Played this morning at Twin Oaks, I found a tee time for a single yesterday. at 7:30 am. First time playing here, the course looked narrow from pictures I saw and from some reviews I read. I played the blue because it looked like they had moved up a bit, so it was probably playing about 6350, maybe 6400 yards. The fairways looked to be in good shape and on some holes they had replaced some sod, so it looks they are trying to keep in good shape. Tee boxes were fine mostly level with a few occasional divots not filled in, but overall good shape. The front nine greens were in very nice shape but a few of the backside maybe 3 were sanded. My foursome included a local couple Annie & Rich who were regulars saying the course is about to aeriate the greens soon. The fourth was a fellow named John who has moved to Carlsbad from New Hampshire, all 3 were excellent playing mates. Back to the course conditions, if you strayed off the fairways the rough was tough maybe 1 1/2” and combine that with the morning dewness it made it hard to find the ball at times. Overall, I had a great time and always fun to play a course I haven’t played before. Definitely recommended.

Played in GK outing on 09/13 under what I thought was a beautiful day albeit a little warm (100 degrees).
I got stuck behind an accident on the 60 freeway where they are widening it and it was a pain. I called the pro shop and they were very accommodating saying not to worry just get there safe and they would take care of everything. 1st time playing Mountain View course and I really enjoyed it. I played with Kevin (kg1791) and Johnny and we had a great time. For those who haven't played with Johnny, he is very personable and very easy to talk to and I enjoyed his and Kevin's insight to golf and everything else under the sun. I thought the course was in excellent shape from fairway to green there was a dry area or two on the green but they didn't affect how I putted. Not my best round but not my worst, my back was acting up, but playing with Johnny and Kevin was the highlight and if you are in the area definitelya must play..

Played The Crossings at Carlsbad on a cool Sunday afternoon with all the Covid restrictions in place. I played with a couple from Temecula and they were very nice. The tee boxes were better than average with most divots filled in and having said that sand was available on the carts and by the looks of things divots were filled in on the fairways as well. The fairways were green and firm and wide so if you found them, it was very playable. I haven’t been there in a while and I forgot how hilly it was and the few forced carries there are. The lady I played with said she plays there regularly and if a ball were to go in a bunker one could take it out due to local rules. There were no rakes, but it did look like someone was maintaining them and you could see shoe/foot rakes from previous people trying to rake the footprints. I was only in 2 green side bunkers and I played out of them because they looked playable to me. Greens were on the medium speed side, and the guy in my group went out of his way to fix what ball marks he could find. In closing, the course was in very good shape, very green and I had a very good time and look to return soon. Definitely recommended..
