Played 3/3/09, 8:29a.m., w/regular foursome. It is busy here, but the clubhouse staff is friendly and efficient. The clubhouse is gorgeous for one as "old" as this, and the surroundings are quiet. The fairways... yes, bumpy, but one shouldn't drive so fast in the golf car that it bounces the riders around. Must say, on the first hole, 3 of us pulled our shots to the left. The driving range is close, so be careful if you hit to the left, to avoid "incoming." One of the 4-some did lose his ball on this first hole, so he wasn't happy with the 8 he scored. Almost all of the greens are raised targets, so choose 1/2 to 1 club more than you think or see on the well-placed distance stakes. The greens roll true for putts, but you'll be surprised when your approach shot holds... come in high. They are great! The difference between the greens and the fairways give this course decided character. We loved it. The clubhouse food is delicious and reasonably priced, and they have an extensive menu. Drinking water on the course is sparse, so you might want to carry bottled water with you, at least during the week. The cart barn staff is friendly, too. We loved it! By the way, read the notes and letters from the military posted on the various wall boards in the restaurant/clubhouse area.

Already played this course 5 times this year. Course knowledge can be a big factor, but the GPS (included in greens fee) is a big help, too. The hole placements are excellent, usually very challenging. The greens are in overall good shape; I fault those players who walk onto the green without repairing the marks. Same goes for the many divots in the fairway. No excuse. The cart barn furnishes adequate sand bottles, and there are bottles available to exchange at the turn. Personnel here are outstanding in every position. Great, great value!

I totally agree with the review of 26 Nov. Even though it was a bit rainy on the 25th, we enjoyed the reception in the pro shop, cart barn, the joviality of other players, and especially the course conditions. The cup placements are challenging, and the greens are true. Some spots on the fairways are troubled, but overall not a huge problem. Over the past 4 years we have made Yucaipa a frequent choice and, when a disappointment arose, it was treated fairly and reasonably. My foursome loves this course, and the favorable green fees.

3/4/08 - My foursome plays this course regularly; it's been a while since we played here, though. The $35 fee for seniors is fantastic for a track of this stature. Take into account that the greens are bumpy because of grass invasion. This has been a wet year, too! They're not bad considering. You must get below the hole, though, or you're in for a putting surprise. And, guys and gals -- repair your ball marks. The fairways are patchy. Don't know why. Seeding? Watering? It would help if the players would attend to divots, for sure. On this day, it would seem that the maintenance crew assigned the wrong person to rake and prepare the traps for play. The starting rake marks created wide holes in many bunkers -- unfair to honest players. Could use more rakes at the bunkers, too, to encourage players to rake after play. Oh, we'll be back, for sure. The clubhouse personnel are friendly and helpful. They do like their jobs. Thanks, YVGC.

Played this course at a great rate (including breakfast) in mid-April. It is in terrific shape!

You couldn't ask for better Customer Service. Their Rewards Card is free, but valuable. The coupons are valuable, too, by the way. Every negative aspect I checked on the Rating List is the fault of inconsiderate persons who have no desire to help a course remain pristine. Divots and ball marks -- Repair!!!! I've never gone out here, when the divot bottles on the golf carts weren't full of sand and seed. And there's a refill station at the turn. Use the bottles!!! It helps everyone, even you dolts who seem to think it's not your responsibility to repair the ballmark or fill the divot. Don't drive on the edges of the Bunkers!!!! Rake the bunker as you leave. The sand in the bunkers is fine, moderately coarse. Avoid Ground Under Repair areas!!! Pick up your broken tees, and remove your reusable tees!! Many of the growing conditions are taking a beating because of weather and inconsiderate people, not because of the greenskeepers and maintenance personnel. The workers strive to keep this a wonderful playing experience.
