Played this morning. We had an 8:45 time and we had a POP of 4 H. And we thank the marshal who was out moving people along. Found the course in great condition. All good tee boxes. Traps were all playable. Fairways were clean provided good lies and decent roll out. Rough was there but it was playable. Greens were in really nice shape. Devoid of divots (great) and were firm and had good speed all round. Sr price of $40 with cart and $24 if you want to walk. New pro shop and restaurant now open available. Customer service great at all levels. Recommended.

Found a good deal here for 11am on Saturday 3/2 as a twosome going out with a single. Since rain was in the forecast the course was fairly empty, but busier than you'd think as it was the only one in the area not doing CPO. Since my last review I'm happy to say I've changed my tune a bit on this place. They finally have a pro shop and apparently a restaurant open again.

Conditions were very, very wet, but beyond that the layout is actually kind of fun but does require good shots. A lot of different hole types and challenging green complexes. Not a course I'd want to play all the time but a fun change of pace. Typically the pace of place here can be brutal but since the weather kept a lot of folks away we finished in about 3.5.

Teeboxes can be a little uneven, fairways had mostly good coverage, bunkers seemed to have sand, and the greens were in very good shape.

Can't wait to go back and play once things dry out

Out with a buddy today, 8/24, playing the whites as twosome with a 12:30 start. I'll keep it brief and say the overall conditions are green and solid tee to green I especially liked the consistency of the coverage on the teeing grounds. One could quibble that the bunkers had soft layer over a harder base, but the ball tended to sit up and I actually had a decent day playing out of more bunkers than I usually visit. The greens ran the fast end of medium, were in good shape, and a fun challenge as to contours.

The day was not cool, but there was a nice breeze that worked with your sweat to keep things comfortable. The course was busy overall, but we started in a pocket of our own with space ahead and behind, and had minor delays only into the back nine. We were not exactly keeping a torrid pace, so I was surprised at the end that we got around in about 3.75 hrs. Nice. It's an interesting, fun layout with some quirks in a beautiful canyon setting. Recommended.

Back when my buddy made the 1:30 tee time for Thursday 5/4 we were oblivious to the weather reports. But when we saw some and it seemed the rain might be done by late morning, we opted to proceed. It was fine during warm up but a final 15 minute squall just as we were heading for the first tee delayed our start. Once out we happily discovered the conditions were very good all around despite the earlier rains. The course drained well and I was hard pressed to find overly saturated areas, much less standing water. The 11th tee box stood out as an exception — saturated and soggy but level with nice coverage, so it was manageable. Otherwise, from tees through the greens the grass coverage was solid, nicer than any muni I've been on recently and it was all appropriate length. With minor exceptions the tees were level. The rough was pretty consistent both as to length and being playable. I missed the bunkers and can't report much but I did notice some standing water in at least one in passing. Green side areas were good for short game. The greens handled the wet very well and were on the quick side. As a matter of fact, we were on the practice green putting DURING our rain delay to kill time and the balls rolled quickly — accelerating seemingly inordinately on what appeared to be gentle slopes, it amplified the contours of the greens and made them a bit tricky. It took a little adjustment but they were a fair and interesting challenge that got your attention. The course was lightly populated and with any breeze minimal at best, there was a sense of stillness to the area. We let another twosome that showed up as we were commencing go out ahead of us. They sped off and the closest anyone got behind us was a little over a hole for a few. Mostly we were on our own, getting around in a little over four hours. I find the setting to be one of the more scenic foothill canyons and the post-rain clouds added more drama to the views. The course has some quirky holes but I think the overall layout is solid and interesting. All told, I found it one of the more enjoyable rounds I've played in a while, and not because I had especially good scoring results (which I didn't). Definitely recommended.

Played this morning. Course in great shape especially greens.

Pace was relaxed 4.5 hours but that's an early teetime.

Been looking forward to check this one out for a while and if it were up to me it'll be a one and done experience. No amenities to speak of, starter "pro shop" is in a converted shipping container, no real food/drink options unless you count the taco stand by the third tee (on weekends only?). No full range, just a small warm up cage. On the good end, they have a couple of nice practice greens that are true to what's on the course. Teed off as a foursome at 1 and were waiting on practically every shot. Folks in front of us were awful and the folks behind us were drunk and flipped their cart over on the 17th green, but after greeting the marshal on the second hole didn't see him again after. POP wound up around 5.25 hours. Course itself reminds me of a longer Debell, which is basically your standard hillside course with narrow tree-lined fairways, lots of OB opportunities if you're not precise with your shots, elevation changes, tricky uneven lies, tiered greens, etc. Also have to contend with power lines and other unsightly obstructions. If you're not hitting them straight here you're in for a long day. Fairways are in average shape, some thin and bare areas, and if you hit a poor shot, or even a good shot that bounces or rolls out the wrong way, you'll undoubtedly find yourself up against a tree at some point. The bunkers are also in poor shape, with thin to no sand, and full of rocks, but the views around the course are nice, the greens are really nice, soft and receptive and rolling on the slow side, and some of the holes especially on the back 9 are fun, but not a place i'd make the trip out to again

My tee time was 7.30 am place of play was 4 hours 20 minutes . Greens are in great shape fairways have some areas that could need more grass but overall not bad. Course maintenance on tee boxes they are getting punched so you will be playing long or short on the box. Sand Traps I have no idea when you go into a trap you should not clean up after yourself many privileged golfers did not clean up after there shot gladly I was avoiding bunkers. I played as a senior mid week cost for me was $40 cheaper if you walk. Place is busy but a challenge hard to get a even lie---I recommend this golf course at this time....

Played this morning. Easy check in with shop and Mark the starter had everything running smooth. To bad the marshal did not have the same enthusiasm in moving groups along. The four elderly walkers who are too cheap to take a cart, were 1 and sometimes 1.5 holes behind. Its a shame that people who want an early tee time are so forgetful of the people behind them. Course is in nice shape at present. They have a reclaiming system that returns the water back to the ponds and have kept the course nice and green. You will find some dry areas but they are mostly outside of the fairways, which are in good shape both in run out and lies. Tee boxes were all fine. Bunkers could use some work and players should be more responsible in using the rakes (they don't bite). Very little rough to deal with but when you find it it is penalizing. Not to mention the lakes, culverts, many OB areas along many fairways that one has to deal with if faced with errant tee shots. Greens were in great shape. Chipped, putted, held and released shots nicely. And devoid of divots and nice to see that players are repairing those. $40 Sr rate at present is IMO a very good deal for golf/cart in todays ever increasing golf fees by many courses. No problem with recommending this course. But it is busy so get an early tee time. Also that part of the LA basin seems to get light very early compared to other parts of LA, OC counties. In fact when we arrived at 5:30 players were already lining up for carts and some even taking off in the dark.

Had a chance to play this course in a tourney a couple of weeks ago. I thought I had played all of the Los Angeles golf course and lo and behold, I missed this one.

The layout did not suit my eye that much but I was playing well so I was able to overcome holes that would normally give me trouble, namely the holes that required less than driver off the tee.

Greens were a bit deceptive in that you could knock them well by the hole if you were above it but took a good stroke if you were below the hole.

I probably would not play it again because of the drive and the fact that you only use the driver a few times.

The condition of the golf course was pleasantly surprising.
