Had absolutely nothing to do today 10/25 and looked for a place to play. Pretty windy out in Orange and Riverside Counties so went inland a bit. Decided on Westridge since it has been a long time since I have played here. Have heard so many stories about this course closing but wanted to give it a go. On a warm afternoon (actually it was freaking hot) drove up around 10:00 am and got right out. Customer service was great . The starter Mario, sent me right out to the tee as a single and ahead of a women’s group. I was surprised with the overall conditions. Tee boxes were a bit chewed up but were level. Fairways had issues. The kikuyu had not fully grown in for some reason. A lot of bare spots. Sand traps were in great condition. I saw on many of the holes, maintenance was working on the sand traps. Clearly, they did a great job. Greens were in very nice condition. Not real slow or fast, about medium speed but rolled true. Forgot about the undulations on some of the greens. Tough to read. But it was nice to see very few un repaired ball marks As the previous reviewer indicated, it appears the course is going through a transition period but for the positive. It’s in much better condition than the last time I was here. I was going to head up to the restaurant to have a beer but the starter said it was closed for now. He mentioned that they hope to open the restaurant sometime in the future. Looks like improvements are pending here. Good to hear as I enjoy the layout. Let’s give it some time and see how it works out. I am not giving up on Westridge.

Having seen no reviews (and the last one ??) we took a chance on their $35 Monday special. Getting out early to beat the heat, our POP was 3 H. I have not played here in likely 1 to 1.5 years and while the conditions then were very good, conditions have changed. But not for the worse, like many rumors I have heard over the past many months? Customer service was excellent. Tee boxes were level and recently cut, so no issues; rough was thick and sticky; fairways (like many in S CA) could use a lot more green, but today they were in good shape and provided roll and good lies, 90% of the time (I have played worse recently); bunkers were nice and playable, heard no complaints; greens are good/bad, as we found a couple in need of TLC (looked like heat issues) but overall they were playable (but that was early AM, who knows how they are in the PM) and I hope over the coming months, they get better? IMO the course is going through a transition period and it appears positive in my eyes, rather than negative. I personally have always liked this course. This is not a walking course by any means and maybe that is why many don't like to play it? And IMO it is better played early morning, if possible? It is a beautiful layout in the La Habra hills, with some wonderful holes (# 4 Par 5 is a good example, along with # 9 downhill Par 5 water fronting green, to mention just 2) and good/challenging Par 3's. It is also, a stern test of golf and personal will. I am hoping management does not give up on this course and I will go back in Sept (after the heat) and check it out again.

Played 5/20 on a very warm afternoon (no water in any of the jugs). I heard a lot of interesting things about this course and why I feel its really an avoidable course at this point. Clubhouse guys and marshal were nice.

Tees: Pretty bad. Uneven, not mowed consistently. 5/10
Fairways: Some of the worst I have seen. Looks like they were aerated a month or so ago but still haven't recovered. I hit 11 fairways and can say only once did I find a decent lie. The rest were dirt or patchy. 3/10
Rough: Pretty long in places, short in others, overall inconsistent. 5/10
Bunkers: Pretty thin but playable, I had no problem in either GS one I was in. 5/10
Greens: The lone bright spot for the course. Undulating, medium speed and surprisingly consistent throughout. 6.5/10

Interesting things I heard (from the marshal):
1) Course is not being turned into homes and will remain open
2) They are putting money in hoping it will get better
3) They currently have a homeless problem with transients sneaking into the bathrooms and sleeping there. They also are stealing the water jugs.

For the 30$ I paid I would still not return unless it was my only option. The only course in worse condition I have seen recently is Riverview. Too bad, I really do enjoy the layout.

Late review. Played on 4/16/17. Went to the pro shop and the reservation made the prior week wasn't there. But they accommodated and got us out before the tournament they had.

Course was ok. Fairway was lush but choppy grass. Rough was the same. The greens were really rolling fast and true. Down hill puts were killers!

Pace of play was just under 4 hours. No one in front of us and behind us. Played a smooth round of golf (probably the first time at this course).

Played on 2/19/17 for the 1st time in 4 years. The forecast said 0% rain, but that didn't happen! Sprinkled all day on and off.

Before writing the review, I will be honest. This is one of my least favorite course. I played because an annual tournament that I play in is going to be played here. The last time that I played was when they had the tournament on this course 4 years ago.

The course was doing OK after the heavy storm that we had. The course was overall soft, but not soaked. The best part of the course was the green. I came in thinking that it will be long due to the rain, but all the greens were cut and rolled true. It was extremely slow due to the rain, but I did expect that to happen. The fairway was fair. A little longer than usual, but I have played in worse condition on this course (5 inch tall fairway!). Noticed that some of the holes looked like they were punched before the rain. Few holes had huge bare spots on the fairway. The sand was packed, but that's expected after the rain.

In the 4 years that I haven't played, I saw some small changes. The front and back nine were flipped (again). The OB stakes between the current 4th and 5th (old 13th and 14th) is gone. 17th (old 8th) had an wood chipped area in front of the tee box.

More reviews to come. I will play this course until June...

Haven't played this course in several years as my last experience here was rather a major disappointment. Offered a free round from one of my buddies on Sunday morning so jumped at the chance. Things here at this course are DEPLORABLE!!!!

Fairways were a mix of dead green, burnt, tight lies that included many bare areas, or ground cover weeds, and hard as CEMENT. Rough, bare or overgrown weeds was the normal to find. If you do come across grass its crisp and contains the previously mentioned ground cover weeds that seem to go on forever.
Bunkers in theory only because of the look and non-playable rock hard, little to no sand and fairly large pebbles that resemble half in inch rocks.
Greens, forget it, rough, bouncy dry, dead in several areas not just on the fringe. Made our own rule to move the ball for a clear line after the first couple of holes. Finally, customer service was eager to take your money without a mention or warning about the poor conditions.
Never thought i would be happy to see a course go but in my opinion this is a good choice. Don't waste your time or money here.

Played on 9/23. As recent reviews state, course is not in very good condition. I did ask, and the staff confirmed, the course is in escrow being sold to a developer who will turn the course into 450 homes. No date set on the closure. Unfortunate, as this was a nice course in its late 90s early 00s heyday.

I was glad to make it out here one last time.

Thumbs down for me at this time... I use to like playing this course, the staff has always been great and it's got a decent layout with various challenges but the condition the course seems to be on down slide, currently it is "not good". Tee boxes have been neglected, a little beat up and the grass needs to be cut. The fairways aren't what they use to be, a lot of dead spots. The greens are kind of hit and miss, some are green and decent but others are fair at best... one green is really bad like it has blight or something. The sand is OK, a bit thin but playable, just not consistent. We went into the bar at 3:45 and it was closed... the air conditioning was off and no lights on so I'm not sure what's that all about. Over the years the course has dropped a bit in comparison to what it use to be but now it's in only fair condition. On the positive side there are specials online for cheap, like $22 which is a lot better than the $50 they get during the weekdays. Maybe some water and a bit of maintenance this course could get back to a decent playable course. For now I'd pass until the conditions improve.

Played 8/17/16 @ 730. This course has seen better days. I'm not sure if it's because they've given up or they just don't have money or a combination of both. The tee boxes we uneven most of the time, fairways had several types of grass throughout if there was even grass at all. Rough not very penal, sand traps were a mixed bag. Greens were pretty beat up and bumpy. Only reason why I keep coming back is because it's relatively close and has a fairly reasonable green fee.
