Played 4-20-23 mid morning walking as a twosome and finishing in about 4 hours with some minor waiting. Tee boxes were in good condition, level and cut tight with some divot damage on par threes, but tee boxes are pretty large so you can always find some nice turf to hit from. Fairways are very wide and starting to come out of dormancy so looks wise they are a yellow/green color but playing very nice with good tight lies and a lot of roll out. Rough is about an inch longer than fairways and in good shape, edges along the rough is very thick right now and between 1-2 feet. Was in a couple of greenside bunkers that that had a decent layer of brown coarse sand. Greens were in good shape rolling medium pace and playing soft, they are very large with some tricky subtle breaks. Overall condition are very nice and as the weather warms up they will only be getting better.

Played in the GM/GK shotgun outing on 4-17-23 with John and Alex on a cool and overcast day. Tee boxes were in good shape, mostly level and cut tight. Fairways were in good shape, coming out of dormancy so starting to green up, but still had good lies if a little tight and a lot of roll out. Primary rough was 1-2 inches longer than fairways and in good condition, outside that you are in the heavy stuff which is real thick right now. Was in a couple of bunkers that had okay sand but a little thin. Greens were playing very nice rolling medium/fast and a little on the firm side. Fun course up and down the hills with a few water hazards and interesting lay out.

Played a couple of times here over the last couple of weekends and the course is in real good shape. Very green and lush from tee to green. Fairways were in great shape, only blemishes were on 1 were a low spot in the fairway left a little sand build up from all the rain, and on 10 were at the end of the fairway there was some sand build up across it, other than that great lies with decent roll out. Rough was very lush at about 2-3 inches and fringes around the greens were very smooth. Sand in the bunkers was very fluffy and could leave you with a fried egg if flying into the face. Most tee boxes were in good condition with a few of the smaller ones having a little divot damage. Greens were in real good shape, medium pace and smooth. Very tranquil course that has a big bite, a must play.

Played 2-13-23 on a wonderful afternoon with Gary, John, and Mark, getting around the course in 4 hours and 45 minutes with no waiting. Tee boxes were in really good shape, all of them level and cut tight with very minimal divot damage on par threes. Fairways were in great shape with some minor thin and wet spots, decent roll out with the ball sitting up nicely. Primary rough was about 2 inches and in real good condition, outside that you are in the thick Fescue with most likely a lost ball. Was in a couple of greenside bunkers that had a good layer of nice white sand, real nice to hit from. Greens had a small punch that didn't effect the roll much, they were rolling true at medium/fast pace and playing semi-soft. Overall course is in really good shape, best I have seen it in in a while, wall to wall green with great ocean views.

Played 12-26-22 early morning walking as a single, finishing in about 2 1/2 hours. Tee boxes were mostly in good shape, they were level with some being a little thin. Fairways were in good winter condition, light green with some yellow showing with semi-tight lies but good padding. Rough was not much longer than fairways, so not much of a problem to hit from. Was in a couple of greenside bunkers that had really nice white sand to hit from. Greens were in really good shape, rolling smooth at medium pace and playing semi-soft. Overall real nice winter conditions. Haven't played here in a couple of years and I don't know why. This is such a fun course to play, not that long at 6500, but a real good variety of holes with some nice elevation through tree lined fairways. Highly recommend.

Played 12-22-22 early morning walking for $34, joining a threesome and finishing in a little under 4 hours. Tee boxes were nice, they were level with good coverage. Fairways were in good shape, starting to turn a little dormant, but still good coverage with nice lies and decent roll out. Rough was cut pretty low, so not much of a factor and in about the same shape as the fairways. Was in a couple of greenside bunkers that had a good layer of real nice white sand. Greens were in good shape, rolling smooth and true but a little bit slower than normal. Overall good conditions for winter. Highly recommend playing.

Played 11-26-22 mid morning with GDR23 as a twosome, finishing in around 4 hours with some minor waiting. Tee boxes were mostly in good shape with a few being a little unlevel, but not hard to find a nice stance. Fairways were in good condition with nice lies, good padding, and decent roll out, a few minor blemishes here and there, but nothing real bad. Rough was in good shape, about 2 inches and thick, have to hit a good shot out of it or it will grab your club. Was in a couple of greenside bunkers that were in real good shape, plenty of nice white sand that will leave you a fried egg if you fly it into the face of the bunker. Greens as always were in really good shape, rolling true at medium/fast pace and playing semi-soft. Just great to putt on. Overall conditions are very nice and make the course fun to play. Highly recommend playing here.

Played 11-14-22 with some fellow GKers, teeing off a little before noon and finishing in under 4 hours with no waiting and no one behind us. Tee boxes were in very nice shape, level and green with good coverage. Fairways were in great shape, good lies, decent roll out with your ball sitting up for approach shots. Rough was about 2 inches, uniformly cut and in great condition. Was in two greenside bunkers that had an ample amount of nice white sand that was well groomed. Greens were some of the best I've played on all year, rolling smooth at a medium/fast pace and playing semi-soft. Overall really good conditions on this fun course.

Played 11-13-22 afternoon for $62 riding, and finishing in under 4 hours with hardly any waiting letting one twosome go through us on the front side. Tee boxes were mostly level but a little chewed up. Fairways for the most part were in decent shape with good roll out and okay lies. Rough is not much longer than the fairways and about the same shape with some bare areas along the edges. Was in one greenside bunker that was a little firm but still playable. Greens were kind of a disappointment, they looked fine and played semi- soft but very bumpy throughout the course, not to many putts would stay on line. Have seen the course in much better shape, but right now just okay but still playable. Good thing about the course is it is very fun to play, and I have always enjoyed myself here even with sub-par conditions.

Played 11-7-22 with John, Alex, and Matt, mid morning on a really nice day in Palm Desert, getting around the course in around 4 1/2 hours with some minor waiting. Tee boxes were in good condition, lush and level, with some being a little shaggy, but just coming out of overseeding so they are probably letting them fill in a little more before they start cutting them a little tighter. Fairways were in real nice shape, green and lush with great lies and decent roll out. Rough was in good shape, not to long and very easy to hit from. Bunkers were in good shape, well groomed with a nice layer of white sand that was nice to hit from. Greens were in great shape rolling very smooth and true at medium pace and playing semi soft. Great club house and nice practice area. Customer service has always been great here as it was when we played. Highly recommend.

Played 11-6-22 afternoon finishing in about 4 1/2/ hours, cart path only so a little more walking from cart to ball. Tees were in real good shape, lush and level with minimal divot damage on par threes. They were trying out a new grass on the 16th tee box that was very nice to play from, would like to see how is does in the fairway. Fairways were in decent shape with some thin and bare spots that need a little more time to fill in. Rough was very lush, 2-3 inches and uniformly cut along fairways and around greens. Fairway bunkers were in good shape with a nice layer of sand to hit from. Greenside bunkers had a little more sand than fairway bunkers, and were well groomed. Greens for the most part were in decent shape, there were some that had some issues around the edges with bare spots but nothing in the line of play. They were playing mostly soft, and a little long so putts were pretty slow. Overall conditions were just okay, but I would expect them to improve with time.

Played 11-1-22 early morning for $49 walking, joining a threesome and finishing in about 4 hours and 15 minutes with some waiting. Tee boxes were mostly level with thin coverage and some bare spots. Fairways were mostly green with some thin brown areas, decent rollout and okay lies. Typical rough, lush around greens and thinner along fairways. The big aprons around the greens were not in good shape, a lot of bare spots, with some of them being punched and sanded. Was in one greenside bunker that was a little thin but still playable. Greens are still healing from whenever they were punched, playing soft, rolling medium pace and bumpy. Course is in just okay shape but still playable.
