I played here yesterday with my daughter and her boyfriend (both beginning golfers). The course is pretty much how kassper7 described it from last year. Overall, the course is in poor-to-fair shape. The rough is deep in many areas and you could easily lose a ball or two. Water hazards do come in to play if you are not straight. It was not a good ball striking day for me and I suffered some penalties. Tees and greens were okay; the greens rolled nicely, but there were a lot of ball marks and infiltrated weeds and kikuyu grass. The bunkers looked nice, but the sand was hard packed and not very playable. I made an online reservation for a twosome, thinking we'd be able to have an observer, but when I called I was denied. My bad. I made another online reservation for three later in the day, but could not get a refund on the first reservation. Oh well. I ended up playing two rounds (minus a few holes) early and then another round later with my daughter and her boyfriend. This is the course to bring beginning golfers. Unlike nearby Vista Valencia GC, this course was wide open on a Sunday. Three hours for the three of us; earlier it was about 1.5 hours per round for me alone. I had to skip around on the second round to make it. I cold have avoided all that if the pro shop just told me how empty the course was. I would have paid the extra green fee up front. The person I spoke to made it seem like the course would be busy and no room to add an observer or extra golfer. That was bad info.
