Walked the blues this afternoon 3/18/24 with my buddy Matt under mostly sunny skies for most of the day and a heavy downpour of rain for 10 to 15 minutes after we hit our tee shots on number 6. POP was around 4 hrs 20 minutes. Joined by a nice twosome who also walked. If you had a camera today would have been the day to use it. The sun piercing through the clouds with as lush as the course is was mesmerizing today.

Greens were in great shape rolling around an 11 on the stimp and holding shots beautiful. Several birdie pins today and some other ones tucked like back right shelf on 18. Not many ball marks to fix and they were rolling pure. Rated 8/10

Fairways are lusher than I am used to on my home course. They are a pleasure to hit irons off of but contain little to no roll. Rated 8.5/10

Greenside rough is 8.5/10 beautiful lush and cut uniform. Fairway rough has improved over the last year and is thicker than in previous drought years.

Was in one bunker left of 15 that was hardpacked but still easy to splash out of.

Tees are in really nice shape, level, cut tight and lush. Rated 8/10. Nice to have number 16 and 17 back two tees back to normal as the last round I played here they were not allowing golfers to tee off from the normal teeing grounds.

This is about the lushest I have seen Rustic since it opened which was over 20 years ago. Still some bump and run shots available but also some shots now you can take right at the pins.

Highly recommended if you like green and lush.

Played Friday 3/15, 7:30 am tee time, 4:15 round, haven't played here in a decade maybe... so excited to get back. course in so so shape.. they are punching next week, but even still, ball marks aplenty, and bunkers are not great. Rest of the course in playable shape. Enjoyable, but not high end condition. imo. Course was dry and fast however, and greens were receptive. Running about a fast 10. Had a good time, and course is as challenging as I remember. For public golf, it's probably your best LA bet in terms of playing conditions. All that being said, I'd play here anytime.

3/17 St. Paddy's play. Early sun up 9 holes then returned for the 2nd loop at 2:30pm by then enjoying a green beer from the snack bar.
Overall general conditions are good for the price point. The bunkers are a bit dark and damp. Hard to define where the fairway to the rough transition is in most spots. I played the ball down and was ok 95% of the time getting what I deserved for a lie.
The greens rolling very nicely on the faster side, both freshly mowed and later in the day. Probably close to the best they get here and it was fun. I made my share so that helped.
As good condition right now to other courses at higher fees. Downhill putts needed touch. The putting surfaces are what will keep me coming back regularly as the warmer spring sun should get the rest of course growing in and dry out the wet areas.
Three holes CPO 2, 5, & long par 3 7th ; I usually walk.
Weather was sunny and mild so a great time had by all.

It's been about a decade since I played the small course here. We played yesterday, Sunday, at 10:48am. POP was right at 2hrs even though we waited on just about every teebox, this place gets a lot of play. Everything right now is in good to very good condition. Teeboxes as suspected are a little beat up, but they're fairly level except number 5, and all have pretty good coverage.

Fairways are in great shape, a pleasure to hit from.

Found one bunker and it was just fine, no complaints.

Greens were good to very good. Definitely quick, beware. Stay below the hole. Lots of lip outs today, too.

Customer service just fine, no complaints. $22.50 to walk, resident rate, is just fine. Definitely recommend and really should get out here more often.

Got my first Glen Annie experience this past week and it was certainly one to remember - some good, some bad and a lot of in-between. I think it was worth the $100 or so greens fee (with cart because you seriously can't walk this one) just for the unique track and great views of the Pacific and Channel Islands.

We also got range balls for that rate and the range itself is pretty archaic and small. It's serviceable though with terrible mats and balls with shots going up a narrowing and dry canyon. There's a putting green right next door that prepares you for what's ahead, and it's not pretty when it comes to those things.

I used to always believe that the hardest opening hole (playing from the back tees) in SoCal was at Knollwood, but I stand corrected. Glen Annie's first hole is a monster, semi-blind and continuously uphill 440+ yard beast. You get a nice respite par 3 after that, followed by a terrifyingly narrow and steep downhill blind tee shot only seeing a lake at the bottom. After that? The number one handicap hole (which seemed hardly as daunting to me). But you get the point - this place is wild. Elevations and narrow corridors galore, the oddest sightlines, lots of barrancas/native areas jumping out in the middle of fairways (looking at you hole 14), and even a few water hazards to really give you a thrill.

If it weren't for the lovely local couple that played with us, we would not have had a clue where to hit on at least half or more of the holes at GA. And even with them it was still a challenge, especially if your tee shots were off. Did I mention it was wild?

Greens are also another treacherous experience at Glen Annie with super fast speeds (which from looking at them you would have never expected), severe slopes, brutal pin placements and a general maze-like quality every time you're squatting down to find your line. One could definitely say the greens (and even the course overall) are quite 'quirky.' But you can also say that it's a fun challenge.

Fairways and rough were just a bit above 'good.' Most certainly well playable but also a lot of dry spots (where drainage is good) and some muddy areas after recent rains (where drainage is not). The bunkers weren't great either, mostly quite thin and just looked a bit unkempt. Tee boxes were also weathered a bit, but functional and mostly flat. I was too busy trying to figure out where I was aiming on most tee boxes to notice too much about the tee boxes themselves. But I must say where the green areas were in bloom, the scenes were quite majestic. View of the course from the clubhouse and grill are pretty alluring indeed.

POP was mostly okay but think others were just getting as lost on many holes and searching for balls as we were. I don't think a fast POP here is the goal, but it was manageable. We had cart service as well multiple times so that was great on what turned out to be a gorgeous pre-spring day.

So would I come back here? Well, in truth I shot a score that requires my return, but I most likely would have anyway just to give it a shot with even a tiny bit of foresight into the course's challenging design. It's a unique place without a doubt - for better or for worse.

Played 3-16-24 $85 1 pm. First time playing the South course. Very straight forward parkland style course. Some tree lined fairways, but mostly open. Not many hazards and only one forced carry. Course was in over all good condition. Fairways had very good coverage with a mix of grasses. Some thin areas mixed with clumpy areas, but over all in good condition. Greens were in really good to great shape. On the firm side, putts ran true at a medium pace. Very quick down hill. Many of the greens have some above average slope, making some pin locations tricky. The biggest challenge of the course was the greens and the days pin placement. Saw the cart girl once. Pace was good for a Sat. at 4 hrs. Small driving range off mats. Good chipping and putting areas. Easy walking course. Some of the Tees on the front side are in the landing areas of the tees behind. Awareness is key! Good course for a relaxing day in the sun.

Played 3/16 at 10:30. Got around in 3:30 despite some waiting on majority of holes. Spectacular spring day. Course is still trying to dry out from a wet winter. Fairways were generally soft, many areas of rough were still swampy and those areas also hadn't been mowed recently. Led to several lost balls on slight misses of the fairway and was a bit frustrating. Greens, however, seem to drain well and were in really good shape. Rolled a bit quick and were difficult to read. Sand in both fairway and greenside bunkers is thin and has lots of pebbles. Course is nothing groundbreaking but pleasant, and I generally enjoyed it. Houses do line several fairways as it winds through the subdivision. A tricky little executive layout, partially due to small and well protected greens on several holes. Worth a visit if you're in the area. If you can hit it 200 and straight off the tee you can be in position attack every hole with a short iron or wedge. If you want to hit balls beforehand, head to the Valley of the Moon course a few minutes up the road; no driving range on the Sugarloaf side, just a small cashier's building with sparse supplies and a few bags of chips. There is a small putting green as well. Valley of the Moon side has a full restaurant and bar, snack shack, and pro shop in addition to larger putting green and driving range.

Played today, fourth group out. Chilly weather around 45 degrees, slight breeze that picked up by the 12th hole. Really good conditions today. Greens were fast; however; they’re getting punched on Monday/Tuesday.

Greens: Rolling fast and true. Firm conditions, hard to hold a shot. Breaks away from the ridge to the south, down towards the middle of the desert.

Fairways: Great rollout and coverage.

Rough: Not too penal.

Bunkers: Good white sand. Perfect conditions and raked nicely.

Tee boxes: We played the Blues. Mostly level. Some were hard.

Overall: Great customer service and the course is playing great right now. Too bad they are aerating on Monday!

Out early as usual. The course weathered the horrendous winds of Thursday. (They closed both courses because of the potentially dangerous conditions) Did not see downed trees, but much of the sand has been blown out of the bunkers. Greens rolled very well, but I expected the speed to be much faster, almost to the point of being unplayable, but they were only about 10-11. Fairways have good coverage, tee boxes are nice, bunkers excellent as usual. The rough still has some issues.

My complaint is that they continue to keep many holes carts on path. (However, yesterday during the Spring Classic tournament, all the holes were open, but today, we were back to several being CPO) That is not right! But I was told that on the South course, where the Tournament is being played today. there are no new cart path restrictions.

Play Wednesday in a club tournament teeing off shortly before 10 am finishing in 4:20. The greens rolled smooth with medium speed and held solid shots. The fairways had good coverage with decent rollout on tee shots. The rough along the fairways and around the greens had decent coverage. The length had an affect on shots but was not overly penal. Most of the bunkers were in good shape with nice sand but there were a couple holes that had greenside bunkers with hard compacted sand/dirt. Hole 7 comes to mind. The tee boxes have mostly good coverage with a few being thin. Overall the course is in nice winter condition. The staff was friendly.

Aeration of the golf course will begin April 1st. Maintenance of the practice areas will start the last week of March.

After playing here numerous times this winter I have found the course to be in poor condition due to excessive rain. The fairways are muddy and most likely will not be dry for weeks. Many days have been cart path only and the pace of play even during the week is over 5 hours every round. Marshalls seem either non existent or just drive around. The course needs improvement for the green fee. My suggestion is to play elsewhere until the management gets the message to improve course conditions.

Played today. Drying out nicely except for the middle of 18 fairway. Good tees. Playable traps. Fairways cut good lies minimal roll. Still some deep rough outside fairways but being cut. Greens very good but very firm and good speed and playable. Great customer service everywhere. Had lunch and had a great tuna salad sandwich. POP was great at 3.5 H.
