Golf Course Reviews: California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Utah, Florida, Hawaii!Played Dos Lagos 1-16-10. I play many courses in the Corona - Temecula Corridor. I am not sure what the last review by Putt4dough is all about. He said the golf conditions and maintenance were not up to par but did not give details. Well I can tell you the greens are the best around, while tough they are in great shape - yeah there are some ball marks but what course doesn't have them. What they don't have are dead spots or diseases, or old ball marks that have not healed. The fairways while starting to turn yellow because of the cool weather are still great and thick to play out the color doesn't matter it's just what bermuda does. The tee boxes are ok - not great but again as good as any other course and better than many. I think for the money this is the best course around, as many others do from the play they get, they are definately getting more rounds there than I see at the other courses I play. They do have some drawbacks - no range is one but there is one down the road about 1/4 mile. They don't have a permanent clubhouse but they do have a clubhouse that does the trick and they have some great hot dog, sandwich and beer deals. They don't do much customer service as for loading clubs, or cleaning clubs at the end of the round, but if they did they might have to have higher rates - I would rather pay for golf I can load and clean my own clubs. Again this is one of my favorite courses, it's in great shape always, - sometimes just too busy.
New Clubhouse is open - what a difference from that little trailer.
Dos Lagos gets it right - not alot of fluff and extra cost for the golfer.
You get total value for your dollar at this course Staff is great and they really go out of their way to make it a good time.
Now to the good stuff - The new pro shop is nice - not fancy but I watched the Masters on Two 52 inch TV's. I had a Hot Dog and Beer that no one can match maybe only in Texas. For the same price for hot dogs and beer at other courses they give you a dog bigger than the dodger dog, and the beer is almost a pitcher for the same price as a small one at other courses.
The course is nice and always a challenge, as the last post said it is dormant because of the winter but looks like it is coming back nicely.

For a new course this course is in such bad condition. Greens look like they have disease or something many brown areas. Service is not for the customer, employees seemed more interested in their own stuff. Nice Range, and a small but nice clubhouse. Way too hot on course with no shade during a 5 1/2 to 6 hour round.
Dont think I will be back.

Played the course on a weekend and wasn't disappointed with the round. Pace was about 4 1/2 which I find typical even up to 5 hours isn't too bad for weekends. The course is in good condition, some spots were a little dry. Heard that they are under new mngmt not sure if it has happened yet or not but things seem to be ok. Price is a little high for the area, but online specials help.
Great course. One of the best courses in southern calif. Course was in great shape. Pace of play a little slow but not too bad. Played 6-1-08 pace was about 5 hours. Some of the best greens in the area. Service was tremendous. Still love the GPS systema and being able to order lunch and have it ready. Wish I wouldn't have went for 5 in 2 - lost ball cost me a good score. Definately will return to a great course - just wish it was a little easier to get too, and I would play it more if I could get cell phone reception - Can't be away from office too long.
Played on 5-31-08 great round (maybe because of score). Course is in great condition (could get a little more green - a few bare spots on fairway- maybe some fertilizer and water would help), but still in great shape.
Greens were great, played in 4 hours and 5 minutes - Marshalls came around 3 -4 times.
Can't believe they lowered there already low rates to $59 on weekends and $35 on weekdays.
The service they give (or can give) is great everyone is friendly, they all seem to enjoy what they do.
No clubhouse sucks, would love to have a beer afterward Hopefully will be have one within next few month (that is what I am told they will have a trailer system) they need something before it gets too hot.
- Love their efforts with water they have cooler with bottle water (better than cooler water that comes from a hose).
Definately will return give it 5 thumps up, who needs all the other hoopla.

Played Thursday March 27. Another great time at Dos Lagos. I think they punched the greens a week or two ago, and you really can't tell. The course is in great shape and still very challenging but fair. Still no clubhouse, but heard it is getting close. Things looked really clean, looks like they are really stepping up for this upcomming season. The guy in the pro shop was great as was the starter. Usually I have only good things to say about the Dos, but this time I do have something negative - the marshall was a little rude and kept pushing us when we were playing in about 4 hours 15 minutes, which on a busy windy day isn't too bad in my opinion. I have no problem with someone saying something if we are a little slow, but I don't need someone riding us and staying with us telling us to pick up the pace on almost every hole on the back nine. While there wasn't a group in front of us, we didn't have any groups tee off in front of us, we were ahead of the big afternoon rush. I don't know why he expected us to keep pace with groups that teed off 10 minutes or more before us. I have never experienced this before usually have had great marshalls and starters, sometimes they are even a little funny, but very professional as this marshall was not. Other than that just a great day on the course, how can you go wrong with golfing in beautiful weather, at such a fair and reasonable price. By the way a cute beverage cart girl, not sure if she is new but very cute and funny for those that like that sort of thing.
Played last saturday the 2nd. very very busy day probably 250 golfers. we teed off a little after 11:30 thought it would be tough to finish expected 5 1/2 - 6 hour round with that many players. Ended up not being too bad 5 hours 10 minutes for 18, but we got to play an additional 6 holes. Head Pro came out and let everyone know that at the turn we could play the same nine again if it was open and then continue on as long as we wanted. He was trying to help split groups to help speed of play. For what this course has to work with the value is great especially some of the web and e-mail specials. Looks like they are putting in some ball washers and water coolers, so they are making changes, just hope the price doesn't go up. Staff always trys to make me feel at home. Will keep comming back as long as they don't raise the prices too much.
I play in with a group twice a week and decided to play Dos Lagos for the first time on Wed Oct 17th. Thought the track was very intersting especially the contrasting styles of the two nines.
Pace of play was good 4 hours and 15 minutes. The course was in great shape, greens do have alot of ball marks, but stay out of the rough.
One thing different happened that we haven't seen before. While we saw the marshall and cart girl quite often, we even had a visit from the pro. He was going around the course, and saying hi to everyone, he asked if this was our 1st time, and asked for any comments. (very nice touch).
We mentioned a few things like no yardage markers, and the ball marks, we did remark that we thought the water bottles on the course was a nice touch. We did make a suggestion about the ball marks, and suggested that the course follow groups from time to time and take pictures of players not fixing ball marks, and then put their pictures up on the wall, to embarass them into fixing ball marks.
We enjoyed our conversation with him, and actually talked about it later and wished more course pro's would go around so we could meet them and make other suggestions.
We will return, and hope the second time it will be a little easier since we will know the layout.
