Stopped by on our way home from the 49er game on Friday morning. Never heard of this course before, partner had played it a couple of times in a mens tourney and raved about it. Got our discounted tee time on ez-links for $28 with cart which is a great deal for this course. Very impressed with the overall conditions of this course. Plays very long from the tips but is still a good challenge from the interm tees. Greens are sloped mostly and if your not below the hole on most of them, its trouble. Very fast but true greens, fairways were very nice, tee box's decent. Only slight complaint was the sand was thin in most traps I was in but playable. Back nine gave me fits, especially 12-17 but was fun. Great price for this course and a good challenge of your putting skills.
Had another great time during the GK outing with all the guys and the course. I have always loved this course since it opened. I have seen it go through many changes and now its nice to see things renaining consistant. I thought the course played very well and overall conditions to be excellent. Found lots of bunkers during the day and had no problems with them. Greens rolled very well and didnt dry up during the heat.
Every time I play here, I seem to get a calming effect which always helps the game. Love the layout, the staff is always very good and once again we got treated with a great dinner. Great job to all that helped put it together, especially you John.

I come here each summer for the good rates and nice resort. This year was the worst condition I have ever seen the Palms course. The greens are almost unplayable with some having patches of sod, yes I said sod. For a course in the desert I can understand the challenges of keeping the greens decent through the heat, but come on you would think they would have this down by now. Very dissapointed in the overall conditions here. Next year I will spend a few more $$$ and stay at La Quinta rather than put up with crappy greens.
On a good note, we complained to the front desk manager who in turn took off $100 off the tab for our three day stay.

Right now they are runniing a special for 40% off greens fees which is a heck of a deal. Played on 3-23-09 and found the conditions not as good as the usual for this course. Dont get me wrong, the course conditions here are probably better right now than 80% of the courses in the state but just not the way im used to seeing it. The greens were good but still healing and the fairways were decent but not lush as they always are. My only complaint about this course since its inception is the sand in the bunkers. Its soo soft and difficult, its like they went down to the dunes and loaded all the beach sand in a dump trunk and used it on the course. its playable but difficult. Had some good holes and several tough ones. drove the green on seven and three putted for a par, that kinda day. My neighbors father in law in town from Texas thought this was the best course he had ever played, I guess we get spoiled here on the central coast with so many great choices.
Played the new Challenge Course which is a 12 hole par three. This course just opened two weeks ago and is the second out of three new courses to open. I had a great time playing this "Executive course" due to a great variety and incredibely challenging greens. the holes range from a 75 yarder that has a green that is triple tiered to a down hill 232 yarder with a lake on the right. All of the holes are reminicent of the Old Course here with the greens and the natural grass in play. All holes are well bunkered as well. For $16 this was money well spent and I will for sure be back.
Had not played here in several years, remember conditions not so good at the time. Went out as a single at 9 am no problems. Club house, or should I say trailer with no power due to construction is funny but no problem. This course is what it says, a links style course with no sand, hard fairways, and dirt with weeds as rough. I did find the fairways to be in very good shape. I hope they can keep it up with the intense heat they get in the summer. The greens were very slow but true. For the price, I found this to be very enjoyable layout, nothing spectacular but fun. Keep up the good work on the course fellas, I will definitely be back.
Second time this year playing Hunter and it definitely wont be the last. Customer service, very good no problems. Green fees include range balls and use of great practice facility that also includes a cool chipping layout with greens. Weather was incredible got out on time with nobody in front of us at 8:30. My friend is from Texas and was so impressed with the conditions and layout that he said it was the best course he has played in his 30 some years of golf. He was right, very lush fairways, greens very tough to read but firm and fast. Got done in four hours. This course difinitely deserves GK Best course for value award. It will get very hot in the summer so get out now while the weather is perfect. The course did kick my butt today but i will be back for revenge.
Took the afternoon off to get in a late round so i could shake off the rust. Got off as a single right away and only ran into one foursome arounf seven. Breezed through the round in a bout 3 hours walking. I do love this course due to the variety of holes and the scenery. Very peaceful and well maintained for this time of the year. Greens were good, not too fast but always tough to read. Wind was blowing pretty good all day with at least a two club difference. Hd a great front nine and ran out of gas around 14. Not that easy of a walk due to the elevation but it wont kill you. I really enjoy playing here and cant wait for the weather to warm up. great course overall.
OK first let me say that it was the coldest round of golf I have ever played, 40 degrees is not for me. About the course, Front nine is looking pretty good for the cold winter, bunkers decent, tee boxes OK, and greens not bad. Back nine still has temp greens that are not very playable. $21 for round with cart and a dog is not bad, I do like the layout.
Cheese, thats some man crush you have on Oak Quarry, gotta play that some day when I head south.

Made a 0652 tee time saturday morning after the weatherman said partly cloudy and 70. Get up to this area once in a while to visit the mother in law, so decided to play here. Knew it was gonna be a cold wet day while making the drive to the course in a down pour. Rain let up for a couple of holes and then it just poured for about ten holes. Course is very nice with very lush fairways. Green are sloped and undulating, short placement is a must so probably would be better with course knowledge or yardage book. Greens rolled good even with it being pretty wet, some unrepaired ball marks that I fixed but overall good. Not sure if it was just playing in the rain and not taking the time to enjoy but the front nine was kinda bland and I only got in three holes on the back after the club slipped out of my hand on a tee shot and I had enough of being cold and wet. Big elevation change on the back, looked good from what I saw, wish the weather man would have gotten it right. Good ciustomer service, they seemed to have their act together getting people out and making sure the pace stays good. I would come back, when it warms up. Enjoyed the 14 holes I did play.
Played this morning 7:30 single, two guys walking in front of me that waived me through by the 5th hole. Had the rest of the course to my self, Beautiful day on the central coast. I have played here several times since it has opened and I have to say that the conditions right now are incredible. This course is coming in very well, greens are always gonna be hard and fast but thats ok with the links style golf here. The fairways are very lush and the native grass and rough are making this course look and feel like your in Scotland. Cant say how happy I am to see the conditions here improve each month. I would recommend playing fairly early to avoid the wind that whips up around here. Nice staff, all around very good.
Come to the area each summer and try to play here each time. Showed up on the afternoon of 7-17, $35 and got right on. I usually play firecliff but decided to try mountain view, wow what a great round. course has always been in great condition even during the hot summer, with the usual slower greens that make you trust yourself to just hit it firm most of the time. Its a great layout, not overly difficult, but very fun. Played 18 in just over two hours and never saw anyone else on the course. I wish i was playing with someone cause I finally broke 80 with two bogeys and a double on the last three holes for a 79. If I lived here, which someday I may retire to this area, this would be my home course for sure. I cant say enough good things about both 18's.
