I try to play this course at least once a month. It is one of the greatest values considering I like to use the driving range for a good hour before a round and the cost of range balls is about $15 for that many balls (at least). I also enjoy the included water that is on the course (not to mention it is ice cold!). The sandwiches are terrific and only about $5. Afterwards, they have a hot tub where after a very cold day, it feels great to take a dip and warm up (also included). It is very difficult to beat a day at the Golf Club of California.

Now the course... It is very challlenging for me since I'm a newer player but I do enjoy the challenge. I play 10 strokes less on any other course just by playing on this one the most. The greens are very challenging and the pin placements are awesome. I really like the staff as well. I would like to see a better selection in the pro shop and I would also like to see more drink specials but other than that, I love a day at the Golf Club of California.

Played with a buddy on 11/19, Teed off at 0710. Caught group in front of us at 3rd hole, they let us play through and then it was wide open. Had a great time, course is challenging, fairways starting to come in nicely, greens were in great shape as well as the bunkers. Recommend buying tthe course book for $5--great green descriptions and some holes have ravines you don't see from the tee box. Course is challenging but not brutal. Customer service was very good, will definitely return.

In addition....I should have mentioned range balls were included as were bottles of water throughout the course.

Played at 11am on Veteran's Day with Jfuzz. Had an 1120 time and got out a little early. Played in 4 hours 10 minutes. Very nice course. Challenging layout. Tee boxes were mostly up due to maintenance. Greens rolled well but needed a good cut as they were on the shaggy side. Fairways had been punched and were shaved a bit. A lot like Arroyo Trabuco. No real service to speak of. Not bad just not over the top. No starter, no bev cart, no cart staff after the round. Not a bad thing just worth mentioning if you are into those things. Snack bar between 9's is out of the way and hard to find. The maybe need an additional sign or two. Good experince and they accepted the Greenskeeper coupon without hesitation. Make sure you remember the coupon says after 10am. Good experience would like to play it again soon.

If you are in the area, this is the best deal around,,, this place is getting better and better,, a great fun challenge, terrific staff,, just a very nice venue......

Played Friday the 30th and they had just punched the greens earlier in the week. The Greens should be ok in a week or so but the rest of the course is great. This is a fun track and has some challenge to it with some fun approach shots and nice elevation changes. This is definitly worth the 40 bucks on Golf now or using the coupon. Pace of play was good because a few groups let out twosome play through. I am a fan of this course and will be back.

Played on the afternoon of Tuesday, 9/29. We were running late and arrived in the parking lot just 20 minutes before our 2pm tee, but it wasn't a problem because the course was quiet. Checked-in with the starter, paid $40 (thanks to the 50% discount coupon on Greenskeeper), loaded-up the carts, and teed it up on #1...right on time. Course conditions were great. Can't recall an uneven tee box and there were very few that had excessive divots. Fairway coverage was lush throughout and the rough was relatively short and manageable. There's a variety of terrain, with some forced carries (ravines and/or water) and narrow tree-lined shots from the tees. Some holes have the same challenges for second shots or sharp 90* doglegs. Club selection and accuracy are important on several holes - poor choices or errant hits can cost you strokes, balls, or force you to make blind approach shots over mature trees. There are plenty of yardage markers along the fairway. The greens rolled true and were quick but not fast. Plenty of tiered greens and undulation to keep the putting fun. The bunkers were dry and hard-packed - a little bit of additional sand would be nice. With no one behind us and an efficient four-some ahead of us, we weren't rushed and didn't have to wait on more than one or two of the Par 3s. We finished in a leisurely four hours.

As a muni player, I appreciated the conditions of this CC that is open for limited public play. The amenities included in the daily fee (cart, range balls and bottled water coolers along the course) are nice. There were a few things that bugged us, which isn't unusual at any course, but I'll mention them here to help you have a more enjoyable experience if you play here. First, there's no map on the score card and no GPS in the carts, so a first-time player without local knowledge can have a challenging time choosing some targets from the tee. We were in a hurry to tee-off, so I'm not sure if a map or yardage book was available in the pro shop. You may want to ask. Second, if water is your preferred beverage, you're taken care of all along the way, but during our late afternoon weekday round there wasn't any snack/beverage cart service on the course. Finally, if you plan to grab a quick sandwich at the turn, be sure to call-in your order per the sign near the 9th tee. Sandwiches are made to order in the clubhouse kitchen and can take a little while if you stop on the way to the 10th tee and don't order ahead. It helped that the staff was friendly and helpful, even packing our beers in an iced bag to keep them cool in the cart.

All in all, I'd say it was well worth the drive and definitely worth the fee to play here.

Played as a twosome on 9/21 at 10:00am, as there's not a whole lot of people around. Course is in great shape. Layout is quite challenging with some blind and obscured approach shots to the greens. You'll pay for misses on the greens if it lands in the thick underbrush.
Great price of $40 with the discount GK coupon. Well worth the drive!
