Played here on July 12th as part of the GK event, which was my first GK event. I had a great time as the environment was relaxed but everyone's enthusiasm for golf was apparent. This is my first trip to Olivas but it won't be my last as I found the course to be in excellent condition and a fair test. The tee boxes and fairways were very good. Not overwhelming so but there are some mounds in the fairway that can kick a good tee shot astray. The sand trap that I found myself in was excellent. There isn't much rough on this course except for what they designate as waste areas which it is possible to have a playable lie in but could also force you to take a drop. The greens rolled well but were a little bit on the slower side. I liked the design of the greens though and on this day the pins were placed in extreme front/back and left/right positions. The design of the greens puts a premium on accurate shots to get them close as many of them are tiered and will make the course worth playing repeatedly for the different pin placements. Also adjusting for the wind can be challenging, 2-3 clubs on some holes in what was not an overly windy day. All in all it is worth the drive from Los Angeles.
