I played this course on 11/16/14. We were a group of 5 and started at noon which is twilight now. The course conditions are terrible most of the fairways are dirt and looks like construction of some source is going on. You might think you hit a fairway but being off is the same thing. The pace of play was slow. We were a 5 some and keep on waiting for the 3some in front of us with no Marshall anywhere to speeds things up. This is one of the worst courses that I played condition wise. The layout is nice but is not worth spending 5 hours in a course like this one. We thought that since is was an orange County course we were going to get quality but we were disappointed. The only positive about our outing was the over price bacon cheeseburger at the turn.

After playing here on 9-14-14, couldn't wait to get back, and even brought a friend to play. What a difference 2 weeks make! Played on 9-19-14, and have to say, it was different than my 1st experience there. POP and back 9 greens were bad. POP was terrible for me and my buddy on the front 9. Got paired with 2 ladies that were interested in talking to each other than playing. How many times can you constantly say to a pair "you can go ahead and hit now"? Apparently, 9+ times! like on every hole. Finally they got the hint when we just started playing ahead of them from the 7th hole on. The greens were horrible! The bad part, the aerated front 9 greens were much better than the non punched back 9! It was like putting on shag carpet, no putts held the line, and it was a slower than the front 9 or putting greens. The starters(both of them), were really nice in getting us a cart and getting us out on the tee. The starter/Marshall was a really nice and funny guy, and I actually saw him out on the course a few times. Not a big fan of courses that charge you to use the chipping greens and have dirt ranges, so I didn't get to warm-up like I wanted to.

Decided to try to get a quick early round in that was not too far from home. I kind of knew what to expect condition wise and the past review was spot on, although the greens are healing nicely and within the next week or so the "old" punched half should be fine, but of course then the other half will be punched next week.

Not a huge fan of this course and because they have a lot of early back nine play, I tend to shy away. That was the case again, zipped around the font only to run into a wall of back nine players. Because it was so nice out, just decided to slow down, play a couple balls and enjoy the morning.

My apologies on this post - part review, part rant.
Our Mens club had already scheduled our tourney here a year ago so could not cancel out. I checked GK for conditions, which I normally do for all our tournaments - greens were punched last week in front only . Bummer

Management was kind enough to make amends (won't say how so as not to put pressure on them, will give them an attaboy)

Conditions were good under the circumstances of hot weather.
Tee boxes were kinda chewed up with many divots, and uneven but could find a place to tee it up. fairways were decent with some thin/dirt spots but rolled nice. The starter mentioned that course is built on an old landfill which causes problems off and on (Did not know this), Rough was the same with some thin/dirt spots and some places were shaggy with unmowed grass (Purposely) and grabbed your club. Bunkers were ok, not great sand but were playable.

The greens were what I expected - front half is starting to bounce back, still some deep holes from aeration, covered with sand and gruesomely slow making for some interesting putting challenges. On the smooth side they rolled well, with many ball marks.

POP - for a Saturday, with a tournament group we finished in just over 4.75 hrs, we could have done it in just over 4. We were the 1st group out, on the tee box were two groups, a 4some of seniors, and a 3some of college age young people 2males/1female. by the 3rd hole it slowed up. Had to wait on teeing off. The 4some fell back about a hole, the 3some waited to tee off until the 4some was close to the green. At around the 7th hole a marshal came around, senior waiting for group in front of them to reach the green, he asked us if we were being held up, of course. He went to see what the hold up was. He came back at the 11th hole, he had asked the seniors to speed up which was noticeable, but the 3 youngsters were still waiting to tee off. Drives were in the 160-180 range, many hooks n slices but still waited.

I asked the marshal to look into the youngsters, a hole later he came back "I spoke to them about their slow play, they looked a me and one said No English" LOL, No they were not Latino!
well at least he tried and it could have turned into a 5.5 hr or worse round. Kudos to the marshal, and the staff. At least our group shot decent and had a great time, and the beer was cold! Again TY for letting me share my rant.
Keep it in the short stuff!

Played the course today at 4 with gn special of 15.00 to ride.. Met three nice people and fun was had by all.. The course is a little rough right now, and half the greens are punched, but for 15.00 you can't pass that up.. I will give a few weeks but I'm definitely coming back!!

Played today 09-03-14. POP was great for the 1st 9(1:45), decent for the back 9(2:30). Played as a 2some, no one infront until the the 6th hole. a 5some on 10 let 1 pair by, but decided to hit when we got to the tee box, slowing everything down. The tee boxes were in good shape. The fairways had a lot of bare spots, and they over-watered a lot of them. Greens were rolling good, and deceptively fast. BUnkers had that hard crunchy dirt instead of sand, but played good.

Would definitely come back. as it has a lot of tricky holes for a 1st timer.

Tee Time: 6am Holes Played: 9 Pace of Play: 2hr Tee Box: Overall conditions of the tee box were good. I would describe as your typical/average city tee boxes - nothing special, nothing bad. Fairways: Good fairways. Fairly clean and not too many bare spots. I would say 80% of the fairways was good and 20% were bare. Rough: Same as the fairways, nothing great, nothing bad. Green: Greens were soft/firm and fairly smooth. There were some duck poop around some of the holes, so that can be annoying. Overall good/playable conditions. However, I didn't like the pin placements today. All the pins were on a hill and the putts would roll next to the hole and roll right back 10 feet away from the pin. I believe there's a tournament today, which is why the pins were place in difficult positions. Overall: As mentioned, its your typical city golf course. It's definitely better in comparison to others around the area. I would say the rating should be about 5.5 to a 6.5.

Played on 4/14 for an afternoon rate of $35. Got around with foursome in just over 4 hours. The greens are very nice, the are smooth, soft, and very playable. The fairways on the other hand, look like a $35 course. Weeds, bare spots, and uneven tee boxes rule the landscape. The course itself is not a terrible layout. It's easily walk-able and quite flat. It's also a ridiculously easy course with very few hazards or challenging shots. All 4 par 5's are reachable and a couple of the par 4's you can get within chipping distance off the tee (I love those driveable par 4's!). You're not going to mistake RSJ for Pebble Beach or even Tijeras Creek, but for $35 and a 4 hour round, it was an enjoyable afternoon and I'd probably come back for something around that same price.

Teed of a 9:20 on a Wednesday morning. No one in front of us, no one behind us, and we finished in 4-1/2 hours. Course is really in rough shape with lots of bare spots and muddy areas. If the drought persists and water rationing becomes a reality, this course will suffer immensely.
