I have intentionally avoided Menifee for two years due to the unplayable conditions. Menifee, like many other valley courses, opted to 'not overseed' in the fall of 2012. Like many of the other courses, the decision not to overseed proved costly. I recently drove past Menifee and noticed the fairways looked considerably better so I decided to give it a shot. I played Lakes and I am pleased to report the course is in much better shape. Albeit, not in the condition I remember (2004/5/6), but very playable. The tee boxes need cut and are not quite level, though, overall they are fine. The fairways are fairly lush with "hard pan" areas nonexistent. The rough is still on the mend, though playable. The greens are in the same condition they've always been, smooth and true, no complaints. For those of you who, like me, have avoided Menifee over the last year or two, make your next tee time at Menifee, you won't be disappointed.
