Course could be a real keeper but the last year has turned into a goat pasture. They brought in a new management group and invested in the driving range very nice and newer carts. Problem is its bone dry and until they get the water issue in place will be horrible playing conditions. They are building the new Dodgers farm club across the street so have to imagine once the stadium is completed will invest in course. For now its painful.

Early morning 4.5 hour round. The staff is always on point and practice facilities always busy. They do have carts with GPS that is not real accurate. If you want to drive your cart where you need to get take a cart without the GPS. Tee boxes were all a little shaggy, dry and beat. Many were littered with broken tees. I've even noticed many plastic tees being left after their use? The rough is not very thick or long where it exists and easy enough to hit from. The fairways have always been a mix of grasses but they are usually in good condition. The fairway lies were good but at times you may find a thin dry section. The traps are really in great shape around the greens with ample nice sand and well groomed. Fairway bunkers are where you will find brown compact sand/dirt with pebbles/rocks. The greens were very receptive to approach shots and held good without much roll out. All of the greens have complete coverage but the heat is starting to take its toll on a couple of them with funky sections of brown ripply spots. The greens are back to their usual quickness with few ball marks and unseen breaks. The crews have cleaned up scrub in places which allows those golfers who find themselves in them to locate their balls. That has resulted in a better place of play and the course marshal is usually out too. The rates are acceptable on the weekends and better during the week. Always a challenging course and enjoyable to play.

Best value in central Oregon. Winter is hard on the course as it takes a couple of months to get back to lush. From mid June until November course is in impeccable shape! Constance upgrades are done every year from new ball for the driver range to white sand in the bunkers. leveling the tee boxes it's a top caliber golf. As for play stay on the grass Not the ruff or the woods and you can manage your way around.

Played 6-30-25 in a GK/Vivid outing in a 11am shotgun start, finishing in a little under 5 hours. Easy check in, nice well stocked pro shop, down hill driving range off of mats, and decent sized putting green that matched greens on the course. Bermuda based course with a mix of wide to narrow fairways that were in good shape with good roll out and nice lies. Rough was in good shape and cut maybe an inch longer than fairways. Tee boxes were lush and level. Was in one greenside bunker that had a good layer of soft sand. Most greens a medium to large in size, rolling a little on the slow side today, but mostly true and playing medium-soft. Fun course that is in good early summer shape.

1Plus1 was on the money with his 6/25 review. I played 6/27 at 7:00. Went right out, nobody in front or behind. Everybody likes to feel like they stole something(legally) once in awhile. After our first 18(in 2.5 hours) we were listening for sirens. Another 18 later and we were sure the cuffs were waiting for us at the clubhouse. Just couldn't resist another 14. I'll admit an is a factor for me, but quantity with this quality just doesn't happen that often. Been playing summer desert golf for a long time and this was the best conditioned course for darn near July I can remember. Plus, it is an extremely fun track. Add in the reasonably priced and delicious food and beverage and the outstanding customer service and I still can't figure how there were only ten groups on the course. As 1plus said, the course is closed 7/7-17. I'm not sure I can stay away no matter how hot it gets. Water and ice machines on the course - use 'em.

Greens in solid shape heading into the summer. A bit on the moist, spongy side so large ball marks. Inconsistent speeds but still running around 10.5. Fairways have plenty of grass coverage but bermuda has taken over again and getting bird nest divots which are hard on the wrists. Rough is nasty as ball sinks to bottom. Sand traps are raked better but inconsistency in sand depth means you either hit the liner or never reach bottom. Green surrounds are tough because of slopes and chipping into/away from direction grass is growing.

Teed off around noon. POP exactly 4 hours. Cart girls and snack shop keep golfers hydrated and marshalls maintain pace of play.

Soule Park was again solid! Love this course every time!


Again had the pleasure of playing SP! It was an awesome day! Great weather and conditions all around today with a bit of 10 mph wind late on the back nine. I note the following:


Tee Boxes: Level and green, no damage. Condition very good.


Fairways: Green, lush, and defined from rough. Grabby with limited rollout. Condition very good.


Greens: Green, medium-fast in speed, on the medium to firm side, and tricky to read at times. Speed about a 11. Condition very good.


Sand: Maintained with heavy consistency. Condition very good.


Rough: Maintained and defined, about 3 – 5 inches. Condition very good.


Waste Areas: Maintained with overgrown nature that offered little to no recovery potential. Condition very good.


Driving Range: Very nice driving range! You are hitting off matts into an incredible mountain backdrop. This range was as good as it gets for the location and ran out at over 300 yards. I noted classic yellow range balls that flew well and were in good condition. Love the Driving Range experience here!


Practice Areas: Chipping area present was nice but compact. Conditions was above average. Practice putting green was ample and consistent in speed with the course's greens. Conditions was also above average.


POP: 5 hours – wait was encountered on 6 holes on the front nine and on one hole on the back nine. It was a busy day.


Other: Noted a nice golf shop, high grade. Service received was excellent!


Restaurant: Zaidi's Restaurant was epic! This is one of the best golf course restaurants you can ever eat at! The food here is top of the line and a must to enjoy when playing SP! A post round meal here makes for the perfect day!


This is a great golf course without a doubt, that requires a solid golf game to score. I loved this track and hope to be able to play it again in the future. Again Fully Endorsed!

Played Encino again, she is the old reliable call!


Got to Encino Golf Course for a fun T-Tuesday afternoon round of golf.


The course was in reasonable to good condition for a high traffic muni. However, it was showing some signs from the recent heat wave, as fairway grass in some areas was yellowing and becoming inconsistent. Pace of play was around 4.25 hours. I note the following conditions:


Tee Boxes: Not too good but not brutal. Could use more leveling in some tees.


Fairways: Green and defined from rough. Condition average for a Muni.


Greens: Green, slow to medium in speed, with softness. Speed about a 9ish. Condition average for a Muni.


Sand: Bunkers were OK in some areas, and other in other areas were not maintained and hard packed. Condition average for a Muni.


Rough: maintained and defined, about 3 – 5 inches. Condition average for a Muni.


Again enjoyed this course! The design is flat but strong if playing from the tips. This course is a another go-to that I always enjoy playing. Food was again good at their restaurant!

Aviara was so beautiful! Hands down a joy to play in this amazing botanical garden of a golf course!


Played a very fun round of golf at this amazing course. This a great course layout designed by Arnie with strategic challenges and scenic views. The layout is fun and challenging. The layout and design are an A+. This is a great course for an advanced golfer, yet playable for mid-level golfers.


Aviara is a fun Player's Course that is a reasonable test of golf with wind speeds that exceeded 10 mph in the afternoon. Aviara is well-designed into the natural areas surrounding and places premium on accuracy off the tee and into greens. The course features clear definition between its mid-sized fairways and rough areas, well placed bunkering on fairways and proximate to greens, along with strategic water hazards on a couple of holes, with medium-fast greens.


The course layout is rated a 4.7 out of 5, conditions are rated a 4.5 out of 5. I note the following:


Tee Boxes: Lush and in very nice condition.


Fairways: Lush and in very nice condition.


Greens: Well maintained and medium in speed, about a 10.5. Lush and in very nice condition.


Sand: Maintained and soft. Lush and in very nice condition.


Rough: Defined from the fairway and green collared but not too overgrown, about 2 – 4 inches. Very grabby at times. Lush and in very nice condition.


Waste Areas: - Waste areas on various holes did not offer the opportunity of recovery due to their overgrown nature. Lush and in very nice condition.


Driving Range: Very nice driving range with white rangers. Hitting off turf.


Practice Putting Green: multiple greens noted on site, condition above average. Lush and in very nice condition with speed consistent with golf course.


POP: 4.5 hours


The facility included a vey nice restaurant, and pro shop. Service received at both was very good.


Really enjoyed this layout and course. It is now my go to course in SD County! I absolutely loved it! Can't wait for my next opportunity to play Aviara!

Played today, riding, white tees, $44 at 11:24. There was some kind of mixup at the starter’s desk and we went out as a fivesome. We split up two and three but ended up back as a five because the course was a little backed up. The pace did quicken up on the back nine.

The course was in good condition. Greens were running medium slow; very few ball marks were visible but I fixed what I saw. Fairways and rough were very lush with good lies everywhere. Tees were level and had few, if any, bad areas.

They have some dynamic pricing on their website. As it turns out, one of the guys got the same tee time for $40. At noon it looks like the price goes down to about $36. No senior discount, whatever it says on website what you will pay. Still, not bad for 18 with a cart.

Drove out to Hesperia yesterday as single about 7:40 with wife along to drive nice cart and call out gps distances. Course is so green couldn’t believe we were in the desert. Heavy watering on first few holes with abundant maintenance ongoing. Longer course had me finding 7 raked traps with damp heavy sand that all played well no footprints! Rough was being mowed about 1” longer than wide well groomed fairways. Watering limited rollout. Greens were nice fast pace early becoming very fast as warming. Bent grass held shots leaving mostly shallow dents with most being previously repaired. Was an enjoyable outing which began slowing the last few holes finishing 3hrs & 20 minutes. Temps low 70s to high 80s without any wind. 35 senior rate recommend if heat not excessive.

Without question still best price round in Inland Empire. Fairway bunkers just hard pan, green side bunkers almost playable, Rest of course as good as you find at the price. Fairways about 85% playable lies without bump. Greens very good, speed average with uphill slow and down hill fast enough to get away. Very full tee sheets in the morning and 4 and half hour round regular. ;They have just cut rough so play has speeded up a bit and they have started trying to close and take care of a few tee boxes.
