Played 4/25/25 10:30 am $99 POP 3:50. Course is trying to come out of winter and green aeration. Greens were maybe 50% back from punching with lots of sand & punches prevalent. Fairways ultra tight and thin. Starting to green, but many brown & bare patches mixed around. Good ball striking required. I was surprised at the turf conditions. I thought they would be further along in the regrowth. It appeared they were gearing up for some pre summer maintenance and preparation. I really enjoy this course but unfortunately not worth the rack rate at this time. Hopefully in the next month with warming temps the course will be back.

Played 3/15/25 2pm $65 twilight POP 4:30 Course is still in winter condition. Fairways have good coverage. Mostly thin dormant grass. Many signs of the grass starting to resprout. Another month and they should be mostly green. Greens were in very good shape. Receptive, but a little bouncy and ran on the slow side. The rain has cause a few issues around, but not much. Mostly in the bunkers that were wet firm sand. Overall in decent shape and should be improving.

Played 12/14/24 Winter has arrived as far as the course conditions. Fairways & rough vary dormant. The have dyed the fairways to give them a green appearance, but are very tight. Good ball striking mandatory! They have good coverage and played fine, just very tight. Very good roll out. Greens had firmed up a little from last time, but still receptive. Many foot prints left behind. They rolled at a medium quick pace with a decent roll. These greens are the real deal when it comes to staying below the hole and YOU WILL pay for short siding yourself. A couple of the par 3 greens had a lot of semi healing divot marks. Good POP at just a little over 4 hrs. Price a little steep for the current winter conditions, but still a recommend.

Played 11/9/24 10:20 POP 4:20 Course is in good to very good shape. Fairways have dried out a little. Possibly from the recent Santa Ana winds. They still played well. Tannish green in color with very good to great coverage. Mostly very tight with good roll out. Good ball striking was required. With the dormant Bermuda cut tight it could cause issues if even a tad fat. Rough caused no issues. Greens were the best I have seen them play. Since the redesign the greens have always played fast & firm. Today they were fast and receptive. It as always been difficult to stop shots, but today it was like throwing darts and the balls would even back up. The only issue with this was it has caused a lot of divot damage from people not repairing or incorrectly repairing their divots. The scars didn't seem to cause any issues other then visual. And I noticed many foot prints, which I have never seen here. The amazing part was how fast they were and how well they rolled. Even before when firm and fast, they weren't this fast. Down hill putts were extremely tricky on these undulating greens. I loved them. Most traps were in very good to great shape. Was in three and two had perfect sand and one had very wet sand which made it very hard to get out of. Tees were fine with a couple placed in un even locations. No cart service on this day and it was very busy on the course. Waited on about a third of the holes with #10 stacked two deep. But, pace was back to normal after about 4 holes. The course looks on the dry side visually, but is still playing good with some fantastic greens at this time. Very easy recommend!

Played 10/4/24 11:40 $99. Pop 4:40. Course is in over all very good to great condition. Much greener than I expected. Fairways are full and I will say lush, but on the dry side. Ball sits really nicely and are great to hit off. Rough and little thick, but mostly under the ball. Made it a little difficult to compress the ball. Which really comes into play on the greens. They are in great shape. On the firm side so only well struck shots had any stopping power. It doesn't appear they had been aerated as noted above. I don't know if they had a FU tournament before us or if the pin setter was just mean, because the pins were in really difficult spots right above and on break over. These greens are the real thing and are difficult all by them selves. Course was busy on this hot Oct. day in the low 100's. Looking forward to some cooler autumn days because the course is playing very well. Easy recommend.

Played San Vicente on 6/6/24, on an invite to film for my YouTube channel. The course was in good condition - especially the greens. Feel free to check it out on the video here:

Played 6/15/24 1:40 POP 4:10 $99. The course is in overall great shape. Definitely on the dry side, but playing very well. Fairway's green with good roll and good coverage. A little on the dry & tight side, but still very nice to hit from. Greens here can be the challenge of the course. They were in great shape. Very firm, only perfectly struck shots had any stopping power, so you need to play for some roll out. And DO NOT short side your self. I still love the new green complex's. They were running a little on the slow side. They look fast, but ran at a medium pace. Bunkers & tees in good shape. No cart service. Temps were warm, but not too bad. Easy Recommend!

Just played San Vicente Golf Resort 8/17. Beautiful setting, course is in very good shape, excellent tee box's, plenty of nice fluffy lies in fairways (wide also) rough not very high, sand traps excellent with lots of sand. Outstanding chipping areas around greens maybe a little tight for some but not the hit and miss we have at most public courses. Greens were very good and ran just fast enough to make a very noticeable difference in up hill and down hill speeds. Many greens had undulations making some tricky putting. A course I would think anyone will walk away from knowing the next time I will know where it hit on the green and a course where taking a second to plan your shot will pay off. Would have to rate this course as good as any out in the Palm Desert Area.

Played 7/3/23 3 pm POP 4.15 Course is firming up but still playing well. Fairways had very good coverage. On the tight & dry side with very good roll out, but they still played well. Greens were very firm. Hard to stop any shots and you really had to play for the roll out. They putted great with a medium quick pace. YOU CAN NOT short side your self here!!! Traps in great shape. Some of the tees are a little beat up. Over all in very good shape and a easy recommend.
