Played it Thursday, April 28 - Weather overcast, I think it had rained the night before, 11:28 tee time, Got a special rate of $22 while the wife Gambled at the Casino, a mile down the road.

Driving range had good targets, but you needed a cart to get there. Got to the first tee, and was trying to determine were I wanted to play from. My only option was Black or Blue, I chose Black. The Tips and Gold were not up. They were also punching the greens so there was sand on them. Didn't really mind because it is a tough track, and for $22, go for it. The 9's were switched around since the last time I played there. Some great holes, and sand traps are positioned in some great places. The front nine was pretty cool,... water comes into play on 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 (The Signature Hole, Par 3), and 9. Front nine great layout! Back Nine, also has lots of traps, and 11 this big tree that covers the left side of the green. 13 is a tough little par 3 that plays uphill, and protected by deep traps in the front. Thursday it was playing 177, I played a 7 iron way left and thank God, because I was short and if I would have went for the flag I would have been deep in the sand. Water comes back into play on 14,15 which is a long long long Par 3 protected by sand on the front right, and water all the way up the right side,... stay left, but there is sand on the left also, take an extra club and be straight. 16 also has water, all the way to 250 out on the right, stay left of just be straight, slight dog left right with a palm tree in the sight of the green that can come into play. 17 straight par 4, but 18 is a dog leg right that is protected by sandtraps at its turns. If you can carry them you are looking at the green but once again water on the left and sand on the right. Great finishing hole. I finished the day with an 81.

The only negatives I have is a lot of Cotton Wood trees. Lots of white fur balls from the trees all over the course. Snack shop was closed, but that was probably due to work being done on the course. I can't wait to play it again. Worth the Drive! Especially if the wife wants to kill a few hours in the Casino!

Sixpez pretty much said it all. Course is in good condition, but looks a little better than it plays overall. The greens are smooth, mostly soft and medium speed. Fairways are mostly lush except on water holes, where coot damage has them thinner than the others. Rough is generally very lush throughout. I think I was in two bunkers; one was pretty compacted and the other – a fairway bunker – was very crispy on top, in need of a good raking. Tee boxes were good but also fell victim to the bird issues on water-adjacent holes.

I love this layout and it felt great to return to this fantastic course, especially at the price we paid and with generally really nice conditions. I created a Flickr photo album with 35 photos from today here: https://goo.gl/VKxg2a

Played here this afternoon with Itslikeimsayin. We got a GN hot deal for $22 at 12:32. It wasn't busy out, so the pro shop guy just told us to head to the tee when ready. There were some other twosomes that went out ahead of us and we had a single join us on the first tee. The front nine moved along nicely, but then the back nine really slowed down as groups got bunched together. All in all, though, it was right around 4 hours for the round on a beautiful breezy afternoon.

The course is in very nice shape right now, looking very lush from tee to green. The tee boxes were generally good. The fairways were very good for the most part. In general, I'd say they looked better from afar than up close. My impression was the closer you got to any of the many water hazards, the less lush the fairways were thanks to the birds. The rough was lush, but not too penal in most spots. Just enough to make you work sometimes. I was in four bunkers and some were better than others, but all generally good enough. We noticed they were putting in new sand on the par-3 4th hole, so I am not sure what other bunker maintenance is in the works. I think the sand density was fine, it just needed to be raked and fluffed up a bit. The greens on the course were a little slower and softer than the practice green(s), but still playing pretty well—rolling true at medium speeds.

Always a great course that brings back positive memories. I like a lot of the aesthetic and conditioning improvements they made when they did the renovation, but there are aspects of the old course/routing I still miss. No matter what, it's a great course that is generally kept in great shape, so it will always be worth the extra drive for me.

Made the drive out Saturday morning to play this course for the first time. Staff at check-in was very nice and welcoming. Grass driving range was a plus. Course Conditions - excellent. Great grass all around. I very much enjoyed playing the course itself. POP - not good...bad actually...5.25 hours. No marshall. Beverage cart came around plenty of times. Carts are basic, no gps or cooler.

Got out here for a 1150 tee time yesterday as a second part of a double header. Price is amazing at $37 and man this course is looking nice.

Staff- was wonder full as always. They were a bit hectic as there was a wedding or party going on in the restaurant but still mighty happy to help you.

Tee Boxes were very nice and level no signs of damage or bare spots.

Fairways were very green and a good shape except near the water hazards as the coots do their damage like everywhere in socal. Very easy to get a nice bounce and roll for extra yards on this course as it was cut short

Greens- Man this is my only issue of the day. The greens were different types of grass and a bit bumpy but noting you couldn't handle until it can to speed and then its like putting on concrete. They were also very firm and would not hold any kind of shot coming in unless you got it way up and coming straight down this was frustrating when chipping because unless you were amazing at chipping you had no shot of keeping it close. Plus the Greens keeper put the pins in tough locations so that didn't help much.

Rough was short and mostly grass as long as you were within the tree line. and very east to get out unlike morongo.

I love this course and the challenge and would play it more if it was not out in the middle of nowhere. still worth a trip every once in a while

What a pleasure it is, to play golf on a well maintained course!

Played on Saturday 1/30/16. They have a weekend senior rate of $40. Great deal!
The fairways here are green and lush! (not winter dormant brown). Tee boxes are level with good coverage, bunkers were in good shape with plenty of sand and the greens were smooth and very fast! I really like the layout here. Good tee shots are rewarded with good looks at the green. Bad tee shots are either wet or you're punching out back to the fairway. My buddy and I were joined by a single and we finished in just under 4 hrs. great POP. The range is grass and hitting area was green with good coverage also!
Soboba was a joy to play and I didn't even play well! It's a haul to get there for me but I'll be back! Definitely recommend.

I really enjoy this layout because you have to play your ball in multiple directions and at various distances if you want to keep it out of the water and sand traps.

The staff is typically very helpful and the amenities are very good.

Like many Southern California courses, brown is the new green, so it isn't pretty everywhere but if you keep your ball in play you should always have a decent lie.

The greens though are showing multiple varieties of grass. Many of the greens have a camouflage color pattern.

Played a two-day tournament here on the weekend of November 7 & 8th, 2015. Tee boxes were good with minimal divots (par 3s had more, naturally). Fairways are improving and must be filling in based on the most recent review (2 months ago) which stated that there were lots of bare spots. We found the fairways to be mostly good with some thin spots, but not bad at all. Greens were quite good but very soft and ball marks were deep, but fortunately players seemed to be repairing them for the most part. Green speed was medium-fast and there were some pretty scary hole locations on significant slopes! Bunkers were just fine with plenty of sand, although some of the less-used ones showed some grass growing in sections of them. Pace of play was poor (6 hours), but that was more a result of us playing a shotgun start with a lot of players. Clubhouse is gorgeous and the staff is very friendly. The facilities as a whole are very nice indeed. The range is a little bit far from the clubhouse so they shuttle you over there which works very well. The range is also very good with plenty of excellent grass lies, no mats here! Overall, a very enjoyable weekend!

Played here Sat. 9-5. Great rate of $37.00 (senior rate) for mid morning on a holiday weekend.
Got out right on time. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Most tee boxes where in good shape with the usually divots on the par 3's.
The fairways were terrible! Lots were weeds or patches of dirt and small tuffs of grass. We had lots of difficult lies. The bunkers were fine with ample sand.
The greens were very good. Held shots well,rolled at medium to fast speed and had very few ball marks.
Pace of play was good at 4:30 for a foursome.
I really enjoy this layout and am willing to make the hour drive to play here but with the condition of the fairways not sure I will be back until I hear that they have improved.
