Have played this course twice, the second time being Sunday May 6. Pace of play was just under 3.5 hours, outstanding for any day of the week, but amazing for a late Sunday morning start.

Overall, the course is in good condition. Tee boxes are very nice and even, greens are fast, but true, with some minor imperfections (though they are scheduled to aerate in the coming weeks). Fairways have a few dry/brown patches but nothing crazy bad. Overall, it's very nice and the scenery is great.

It is expensive to play here, but the practice facility is first rate, the overall atmosphere is very relaxed/professional. You will find yourself around people who are serious about golf, not your typical weekend warriors. Once and a while you even spot a celebrity (we saw former NFL star Marcus Allen). It's definitely a course worth playing and if nothing else, one of the best places to practice in the LA area.

In my opinion, the previous rating over 9 is definitely not warrranted. I played on Thursday, 4/19. I really like this challenging course. But it is not in the kind of shape it used to be in. The greens were excellent. Firm, fast, and smooth. The sand in the bunkers is great. However, the fairways continue to be dry and very thin. There are still some areas with bare spots. The fairways have not greened up at this point. And there is no rough at all. If you are around the greens with a short pitch shot, it's definitely challenging due to very tight lies. I enjoy playing here, especially with the Golfnow deal of $58.00 at 1:20pm. If you compare the conditions of this course to Robinson Ranch, Moorpark CC, or Rustic Canyon, it is lacking. It is definitely playable, but no where near what I would expect from a high end course.

second group out 7am. I never saw the twosome in front of us, it was like we were the only group out there for the entire round. The whole experience was perfect, the course is in pristine condition, flat tee boxes, manicured sand traps, firm smooth greens. the greens are all that greens are supposed to be, they are quick and sometimes fast, even very fast, but true, the ball will roll where you hit it. This is a great place to play.

There was a time when this course was moving backwards and beginning to deteriorate. However, they definitely caught the negative trend and have made efforts to reverse it. I love this place but stayed away for a bit because of what I saw was happening and the rate is not cheap. The management has done much to make the conditions of the course match the difficulty and the price. The course is playing really well again. I had no complaints. Fairways are much better than they used to be. Greens are a real test on your putting skills. The tee boxes are great. The sand is the way it should be. I will definitely be back and you should definitely play it.

Played this course again on Friday April 6th. The course has "greened" up considerably over the past month. Still an incredibly challenging layout.

The tee boxes were in excellent shape, nearly perfect teeing grounds. Very few divots on the par 3's, and the rest of the boxes were nearly flawless.

The fairways continue to be very thin, and bare in several spots. It was very noticeable on several holes, especially on the approaches to several greens. A couple were completely bare with no grass, I am glad I did not have to take any shots from these approaches. The rough has grown in a little better than my last visit, but continues to be very thin. A couple holes had some lushness on one side of the fairway, but overall the rough is generally non-existent.

The greens continue to be in excellent shape, and running extremely fast. This was once again probably the best part of the course conditions wise. The bunkers were sort of hit or miss, I found several throughout the day, and some were fluffy and soft, others a little more hard packed.

Hopefully with some more rain this course will continue to bloom and the rough will be able to grow into a proper length. If playing here for the first time, bring lots of old golf balls, you will lose several.

Played this course for the first time on Friday March 2nd. I have been here several times to use the grass driving range and excellent practice putting greens. Both of these features are excellent and worth the trip.

Knowing this was a Nicklaus course, I was expecting difficult, and the course did not let down. Very challenging design, with many "natural habitat" waste areas that you are not supposed to enter, and honestly you don't want to enter.

The tee boxes on the course were in excellent condition in my opinion, the markers were well spaced out, and there were few divots or uneven areas. I thought they were one of the better parts of the course.

The fairways and rough were another story though. The grass seems to be completely dormant still, and the rough as noted in the prior review is completely non-existent. You can barely tell where the fairway ends and the rough begins. The fairways were extremely thin, with lots of bare patches. They also were nearly as hard as concrete, we found that our ball would just roll and roll, into hazards that were not really in play. The lack of rough compounded this problem.

The absolute best aspect of the course were the green complexes. The bunkers and actual greens were in magnificent condition. The greens ran really quick, had almost no marks, and rolled very smooth. I found myself in several bunkers, and the sand was in top notch condition and they were all well raked.

In conclusion the super thin fairways and lack of decent rough made this a tough outing. I would like to see the course in late April, maybe after the rough has grown in and the fairways have gotten to their full potential. A return trip will be in order, as I did enjoy the routing and style of the course. The layout is very challenging.

Played on Wednesday, 2/29. The best thing about this course is the greens. They nearly perfect. Very smooth and consistent. They roll well with medium fast speed. The greenside bunkers are also in excellent condition. However, the fairways are extremely thin and brown. There are quite a few areas with hard pan. There is no rough at all. Although the course is playable, it's not worth anything near the rack rate. Hopefully, springtime will see this course's condition improve.

played Friday, 12/30, 11am tee time, teed off 11:10, 4 1/2 hour round. Course in decent shape. Greens are true and running about 10-11 on stimp. It seems they are spray painting the fairways green, which leaves an odd fluorescent green... doesn't seem to affect playability. Fairways are fine, just winter brown/fluorescent green. The last time I played here was when they had no clubhouse (which is really nice btw), and it seems they made the course a bit more playable by removing some of the ESA, converting it to rough. It would be nice if people took care of the course, though. rake a bunker... fill a divot... Not horrible, but it would be annoying if your ball landed in a monster bunker footprint/hole.

Played Sunday 11/27 at 11:50 am. Until the 16th hole, our threesome never encountered anyone on the course. It was wide open. The greens and bunkers on this course are excellent. The tee boxes are fine as well. However, the fairways are very dried out. There are thin lies everyone and quite a bit of hardpan. This is a challenging, and interesting course to play. However, for the high green fees, I will wait until the fairways get a little more grass. I was told by one of the guys in the pro shop that they were going to overseed, but I'm not sure he is correct.
