Mid morning Sunday round in around four hours. The staff is great and the new carts are promised by the end of the month. We played the Oaks/Creeek combo and were loving the conditions. The course is hosting The California State Golden Tour and we were joined by a fourth who was playing in the tournament. The tee boxes were all level but a couple of the par 3's were pretty beat up. Most of the rear tees were set as far back as they could be and the pin placements were also set in difficult positions. The fairways had nice coverage with not any bad lies just a few that were a little tight. The rough was its typical few inches and not too penal. The traps were all in great shape with plenty of sand but needing a good raking. The greens on the Oaks nine were somewhat slower than the other two nines but with more noticeable slope. My regular playing partners and myself really enjoy the club and course.

Early morning four hour round on the Creek/Stonehouse nines. The course is such a great place to play. Staff is always great even if the new carts have not arrived yet. Tee boxes are all level with a couple being a bit beat up. The rough is just long enough to stop your poor shots but short enough to hit from. The fairways have great coverage with a tight lie here and there but not many. The traps have dried out and are in nice condition but all need to be raked! The greens were fantastic as before. They are very smooth and quick but hold well struck shots great. The scenery is great throughout the course with only a little freeway noise on the Creek nine. The rates with the players card are very fair and the other inclusions are great! Recommended

Played with a group of the old softball guys Saturday morning in about 4.5 hours Creek to Stonehouse. We teed off an hour late due to the frost delay which are common for this time of the year. The staff was great and the practice area adequate. The golf carts are in mediocre shape but was told the fleet was being replaced the first of the year. The tee boxes were all in excellent shape with total coverage and level. The rough was just long enough to hold up off line shots but short enough to hit from if you found yourself in it. The fairways were all very good with GREEN GRASS which is lacking from so so many courses nowadays. There were a couple of tight lies on the Creek nine but still very good. The traps were all in need of a raking (looked as if they had not been touched in days) as our groups had to remove anything that found its way into one. The greens were the BEST I've played on in a very long time. They all were in excellent condition with few ball marks and held shots good and rolled very smooth and were really quick! The players club card they now offer is a great deal for those wishing to play here during the year. Definitely recommended even at the rack rate.

We were the third group off this morning (the first group with light) - after watching the first group tee off with their glow balls we knew it would be an interesting round. It took us about 4.5 hours to make it around the dog track this course has sadly become. I used to play here 20+ years ago on a regular basis and really enjoyed the place back then. I was really really looking forward to returning here again. It took a couple months of trying to book an early Sunday morning tee time and I finally had (wish I didn't). The staff was friendly but the carts have no windshield which makes for a frigid start to a round when it's in the low 30's. The tee boxes were all very dry and pretty well worn out. Most of the boxes were level but a few had rodent damage. The fairways were almost all dormant or dead where there was grass present. The rough was pretty much gone and the fairways had compact granite alongside them on many of the holes. The sand traps were all in great shape but lacked sand. The greens were in great condition especially considering how busy this course is. The greens would hold good shots and were very fast with very little break. On the first few holes this morning the greens were still frozen and had small frozen pieces of ice similar to hail. The par 3's are by far the most playable and enjoyable holes to see, but the entire course is starved for water and about as ugly a sight as any course I've played. The rates are very reasonable which I'm sure is a big reason it's always busy. I wish could recommend this place to others but not under the current conditions.

Early morning 4+ hour Sunday round on a very crunchy course. We got out a little early and the first green was still frozen? The fairways were frosted over until the third hole. The staff was friendly and the non-member carts are good. The tee boxes were all level and had pretty good coverage but were a little on the dry side. The rough does not exist here at this course. The fairways are extremely firm and dry. The bermuda is dormant and the good/bad shots all find ob area and you'll have a hard time finding them! The traps were very well maintained and had ample dirt/sand but most were damp. The greens were definitely the quickest I've seen in a very long time. The greens held well struck shots good and most had few ball marks. The greens are fairly large with quite a bit of slope. If you like fast greens with a lot of break this is your course. The problem will be getting to the greens without rolling off the fairways after making good drives from the tee! The rates are a little steep for what is offered but not as bad as others in the area. The very nice outdoor patio looks out onto the 18th hole - which is probably the best conditioned one you'll find.
