Played here 6/8 and was pleasantly surprised. This track came out of the shutdown in very good shape ( for a muni)
Most tee boxes had good coverage. The fairways are the best i’ve seen them with very good coverage and very green.
Greens were smooth and running a little slower than usual but still medium quick. There was one green that showed some damage and had some strips plugged in that need more time to grow in. The hole was cut far enough away so it did not effect play.
Check in is at a window so you don't go inside the shop and the snack bar is closed and I never saw a cart. My teetime was 7:15 and we finished in 3:30. I talked with a guy in the cart barn after my round and he said the county has someone there every morning checking up on how they sanitize the carts.

Took a chance that Marshall Canyon would be open, and they are in fact open, at least for today. As expected, not very crowded. Playing golf now is strange, because you kind of think this might be the last round for who knows how long ?

As per the last review, greens very good, faster than they looked. Held shots well (Thanks to the rains I suspect) The rough is absolutely brutal in spots, so need to keep it in the fairway. Bunkers were a mixed bag, wet, compacted, but at times OK.

I enjoy playing here, but today I just could not get "my head in the game" very distracted.

Played here with a friend 3/15/20 with a 7:37 am tee time. We were able to get out 20 minutes early thanks to the rain! Check in and pro shop was easy and friendly. Course is in good shape but not GREAT shape. Everything is very green from all the rain but fairways are long and rough is even longer. Hasnt been mowed in awhile due to the excessive rain i think.

Greens- 8/10 - rolled 100% true but were real slow due to the saturation
Fairways- 7/10- As I said green and good coverage but kinda long grass for fairways
Rough- 7/1- too long, sometimes we couldnt find a ball it was buried in the rough, definitely penalty worthy though
Sand- cant rate cause i wasnt in any traps but my friend was in 3 and said sand was firm and not fluffy so ill give it a 5/10
Tee boxes- 7/10- all were pretty good with the exception of hole #2 and I think hole 6( whichever is the #1 handicap par 4) those two holes were chewed up a bit. Hole 9 was a little tore up too.

Pace of play was 4 hours and cost was $56. Way too much money for playing in the rain on a public course. This is a $35 course maybe $45 if taken care of properly. Right now it's overpriced.

I always enjoy playing this course because I rarely have any difficulty getting out early, coupled with the great senior rate of $15.75, and the wonderful views and having all the deer around, is just so cool!

However, this morning it was as busy as I have seen it, quite a few people waiting for the shop to open, but we were still able to get out first and moved around well until we ran into a 5-some on #14. They did allow us to play through on #16, which was good.

Every time I play here I comment how great it would be if the greens would roll as quickly as they had the first time I played here. Well, today, the greens were just like I remembered. It was fun watching the shots role out after hitting the greens. (Just like Augusta National - well maybe not just like Augusta, that would be a stupid comparison) But on some of the downhill putts, I'd bet they rolled 12-13 on the stimp. Great fun to play with the greens being so quick. The rest of the course was typical Marshall Canyon. Fairways mostly decent with some areas needing attention. Bunkers had enough sand, but could use some raking. Tee boxes for the most part were good, not too chewed up.

This is such a wonderful, fun, golf course to play under these conditions. It's visually appealing, enough of a challenge to keep your interest, but still affords lots of birdie opportunities. Great way to begin the week !

Have been taking lessons here with Bruce Thompson and figured i should post a review of the course. Always love this course (moved to live right by it). For all its quirks, it really is a good course. Played January 12, 2020 and it was in typical Marshall Canyon condition. Pace of play for a twosome was about 3.5 hours on a Sunday afternoon.

Greens were still impossible to read, and were very fast. Was still able to putt decent, but I will never really have the greens figured out here.

Fairways were in surprisingly decent shape. Some muddy spots, but very little bare area. Grass was actually pretty decent in fairways. Never an even lie in the fairway, but course is sitting on the side of a mountain.

Rough was spotty. Some shots had long grass, some had crab grass, some were on nothing but pine needles. More importantly than the playing surface, was the fact that there were all sorts of covered holes, meaning that i could not get a good lie in the rough. Upside, they trimmed some trees, so i did nit have to punch out as often as i have in the past.

Tee boxes were really uneven. I wish they would fix their tee boxes. They have been investing a lot into the course as of late, so i assume they will level out the tee boxes at some point. Still, the unevenness cost me a couple shots from the tee.

Staff is always great here. Matt and Cameron in the pro shop/cart barn are great. Bruce is great - again, i get lessons from him, as does my kid. Food service is great - bev cart was around a few times this afternoon.

Also, course just replaced their carts. New carts are really nice, even if they do not have gps in them.

All in all, i love Marshall. It is my home course and i will play it until they kick me off. Also, do not come here as i do not want it to become San Dimas, Diamond Bar or Mountain Meadows - i like the 3.5 hour rounds.

Went out to play here again monday Jan. 6 Walked on around 8:15 and got straight out to the tee.
Not much has changed here since I was here last month except they have lost several large trees I assume from the recent wind and rain. One of the largest trees on the property was down across the 10th fairway and the crews were in the process of cutting and hauling it away.
They also have brand new carts. No GPS but they do have a USB port.
Tee boxes are a little beat up and the fairways are a little thinner than last month. There are a few soggy/wet areas but overall I had decent lies.
A couple of bunkers had standing water and others looked a little wet.
Greens were real good and hard to putt if you end up above the hole.
Overall a fun course in decent winter shape.

Played my first 18 hole round since Jan. today. The course was in typical winter condition with some soft spots and some bare spots in the fairways. This place has a mixture of different grasses and weeds for the fairways and the rough is about the same, just a little longer.
Never had a bad lie guess i was just lucky.
Tee boxes were level and not beat up.
I was in one fairway bunker and it had decent sand but did have some medium sized rocks mixed in.
Greens were the highlight of the course being in good shape with very few pitch marks. These greens have a lot of back to front slope and some very subtle breaks that are hard to read.
Overall I enjoy this track and have never had a round where you have to wait on every shot. Played as a threesome today and finished in 4:15.

Played on Sunday 11/24/19. I always enjoy this course no matter the condition for the serenity and scenery. If you've played here before you know that it is a haven for deer and squirrels. Anyway, on to the course. I was pleasantly surprised that the greens were in great shape and at a fair speed for this place. If they are too fast, it can become ridiculous when you are above the hole on most of the greens. (That's my tip for the day) The fairways are decent with a few bare spots. The rough is not difficult. The sand traps need some work and the tee boxes are currently over seeded on more than half the holes. Nice to see management making the effort to smooth them out. Also, my lower back thanks you for putting in those new cart paths. haha
POP on Sunday was 4.5 hours and I had a fun time enjoying the peace and quiet at MC.
For the record, just after a heavy rain, this place can get a little soggy. So wait a week or so.
GRNLZRD OUT!

First off at 6:15am in the dark. I really enjoy playing this course, as I enjoy all the deer on the course, the scenic views, trees, just a nice park like setting. The conditions can be a bit disturbing because some of the greens are good, others just so-so. Having played here many times, it sure helps to understand how these greens break. Fairways were a mix of dried out and soaked ??? Same with the rough, some thin, some so thick, very easy to lose your ball, worse than U S Open rough !

Being first off we had no pace of play issue on the front nine, but ran into a six-some (That's right, a 6 some) on #13, so had to skip a hole to get around them. Otherwise no problems. Staff was friendly and accommodating, and for $15.75, what a deal !
