What is going on, played Morongo (Champions) today with a 10:20 tee time, went up to starter at 10:00 and he said you want to go out as a single no one is on the tee sheet till 10:20 (me and 3 others) and there is no one off in the last 20 minutes. Course is getting ready for Women's EPSON TOUR in 2 weeks so course is in good condition (working on sand traps all over the place) Tee boxes are moved around a bit, getting some ready for the ladies I guess, greens were very hard and fairly fast but ball rolled very true. Had a very fast round which I was not used to at Tukwet Canyon and even pared the 11th hole which, for me, is about the hardest par 5 I play in the inland empire.

Conditions are quite good! Greens are really nice, rolling smooth, medium fast, and very accepting of full shots. I found some unfixed ball marks but otherwise they're in really nice shape. Fairways are also nice, with good coverage of lush green grass providing a good cushion under the ball. There are some divots and spots here and there you'll hope to avoid, but for the most part, fairways are good. The rough is also quite lush but not very penal, around 3 inches deep. Blue tee boxes are probably the low point, especially the par 3s which have tons of divots. I wasn't in any bunkers but they looked pretty good, although there seemed to be lots of pebbles/clumps in them. Overall, the course didn't really show any issues from all the recent rains.

I didn't hear the full story, but apparently the Legends course did sustain damage from the storm and only has six holes open right now as a result.

Lets start with the good. The course is very lush. Fairways and rough are nice. The greens and tee boxes are decent. Now the bad. The bunkers...what a farce. They are hard with rocks and high lips. They should either put sand in them, redo them or, get rid of many of them. The course is too hard for the average player. The elimination of many of these eyesores would help speed up play which leads into another bad, slow play. I played on a weekday and the round took 5 hours and 15 minutes!!! The people who run this place close one course Monday through Thursday. Big mistake! The 18 that is open becomes way too crowded contributing to such slow play. There is no way I will ever make this drive again to play at a snails pace waiting on every tee box and fairway.

It's been a year since our club was last here.
Course has improved conditions except for excess water
in some areas. Mud balls were not welcomed. Greens held
and ran medium speed. Some holes did not warn of "cart
path only" but shut off carts randomly. Very frustrating!
Bar & grill operated as advertised (limited hours on a Saturday).
Last groups of our club were not able to receive food/beverage.
Outside staff are great, except for onsite marshall who was unaware
(ignorant) of holes with cart path only.

Traps are in terrible condition. Packed sand and lots of weeds. Also TONS of gopher holes all over the course. Especially around the traps.

Played 1-19-22. A beautiful day for golf. Sunshine, light breeze and comfy temps. For some reason the Legends course is closed during the week and as a result had to play the Champions course. I enjoy the front 9 but find the back nine too quirky for my taste. The course is in real nice shape. No brown spots, receptive greens and the bunkers played very well. Often I have found the bunkers on these courses to be more like concrete than sand but not today. Although it is not soft fluffy sand it was a nice consistency. Tee boxes were a little chewed up but not terrible. Fairways were lush with little roll out and the rough varied from 2 inches to 4 on some holes. Definitely some of the nicest conditions I have played in a while.

Sorry it's been awhile since I have posted a review. Hard to get out when you have twin 9 month old babies. Anyways my score definitely showed here...... First time out in 2 months and shot my worst score in 3 years 108! Yikes! Now to the conditions.... I do have an excuse because the rough on this course is THE HARDEST I HAVE EVER PLAYED. I couldn't get out of it no matter what! Ball would be buried. I felt like I was playing Bethpage black with the length of it.

Greens- 10/10 great and rolled true!
Rough- 1/10 - Too long ! beyond penalizing. A 2 Iron couldnt even cut threw it. 3-4 inches in length!
Fairways- 8/10 trim and good coverage a few bare spots
tee boxes- 5/10 - hit and miss some were great and some were not
sand- 8/10- hole #3 had rocks in it but most were ok.
water- clean and clear
Pace of play was good- 4.5 hours despite me crapping all over the course
staff was friendly and kind saw the cart girl twice.

If you're in the fairway its a fair course. Note- If you're not, there's no way you are saving par! This is coming from a 16 handicap! =)

Played 4-3-21. Course is in great shape for the most part. Greens ran true with good speed. Some were quite marked up with ball marks. A few looked like the surface of the moon. The Legends course was closed so everyone was on Champions so it was backed up a bit. Had a 2:30 tee time and got out pretty much on time. At the 8th tee the cart girl suggested we play the front 9 again if we wanted to finish in a reasonable time so we did. The rough was deep in places and barely there in others but on the negative there were spots where it was very clumpy and your ball could settle in between and become almost unplayable. Biggest disappointment was the sand. It was 1 step above concrete. Forget everything you have ever learned about bunker play. Overall it was still a fun day of golf and I hope to get back out there a few times this year!

Played this morning in the SCGA Amat Net Qualifier...last flight 9:30am hole 10. Paired with real gentlemen, Darin, Mo, and Edwin. They represent thier clubs well.
We had winds really come up starting about hole 12, had to really plan the shots due to it. TuKwet's bar is still closed and no food, but the drink cart came around about twice on each 9. The range is open and in much greener shape than previous reports. The practice greens were both open and matched the champions green conditions.
Tee boxes were in fair shape, many divots and most were pretty firm. No problem finding a spot to hit from, but, I could have easily used a half a sand bottle on each box.
Fairways, liked them. They are in a good balance right now, on thier way to lush, with some winter roll-out still there, yet they will now start eating some of the ball energy on the first bounce. Good coverage right to the edge of rough and bunkers.
Rough, thick and rich like a shake, not a DQ Blizzard, just a regular shake. About 2 inches thick and will be factor in your recovery shots from it. Right now, the blades of rough are still thinner and not as lush.
Bunkers, have sand, are void of rocks and there are rakes. However, the sand is darker, slightly reddish and gets dense quickly. About a half inch on top will give easily, below that it goes dense pretty quickly. It seems to hold moisture all day too.
Areas around greens were/are similar to the rough, just a smidge shorter. All my weapons are sharp and with little bounce, so I had little issue going after a pitch or a flop. Because we had a tournment, any areas aroung the greens that were still trying to emerge, or had some kind of old guy bald spots(not many)...they were marked within white lines for relief.
Greens, these were pretty good, slightly firm under the feet and not many ball marks occurring. Uniform speeds and breaks, to me, these were running med-fast. The mid-roll breaks were pretty easy to read and execute. The final slower trailing breaks were tougher, but if you had reads without breaks...they would still roll true.

No foam in cups, rakes in bunkers, gps on carts(good, my LRF battery began to die on the last 3 holes) that is pretty acurate. Bathrooms open and all clean. Customer service quick and thorough.

A shout out to the SCGA staff for being engaging, patient, guiding and human. BTW, my cart partner Darin, got an eagle on hole 4, and then followed that up by driving the green on hole 5 for a birdie look. He also qualified highest in his flight and will compete in the actual tournament at La Costa...congrats!!
