Played 6-13-26 early morning as usual, walking in under three hours on an overcast morning that started to clear just as I was finishing. Tee boxes , level with good coverage and cut tight. Fairways were very lush and green with great lies and minimal roll out. Rough playing 1-2 inches longer than fairways and thick.

Fairways were very lush and green with great lies and minimal roll out. Rough playing 1-2 inches longer than fairways and thick. Bunkers had a good layer of heavy sand and in great condition. Greens were in really good shape rolling medium/fast and true and playing semi-soft. Overall great conditions right now. Highly recommended.

Played Lakewood today teeing off at 8:30 and played in exactly 4 hours. The course is in nice shape and most tee boxes are fine with the exception of number 3 for both blue and white they were a little chunky but for the most part fine. Greens were great and held shots well, lots of sand in bunkers as I was in a few. Most of the tee boxes today were almost next to each other,... » More

Played Lakewood today teeing off at 8:30 and played in exactly 4 hours.

Greens were great and held shots well, lots of sand in bunkers as I was in a few. Most of the tee boxes today were almost next to each other, the first 4 were only a few yards apart and then from 5 on they were separated by maybe 10 yards but I did see a lot maintenance workers today so maybe it was for today only, because if you were playing whites it was a good 6500 + yards today. Last thing, the rough is really grown here to maybe 3-4 inches so if you spray your ball a little good luck finding it. Was lucky to find a tee time here today, but for those of you who are seniors, the Lakewood Senior Men’s Club has openings you get to play 2 tournaments a month on a Monday teeing off at 8 am just thought I would mention it. Always a good time playing here..

Course is in good shape for now. Needs work on bunkers (most hardpan) only problem is 5 hour round with a 6:51 AM tee time on a weekday? Pity the groups later in the day or on the weekend.

Out at Los Robles this past weekend for another RPGC tournament and the course is simply in great shape. You simply can't go wrong playing there right now.

Greens are tremendous - so much fun and so many challenging pin placements. They are rolling true and fast and just a pleasure to experience. The fairways are in really good shape as well, and the rough is a phenom... » More

Out at Los Robles this past weekend for another RPGC tournament and the course is simply in great shape. You simply can't go wrong playing there right now.

Greens are tremendous - so much fun and so many challenging pin placements. They are rolling true and fast and just a pleasure to experience. The fairways are in really good shape as well, and the rough is a phenomenal adventure. Bunkers have good sand and tee boxes (we played the blue tees) are in fine condition. All around, it's prime right now.

We had cart service swing by a few times, the carts are in good shape (although our GPS system was not operative on ours but no big deal) and the driving range and practice areas are all quite nice. Layout is really fun with all manner of challenge but nothing gimmicky or overly hard just for the sake of it. Top marks this weekend for this local gem.

Played here this AM with a former colleague who is a member. Not sure I would have spent $350 to play here?

And this was a place I again had not played in over 40 years. And I would hate to tell you what we paid back in the 80's.

A great course and a wonderful scenic layout but I think the place is a little over priced based on its reputation. Pebble Beach it is ... » More

A great course and a wonderful scenic layout but I think the place is a little over priced based on its reputation. Pebble Beach it is not.

I did find the course to be in good shape for this time of the year.

Tee boxes were all fine and fairways are wide playable and provide good lies. But not much rollout. But the elevation does give you some extra length which is appreciated.

No traps and no complaints heard.

Rough was OK and good advancement was possible.

Greens were in good shape. They had decent speed which was nice and chipped/putted fine all round.

The 17th is a great Par 3. Was able to par it again like old times sake. And also made par on 18. Even though father time made me play one tee up LOL.

I think it's a course the golfer who likes to travel and play well known layouts should play but for the average golfer it might not be worth the $$$ unless you have it to burn.
