grass. My suggestion is play there during a drought or don't even bother. Terrible for the exorbitant green fees.

Played early this morning in what started out as a twosome. The early morning walk-ons could use a little more organization. The course was in good shape. The greens have 97% recovered from the recent punching and rolled true with no bumps. The fairways were kinda hard and slightly brown, but that's to be expected with the drought...good for extra distance. ;) Tee boxes were in good shape. Bunkers were in good shape with good sand, although I did bottom out on the green-side bunker on #9. Pace of play was good...4 hours. $43 to walk.

Played here on saturday morning 4/16. They did an interesting thing by re-routing the front 9 back to the old route before the redo. So it went 1, 2, 9, 7, 8, 3, 4, 5, 6. They did that to speed up play. I don't know if it worked because we were a three-some the second ones out and the group we followed were kinda slow. Still we played in 4 hours. The greens are recovering nicely on the half that was punched. I noticed a lot less ball marks on the greens than there were previously; I suspect it was due to the fixing them with on of those no-bending-over-ball-mark-fixer thingys. Fairways were lush with spring growth. The bunkers were all fluffy, except I did bottom out on one on 9/6 (the par 3 by the maintance shop). Rough was fair.

I played Alondra today after not playing it for about 15 years. I had seen them working on the front nine everytime I was at their driving range and wanted to see the changes. The front nine is a good improvement from what it used to be. The greens were kind of slow but true. The new greens are definately still new. The bunkers had good sand in them. They have changed the routing with some new green locations. Now for the back nine. Its the same old Alondra back nine. I think they have put in some new bunkers. The greens were BUMPY and SLOW, SLOW, SLOW. It felt like I was putting on cotton with my headcover on. If they ever redo the back nine Alondra will be a nice neighborhood muni to play.

I played here today and found things haven't changed all that much. I used to play here quite a bit until it started to revert back to it's goattrack condition. Things are starting to turn back around albeit slowly. The tee boxes have been re-worked and there is plenty of level grass to tee your ball and take a stance. The greens are in good shape (a couple were bumpy) but the people who play here still don't know how to repair their ball marks. The fairways are a different story...lots of bare spots, lots of spots re-sodded with 7 or 9 different types of grass, lots of marked ground under repair. The bunkers had halfway decent dirtsand/rocks...all were wet but raked. There are numerous environmental areas some of which are irrigated? and chopped?...what's the point of that??? Victoria will never be a great muni but for $23 to walk you can have a decent day of golf.

The greens have almost completely recovered from the recent aeration but were bumpy. The fairways are a little yellow and they, as well, have been aerated. The sand in numerous bunkers I was in today was in good condition except for the front bunker on 13...very wet. Pace of play was good but we were 3rd off.

I played here on 1/3. The fairways were a little sparse but not bad. Greens were great as usual, rolling true with very little ball marks. The couple of bunkers I was in had good sand...a tiny bit fluffy. Pace of play was average. Saw the marshall twice. Hot dog was tasty.

This is the first time I've played here. The course is in great condition. The fairways were a little soft in places but it was 100+ degrees. The greens were not real fast and putted true. The sand was slightly packed around the greens and some of the fairway bunkers were hard. The people that play there fill their divots and fix their ball marks...kudos!!! Since it was 100+ there were at least three cart girls out there with life-saving water; they were also very friendly...and cute. We saw the players assistant about 4 times, always friendly. I would definately play here again...or maybe try the Mountain course.

A good challenging course. You're not hitting driver off of all tee boxes so you have to club for position on your second shot. Greens are receptive with some undulation. Worth the money.

I used to play this course a lot until it got to be a goat track...again! I played there yesterday (4/27) because I heard they got a new greenskeeper. I was pleased to see some improvements because I've always liked the layout. Sod patches in the fairway, leveling of tee boxes, things like that. The greens were still recovering from a recent aeration; they were still a little sandy and slow. The bunkers seem to have good sand, not hard-packed. There were some bare fairway lies. All-in-all it was a good experience for the price.
