Played here mid morning with a friend from the IE. Hadn't been out here in about 8 to 10 years I imagine. Had good memories when it was run by the scpga. Clubhouse was closed, directed you to check in at the golf cart shack. Went pretty easy and quick, were directed right out. Greenskeeper lists that the greens were aerated 9/17 but the greens showed no traces of punching or sand. Champions was closed. Not sure what to make of it, I didn't see anyone to ask as I was leaving.

Course was in green, but very overwatered condition. Not nearly as nice as the previous review. Tee boxes were a bit shaggy, some mounded. Fairways also shaggy and pretty wet with a lot of wet spots, mud tracks, and even puddles. Don't hit your shot fat. Minimal roll on Drives. Rough was grown out to maybe 2 to 3 inches, a good length to penalize for hitting it in there. I was not in any bunkers but they looked wet, rocky, and hard. Greens were in good condition, rolled medium fast and true. Again soft and moist with your ball making a deep mark. Tons of construction on the course, looks like they are planning a lot of home developments here as I saw a lot of home lots being graded. Beaumont overall looks like just a huge track home development. POP was about 3.5 hours. Moderately interesting layout, nothing particularly stands out, but I'd still recommend if in the area.

Played here mid morning. Usually this place is fine but they are now charging a $15 additional single rider cart fee which is not listed on their online booking engine even though the time states that it includes a cart. Low brow move for a supposed high end course. Usually check in guys are friendly, it's really not that complicated but this guy was kind of confrontational and annoying.

Anyway course was in fair condition. Tee boxes were pretty roughed up from the blues, a lot of divot damage and crabby grasses. Fairways were in good condition, a bit brown but playable. Sand is new, fluffy and bright. Best spot. Greens were okay, ran medium speed and soft. Number 4 green is in terrible shape, not sure what happened, it's pretty much putting through dirt.

Pace of play was AWFUL, five hours, longest I've spent on the golf course in some time. No marshal. Stay away from this place if they are going to nickel and dime for carts and not enforce any pace of play standards.

heard this place opened back up so wanted to check it out. last time i was here must have been over 12 or 13 years so i didn't remember much. clubhouse and cantina is just a large trailer. lots of construction noticeable everywhere. easy check-in and grab a cart. other than masks and pvc pipe in the holes, no other special precautions. starter mentioned the reason the course reopened was that the city wouldn't allow construction on the apartments on the property unless the golf course reopened. presumably the fight has lasted years or so, but i don't know if that's true or just rumour.

course is in pretty good shape, but overwatered. teeboxes were clean, fairly level, with good coverage. fairways were overwatered and had a lot of muddy cart track marks on them especially on the front 9. some wet and muddy lies in certain areas. back was better. sand was wet with good coverage, rough was a crapshoot. greens were the highlight, super soft but rolled quite well, medium speed. felt good to roll a few putts in. interesting layout, fairly forgiving off the tee but some approaches were tough. played through a few groups for a POP of 3h. a nice round, worth it to check out.
