Early morning round before the juniors got out. The tee boxes were a little fluffy and patchy. The bermuda fairways have started to go dormant throughout the entire course. The lies are still good with enough fluff to make good strokes. The traps were VERY consistent (in 10) on every hole, damp and somewhat hard, but very playable. The greens were great - they were however different in speed on many holes. Please people (fix your marks) take better care of the greens! The pace of play is always good if you are out early - we finished three and half hours.

Played late morning on a Thursday, 10/16. Greens were bumpy and still healing from aeration, but very playable, give another two weeks and greens should be in very good shape, I did not notice any disease problem, so that may be under control now. Great layout and friendly staff. Pace was very good, never waited and never pressed.

Reading some recent reviews, they are pretty spot on. Course has been in better shape, but it is still easily playable and I have to say, while fairways were browned out in a lot of areas and rough was lush but mildly inconsistent, I never had a bad lie all day. Just a product of a real hot summer and water restrictions. I do have to say, I really like the staff here. There's just an easy feeling to the place. Pro shop was great and the Marshall AWESOME. Friendly, jovial. Good guy. Teed off at a bit before 1. Great pace until we ran up on a slow twosome on 8 but then made the turn and no one was around. I mean NO ONE! Anywhere! So... The single that caught us joined and we rolled through the back like tornados. I think the round was actually about 3:15 even with 15 minutes of delay. Greens were smooth and rolled well, deceptively fast, however, as stated before some ball marks on a couple holes and some turf issues. Explanation for our playing partner is the wrong salt mixture was used on some greens and they got mold. It wasn't horrific, nor was it on every hole or even anywhere that affected us at all. Ball marks were from a tournament earlier in the day and honestly, that and the footprints will probably be fixed by morning. I made (and fixed!) some GIANT divots. Greens were soft and very receptive, so actually kudos to the staff for the greens not looking like a round at Summerly. Oh... Sand was pretty awful. Broken rakes, grasses, etc. all said, I would still go back next week. I like it here.

Played my birthday round of golf yesterday. When the BF called to make the tee time, the pro shop said that all birthday rounds needed to begin at 1pm. Guess that was fine, but there is nothing on their website or the birthday coupon that said birthday rounds needed to start at 1pm. It was HOT, but the good thing about playing later in the day is that it wasn't so humid. So this course definitely is going through summer conditions. The rough was actually much greener than the fairways. Tee boxes were thin, but nice and level. No divots in the fairways, not much green grass, but lots of dry, brown grass, but the ball rolled nicely down the fairways. Greens were nice, not much divot marks, a few holes had diseased greens, but the ball still rolled nicely. Bunkers were a mix: some had sand, some had really hard packed dirt, and quite a few were growing nurseries in them. Some of the rakes were broken and was interesting trying to rake myself out. Staff was friendly as always. Saw the Marshall a few times, he helped looked for the BF's ball, LOL!! Great pace of play in the afternoon in just under 3.5 hours. They do provide ice cold water just about every 4 holes. An ice chest is provided on the carts, but you need to ask for ice.

Played a quick afternoon round today 8/8/14 in about 3 1/2 hours. Nice!! The course conditions have slid a little lately compared to my previous round . A few greens were either stressed from weather conditions and/or diseased with dead or dry spots. Nearly every green was peppered with ball marks. The traps on most holes were lacking of sand and large on weeds and small palms sprouts. The fairways were just cut very short and numerous trees have been trimmed or removed. The new carts are nice. The rough and vegetation in the drainage areas has turned into a jungle. I have played the course since it was new years ago, just wish it could return to the form some day.

First time I played here in 4 years on Friday, Aug 8th at 8 AM and really enjoyed the round.

Greens: in good condition, smooth, firm with some bare spots, #16 is the worst green with 50% brown spots.

Fairways: excellent, not a bad lie all day.

Rough: quite punishing at 3-4" high.

Traps: worst part of the course, TERRIBLE, hardpan with grass growing in them.

POP: just over 4 hours.

Decent layout here. Played 5/17 for $49....NOT WORTH IT!! The fairways were in terrible shape with bare spots everywhere grass was splotchy. if you get a better deal and you just want to practice...th... Continue »

Decent layout here. Played 5/17 for $49....NOT WORTH IT!! The fairways were in terrible shape with bare spots everywhere grass was splotchy. if you get a better deal and you just want to practice...then maybe, but you can find better tracks in the Temecula than this.

Decided to take advantage of the aeration price special here. Aerated greens aren't ideal, but it's always nice when a course offers a significant deal during the recovery period. $25 for a Saturday morning round is hard to pass up no matter what. I had a 7:00 tee time and ended up going off first by myself, so finished quickly. Staff very friendly and nice, gave me the option to go by myself or wait for a threesome that had the same time. I'm ultimately glad I went alone because that same threesome was only on the 7th hole by the time I was leaving! The course was in decent overall shape. The greens were fine for being aerated a week ago. The only problematic ones were on the back nine when I got caught behind the guy doing the greens and his tractor was leaving little trails of tiny wet sand clumps across the green. The ones on the front nine were more cleaned up, though, and the price I paid more than made up for any aerations nuisances. The tee boxes were excellent. Fairways and rough seem to have multiple types of grasses growing in patches, so it looks a little splotchy visually, but plays mostly good. Fairways are cut tight, so I always had good lies. Rough mostly lush, though the ball always seemed to gravitate toward an awkward spot right between two different patches of grass! I was in a few bunkers and they were all good to play from. I think this is an underrated course overall and it's clear the new management has made some good strides. The only other time I played here was back when it was still Temeku Hills and this experience was better than that one. This course will never quite measure up to its tough competition in Temecula, but it's still a pretty fun Ted Robinson course that's usually reasonably priced.

Played Thursday 3/27, 10 AM start time, on less than a week old punched greens. Had a great time on professionally done, punched greens. What do I mean by professionally done? Punched holes were filled and almost all excess sand was absent. Result: greens were quicker and straighter than expected. Add to this, the $25 fee, and country club pace of 3 1/2 hours, with no one in front or behind, and you have an excellent golf experience.
The green on the 8th hole, seems to be improving from fungus, but still in poor shape.
Other than that, I recommend the course even during aeration.
