I have a nickname for this course -- Lakepoop. Geez, with so many geese and coots, some of the fairways and tee boxes are littered with poop. We usually walk the course, so our shoes and golf cart wheels are dredged in that stuff. This is so unsanitary and very unhealthy, especially since we have to pick up the ball on the putting green and again when we tee it up. Can you imagine your child playing in that stuff all day? Gross!!! The six-hour rounds are unacceptable. If all the men who have a handicap higher than a 12 would tee off from the whites at EVERY course, that would help immensely in faster play. We followed a fivesome of men yesterday, all of whom teed off from the blues. None were in the fairways, and their drives did not justify them teeing off from the blues. It is ridiculous to have to wait a few minutes to hit every shot, especially on weekday!!

Played Black Gold on 4/20/10 and it was in excellent condition. Putting was a little tricky, but fairways, greens, and bunkers were great. However, if you stay for lunch, make sure you have nothing planned for the rest of the day. It takes forever for the kitchen staff to get the food out. We ordered two shrimp tacos and three sandwiches and got them 45 minutes later!!

Have not played Willowick in over six months, and when I played it on 10/21, I was very pleased with the condition of this course. It was in much nicer condition than a lot of other local ones (higher priced) that I have played over the months. The greens were exceptional, the fairways were good. Pace of play was excellent -- 4-1/2 hours -- and there were a lot of people on the course. Bunkers are still brutal, and I wish courses would have practice bunkers just like those.

Have not played at either of the courses since the renovation. We took advantage of the $50 Monday special, played the Ike on 7/13/09, and absolutely loved it. It is just as spectacular as before, and the pace of play was great. If it were not for the $50 special, it would have been difficult for me to fork out $100 to play there during the week. The clubhouse also had some nice remodeling. However, I found the food in the restaurant downstairs very expensive for lunch. It is actually fine dining, which I believe inappropriate for golfers coming off the course wanting something to eat. We laughed when the waiter brought out the Caesar Salad ordered by one of our guys. I think he left hungry!! I am a small eater, but I think I could have eaten two of those. Before the renovation, food prices were quite reasonable. Next time I think I'll order something from the snack bar outside.

Course was in very good condition. All the greens were partially aerified, but it wasn't too bad. Excellent customer service. For the price they charge, it would have been nice if the carts had a GPS system. I would definitely play this course again.

Played Summerly today and although I like the course very much, the fairways were very slushy probably due to overwatering and poor drainage. Letting carts on the very wet fairways only ruins the course. The staff should not allow the carts to drive through these areas. Several times I've had to move my ball a few yards away where I was not standing in casual water. Other than that, the greens were slow but in good condition. The staff is wonderful and customer service is key here.

Loved this course! Staff was friendly and very efficient. We had a 7am shotgun on 6/7/09, and by golly, they didn't waste any time. We were at our tee boxes at 7am. Course was in great shape -- fairways, greens, bunkers. This is on my "play again" list of courses!

Played this course on 6/6/09, an excellent and spectacular course. This course has a very interesting layout with lots of character and indeed challenging. As with all the desert courses, Eagle Falls is well manicured. Not much of a clubhouse, but the course makes up for it. I would play this course many times over!!

Goose Creek is one of the best courses in Southern California. It is affordably priced, staff is very friendly, course is always in top notch condition. Everything is immaculate -- pro shop, patio, bathrooms. We played it today in 4 hours and 15 minutes. Tee times are spaced 9 minutes apart which gives groups ample time to play a hole without being pushed or rushed. It is worth the drive from Orange County.
