Played today at 11:33. First time playing here. Course is built on side of foothill with beautiful canyon views. The greens were deceptively tricky with most putts breaking away from the foothills. Speed was 8 on flat putts. Fairways had good coverage. Rough was thick and there was mud all over the course. The terrain was super bumpy for your golf cart. Tee boxes were treacherously uneven. Sand traps were thin and bare. Layout is super quirky and tight. Cart girl came by numerous times and customer service was good. POP was 4:45. Will not return for a while. San Dimas ,nearby, is on better shape and better layout.

Morning tee time at MC, check in and first tee were organized. Tee boxes are a little unlevel but can find a flat spot to tee from, fairways have good coverage and were very moist providing little roll out on drives. Rough was up and wet hard to find your ball and hard to escape. Traps are basically dirt with a very thin layer of sand bounced a wedge out of the green side trap on #11. Greens are recovering from aeration with nice coverage and a little on the slow side which they are generally pretty quick. POP was 4 1/2 hours. Only a couple of deer on the course this morning.

aving played Marshall Canyon a number of times after heavy rains, I kind of knew what to expect. Prior review was spot on. Course was wet, but still very playable. Greens were not as soft as I've seen in the past. As expected, very receptive. Fairways handled the rains well, but as usual there were muddy areas. Bunkers were pretty much a disaster. But that's to be expected. Always a treat to play here. Love the view, enjoy seeing all the deer, and it's just a nice walk. Enjoy playing the old-style golf courses that lend themselves to walking, add the great senior rates and this courses continues to be one of my favorites to patronize.

Morning tee time today at MCGC. Course handled the rain pretty good some of the greens were very soft. Tee boxes a little on the thin side, fairways and rough on the wet side. Played bunkers ar GUR due to some filled with water and others had water removed but were basically mud. Greens had good coverage and somewhat soft but rolling good at medium slow speed. Aprons in front of greens were very soft with no roll. POP was a little over four hours. Due to course being so soft there is an ambassador on #2 tee box directing traffic giving the option of playing #2 and #3 walking only or moving to #4 tee. Good idea to preserve the #3 fairway from any cart damage. Sign at check in saying that American Golf has taken over course management.

Played here on 12/7 with a 7:30 tee time and was sent out about 15 minutes early with a nice couple visiting from the Portland area. Pace of play was right at 4 hours and we waited on the foursome ahead of us on a few holes.
Tee boxes are ok a bit winter thin but playable. The fairways are again winter thin and mostly decent coverage with a variety of different grasses/weeds.
The greens are nice with good coverage and running at a medium speed.
The bunkers have zero sand and are just hard packed dirt.
I enjoy the layout here and its always nice to see the deer on the course. At the entrances to a gated community next to the course there were signs saying that mountain lions have been seen in the area. I have seen bobcats and coyotes around the course.

One of my favorite LA County courses. The setting, with the great vistas, there are always deer around the course, and general flow of the course is pleasing. While certainly not the most difficult course, the greens offer plenty of challenge and there is enough length to satisfy this senior.

Greens were fine, decent pace, but far too soft. Generally, the fairways provided acceptable lies, but there are bare areas. Rough was inconsistent. Only in one bunker, but it was well maintained and had plenty of sand. Several tee boxes were rather beat up.

Staff here is always great to deal with, and the senior rate makes this well worth the drive for me. Fun track. Recommended.

Played a match today from the white tees with Kviser, and joining us were Jessie and Scott. My first time here, and I really enjoyed it. The check-in and Marshall were courteous and friendly. The tees were a little spotty on coverage, but I was always able to sort it out. The fairways were in good shape for such a dry summer, and the first cuts of rough were very playable too. Approach aprons were all mowed tight and quite helpful. The traps were packed and damp, and you had to pick it clean for egress. The greens were pretty fast in the morning, and steadily slowed as the round concluded. They were very soft underfoot, in fact, my pin high approach shot from 120 out on #8, was a fried egg on the green! There were many greens where the kikuyu fringes are trying to encroach. This is a kikuyu dominant track and not a push over. We saw the drink cart twice and plenty of wildlife. We had great golf weather and playing partners. Recommended.

Morning tee time at MC have not played here for awhile and conditions have really improved. Previous review is spot on and the greens are back to their challenge. Greens were a little spongy in anticipation of the heat but are still very tough to read. Beautiful day and the local wildlife make for a pleasant round.

Out early as always. Arrived at 5:25am, and by 5:40 am there were a lot of people there, but the pro shop had not yet opened. Able to get out ahead of the crowds which was nice. I generally run into a lot of back nine play, but today, just one single, which I easily played through.

The course is probably in the best condition I have seen for a long time. The fairways are green and lush with good coverage. I only had about 5 or 6 mowed greens, but those that were cut rolled very nicely. I rarely spin the ball back on my shorter irons, but today I backed up several shots, which is not typical for me. Greens very receptive! Bunkers were not great. I found two and both were just full of water from the sprinklers. Worst part of the course were the tee boxes. I played "tips" so I could usually find a decent area to hit from, but otherwise the tees were really beat up.

Love playing this course. Enjoy the views, the deer, the variety of the holes. Not the most difficult course, but sure is fun.
