Visually beautiful course with wonderful views from many of the tees. Front nine is challenging with several carried over ravines. Back nine easier with few tree and water only on 18. Greens are very firm, very fast, with some contour. Some traps have good fluffy sand, some have harder, grainier sand. Some wet spots on fairways and first two hole and 18 were cart path only.

Played this morning. Greens are in terrible shape. Aerated recently but that's not the biggest problem. Either they have not been mowed or some foreign strain of grass has invaded. Greens are blotchy and spotty, look like a map of South Pacific islands. Very slow, erratic, with ball jumping all over the place.

1:30 tee time on a Saturday, finished in 3-1/2 hours. Fun little course with three or four holes on which you can hit driver. Lot of traps, mature trees on the front nine. Greens had been punched and sanded and were still uneven, pretty hard, and pretty fast. Some bare spots on the fairways. Tee boxes were really hard...take a hammer along to drive you tee into the ground.
Traps were OK. Sand a bit thin and pretty hard; no lip one many bunkers so putting out can be a viable option.
Take a ball retriever and you can fish out a half dozen on 13 and 14.
For $24 it's a fun afternoon.

Newly re-opened. Greens were just aerated and are very bumpy. Some contour but nothing crazy. Course is much shorter than it used to be, about 3100 yards from the blue tees. Traps are in good shape but a bit wet when we started. A mix of mature and newly planted trees but pretty wide open. Water comes into play on a few holes, particularly #12 where it's hidden from view.
Overall a good place to practice short game. Longest of the five par 4's is 380 yds.

Shotgun start for a charity scramble tournament on a Friday afternoon. Pace of play slow because the event type but course is in great shape considering the drought and hot weather. Fairways very nice with no bare spots, greens are great but got bumpy by the end of the afternoon. Challenging course with some strategically placed trees and bunkers that put a premium on shot placement.

8:00 am tee time on a Wednesday. Lot of rain yesterday so the course was "cart path only" on all holes, but we still finished in 4:15. Grass on fairways is coming in nicely, rough was really long since it hasn't been mowed in several days.

Aerating and sanding of greens started this morning. Doing half the green at a time which seems reasonable, but putting through loose sand is pure guesswork. And pitch shots that land on the loose sand die immediately.

Quiet Wednesday so we got out before our 9:28 tee time. First time I've played this course and I was surprised at the hills and contours. Tee boxes are all level and well maintained. Fairways are generally wide with generous landing zones. Sand in traps was wet but probably very soft and fluffy when dry. Greens still had some aeration marks that did not affect speed or roll. Several shots over water. I found this course very challenging. We got a promotional discount so the round was worth every cent we paid. Finished in four hours easily with a foursome ahead of us and no one behind us.

Teed off on time at 10:00 am on a Friday and finished in 4-1/4 hours. Greens had been aerated about two weeks ago and were still quite bumpy and very, very slow. Course is very flat with a few forced carries, one hole where water comes in to play. Fairways are wide but trees at margins can provide obstacles. Grass is still in good shape despite drought, tee boxes are level and grassy. Sand in traps is pretty thin and hard, chipping off the sand may be better than a conventional explosion shot.
Orange County Golf Trail card made the cost reasonable.

Played 4/8/15. New owners have improved drainage and although it had rained the night before the course was in pretty good shape with a few muddy spots in the rough. Overall the fairways are much improved with grass now growing where there used to be bare spots.
Sand in the traps was wet and heavy and trying to explode the ball out was an exercise in futility.
Greens had been aerated and sanded on the front half. Sand was quite thick in some spots which really affected approach shots.
Pin placements were horrible on four greens. Holes were placed on steep parts of slopes or bowls and lag putts to within a foot didn't hold and rolled 15-20 feet away. Not a fair test of golf unless they add windmills and clowns.
But with the $32 special ongoing (green fees, cart, lunch, two beverages) I can't complain.

Played on 3/17 at 8:30 am. Course is in excellent shape and mud reported by other reviewers was not an issue. Rough is quite heavy in some area, lost two balls in the long, shaggy stuff. Sand traps were inconsistent; some were OK, others were hard and shallow. Many greens were micro-punched and sanded but still rolled true. Tee boxes were all well maintained.

You will walk a lot on this course, even with a cart. Several holes are cart path only and many of the fairways and greens are bowl-shaped, requiring a walk down from the cart and back up. Others require a decent walk from cart path to tee. My pedometer logged 4 miles and I'll bet a quarter of that was uphill. Not complaining, just sayin' you need to be aware.

Finished round in 4.5 hours. Very nice facility, wish I could afford to play here more often.

Course is in bad shape due to the drought and recent rains. They are doing a lot of work to improve things but have a long way to go. Fairways are either thin or muddy with lots of bare spots; even if you play "lift, clean, and play" its hard to find a decent lie. Tee boxes and greens are fine.
It appears that most of the work to install drains has been done as there were no open trenches on the course. But I hope the work they've done is more effective than today's conditions show.
Drainage and sand in some of the traps is much improved.

Great course for practice. 3-1/2 hour round at senior rate makes it a great bargain. Best news is that bunkers now have sand instead of mud and dirt, makes sand saves a real possibility. Some thin spots on fairways but greens generally in good shape although some have been lightly sanded recently.
