played on a saturday morning which i don't usually do. nice to be out early, but it was 7am and we teed off 15 minutes late as the 1st was backed up. not much in terms of general covid precautions, just a face mask warning near the clubhouse, no separate carts offered.

i generally like the layout here, some pretty interesting holes. course was in pretty decent condition, tee boxes from the blues had a few uneven and patchy spots but generally all right. fairways were a mix of brown and green, soft and forgiving with a few areas of ground under repair but coverage was decent. rough was a mish mash, some areas with very patchy grass. looks like they are bringing in brand new sand, workers were hauling it in by the truckload and fairway and greenside bunkers were full of bright and very heavy sand. need a good swing to get it out. greens were in good condition, receptive and ran well. POP was about 4:15. pretty good day out.

7/20 using clicket voucher $40 on a warmish morning with an unlucky draw following a very slow 4some for a POP of 445. Staff came by when we were on 17 and said he told them to pick up the pace, apparently the groups behind us had called the pro shop--if we knew that was an option we would have called in on #6.
This is a winding layout with good variety and some elevation changes, seems remote even with some houses along the course. Fairways have some very good areas with healthy growth and good lies. Some other areas are quite thin with some patches of dirt showing through. Many areas in front of greens are very damaged and at some point will need to be re-sodded. Rough is mostly a non-entity,short, dry except for a few areas closer to the greens where it had gotten more water.
Tees are a mix of thin to ok and some markers were placed near the front of the boxes to be on a slight down slope. Par 3s were a bit worn.
Greenside bunkers have deep thick sand which is well maintained. Course is renovating fairway bunkers and have laid the bottom liner--a kind of poly fiber vs plastic. Currently these bunkers play as GUR.
Greens are fairly quick but hold well struck approach shots. Some are on the thin side and a couple have some scrapes along the perimeter and many have unrepaired pitch marks and evidence of old marks in various stages of recovery.
Friendly staff, driving range with quality mats and new balls. Practice green mirrors course conditions.

I played today with Ed, Christal and Greg (Caligolfer1031). We had a tee time of 8:56 a.m. I had booked on GN but they very kindly gave me their senior rate which saved a few dollars.

Conditions were pretty much the same as described by sr129. The fairways were more brown than green.. Overall, they were cut very short but I happily found many plusher lies that really helped me hit my woods more successfully. The tee boxes were a little shaggy but level with minimal damage. The greens were soft, held shots well, but were slowish and a bit bumpy.

Many of the fairway bunkers are being renovated. The ones in process had some kind of sand colored cover over them. There were drop areas next to them. The completed bunkers had deep, white sparkly sand. I did get to hit out of two of those. The other bunker I was in wasn’t nearly so pleasant. It was the one in front of the green on #4. It was filled with pebbly dirt and a swarm of bees! Luckily, I hit a really good shot and got out of there fast!

All of the water features were full which I haven’t seen in a while. The one by the #16 green has been enlarged and now extends all the way behind the green and around the side of the building. There are several fountains shooting into the lake. It was very well done.

The beverage cart came by several times. POP was good at 4 hours. Always a fun course to play.

Played here 7/9 The course is in the process of putting new liners and sand in the bunkers. The finished ones have nice white sand that are good to hit from. You still have no rakes but once you move your ball away from footprints its fine.
The tee boxes are in need of reworking. Most are fairly level but most are very thin and really beat up with lots of divot damage.
The fairways are cut short and are showing some dry areas which made for lots of roll but some tight lies.The rough is only about one inch and not much of a problem.
The greens are in very good condition and had very few pitchmarks. They held shots and were running at medium speed.
We were a threesome and played in 3:45 with no one pushing us. The staff is friendly and got us out right on time. No cart but the grill is open for takeout only so you could grab something at the turn.

Not sure what Weber was saying about the trees on #6, same as they have always been. None have been removed. Greens were quick and cut around the green was real nice. Fairways getting a lot of roll bu... Continue »

First off at 6am on what was supposed to be a very windy morning, but luckily the winds never arrived. We finished just prior to 8:30am, and it appeared the winds were on their way. Thanks to the shop/starter for getting us out first and right on time.

Course was in overall nice condition. Greens were receptive and rolled well. Good coverage on the fairways. The only issue I had was that the greenside bunkers were all soaked. They might be better later in the day, but for us, way too mushy.

It's been a while since I played here, and noticed immediately the trees which were removed on hole #6. While I generally hate any time they remove trees, I think in this instance it makes it a better hole. Much more fair ! Glen Ivy is a fun track to play, with some interesting holes. Always so much fun to finish with such a spectacular hole.

Played 5/28 with a 7:12 tee time and got out about 10 minutes early. Was paired with a twosome of nice guys. Most tee boxes had good coverage and mostly level. One par three was very thin where they had the white tees but they could have been moved a little to better area. Most of the fairways are really nice. A couple had some brown/dry ares but still played well. Good roll out and great to hit from. The rough was a mixed bag. Thick in some areas and very thin in others. the bunkers are what you would expect now without rakes. Some were nice and some had lots of footprints. The greens were very nice and held shots well. They rolled at medium speed and had very few unrepaired ball marks. They have been rebuilding all of the lakes around the course and hole nine is the last one. They were laying a new liner and we were told that water will be going in by this Friday. The grill is now open but I didn’t go in. I have always enjoyed this track and the condition keeps getting better all the time.

Went off at 6:48 this morning. Haven’t played here in years, but very pleasant experience. Very friendly staff seem to have the Covid-19 system down, unlike Rancho California. That course is in shabby condition except for the greens. But, getting back to Glen Ivy, the course is in darn good shape. Tee boxes are nice. The fairways are plush. More dirt than sand in the traps but decent. The greens are moderately fast and very true. We played in just over 4 hours. It could have been faster, but caught up to a foursome that had no business playing from the blue tees. They didn’t seem to have very good cart management either. All in all, great to get out and play under circumstances.

Played 5/5 using Clicket voucher. Course is looking after us golfers as the 4/30 expiration date has been extended to 5/31. Smooth check in, single rider cart and Covid protections in place. Course is in good shape. Fairways are firm for extra roll but have good coverage to provide a little cushion and nice lies. Rough was cut down for the most part but still impeded forward progress but was playable for extraction. Tees level and mowed. Bunkers were mixed some being hard pack and thin while some had adequate sand. None were recently groomed and of course no rakes.
Greens are very healthy, recently verti-cut rolling smoothly at a medium speed with a little grain influencing putts as they lost speed around the cup. Big greens with tiers, undulations and room for some very challenging pin placements.
POP just under 4 1/2. Customer friendly staff. Setting and course design make for an enjoyable and challenging outing.
