Played Robinson Ranch outing -
And like the previous post played with a great group of guys. Had fun for sure. Yes and there was witness to a 150 yard dunk for eagle on a par 5, a 351 yard long drive w/ a three wood and putting clinic - those guys are good.

I will say there where a lot of laughs in our group. Now to the golf

Stepped on the first tee box and the grass is in great shape. Tee boxes were flat in many areas with only a couple that were slightly off. Fairways were trimmed and rolled very well, greens rolled true but, maybe a little slow, especially uphill. Greens are a little tricky, but what you see is the actual break.
The club house service is always awesome and the food is good. The smaller shop for a quick grab has gone up in price since my last visit but the homemade chips are cool and good.

The course is visually hard to determine where to place your tee shot, but with a couple of plays you'll be able to stripe the fairway with ease. It is a must play if you want to test your game.

Played 9 holes (barely) with Mr. Ring.
The course was in decent shape considering they were punching half of the greens.

I will say this - it is the home of the six hour round. We played later in the afternoon and it was still long. Took roughly 3 hours to play the front 9.
the fairways were in somewhat decent shape, and the tee boxes needed a little work. The course gets so much play that it is unfair to give it such a bad rating.

What the course lacks in presentation (on its bad days) is VEIW - which is huge out here. With all of the waiting the views really make a difference. The also make a difference on the slope of the greens as well.

I would visit this course anytime and with a little more water this course will be in fine shape.

Played here on Thursday - 3/22 -
As part of our kick-off match play event. The course is still in its doormat stage so the fairways and greens will not be at there best. The greens were in good shape - they verticut the greens however, it does not slow them down - they seemed to be running a little faster?

The fairways are not in the best condition right now. As stated previously they are still in transition. They will be good soon. The tee boxes were in good shape and the rough (aka trees) are fully blossomed -

This is a good course and great when it turns green.
Keep it in the short stuff

Course is still in its do at stage - the greens are in good condition and can be very tricky at times. There are a lot of sand traps and water throughout the course. The wind can also be a factor during this time of year.
Front 9 and back 9 are totally different - course knowledge is a good value here.

Come down and play - you will enjoy it for sure.

I like this course. It is a little drive but worth every penny. If you are up that way it is a "MUST" play bucket list course.

The course was in good shape. Greens rolled pretty true and fairways were in good shape. Tee boxes were level and good for me I was not in the sand. The course is very fun and will challenge you in different spots. Course knowledge is key, but not necessary to have fun.

Driving range is grass and was in good shape. Now the driving range is down hill, so it makes it a little difficult to really see how far you are hitting the ball. It is mainly for ball flight. However, it will help you on some holes.

I didnt see any chipping area but there are two good putting areas. There is space to chip but no green to land. This course has a lot of extra space. As you are driving around the course, you will see other practice areas for the community? It is really interesting.

Course could also consider having a pin stand on the first tee or in the club house. This way the golofer will know where the pin is on these greens becuase it does make a difference, considering the greens are not flat in many places.

All in all the course is fantastic and a lot of fun to play. I would recommend to get out there and play it several times if you can. Enjoy.

Played Westlake on Monday 9/19 -
with a couple of good Gk buddies. First I will like to start off by saying that the course manager (big boss) is a great guy. He listened to my complaint and made no excuses for the action of his employee -

This type of attitude about fixing the issues surrounding the golf course and its patrons is the sole reason why you should play Westlake - he cares about every patron that plays the course and wants them to enjoy their day spent at Westlake golf course.


Now on to the course -
The course is a fun layout that can look and be tight in some areas. there are mature trees and they will play havoc on your golf ball. The course is very fun and I have had an enjoyable time playing this course everytime I have driven down to Westlake.

Fairways were good and the place you wanted to hit your approach shot. That would give you the best chance to score becuase the rough (el grabo) kakuya was man, tough to deal with. It is not very high but it is grabby.

Tee boxes were getting some work done to them.

Greens are good - like in previous post they were a little slow. Once they get cut they are going to be NICE.
The overall course has a lot of fun holes that will require diffrent shots with a finishing hole that will play tricks on your mind. Do I go for eagle or do I go for the sure birdie? what a delimma :)

PS -
I know some of you are wondering what happen, but I shall not give airtime to the ignorance of one man. This is about golf and not a person complaint box.
Have fun.

Played Skylinks on Saturday 9/10 -
Man it was slow - (and this is why I dont play on Sat.) -

Our round was from 1130am - 5pm. Now this has never happened to me at this course, there was a tourney in front of us and 4 other groups. Now the tourney was slowing everything down but was finished after the 9th hole.

Well it picked up a little bit after that and the round seemed to go just a little faster. Again this is not the norm at this course - I have played this course in 3.5 hours on several occassions.

Now on to the course itself.
It rained a little that morning so I thought the course would be a little wet. However, the fairways were in good condition. There was a couple of wet areas off the fairways but that is to be expected.
The greens were in good condition. (people please fix your ball marks) - the greens were holding shots and had very little roll out after the shot. They rolled pretty good, a tad slow but good.

The sand was wet and compacted. Mad bunker shots a little more difficult.

The tee boxes were in good shape except for the 2 par three - were there was divot damage, however I know they will get it fixed.

So overall it was a good day and the course was surprisingly in good condition after the rain. Will be back to play it again.

Play here on Sunday 8/28 -

This course is an American golf course - which kinda surprised me. However, they had very good practice areas. The range was grass and mats - and you hit into this uphill range -
They have a big putting area (there are actually two, but the other is smaller) that gives you an idea of how the greens are actually rolling.

The course has some really good holes, a lot of different holes to challenge your game. Especially your second shots into greens. Several of the holes where very fun. The front nine is different from the back - Front nine seems more flat with trouble around you, while the back nine was more of a rolling feeling with trouble around you.

Greens rolled very good, please fix your ball marks, and held shots fairly well. A lot of tiers on the greens and the greens where fairly large on the back.

When the wind is up, the course is harder due to most holes playing into the wind. The vineyard is very noticeable on the back nine. And helps to give you a calm feeling while playing a fairly challenging par 5 - hahaha.

Overall the course was nice to play and I would play it again in my future visits to Escondido.

Played 8/15 - with Nickequire1, JohnnyGK and Longball23 -

Wowo this course is tuning up in great shape. If they roll the greens and make them faster it will be an awesome tournament.

lets get to the good stuff -

The tee boxes are in great shape - the fairways are immaculant - the ball rolls and they are good to hit off of for you guys that hit down on the ball.

The greens are in good condition. They hold shots pretty well and if you can spin the ball there are a lot of places on the greens that will allow you to spin the ball back to the hole.
They would get a 10 if they were faster - (they are not that slow) but a little faster would be GREAT.

The course itself has a lot of different holes that require different types of shots. And thay have some of the longest holes in Ventura county. with the wind and other factors this course is no push-over.

The course is pretty flat for the most part - couple of smalls hills, but it will be a joy to walk. Take in some of the sites of the course itself and the surronding areas. Good stuff -

The staff was pretty friendly in the pro shop, everyone was pretty happy and talkative to the patrons. Great place to play -

Drove 1.5 hours to play this course and it was well worth it.

Played Rustic Monday Afternoon -
w/ Longball, BigSwede, and a friend. Man this course was in good shape. It was hot (it is starting to warm up) but the course was very green.
Fairways were lush, tee boxes were in good condition.

Greens were not the normal Rustic speedy greens, but were were still in good condition.

The golf course is looking real good if you wanna see it in almost its prime. And the price is excellent for a group walking. There is no mistake why Rustic wins in the "BEST" category time after time.

Get out there and enjoy is luster, before it gets too hot.

Played mountain today 6/12 -
Man what a course. Thought the course was beautiful - got out there right before it starts hitting 100 and above - pace of play was good 3.5 -4 hours (we didn't know where to hit the ball) :)

Proshop was nice and Hal gave great service. Real nice gentleman. The entire staff was very nice with us. Now on to the course.

Greens were in good shape - there were slick and fast - but very puttable. Lots on tiers on the greens, had to be on the right tier or face a very nasty putt.
fairways were immaculate, with just a couple of wet spots. Very green and rolled pretty darn good. Bunkers, and there are a lot of them, were just okay. Some of them were waste areas with rocks, some of the bunkers were wet and didn't have enough sand in them, ores were very compacted like hitting off dirt. Not what would be expected from this caliber golf course.
Tee boxes were in good shape, but had some divot damage, for as many tee's we found on the tee boxes, people don't seem to use them very much especially on the 3 pars.
The rough was wow - don't go into the second cut - they have this stuff (grass, 3different types maybe) growing in the second cut - it was to my ankles - my feet literally got lost in the rough - fair warning don't hit in there it's a bad thing.

Overall it was a great experience, golf course was in great shape - and it is definitely a course that can be put in the la Quinta rotation. You will enjoy it, except for the heat.

Played Sherwood on 5/21 -
On our way down to play a course we stopped by Sherwood Forest to play 18 holes. Well if you want to point something that is obvious, it is not in a very accessible area. If you are going there for your first time it will seem a long way away. It is a fun golf course for the community.
The layout is interesting, there are some really fun holes and then there are some really simple holes. There are some more challenging holes. Most of the course is short, however you do have to work the ball a little to not be in the trees and there are some holes where the tee shot is critical.
There are a lot of trees (hince Sherwood Forest?) but most of the fairways are forgiving.

They have short 4 par, that was the tightest tee shot I have seen in a long time. If you got through straight then it was a birdie holes for sure.

It is a municipal course and is good for working on your game. The greens were the best part of the course, seemed smooth but not very fast. Although the rolled pretty good. The sand was in good condition, and the tee boxes were okay. Some had some divot issues but not alot.

Fairways where average but you could really make good contact with the ball if you were on the fairway. Most of the fairways were tree lined and didnt allow for errant shots to be recovered. Trees in front and behind, most times required you to punch out.

If you are in the area it is a good fun course to work on your game.
