Every time I think my game is in a spot to take on Angeles this course just kicks me in the mouth. Didn't help that it was a windy day, but it was only slightly more windy than usual out here. Teed off at 11:50 on the first day after springing forward and finished in about 4.5; pace was generally good with a few waits but nothing egregious.
Been a while since I've been here and the course is in pretty good condition. I would never call the fairways "lush" but they're definitely not summertime burnt out thin and provide good lies. The extra growth definitely helps prevent wayward shots from going too far off line into OB areas without sacrificing too much roll out.
Teeboxes were in good shape and greens were running at the posted 11. Huge undulating greens where it's almost a guaranteed 3-putt if you're in the wrong spot. Was in a couple of bunkers and the sand wasn't consistent; a few were a little on the thin side while some had heaps of new soft sand.
If you've played here before you know there isn't really any "rough" here, just more of a collar around the fairways that's cut low before turning into desert or wood chips.
Like it's been said before, the course wouldn't be worth the rack rate but if you can find a deal in the low $100s it's a worthwhile splurge to test your game. You're not going to find any frills beyond the 2 bottles of water in the cart; the snack shack closes up early and the cart girl made a few passes and then called it a day around 2, but the course is in nice shape right now
