Mid morning Oaks/Creek nines 4.5 hour round on a very windy day. The staff and pro shop are really nice. The practice facilities are adequate and well maintained. The tee boxes were all in good level shape with the exception of the par three holes. The second hole on the Creek was almost solid unfilled divots. The rough was cut down to a nice length but advancing from it was difficult and penal. The fairways are in excellent condition with total green grass coverage from side to side and great lies. The roll on some of the fairways was limited by the amount of watering. The bunkers were all full of decent sand but many needed a good raking and some were damp. The greens were all great with hardly any ball marks. They held shots well and consistently rolled true but were a little slower than usual. The course allows walkers and these two nines are great for that. Nice access to the freeway is also a plus.

Played early this morning. POP 3H.

Course is in great shape at the moment. This course gets much more play than Rancho Solano due to location minutes off
I 80 and large driving range and practice areas. Restaurant is bigger as well. Also course is pretty much flat (easy to walk) and w/o the elevation changes at RS that might bother many golfers.

I found all tee boxes to be clean, level and playable.

Fairways good coverage, good lies, rollout
on all of them.

Rough was manageable. But there is a creek running through the course and lots of OB areas. Houses along some holes but set back sufficiently.

Traps were all raked and cleaned ready for play.

Greens are large but not as large as RS but they have undulations and hitting the right spot for were the pin is is crucial. They chipped and putted great the whole round. With decent speed maybe 9/10.

Great customer service from all employees I encountered.

I love the variety of courses available within about a 30 mile radius here in N CA. And no traffic jams to deal with getting to them. Go further out and even more courses become available.

Going to head N this summer and play as many Sierra courses as possible as the traveling distances are really within range.

To all GK players have a great summer.

Late afternoon tee time this past Friday at Rio Hondo and just can't talk about anything else up front over the POP disaster. I was shocked to look at my phone and see a 3+ hour front nine before grabbing a dog at the turn.

Fortunately the layout on the back nine works a little better in that regard so we finished at right under six hours. Awful. Painful. Aggravating. Is it time to consider some kind of layout change to avoid these messes? Stagger tee times more? I'm not sure, but it's not sustainable.

Okay, rant over. Course conditions are pretty good and the greens are fully recovered from the latest punch. They were rolling nicely and with consistent speeds, but too many people still not fixing their ball marks. How is this still an issue in 2026? Surely all the new Covid golfers have now gotten to the point where they understand this, right?

Fairways were a little thin and dried out but playable, while the rough was in good shape. Bunkers had enough sand in them to be functional, not enough to be enjoyable. Tee boxes were a hodge-podge of good and bad coverage, but they were all level and workable.

But for the love of God - please fix the POP issue.

Course is in very nice shoulder season condition. Played many rounds on Mountain recently with the Canyon greens the last to be punched. Greens back to medium fast and smooth. Firm again. Almost borderline unreasonably fast going downhill. So course management is a must. You just can not get above certain pins or 3, even 4 putts is likely. Had my first one of the season recently, gotta love those 5's on par 3's where you had a long birdie putt to start with. Bermuda lush on the tee's/fairways. Rough patchy hit/mniss, mowed low. Mowed low around the greens, you can definitely use putter from well off many greenw currently. Which when going over large mounds to a firm, quick green is frequently a safer play IMO. Nice range, carts, GPS. Good restaurant onsite. Highly recommended.

Played Canyon for the first time this month yesterday. Greens were punched/sanded about 2 weeks ago. Surprised they are still not close to being really firm/smooth again yet. Medium speed and bumpy compared to normal here. Fairways/Tees very nice with the Bermuda out in full force with warmer temps. Greenside traps really nice, fairway traps thinner and more hard packed. Fringes mowed down, which is not a good thing on the many holes with false fronts or drop offs from on or coming across greens. But do provide more bump run opportunities when short sided from just off many greens. Rough patchy hit/miss, mowed low. Range, carts, GPS excellent. Restaurant/men's lounge provides decent food in a friendly atmosphere. Recommended.

Played yesterday, Sunday, 7am time. Walked the white tees, $50 civilian walk rate. Decent value for weekend golf. POP 4.5hrs, waited a little bit on most all shots. Busy course.

Conditions were just average overall. Many bare spots in the fairways but most proper landing areas are in fairly good condition. Played those bare areas as GUR for the most part, especially on number 9, fairway is really poor, but they're working on it.

Greens are still showing some signs of aeration. They did hold well struck shots very well, but were fairly bumpy. Medium to fast speed. No huge complaints, just not quite as nice as they should be.

Teeboxes were mostly level with adequate coverage. They're not perfect, but no huge complaints.

Bunkers were nice, decent fluffy heavy sand. I found two greenside bunkers and didn't have any issues.

There's really not much rough here off the fairways. Around the greens it's a little more prevalent and juicy, but not much of an issue finding your ball and hitting a nice chip shot.

Customer service is adequate, no frills. No beverage cart but not a big deal I bring my own large sippy cup with a beverage. Snack bar at the turn but I didn't use it.

We wanted to have lunch afterwards in their awesome restaurant bar area, but they are having such a bad sewage/plumbing problem, the entire clubhouse stinks sooooo bad. I completely lost my appetite the second I stepped into the clubhouse. The proshop stinks even worse!!!! I don't know how those guys in the proshop can put up with it. It's been like that for over a month, hope they get it fixed.

Easy recommend. I enjoy the South course here. It's a very easy walkable course, price is acceptable and I really like the layout. Some beautiful holes on the South, for sure.

RIP to the 2 significant trees on #7 and #8 that were cut down this week on Harding. The loss of the trees greatly impacts the quality and playability of the holes. The tree on #7 par 5 grew next to the lake, whose overhanging branches guarded long approaches hoping to reach the green in 2. Especially from the right half of the fairway.
The tree on #8 affected the high draw drives that were called for to hit the longest drives. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve flushed a drive that was pulled a smudge and was eaten up by that tree…argh!! (Good times).
Otherwise, the course has almost fully recovered from its aeration a couple months ago. Greens rolled true at a faster than normal speed. Fairways were full with not much rough. Several bunkers were on the this side but they are easy to get out of. I’ve always favored Harding over Wilson but combined with the loss of the giant tree on #16 last year, may have changed2 2 it too much visually and made its playability too easy.
I may be over reacting because we still had a fun round. Ha!

Played Mountain Meadows this morning teeing off at 7:50 with my tennis friends and it was a beautiful day. Pace of play was about 4hours 15 minutes so not to bad, didn’t have to wait too much to hit a shot. The course was in nice condition , fairways were in really good shape. Greens held shots well and they were not overly quick. I didn’t see very many unfixed ball marks which is a great thing. I was in one sand trap on the first hole and sand was fine, as for the rest I didn’t notice. I did see a great deal of walkers today but that didn’t detract from the pace of play so overall it was a good day to play. I definitely would recommend it.

Played BCC twice this week, riding solo Wednesday am from the black tees and walking this morning from the blues with a mother and (middle age) son. Pace of play was good on Wednesday where I was sent off the 10th tee to avoid the pot game starting on the front nine. Today not so much when the course was more crowded.

The course is in beautiful shape. Gorgeous green fairways and lush rough. Sure, there are some less watered areas in both, but generally lush conditions. The rough is cut down but still sticky and punitive. The greens are very nice. I have seen them faster but not by much. I’m told the aeration on Monday and Tuesday is small tine. The greens are firmer than usual so it may help with that. Biggest negative about the conditions are the sand traps. I switched to a lob wedge out of them because of the thin sand layer.

Well worth playing if in the area.

Walked 18 this AM for my usual Friday round.

Great course for $18 if you are a Sr.

Course was in good shape.

Tee boxes fine. Fairways clean and playable. Rough cut down. Traps playable.

Greens were nice and clean and chipped/putted good all round. Not big greens very little undulations but many elevation changes on some not all.

Nice little driving range. Good eats and snacks in the small grill.

Recommended if you are in the area and want an inexpensive and quick round.

Played a nice twilight round yesterday here.

Unlike S CA where afternoons are taken up by HS or slow players that is not the case here.

Always easy to obtain a twilight time and with cart its $20 or $10 to walk for Sr or veterans.

They keep the course in great shape and even found the rough cut down today which was in the past IMO to high.

Tee boxes clean level and playable.

Fairways are wide and lush with good lies and roll out on all holes.

They have even gone in a cleaned up the bunkers making them much more playable. Very few fairway bunkers but many around all the greens.

Greens were good, playable and had decent speed. They are not overly large nor filled with undulations but some do have some elevation changes in them.

Great customer service from all encountered.

Had a great BLT and 2 beers after the round. $13.50 total and no tax.
