Let's be clear, this is one of the slowest courses in the country. I have played this course on weekday afternoons around 30 times and only twice did we finish before 5 hours. The combination of fivesomes and no marshalls means that by the afternoon, it will be a 5 to 6 hour round and in one case, 6.5 hours. That said, it has one of the best views in Southern California, one of the cheapest rates, and if you are ready for a 5 hour round, it is definitely worth playing. They re-did much of the course about 4 months ago and overall it was an improvement.

As for the course, the fairways are in ok shape. Like many Southern Cal courses, they are stingy with the water but they do a good job watering the more important areas. The rough is thin but is relatively easy to hit off of. The sandtraps were just recently redone. The sand is good but in many cases is now very thin. This can cause you to hit the clay at the bottom of the sand trap.

I played this course on 1/18/2014. I would have to agree with previous reviews that the golf course is disappointing based on what they charge for a round. The fairways are in decent condition though there were quite a few thin spots. The rough was inconsistent. On the good side though the bunkers were great and some of the best I have seen. The greens were also in great shape and were fast and consistent on all but two holes. The customer service was good and the pace of play was excellent. They had a ambassador roaming the course keeping up the pace and we even got yelled at once after our group lost two balls on one hole. However, I see this as a positive if it means they are going to keep the pace of play under 4 hours. The course is definitely worth playing if you can get a reduced rate.

I got to play the North course on 10/24 at a best ball tournament. I really enjoy this course. It plays like a links course but the landing areas are generous on most holes though you will most likely lose any errant shot. The fairways were in great shape though the greens were inconsistent during the day. Most were medium speed with a few that were very fast. Fortunately the caddie was able to warn us which holes to watch out for. I don't think it is worth the rack rate but if you can get a special deal here, it is definitely worth the trip.

Played this course on the morning of Sunday, June 24th. It was a 'fast' tee time and the pace of play was great. We didn't have to wait on any hole. The course is in great condition with possibly the exception of the sand traps which were very inconsistent. Most of them were the consistency of mud. However, the greens and fairways were in great shape. The greens were medium speed and a little soft but rolled true. Very few divots. The customer service was good and we got out right on time.

Overall this is a great public course. I played on 4/12/2013 and the weather and conditions were pristine. I heard some complaints of the pace of play here but it stayed consistent all day and we were done in a reasonable amount of time. The marshals were patrolling the course and were diligent about getting after anyone who got behind. We got our warning after we had two lost balls on one hole and were requested to catch up. Some golfers complain about this but if it keeps the pace moving, I am all for it.

The fairways are in better shape then most I have played this year. Mostly green and relatively firm. Drives were rolling an extra 10 to 20 yards.

The greens are unusual at Rustic Canyon. There is no fringe per se and the area around the green was cut just as close. Made it hard to chip but you can putt from almost anywhere near the green. The speed was moderate.

I would definitely recommend the trip to this course. The price is good and the scenery really makes you feel like you are away from the city.

Played at 8am this morning. Used my last entry on my OC Trail Card. It was still cold and quite a bit of dew on the fairways.

Most of the fairways were thin and on a few holes we found some bare spots. The 90 degree rule was in effect but we were confused about this since they had rope barriers on most of the holes that only allowed you to enter at the start of the fairway and exit at the end making it impractical to get back to the cart path.

Greens were medium speed and generally in good shape.

The rough was about 4" long in most places and relatively easy to hit out of.

Our round took less than four hours with our foursome. We didn't have to wait on any hole.

Overall the course has great scenery and an excellent layout but given the fairway conditions, I don't think is worth the rate they are charging, even with a 50% discount.
