Play day was 10/10/26
It was a pleasure to have been on Wilson once again although it’s been years since I’ve been back. Enjoyed reading the previous review from RDenn. Sounds like a wonderful time.

It was a pleasure to have been on Wilson once again although it’s been years since I’ve been back. Enjoyed reading the previous review from RDenn. Sounds like a wonderful time.

It was The two day LA Senior Championship. The course played long like it always has and that’s just how it goes at both their courses.
- the greens rolled pretty good and bent grass is really nice to putt on. Many marks were fixed but some could have been fixed better. (I’m nitpicking I guess). It was very receptive and almost have no rolls from irons in.
- the fairways were fine but not much roll. Many scattered divots but not severe- I found my ball in a few of them by luck.
- the kikuyu rough is tough! They were healthy.
- the bunkers were played heavy at some but if youll play here often I think you can get used to the mostly the same conditions.
- teeing grounds were not good as far as grass is concerned but you can still find some decent spots.

All in all I find that it you take the course the way it is, there’s still plenty of good golf in it.

Played 10/9/26 3:30 pm Just made 18 at dark.
Course is in good shape overall. Greens are about 90% back. Still a little bumpy and slow. Very receptive. Fairways in very good shape for this time of year. Definitely better then ever before. Mostly green with good coverage. I think this is the first year in many that they didn't stain them green. Good coverage. Rough was the ... » More

Mostly green with good coverage. I think this is the first year in many that they didn't stain them green. Good coverage. Rough was the most penal I've seen in a long time. Very thick from second cut on. Tees were unfortunately typical. Crowned and beat up. Very difficult to fine a level spot. Still an easy recommend and even with the difficulties, my favorite twilight course is SD.

Played Friday 10/9 at 9:30. Just a short review for folks interested in the greens. They played very normal without any evidence of punching or sanding. Normal in that there’s a lot of ball marks from people not fixing their own (plus one more), and the occasional bare spot on some greens given the heat, etc. Overall very playable conditions and would recommend. Sand traps were... » More

Sand traps were especially decent in the two that I found today.

Played today in a great POP of 3 H. After seeing the first 4 holes I thought it would be longer LOL

Heat wave has broken and we had a nice cool morning with warming temps on the back 9.

I have not played here in about 40 years so it was like playing for the first time. Except one cannot forget a Par 6 hole which is still there.

And I give praise to anyone ... » More

Played today in a great POP of 3 H. After seeing the first 4 holes I thought it would be longer LOL

Heat wave has broken and we had a nice cool morning with warming temps on the back 9.

I have not played here in about 40 years so it was like playing for the first time. Except one cannot forget a Par 6 hole which is still there.

And I give praise to anyone who can walk this place. I believe I played only one flat hole #12 that was not up down and over like this place. Local knowledge is key here and glad my partners knew this course.

We used a Golf Moose voucher so the round cost us $31.50 a piece with cart. Great deal.

Check in was great and friendly by the staff.

Tee boxes were playable but many could use leveling.

Fairways had good coverage (not all of them) but they provided decent roll out and lies the whole round.

Traps? There aren't any. But seriously I cannot even remember a bunker on 98% of the holes around the greens other than a few fairway ones that really did not come into play.

But who needs traps when there are enough ups/downs like a roller coaster and a course with OB lining every hole that if you went in they would not find you + the eucalyptis trees covering the course. Just be straight with your driver if you can.

Greens are in great shape and they are small and with the many elevations of the holes coming up short can be an issue with chipping as they are fast. They also have lots of unseen levels when putting that can drive one crazy.

And then you have two holes #9 and #18 that are unique as any holes you might come across. #9 a Par 3 (175 B 141 W) is downhill by at least 175 yards very small green surrounded by heavy rough and trees. Making par (I did) is not easy.

#18 is a Par 5 (667 B 649 W) all downhill OB on both sides of the fairway all downhill lies or uphill lies the entire way and uphill to a small green when you reach about 100 yards to the green above you. Not an easy hole to par (I did) by any means.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing here as it is as different as night/day to so many courses one can play in N and S CA. Highly recommended for anyone regardless of skill just to experience such a dramatically different layout of a course.

And there is a nice little Par 3 course on property as well.

+ Beautiful views of the bay area of from many of the holes on the course.

Played Arrowood early on 10/7. Greens are back to very good condition, a bit firmer than I remember them being before. Upcoming aeration should soften them some.

The rest of the course is in really good shape for late summer. Fairways good, rough can be spotty.

The rest of the course is in really good shape for late summer. Fairways good, rough can be spotty.

The only problem spots I really noticed was on the apron of several greens, the grass was very iffy. Maybe those areas will get hit with aeration too.

Put Arrowood back on your must play lists.
