Saturday morning round in about 4.5 hours. The staff is friendly and the marshall made himself known a few times during the round. The tee boxes were a little beat up from all the play this course is seeing now. The rough is thickening up where it is being well watered but has lots of clover! The fairways continue to remain in good condition with a few tight lies during the round. The traps look much better but the 1/2" of sand placed in them IS OF no help to the unsuspecting golfer! The many bunkers I found appeared to look good but really weren't fair the the golfer with mud hidden just beneath the ball. The greens have quickened up to what is near normal for this course. Shots held well but the poa continues to advance itself on many greens. The location and rates continue to draw golfers back which is nice to see.

Early Sunday morning round in a little over four hours. The staff was friendly but a little confused. The carts continue to show their age but are still getting you back to the clubhouse. The practice facilities are small but adequate. The tee boxes had good coverage but a few were a little bit unlevel and home to the gofers. The rough was not very penal where is exsisted and on a few holes was mostly clover and dirt. The fairways were in pretty good condition with mostly nice lies and total coverage with no bare spots. The sand traps had nice fluffy damp sand that seemed to be as thick as butter. Hitting from the traps was quite and experience for our group. The greens were in nice shape but rolled a little slower than what we were used to playing on. Well struck putts held their line with not much break from start to finish. There are a few dog leg holes and water hazards on a few holes as well. Ths course is very flat and easily walkable for those who enjoy that. Everytime I have played here there have been quite a few beginers hacking up the place but seem to understand to keep moving. The rates and conditions are very fair for the area courses.

Early off on Sunday morning and done in under four hours. It makes a difference when your 25 handicap partner isn't with you! The staff is always friendly and on point. The tee boxes have greatly improved with most holes having nice turf but a couple are still a little ratty and not level. The rough is filling in with kikuyu as they continue to put a lot of water on everything. Finding yourself in the kikuyu sections of rough now make hitting a good shot a little more difficult. The fairways are being watered quite a bit and look as if they are starting to fill in, but you will still find sections of thin turf throughout the round. The traps have been trimmed up and sand added to many bunkers but still thin in some of those traps! The greens all have great coverage with an abundance of poa. There were very few ball marks but the poa makes keeing a putt on line difficult. You see a lot of snaking and putts not holding even if well struck. The tee times are ten minutes apart which is also great for a more enjoyable round. The continued course conditions are really nice to see. Keep it up and hold the rates

Early morning Sunday round in a little over four hours. This round reminded me of what this course can be. The staff was good and starter very friendly. The carts are dated with no windshields or gps but outlets. The practice faciltiy is adequate and usually busy. The tee boxes ranged from thin and sloped to level with good coverage. The rough is not present on many holes but was thin and patchy where it was found. There are several forced carry holes with most being on the front nine of this par 70 course. The fairways ranged from thin and wet to thick and dry with good coverage. There were a couple of holes that had new turf placed on the fairways that were roped off but you were able to play your ball from them. The traps were all thin and hard packed with standing water in a few. The traps were fairly well trimmed but in desperate need on truck loads of sand. The greens all had nice coverage but more poa than any course I've played. Good shots from the fairways would stop nicely but getting the ball in the hole was another story. Putts jumped and snaked on every hole which frustrated our entire group. The front nine is flat and the back nine has some elevation changes which seems to add distance. The views are nice on the back nine and the course is worth the rack rates. I would say that if they can continue to improve the playing conditions it will become difficult to get a tee time here.

Mid morning round on Tuesday in about 4.5 hours. Tee times are now 15 minutes apart which is so nice! The total experience here is top notch. The carts and practice facilities are difficult to top. The staff is friendly and effecient in all aspects. The rates have risen and I guess rightfully so for this course. The clubhouse is a little tough to find if you have not had a chance to play at Pechanga. The tee boxes were all if great shape but a few were a little firm for tee placement. The rough was cut perfectly and had complete coverage from the first to last hole. The fairways were all fantastic and tightly cut making for a nice contrast with the rough! The turf was damp enough that the tight lies were not a problem to hit good shots from. The sand traps were probably the nicest I've ever seen and had a chance to experience (a few times). I couldn't imagine any course with better maintenance of the traps from fairway to greens. The large greens were all almost in near perfect condition. The greeens here are so big that the smallest green is larger than others courses biggest greens. They rolled slower than they have in previous rounds but held good shots. There are subtle breaks on nearly every green that make putting frustrating at times. The scenery is hard to beat and the last couple holes make you want to come back for another chance. Highly Recommended
