Played Tustin Ranch Tuesday morning and the weather was quite cool and a little breezy. Check in was very simple and off to the 1st tee I went. The putting green is closed but the range and the restaurant are all open. I played with 3 very nice people, Dave, Tony & Ashley all regulars who play there once a week. We all played the blues except Ashley who played the whites. Tee boxes all looked good and I didn’t notice any unfilled divots on the par 3’s. Fairways were in very good shape but what I don’t like about the course is on certain holes it is cart path only and they don’t tell you that on the screen, so naturally I hit it way right opposite of the cart path. I was in a few sand traps and still no rakes or sand bottles on carts, however the traps had the white sillica sand and they are really nice to play from. The greens had recently been punched and are still a little bumpy but they rolled ok. There is virtually no rough here as the course is surrounded by homes, condos and apartments. I like this course for a couple of reasons, one it’s close to my house and two, it’s not too difficult but still presents a challenge at 6400 yards. I used a tee off deal and paid 49.00 so that price I thought it was a deal and not sure if it’s worth the regular of 90.00 during the week. I would definitely recommend the course..

Played today on a warm Saturday morning. I teed of at 11:10 and I played with 2 nice ladies by the names of Donna & Kathy and our 4th was guy by the name of Eddie and had just arrived a few days ago from Korea. Both ladies played off the Silver or white tees while I played Gold and Eddie played the back tees. The ladies were local and were very good players and very knowledgeable about where to hit it to. I have seen this all too many times someone like Eddie mid 50’s playing from the back tees and barely able to drive it 200 yards. Unfortunately he struggled all day, too bad he was a very nice gentleman. The course was in very nice shape some divots on some of the tee boxes but all were filled in with mix. There are still no rakes in the bunkers and lots of footprints, but I just moved my ball out of the footprint marks. The greens were very nice and the rolled true. On a side note, one of the ladies and myself were smoking my little cigars and a homeowner (older gentleman) who was walking his dog, came over to us while we walking off the 2nd green and said “there is no smoking on the course”
She told him to keep on waking and that they sold cigars in the pro shop.. Strangest thing. Anyways, it was a great day with good company and I played well, so all is good. There were a whole lot of people at the pool which is good to see people back and the music playing. The course is in great shape and I highly recommended it..

Played our forth match of GK Cup on a beautiful Sunday afternoon with GKers Matt, Jerry, Robert and myself. Very friendly staff especially the younger guy at the counter, they couldn’t have been nicer. The course looked to be in great shape, fairways were excellent and bunkers were great to play out of. Either I couldn’t figure out the greens or they were slower than they looked but I couldn’t get a ball to check on any of my pitch shots but it just wasn’t my day. There were a lot of waste bunkers and dirt paths which there were rocks under the dirt path, so lesson learned, don’t hit it over there lol... As for our match, my back had been killing me all day and I was no help to my partner Robert, plus Matt and Jerry played very well so we lost the match, sorry partner. First time playing there and I thought the layout was great and I would love to go back when I’m feeling better. Thanks to Johnny and everyone else who made this round possible today... Highly recommended..

Played Los Verdes today with other men’s club members and we teed of at 12:45 this afternoon. Pre COVID we never would have finished, today we finished at 5:05 pm and we had to wait on maybe a couple of holes. The course is looking good now it’s great to play only 4 instead of the usual fivesomes. Tee boxes for the most part are good and even the par 3’s are looking nice with divots filled in. The fairways are nice and green with a few thin spots but always playable. The course has 2 local new rules or at least new to me, the first is tree root and if interferes with your swing you can move it one club length, and second the “smutgrass” rule, if it interferes with your swing, you can move it one club lengths so that’s good. I was in a few bunkers and the sand plays really nice and lastly the greens. I have played here for decades and the greens are the nicest I have seen them in a long time. In closing, course is in great shape and if you can get the elusive tee time it’s highly recommended and kudos to Chris, Vince and Gus great playing partners today...
