the good: teed off 12:15 and finished a little over 3 hours...the bad: bumpy greens, very soft and severely affected putts, i saw my playing partner's ball take a vertical hop about 3 inches off the ground...needless to say the greens weren't at their best...fairways were very thin, had alot of "bad" lies from the fairways which never is a good thing...and oh yes having the marshall questioning why i was playing the "jack's blacks" tees wasn't very nice...he claimed you have to register in the proshop that your a "5" handicap or lower in order to play from there...needless i've played over 100 rounds at this course in my life and i've never heard of such nonsense...usually marshalls and staff are very nice here...except this one! at a competitive golfer and +2 handicap it was just a little annoying at the time...will be back but not soon

Played yesterday afternoon. It was a hot day. Not many people teeing off when i teed off, but we caught up to a log jam on hole 9. Didnt want to follow the slow group(s) so ended up playing the front nine twice. Course is in decent shape considering all the heat we've been getting. Greens alittle bumpy, but rolls good, fairways alittle dried out and not much rough. Bunkers are crusty on top, but pretty good. No cart girl today but saw many drinking fountains. The water in those fountains is the worst tasting water.

Played on Friday the 19th, very slow play, course is not in very good condition. Alot of bare spots to avoid. The one good thing is the customer service.

Really interesting course. Lots of elevation change. Extremely long if playing from the tips (7600+). Tee boxes were in good condition for the blues, whites, and reds. Black tee boxes were spotty due to lack of golfers using them. Fairways were in good condition. The course is fairly open for driving, not too many trees lining the fairways. Greens were soft and held shots great, but became more and more bumpy as the day wore on. Definitely worth the green fee and would play again.

Played Los Serranos today and teed off 09:40 with no wait in front of us. Played as a twosome and finished up at 1:00. A single behind us, but we let him play through on 4 or 5 then saw no one else the whole round. Greens were in great shape, but the fairways left a bit to be desired. Would be nice to see the fairways fill in with some decent grass. Can't complain too much as we got a GREAT rate. Good day on the course.

Was back out at Los Serranos South today, June 28th. We teed off at noon and finished at 4:20pm. Round was quick even though we caught up to a SUPER SLOW foursome at the 12th. Wind came up just a little and that made it both challenging and fun (at least when playing downwind) and it cooled us down since it was about 85 degrees out there. Greens were in better condition than when I played a month ago. Still love the layout - it's definitely a power hitter's course...just rip driver on every par 4 or 5 (except #7). Fairways, tee boxes, rough, and bunkers were in good shape too. My next round will be on the North course...dying to give it a try.

Played here on Thursday (06/02) to finish collecting on the birthday swag - thanks again GK. Tee'd off in the afternoon at 3:00 PM for a nice twilight rate for my buddies at $25.00 including cart. Birthday boy was complimentary! Decided to play the longer of the two courses (South) and it was in great shape heading into the summer.

This Par 74 course plays about 7300 yards from the blue and offers a slope rating of about 134. Not the easiest of tracks but, it's wide fairways compensates for the long yardage - especially those that like to really put their woods to work!

Hole #1 and #2 are Par 5's and birds are very likely if you can keep it somewhere down the middle. Wide greens can add confidence when looking to land their third shot. Pin placements on these two holes have always been generous with minimal protection from bunkers. The greens are relatively flat with virtually no undulation.

The course is in great shape. Aerification was performed about 3-months ago and the greens have healed and are rolling medium to medium/fast. I still don't understand why people don't fix their own ball marks! Fairways are nice and tight and will allow for some decent roll. Bunkers have nice fluffy sand were actually raked each time I landed in the beach.

Seems most (if not all) of the construction is finished. Fairways and rough were nice and green (with minimal browning) which, shows me their irrigation system is being used! You can score on the back 9 because it seems easier IMO.

No beverage cart attendant but, there is a nice snack bar before the turn. I always recommend loading up on snacks before the round because most courses are cutting back due to the economy. Pace was alright and we finished the round in just about 4-1/2 hours.

Overall, a great day. 54-holes of complimentary golf in 3-days. Probably the best birthday round(s) I have ever experienced. I can't say enough how valuable this site has been in terms of maintenance alerts, member reviews and the birthday round list!

Take advantage of the swag. Heck, I even got free ice cream from Baskin Robbins to top it all off.

Played Saturday, May 28th. This was my first time playing Los Serranos (we played the South) and it was awesome!!! I am a huge fan of "old school" golf courses that are well maintained and Los Serranos did not disappoint. The greens were excellent - rolled smooth on nearly every putt (unless you were putting into the grain) and they held too. Fairways and tee boxes were in good shape. Sand traps were decent. However, I hit one tee shot into a trap but there wasn't any rake near the trap...weird. Lots of footprints in the sandtraps as well...PEOPLE - RAKE YOUR SH*T!!! Now for my thoughts on the course layout and design. We played blue tees and it's almost 7200 yds - YIKES. Don't worry because there are 6 par 5's and it's a par 74 - so it doesn't play as long as you may think. Our round took 4hr40min and we played behind a fivesome - I was pleasantly surprised. There isn't trouble off the tee at this course - you can spray it all over the place and find your ball. This was nice because the wind was really howling and whipping all over the place - hole 15 (par 4 about 390 yds) played uphill and into the wind...made the hole about 475 yds. But on hole 16 (par 5 about 520yds) played with the wind and I had driver, 7 iron into the green...AND WAS LONG!!! Even though it was super windy, I had so much fun playing this course. It's up there with being one of my favorites...and for the price, I'll be back at Los Serranos very soon and very often.

The guys in the pro shop are the worst. Never in a good mood. Simply went to practice, and the few minutes i was in the pro shop were even unpleasant. They seem like they don't want customers. It's like you're bothering them. I say we boycott this course until they restaff the pro shop with some decent guys. Anyone agree??
