Both of us had a great day from 10:00, Monday Oct 15.
Again, friendly staff, great prac-fac, and TWO superb designs, make returning to Morongo an easy decision.
On Champs course, back nine, abundant fairway maintenance occurring, with some targeted coring, aeration, and re-sodding, after overseeding. The rough was thick and lush, up to 3 inches, and we lost a couple of balls in it.
Greens were verticut yesterday; sanded today, but still soft and mostly smooth. Should be fully ready by end October.
Some tees were also being worked on.
Really, worth a look.

Lots to love here at Morongo. Teed off around 0900, just 2 of us, between fours. Still finished in under 4 hours (quiet day). Entire course in very good condition; what a layout-LOTS of fun. Nice staff, good prac-fac, well equipped clubhouse with TWO courses make the returns an easy decision.
Only a couple of tees (blue) not totally level, healing from divots. All fairways lush and fairly quick. Rough of varying lengths, so don't miss by much; all was lush. Green-side sand is very good; fairway bunkers have thin sand with pebbles. Greens speed medium to fast, mostly smooth, holding extremely well and impressively designed. Rough around all greens lush and nicely manicured. Sufficient rest stops and water stations. Only saw a drinks cart once.

Played: Monday July 9th
Tee Time: 1115 am
Group: 3 Ball
Pace: 4 hours
Tees: BLUE

Like to thank Shebylo & Shazza for joining me for a relaxing round on a challenging golf course, felt we played the appropriate tees (BLUE). I told Shebylo that the CHAMPIONS course will have a little more bite to it than the other layout (Legends) which they played a short time ago.

As promised, I decided to make the long drive to see how the upgrades and improvements to the bunkers would look like. A few months ago, the bunkers were in AWFUL condition and this was at the time qualifying was taken place for a few PGA tour sponsored events. The bunkers were so bad, a "discussion" was created and it prompted a response from the Superintendent!

I am applauding @Green2t and his entire staff for a job well done!!! (Read my post under) " Magnificent Improvement" posted on July 10th.

This layout will be holding a Mini-Pro event the week of July 15th, it's a 4 day event. Might be tough getting a tee time, highly recommend playing a twi-light round to take advantage of some very good conditions.

BUNKERS: WOW!!! totally a night & day transformation has taken place and it goes beyond just ADDING sand to the bunkers. The staff took their time, promised it would happen but we as GKer's needed to be patient through the process. A date was posted, I'm here to tell you THE STAFF GOT IT RIGHT! perfect sand conditions, no guesswork needed. KUDOS...

Greens: I believe the staff spend some time doing Poa Annua reduction treatments to the surfaces. The day we played, greens were slower than I know what they are capable of being. Soft conditions, we tried to fix the ball marks that we saw left behind "lazy" players. Be patient, the greens on the LEGENDS course were attended to first I believe. I thought I read a top dressing was put down some time ago?

Most approach shots held the greens for the most part, I was using a 3 piece ball which helps. Lots of undulations, can have some really tough hole locations, local knowledge helps where you need to place your approach shots. Don't get me wrong, birdies are available.

Fairways: Most of the course was in good condition, no real complaints for this time of the year. Very playable lies just some areas were a little dry and some were wet in the fairway. Btw, the fairways are wider than they look on some holes.

Tee boxes: Not looking too bad, I consider average wearing with maybe a few uneven levels...just move one club length back.

LAYOUT: What a fun, challenging, deceptive layout!

EX: Hole #13: IF you look at the actual layout link here:
http://www.tukwetcanyon.com/images/championsHole13.jpg
Makes you think you have to play it to the left side of the fairway just past the fairway bunker. From there your approach shot is semi-blind because your blocked by the reeds and cannot see the elevated green. YOU actually can play a draw up the right side (wind is from the right) and land on the other side of the hazard short of the bunkers.

Each hole is unique, not one hole looks like any other on this layout even the par 3's are different. What a great 18th finishing hole! RISK/REWARD, water is in play on the tee shot yet it doesn't look like it.

Practice Range: ALL grass locations, excellent chipping area with a practice bunker too.
VERY large putting green which is just like what you'll see on the course.

Clubhouse & Staff: Friendly, cart person came around close to 5 times...must have been not as crowded on the course. VERY nice clubhouse which overlooks #18 green. I highly recommend having a GK PLAY day if possible since there are TWO 18 hole layouts.

What a layout!!!! Having played Legends 2 weeks ago, this was out first go at Champions; NOT the last indeed. July 9, 2012, 3 ball, 1100 tee time.
Thanks to addictedtugolf for showing Shazza and myself the course.
In one word, spectacular.
I enjoyed the flow of the course design. Only a couple of holes that allow you to 'catch your breath'. But we found ourselves anxious to see the next tee shot, the next approach shot, what the greens complex looks like. A LOT of fun.
Tees: blue- fair-good; some unevenness from many divots.
Fairways: good; some lush areas, some dry areas.
Rough: good-great; depending whether it is fairway or green side.
Sand: great
Greens: good; incredible designs, lots of ball marks (not after we finished), a little bumpy with medium speed and holding ok.
Drinks cart came by 4 times. Very nice staff throughout; open for breakfast 0700!!

Played here 7/1. Overall the course is in much better shape once Morongo took over from the SCGA. Both courses are really nice, if you are willing to make the drive you could get some decent rates here. Challenging due to the desert conditions and having to stay in the fairways but fair. Highly recommended.

Played as a threesome on Memorial Day 5/28 at 8am. Was lucky enough to get out before the masses. Pace of play was spectacular and we finished in under 4 hours. The course was in great condition.
Tee box: For the most part, nice and level. Some of the par 3 had tons of divots. Overall good.
Fairways: Had a tad more divots than 2 wks ago. Still in great condition though.
Rough: Great condition and didn't eat the ball up.
Greens: For the most part smooth. A few unrepaired divot marks here and there. The speed was average. Ball had a tough time sticking to the greens.
Sands: Great condition.

Overall a great day of golf.

I just had the pleasure of playing Front 9 of Champions and Front 9 of Legends on 5/16 as a twosome. First, I would like to definitely give props to management for bringing this golf course to where it is today. I played about 1 year ago, when the new management was in its early stages...and the courses were horrible. Weeds throughout, bunkers sucked, and the greens were compromised. It has definitely come a long ways. To preface, we started out on Champions course, but the back 9 looked back kind of backed up (it wasn't that bad but we were impatient) so we jumped on Legends front 9. Champions was in a lot better shape (bunkers have fresh new sand), but overall, the course was great. Twilight for around $30 can not be beat.
Service: I did see a cart boy out in the parking lot, but I ended up carrying my own bags. Everyone seemed friendly enough. My only gripe would be that they use to offer free range balls with your round, now you have to buy it. However, their practice facilities are really nice. Grass range with lots of flag pins. Big chipping area. And two large putting greens.
Tee box: Mostly nice and level.
Fairway: Best shape in a long time. Champions course was a tad nicer and lusher...still some brown spots here and there, but not bad at all
Rough: maybe 2.5 to 3 inches, and mostly uniform
Greens: supposedly aerated about 4-6 weeks ago. Legends was first, but got sanded today. Still rolling well and not terribly bumpy at all. Champions was in a tad better shape.
Bunkers: Champions got fresh sand in most of their bunkers and it was nice to hit out of. I was in 1 bunker on Legends and it was rock hard. Per Maintenance workers, they will be addressing Legends' bunkers soon.

All in all, a great round and value. Will definitely come back and reintroduce it into my rotation (Oak Quarry, Oak Valley, and Soboba)...

Practice Rnd 3/31/12: Pace for 18 holes was 3 hours

Qualifying Rnd 4/2/12: Pace for the first 9 holes was 3 1/4 hours! Our back 9 holes pace was just under 2 1/2 hours. TWO many rulings from the players in front of us which all started on HOLE #2 and continued slow play throughout the entire round!

I plan to play this course very soon since it's NOT a tournament round.

Current conditions of the bunkers? Can I even call them a "condition"?
PAPER THIN, NO $AND @ all! A person would think your holding a PGA tour sanctioned QUALIFYING event on the CHAMPIONS layout, something would have been done to @ least improve the conditions of the bunkers!

Greens: It's like POA Annua has gone crazy! It's all you will see...Putts very slow going back uphill, slower than you would think, slower than normal. Downhill putts are faster but NOT as fast..overall speed of the greens were SLOW to medium. Very undulating contours, the SCPGA could put the hole locations anywhere and still have tough breaking putts.

Practice facility: Very nice area to practice chipping/pitching, BUNKERS are just like the course PAPER THIN. :( Practice range are grass turf, no mats. TWO large putting greens as well with undulating contours similar to the greens out on the course you'll face.

Clubhouse: Super Nice! Very Spacious and overlooks the 18th green & 10th tee box on the Champions layout.

Pro Shop: Wasn't overly impressed with the staff behind the counter checking in players etc...The girls need to improve cust svc skills in my opinion. Cart barn staff very helpful...

Course? Very nice layout with some elevation changes. Plenty of RISK/reward holes IF you have the firepower to go for it in two including the PAR 4's. Overall course is challenging, multiple tees available but playable for all skill levels.

Fairways: very good conditions right now, you won't be disappointed!

My ONLY major gripe are the CONDITION'$ or LACK of $AND in the bunker$!!!! I'd rather take an unplayable lie vs trying to play from paper thin texture...Better bring an "ALL TERRAIN" wedge IF you decide to play from the bunkers....

Btw, a current #1 Rolex player use to practice and play out of this golf club.
