Course knowlege is key here. Played in the BigDog tournament. Thanks to BD and his buddge for getting us here and playing! Wonderful facilities. Great service. Tee boxes to fairways to the sand were spectacular. Only problems I had were the slow greens. Not what I was expecting. According to the starter it ran an 8 on the Stimp. didn't believe him until we putted our first green. He wasn't exagerating. The other item I found frustrating on the site is course knowlege is KEY here. You have to know where to place the ball b/c of some blind shots. Fun course just kept asking myself where the windmill or the giggling clown was b/c some of the course features felt kinda gimicky. Greens were easy to read. Just felt I could have shaved easily 5-6 strokes just with course knowledge. For a newbie to the course it could go a long way to managing the course and your strokes.

Aside from that... course was in great shape. Amazing for Valencia in the middle of a heat with a nice easy wind blowing. Course plays tight and placement is key as is course knowledge but I will see how I shall fair next time I get there.

Played TPC Valencia yesterday in the Greenskeeper.org "casual event" put on by The Big Dog. The tourney was run so very well, I can't tell you how worthwhile these events are. Great people (Thanks Kevin, Jim and Bernie for a great afternoon of golf!!), a chance to play a great course that is usually private for an outrageous price! You can't ask for anything better!

As for the course, this was my first time at TPC-V. Course-knowedge is a big factor here if you want to score well. I would do things a bit differently next time out, as I did not play particularly well...but that's not the course's fault.

It's not my favorite type of layout. A little "target-y" for my tastes. Although the fairways are by-and-large fairly wide and generous, the flat-lie/optimum hitting areas are few-and-far-between.

When I was on the fairway, I found than to be lush and quite nice. The rough is not too thick, but still not where you'd want to be.

The greens look nice, a few areas are turning brown, but that's a matter of aesthetics and really did not effect play. For as nice as they were (held most shots well) - - they were much slower than I would have imagined they's be. Yes, the tip given to us by the starter is true, for the most part, "all putts break toward the freeway"....but on the front-side, I must have left 8-9 putts short. Uphill, against the grain was like putting through glue. A little disappointing, as this was not what I was expecting from country-club greens.

Impressive note: The G.M. himself was out watering the greens!! Outstanding!!

The cool-towel delivery was a nice bonus....

Saw the cart-girl four times (2x on the front-side, 2x on the back).

The staff and everybody at TPC-V were very nice and the whole atmosphere was just amazing.

Would I like a steady-diet of nothing but courses like TPC-V? Probably not. But it was a wonderful day! Thanks to CalFootDoc and TheBigDog for putting this one together! A++

The course is challenging but very enjoyable for beginers or seasoned golfers. I've played the course for the past 2 years and it is in the best condition since I started playing there.

Greens still not holding. They are soft with sandy base under grass but could not get a ProV1 or Callaway 56 tour to spin and hold. Especially the 9 th hole.

I drove my daughter and some other kids around this course during a golf camp and was happy that they were the ones playing. The front nine was playable however the back nine was maybe the poorest example of "challenging layout" I've seen in some time. I would not play this course if they let me on for free! To think that people actually moved to this place from Valencia CC just boggles the mind. Obviously, you don't always get what you pay for.

now that the course is private, it is well worth the green fees. find a memeber and play the course.

Good course in great condition. Cart path only provided too much exercise! friendly staff higher green fees, overall worth the price.
I'll be back

This is the first time I've played this course and after reading the reviews, really was not expecting anything fabulous. Well I was underwhelmed by the course! It was in very nice condition, the staff was excellent, but the course is nothing special! In fact I thought the rating of 73.6 slope 133 from the player tees was absurd. If you wanted to lower your index, this would be the course to do it on! Holes 9, 10, & 14 are tough, but otherside this course is just not that hard. It's 120 mile drive for me, so the next time I want to use up all my gas, I'll go back to Robinson Ranch for a fraction of the cost!

Nice...way overpriced for the actual quality of the golf experience.
