Fun round Saturday a little over 4 hours. Most greens in fair shape, a couple still hurting. Sand in some green-side bunkers, fairway bunkers mostly hard packed dirt. Fairways thick enough for a playable lie. Around greens also hit and miss some very nice, some fairly rough. Not the most lush course for sure, but for those that are not looking for high scale golf it is a fun little course. Just enough variety in the holes to make it fun and worth the fare. We play here about 5 times a year and love the low number of putts on the card because of the mostly small greens. On a good day you can beat your handicap fairly easy, and on a bad day it can get you.

Yucaipa Vally in about the best shape it has been in sense opening 21 years ago. We played Monday and even being Cart Path only for awhile found the course way worth the fare (seniors rate) Enough grass in fairways to have good lies, OK sand traps hit and mostly miss, and the greens were in good shape but of course the cold weather made them hard as a freeway, and being on the quick side there were some very unforgiving putts. About 4 hours 20 minutes around just seems like more as there are a lot of the younger men out there playing the blues and blacks that hit it a mile so par 5's are a bit of a wait as they are going in two (and mostly missing) and a few too many extra hits off the tee. (common kids take the penalty and move on). Recommend this place for Seniors and playing the Red Tees is not uncommon and welcome.

We played the other day and had nothing but fun on this course that combines several plain straight away holes and several tricky shot holes. Can say I love the dormant Bermuda grass fairways as they have great fairway coverage (can imagine how great this course would be if they could afford a full winter over seed). Still wonder about hole #13 a 400 plus par 4 from the white tees and a small landing area next to water at the green, they have well over 150 yards of flat ground behind the tee box's and could easily made it a par 5? (course is a par 70). Greens were also in very good shape, and sand, oh boy that soft powdery sand in green side bunkers what fun when you almost NEVER get to practice or play out of them. For us the drive is a bit tough or we would certainly play here more. I would think this is a course you play once and say I got to do that again because breaking 80 or shooting a 100 are both possible.

Played Native Oaks on Thanksgiving. Always play here when we are in Valley Center. The course gets better every time we play, they are really working on it from when it was Woods Valley. One neat thing is the driving range, all grass last year is now off new mats and features radar on most so you can pretend your a pro and get readings on all you shots. Greens were not very fast and with the exception of 3 on the back nine in good shape. Fairway lies real good, rough was OK, some areas were pure dormant bermuda and a little hard to find your ball in. Back nine is one of the most fun out there and features some really neat (and short) par 4's ending with a long par 5 eighteenth.

Played last week, course much better shape than when we played it in June. Lots of fun holes, maybe plays a little long from White Tees. As this was the day before Thanksgiving course was really booked up but we still finished in 4 hours 20 minutes, starting at 11:30. Fairway lies good, greens a good quick speed. Bunkers, what can you say a public course some very nice around greens, fairway bunkers as bad as everywhere (when they going to learn to fill in bunkers with sod, knock down any lips and make most fairway bunkers grass bunkers make them playable for everyone and speed up play). Some, not all, green-side bunkers were the soft deep white sand which takes, well a real bunker shot to get out. Will go back again as it was a challenge and fun to play.

Played this week at Arrowhead CC and just as I had said 2 months ago all that Grab Grass that gave us lies in the fairway is dead and the dormant Bermuda leaves fairway lies if not on a bit of weed or some sparse rye grass dirt. Greens were mostly OK, some still needing repair. One positive was some, not all the bunkers, have been taken care of and are really nice with others almost non-playable. Fingers crossed they do some Bermuda over seed in March or April and get some cushion back in the fairways. As long as your willing to move your ball a little it is still a fun course to play if you only play as it lies you may want to go somewhere else.

Played twice this week at Mojave Resort, course is in great shape all around, even bunkers tho sand is some kind of powdery dirt, but very playable. Worth the $80 during the week, I played Sunday afternoon after one and never ran into anyone else on the course, 3 cars in the parking lot at 4:00 after 2 hours and 30 minutes playing when I left. Rough was a little high so balls could get lost in the dry Bermuda grass. Tee box's, fairways all full from overseed. Tee box's were still a bit too high so had to tee up a bit more than I like on 3 pars. Played a second round 2 days later staring in the morning with some other players they all agreed the place was in great shape. Recommend if you hit Laughlin play MoJave and Laughlin Ranch, steer clear of Las Logos they are still looking and playing rough.

Nice city public course right behind Boulder Creek Course. As the day before we played in a 6 person scramble. The course played a little long because fairways were wet and we got almost zero roll. Tee boxes were excellent and fairways had plenty of coverage, sand traps looked good also but we did not have to play out of any of them. Not up to the scale of their neighbor Boulder Creek but as good as most well played public courses in California. You know how scrambles go that A player better be a real A player, ours got his first C I guess, but we did make it through without a 6 person bogey.

Played in a huge 6 man scramble tournament (300 players) 9/19. Greens were not healed yet so putting was off some. Fairways as always in good shape, plenty of coverage, Rough was down for the most part so finding and playing balls not to difficult. One group was 19 under from the White tees pretty fair I thought. The course is right out in the open with no houses around and features 27 holes and a great practice, all on grass, area. The course usually has a good wind blowing ac cross it which can make some holes very long, we were lucky only had the wind up on the last 4 holes.

Wife and I finally made it to Goose Creek. Course was very nice, fairways full of good grass and greens putting so true we both shot better than our handicaps. Sand traps around the greens and most fairways were well taken care of and full of softer sand than most all the public courses we play in the Inland Empire. Playing the white (3) tee boxes I found the course to be on the easy side, and my wife playing a combo of (1) and (2) tee boxes also found the course much easier than say Yucapia Valley or Rancho Del Sol. A practice area that could be the best around was a pleasure to discover, only hitting off mats on driving range is never worth the effort. Pitching and chipping along with plenty of putting greens was super. Carts were newer and very nice with good GPS to the flags and set correctly for the days pins was great. Course is super clean and maintained as good or better than most. Beverage cart was around twice on front and back. All in all a GREAT place to play..and we were VERY happy to putt on greens that were as true as you could read. Number 17 and 18 all of a sudden are hard, with 18 being unfairly hard, you par or better 18 from white or blue and your a good golfer.

Just played San Vicente Golf Resort 8/17. Beautiful setting, course is in very good shape, excellent tee box's, plenty of nice fluffy lies in fairways (wide also) rough not very high, sand traps excellent with lots of sand. Outstanding chipping areas around greens maybe a little tight for some but not the hit and miss we have at most public courses. Greens were very good and ran just fast enough to make a very noticeable difference in up hill and down hill speeds. Many greens had undulations making some tricky putting. A course I would think anyone will walk away from knowing the next time I will know where it hit on the green and a course where taking a second to plan your shot will pay off. Would have to rate this course as good as any out in the Palm Desert Area.

Played chalk Mountain 7/13 at 10:30 $52 to ride. Played by myself so had the course to myself most of the day. Nice fairways for sure, ball sits so nice the 3 wood even got in the air. Not much rough but unplayable vegetation off many fairways. I had played here 10 years ago and can say it is a lot nicer now. Fun holes and a lot of up hill, side hill challenges. Bunkers were not the best but playable. A couple of holes need to drive up on and find the right green for sure before you tee off if your new there. My best shot hit the pin and stopped by hole, just wrong green, that was hole #12, that one needs a little look see before you tee off. I was very happy with the course conditions as I did not expect them to be as good as they are.,
