Played Friday (8/4) AM. Started on the back nine as there was some trees being removed on the front. Good grass driving range and large practice green. Greens: Medium to fast speed, holding but lots of old ball marks that were left behind by a private outing (of inconsiderate golfers) earlier in the week. Fairways: generally in good condition but there are still many bare spots in the fairways. Rough: 1-3" high with many bare spots. Traps: good condition. POP: 4 1/2 hours.

Played in a San Diego Senior match on Friday AM. Gary00 was right on with his review on 6/19. The only thing I have to add is that the maintenance supervisor must have read your review as the traps were in very good condition, best I've seen them in quite a while. Might be for a Juniors event next week. Glad to see the improvements.

6/19 using GSC $79 2some-- with range balls-- from the blues on a warmish but pleasant am under 4 POP with a little waiting on the back 9 Fairways are still green with good cover--mostly firm for extra roll but still nice cushion providing good lies. Rough is mostly lush not long but thick enough to quickly stop the ball and in the thickest areas quite challenging to escape.
Tees level with good cover.
Bunkers were the weakest part of the course due to their inconsistency about half were groomed and dry the rest needed a good churn and a couple were quite damp and appeared not to have been groomed as the sand was flat where the water pooled. Sand quality was good just needed more attention.
Greens are in good shape smooth medium fast(a little slower than the practice green) but pretty consistent through the round--back 9 greens seem to have more slope and speed.
Drink cart came around twice. Grass driving range with fairway like conditions. Large practice green with separate chipping area and a bunker where I should have spent more practice time.
Friendly staff easy check in and helpful attentive starter.
Par 5s are on the short side but require accuracy--the 4s have good variety in shape and length--the 3s seem to be rather similar about the same distances and look. Still a good layout set in natural surroundings except for 10-13 overlooking the freeway--A good quality course and with the promotions a really good value for anything under $40.

Teed off early AM Monday (5/22), not too busy. Played here last in early April. Good grass driving range. Greens: almost full "healed", medium speed and holding. Fairways: filling in nicely, in better condition than in April. New T box on #3, constructed with the sand/dirt from the Spring storms, nice addition. Rough: vary from 1" to 3", ball tends to sit down making a shot from the rough quite challenging. Traps: were not raked, played firm. POP: at 4 hours. Check around as there are some good deals out there!

The course is in fairly good shape with right now and very busy this Sunday. We completed our round in a little over four hours being one of the first few groups off. The tee boxes are all in good shape with a couple of the short holes in need of some aeration - the ground being so hard that a tee could not be placed in the turf. The fairways have very good coverage but an abundance of kikuyu grass - the stuff seems to be taking over on many golf courses lately. The rough was thick and longer than usual, add the kikuyu and shots from the rough are VERY difficult. The kikuyu is not dense enough in many areas and the ball will sit down just enough to make getting your club on it very frustrating. The traps looked like they were in good shape with visible work going on. There are still a few trees down on the course that need to be removed. The greens were in nice shape and rolled well. The break on many greens here is very deceiving if you've not played the course before. The staff is always friendly and it's nice to see the same faces year after year. The course has some good specials and is usually quite busy. The location makes for a quick round if it's not too busy.

3/27 for GK cup match with Itslikeimsayin an enjoyable golf partner and a tough no quit player who generously shared his GK winnings to use a golf moose voucher for the outstanding net rate of $22 on a coolish and somewhat breezy am--1030 start with 415 POP being paired with visitor and member nice enough guys and decent golfers but seemed in a hurry and often were hitting out of turn and not aware of what was going on with the rest of the group. Overall course is in good shape--most fairways have good cover and good cushion with 8 and 9 being the exception as there are at least 4 different varieties of grass some of which is in clumpy tufts leaving awkward lies. Some thin and bare areas marked GUR. Rough on front 9 quite thick and wirery quickly stopping the ball and being fairly penal. Back 9 less thick rough a little more whispy and easier to hit from. Patches of deeper longer rough around the greens with an especially nasty juicy patch to the left front of #7. Wide of the rough beyond the cart path you are likely to find hard pan. Tees lush and level. Bunkers have deep heavy sand that looks to be frequently groomed but is of the consistency that is difficult to properly rake as just giving it the once over leaves mounds and ridges--found 1 trap with aforesaid mound and 1 with a groomed area just missing the foot prints of at least 4 inconsiderate hackers. Both fairway bunkers I found #10 while playing 18 and #1 in sudden death had a more compacted base. Greens smooth rolled medium fast with a fair amount of slope but not a lot of undulations. In my view the front 9s are flatter and the back are carved into the hill sides where you definitely do not want to be above the hole or carry too much speed even across the green as putts extend their roll out past the hole. Staff members are friendly and easy going- Special thanks to the 3 some on #1 who let us jump in to finish our match. Grass driving range and putting green that represents the speed on the course. There are usually voucher deals for about $70 a 2 some which is a very good value for the quality of this course or check out some of the stay and play packages.

Played a GK Cup match out here today with gary00. 10:30 tee time using a GolfMoose voucher. I used my $25 GolfMoose prize from the Rams Hill GK Plays toward the voucher, so we got an excellent deal. Course was pretty busy and we started about 10 minutes late. We waited on most holes but POP wasn't bad overall. Big gusts of wind at times under intermittently sunny/cloudy skies.

The course looks great right now and plays pretty good, too. The greens are the highlight, fast and smooth. They accept full shots well but shorter shots really need some spin to stop quickly. They are pretty glassy and you need to be careful on downhillers. Fairways have good coverage but lack uniformity. They are a bit thin in spots and sort of patchy with different types of grass growing throughout. The rough also has good coverage and different types of grass, some of which is pretty deep and penal. I wasn't in a bunker but Gary said some he was in could've used more attention/better raking. Tee boxes were very good to great.

I've always enjoyed this course, and the rains seem to have greened up this whole community and it looks very nice. Recommended.

This is a follow up to my review from 3 weeks ago. Played here Friday AM, very cool the first hour but warmed up to the hi 70's by the time we finished. POP was at 4 hours. Work continues to recover from the rain/flooding damage. Much better than a few weeks ago! Fairways: OK to drive on fairways today, very few wet spots, recently mowed. Still playing L,C and P thru the green. Rough: also mowed recently, some bare spots. Greens: smooth, firm and fast. Excellent condition! Traps: L, C and P, still needs more work. Nice driving range but was mats only today. Nice place for lunch after the round, great homemade soup!

Played here on Feb. 13th AM. This is a follow up to my review of a few weeks ago. The course is recovered nicely and I wanted to give the maintenance staff some credit for their hard work. Starting with the positive; downed trees removed, clogged drains, muddy areas cleaned up nicely. A major accomplishment! Greens: smooth, medium to fast speed and holding; best part of the course. Fairways: still need more improvement; good condition from the 100 yard marker into the greens. The balance of the fairways are very thin with clumps of grass and mud. You have a 50/50 chance of getting a very thin/dirt lie. Winter rules are in play. Rough: lots of bare spots. Traps: still unplayable. They are playing a free drop from the traps. No marshall to keep the pace of play moving. So progress has been made but still more work to do.
