Early Sunday morning round on a very poor course. It had been years since I played here and was really looking forward to it but was really disappointed. The staff and facility is good - wish the playing conditions were close. The tee boxes were for the most part level but many were thin and shaggy. The rough varied from thin to thick and short to long depending on the hole. The fairways were very bad on the front nine with bare spots and a mix of grasses with better coverage but drier on the back. The traps were the worst I've seen in all my years of golf. Every trap was filled with grass, weeds, pipes, shovels and anything else you could imagine. The only hole where the traps were in good shape was the 18th of course (problem was we couldn't get the other 17 out of our heads). The greens on the front were as bad as the fairways with marks, bare spots and dead sections. The back nine greens were in much better shape with few marks and no bare spots. The rates being charged and paid are not close to what this course is worth right now. Cannot recommend at all.

Early Saturday morning round in slightly over three hours after passing a slow group on the tenth. The staff and carts are very good. The tee boxes are almost all a little weathered but in ok shape. The rough has thinned out in places but still enough of a deterrent to stay out of. The traps were all maintained very well but many were damp. The greens are in great shape with not too many ball marks. They sped up throughout the round and roll very true. I really enjoy this course and the rates are very fair. Recommend again.

Played last Sunday in under four hours with an early tee time. The staff is great. The tee boxes were all in great shape and level. The rough varied from a couple inches to a few inches but one could locate their ball and make good contact. The fairways had nice coverage with a tight lie here and there throughout the round. The traps are still in need of a little/a lot of sand. The greens were quite a bit softer than usual and slower than I've ever seen them. The rates have risen slightly but they are still fair for both courses here at Menifee Lakes.

Early morning Sunday round in under four hours. The course check in and procedures are fairly simple and quick. The tee boxes are all beat to death and a couple are really sloped. The rough was different from hole to hole and from fairway to green side. Some places had well trimmed grass a few inches long you could hit from. Other areas were weeds, grass and the dreaded clover over six inches! You were lucky to find your shot if it entered the clover rough. The fairways had pretty good coverage with tight lies on some holes and fluffy lies on others. The traps I saw were in much better shape than in previous visits, just in need of a little maintenance. The greens all had good coverage but needed to be rolled badly and/or trimmed. The poa was brutal as putts did not hold a line and squirmed like a snake. The course is still honoring their senior rates which makes it reasonable for the conditions.

Early morning windy round in under four hours on a near perfect course. The staff was friendly and efficient. The practice area is small with no driving range and just a large cage with mats. The carts are nice but no gps, cooler or divot mix. The tee boxes were all perfect with great coverage and all very level. The rough was a few inches long and pretty thick but grabbed wayward shots and was not too difficult to hit from. The fairways were great with total coverage and provided good roll. The traps were perfectly groomed and full of very good sand. The greens were in nice shape as well and held shots pretty good. The speed on the greens was quicker than most courses in the area that I've played - nice! The course is very well run and managed with very reasonable rates.
