PLAYED HERE 5/20/18 WITH A 5:48AM TEE TIME. FRIENDLY STAFF AND P.O.P WAS 4 HOURS FOR MYSELF AND MY FRIEND. WE HAD TO WAIT ON THE LAST 4 HOLES ABOUT 15 MIN EACH OTHERWISE WE WOULD HAVE FINISHED THE COURSE IN 3 HOURS!

AS FAR AS CONDITIONS ARE CONCERNED, TEE BOXES ON THE FRONT 9 WERE PRETTY LEVEL AND GREEN, THE TEE BOXES ON THE BACK 9 WERE TERRIBLE. FAIRWAYS WERE PRETTY HARD PACKED BUT FOR THE MOST PART GREEN. THIS COURSE IS DOING MAINTENANCE CONSTANTLY WHICH IS A GOOD SIGN. I COUNTED 11 GROUNDSKEEPERS ON THE BACK 9 HOLES WHICH IS ALWAYS GREAT TO SEE THEM MOWING AND BLOWING AND RAKING AND CLEANING. GREENS WERE INCREDIBLY FAST!!!! IN FACT, I'VE NEVER SEEN OR PLAYED SUCH FAST GREENS ON A PUBLIC MUNICIPAL COURSE IN MY LIFE! I COULDNT JUDGE SPEED AND HAD THE WORST PUTTING OF MY LIFE! COULDN'T READ 80% OF THE BREAKS EITHER BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS COURSE IS A PAR 67 AND IS A SHORTER COURSE BUT DO NOT TAKE IT FOR GRANTED. IT'S HONESTLY A VERY VERY NARROW COURSE FROM THE BACK TEES. IF YOU DONT HIT A STRAIGHT BALL YOU MIGHT AS WELL PUT A 100+ ON YOUR SCORECARD. I SHOW A 92 AND THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT LIKE ME! FRUSTRATION AT IT'S FINEST!!! =)

Played today. Grounds crew is currently working on putting new sand in the traps which is wonderful.

The fairways were recently plugged.

Some tractor marks where the tractor drive to fill the bunkers with new sand. Did not seem to affect play at all.

A few tee boxes on the back 9 are under repair. This has made 3 holes that were par 4s play like par 3s.

The greens are about 90% recovered from being plugged a couple weeks ago.

A few tee boxes on the back 9 are under repair. This has made 3 holes that were par 4s play like par 3s.

The greens are about 90% recovered from being plugged a couple weeks ago.

Overall, this course is challenging because hazards are in play on most holes - flood control Creek and tree line running down the center of the course.

The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The pro shop will regrip on-site.

Pace of play ranges from 4 to 5.5 hours.

Greens are currently aerated. 1 hole had an alternate green due to aeration.

I mainly play fullerton GC because of price and convenience. Pace was good because other players are going elsewhere haha. But this course is good for beginners and players who wanna work on their irons. Nothing special.

Played on a warm Saturday afternoon. Because humidity ticked up over 10% and it was over 85 degrees, the course was pretty empty, so pace of play was a non issue. The course conditions were pretty decent for a lower end course. There are some bare areas in the fairways on the longer holes as they are cutting back on water during the summer peak. Even still, there is some pretty good coverage. Tee boxes are not perfectly level, but playable with pretty good coverage with exception to 1 or 2 holes. Almost all of the bunkers have been refilled with decent quality sand. The greens are in good shape, some ball marks, but they did roll nicely at medium speed. This course is short and tight with a few nice holes, 1 or 2 funky ones, and the rest being pretty straightforward. A nice place to walk and work on the iron game, I'd recommend when it isn't too crowded.

Played using my Lake Forest Players Club (American Golf) membership access. Paid $19.97 for the round with cart and a drink. Played as a twosome. Tee time was scheduled at 9:00 am but we got off at 8:40. Round completed in 4:30 minutes. Starting the morning the pro shop / starter was friendly and wonderful, very pleasant. Practice green was representative of the course regarding speed. Cart was basic, clean, worked well. My playing partner and I started the morning splitting a breakfast burrito from the club house grill. Excellent with very friendly service, and a fair price. We would hit the grill again at the turn for an excellent hot dog, and kudos that they had both diced onions and relish in dishes so I didn't have to fight sticky packets. They are doing a fair amount of work on the course. The first hole which usually tee's off from on high was moved into the fairway about where most drives would end up, making the Par 4 a long Par 3. Tee box condition was uniformly lush, and level, but the ground is so dense that I broke two tees setting up shots for my 4 and 5 iron. We were told they would be aerating the course mid April. Playing from the blues which were often set back the visual perspective was challenging on several holes, making the right shot difficult to envision. Fairways are challenging as there is seldom a level lie, and it is possible to hit a shot straight down the fairway only to have it roll off into rough or a hazard. There are also significant areas of OB. This is target golf. A number of the fairways are still muddy, although not often at my distances. This continued into low lying rough. The result of the muddy areas are some bare spots. It seems they are not watering much so as to dry the whole course. It's not bad, just worth noting. This course uses a number of dog legs to protect the course, it really helps to play this course with someone that knows it well. Aim points are not obvious. The rough is the weakness of this course. There are large sections of fluffy 3" to 4" deep rough with little flowers sometimes next to bare spots and what looked to me like flat weeds. The rough is also littered with small twigs, pine straw (which reappears on greens) and acorns. Give the propensity for this course to tilt your ball into the rough this presented a risk and cost me more than a few strokes. Sand Traps - I fortunately was never in the sand, my partner was, and as a group they were fluffy and clean. At least half a dozen traps were being worked on as we played, adding new sand. I suspect by the end of the day all work was done. Greens were very firm, overall fast depending on position of your ball, and the sun. Sun position was huge. A number of the greens feature levels, undulation, significant slope and a couple have false fronts with sever run off. Despite the fact that we were playing behind the ladies league and were out later in the morning there were few significant ball marks. What was more of an issue was the tree detritus, acorns, pine straw, leaves that had to be moved to clean the line. About 12pm the wind started to come up, as we faced a number of shots up hill, down hill and across valleys. Nothing too bad, just a fun challege. Temp at 8:40 tee off was 54 degrees, temp at completion 1:15 pm, was 82 degrees. Pace of play was 4.5 hours behind a ladies league that left us talking to the men's foursome in front of us, and the twosome behind us regularly after the 4th tee. Nothing to really do about it. Saw the Marshall and ambassadors several times during the round, actually got them to say hello on a couple of occasions. Around the greens trees play a huge part in shaping shot selection, as they do off the tees. Notes: Restrooms (I think at the third tee) and clubhouse have been completely remodeled and are very nice. Course plays to a Par 67. I would rate this a great value for the money. The challenge is using long iron on holes that seem to ask for driver because of fairway contours. I personally would play it again fairly soon, but would seek to tee off earlier especially as the temps rise.

While I do not play here all that often, I always enjoy my experience. The staff was great, and for $17, well worth the $$. The foursome who had the first tee time, allowed us to go off ahead of them, which was very nice of them. We zipped around until we caught a foursome on #15, then just played slow for the last 4 holes. Still able to finish in 2 hours 20 min even with the delay.

Course was actually in way better condition than I expected. (first hole still a par 3) Other than the fringe areas, which are always crappy, the actual fairways/greens/tee boxes were in good condition. Greens rolled nicely, albeit a bit slow for my taste. If you play from the "tips" on every tee, there are some good shots on this course - fun !

While I would not choose to play here every time, it was a positive experience and had a nice quick enjoyable morning of golf (And cheap too)

Played today with a 31.99 rate, finished in 3.5 hours so good pace for this place. The first hole is temporarily changed to a par 3, and many holes are CPO. Unlike most area courses, the rain was not kind to this place. Every surface from tee to green is very hard. The coverage on the tee boxes, fairways and rough was very spotty overall. Tough to get tees in the ground as well. Most bunkers were hard beneath maybe an inch of soft sand. The greens were surprisingly nice as far as ball damage and roll goes.

The service in the pro shop was excellent. However, we had a ground crew fellow just ahead of us for most of the round. He was dousing every green with so much water it was causing pooling, and would take his time doing it so we waited on most approach shots while he soaked everything. Pretty much ruined the round. Hopefully this was an anomaly and doesn't happen to the next gk'er that plays here.

Final impression: Needs to soften up and green up everywhere. It's still golf so it's still fun, but don't expect good lies.
