Hit up Los Serranos with the boys for a 936am Tee Time. We played the South because the North looks like its getting punched. Course and range were busy.

Range and putting green were open. The chipping area is such an after thought that you could chip golf balls off your floor mats in the parking lot and get a better work out .

Tee Boxes, Tee boxes were good and in good condition.

Fairways, fairways were also in good condition. Although I missed enough of them there could
have been a sink hole on some and I would have never known. ( f&*King driver!)

Rough, rough is doable, if you play a lot of the county courses the rough is similar and the kikuyu was like Griffith so it was like being at home.

Bunkers, they have them there? I kid I kid, I stayed out of them but my buddies were in there and the sand was dry and prewet summer traps with no rake love.

Greens, hmmmm. They were good and bad. A couple of holes like #4 needed to be blown off. there were lots of leaves, sticks, pollen and all other tree barf on it. The greens were watered and wet but the foot traffic around the cups made the ball hop a lot or changes the speed that some putts were missed that are usually made. The greens were true but a little slow. They did look pretty good considering the traffic.

Los Serranos is generally one of the best value courses. Last year for 35/40 we played there a lot. Today it was 57 to ride which kinda sucks. I miss the pre Covid round pricing. Snack Shack was open and it was warm so it was nice to have that available. POP was 4 1/2 today.

Played Tuesday Sept 1st, used my free birthday round but since it was 6 days before my birthday had to pay the $15 cart fee. We played the golds again as we really like the course from these tees for us, course was in good shape, very wet as they were soaking it getting ready for this heat spell, POP was 4:15, 2 four sones in front of us definitely were a bit slow as the course was open in from of them. Greens very soft and repaired not only ours but many ball marks, why not, couldn't go any where because of the pace, LOL putting green open with 4 holes, driving range always closed for maintenance early tues morning, restaurant still not open until 8am???????

Played with my monthly club EARLY, 6:26am on Saturday, 8/8/20, on a clear day that warmed up quickly. The course was pretty wet to start with but dried out on the back nine. COVID protections in place with masks near clubhouse, outside food service only, limited people in the shop at one time, and the starter gives you a cleaned pen to sign in!

Course is in good summer shape right now – greens are pretty lush, held shots and rolled well at medium+ speed. Tees were level and fine. Sand had been machine groomed and it looked like it was adequate to play from, although pretty damp. Fairways/rough were a little less consistent – most fairways were fine and lies were good, but there are many scattered areas of differing grasses or pretty much bare. Some rough areas are mushy wet and/or have some tall grass scattered about.

Didn’t get there in time to hit balls. Putting green open but no pins in the cups. No ranger; snack bar on #7 tee open. No water available on the course. Single carts were available for no additional fee if you wanted one.

Our club plays here every August and conditions now are good compared to many previous years. I see the course is managed by JC Golf now. Almost no wind today, which really makes for a different feel than many years in the past – makes a big difference in club selection and strategy. That darn kikuyu will get you, though. Groomed tight it can be very playable (see Black Gold GC), but in many places here the course lets it grow lush and deep and it just feather-pillows the ball when you hit into it.

Recommended.

Played Tues Aug 4th at 6:58. Got out on time. Played the golds. Course was busy and we waited every shot POP was 4:19 course is in pretty good shape with exception of the bunkers, they should be played as ground under repair. Course was very wet in the morning anticipating the heat, but when the sun came out around 10 the greens got a little quicker. The greens are showing some abuse as they are soft with many ball marks. We play here alot as we have the week day card and riding is $37 senior. It is a good deal and that is why they are always so busy here.

Played here today with a 12:50 tee time direct from the course's website for $37. My first round since March. I'd purchased a new driver during quarantine, and I couldn't think of many better courses to put a new driver to the test. Course was busy but the staff collectively did a good job checking me in and getting me out on the course on time. As a single, I got my own cart, so we had 3 carts for my foursome. No extra charge for single-rider cart. COVID stuff: Most everyone I saw around the clubhouse seemed to comply with mask requirements, but on the course was a different story. Barely anyone wearing a mask on the course. POP was decent and would've been right at four and a half hours, but something log-jammed everything on 18 and we had to wait about an extra 10 minutes or so to tee off. So total POP was probably around 4:35-4:40.

Conditions are decent. Greens are smooth but medium-slow and perhaps too soft. Maybe it's due to the heat they have to keep them really watered, but they'd play better and roll faster if they weren't so soft. Fairways had good, somewhat thin coverage and not much visual definition between fairway and rough. Rough was cut short but just more scruffy than the fairways. Bunkers were a mixed bag; some good, some crusty, some thin. Tee boxes were decent but tended to be a mix of grasses and cuts. Overall, gave the greens a 7 and everything else a 5.

Recommended, but glad I didn't pay $55 or whatever their morning rates are right now.

Played Tues Jul 14th at 6:58 got out on time, playing the golds
Tee - all level in good shape
Fairways - green with very few brown spots
Rough - nof to penal close to the fairway, get farther off and you get weeds and bare spots
Traps - hard pan dirt and wet sand
Greens - were very clean, very receptive always a ball mark to repair and rolled very true, big improvement from 2 weeks ago
POP 4:14 Waited ever shot
Side note, got my 200th birdie today, I know not much compared to others but cool to achieve

Played Tues june 16th at 7:02 got out behind a 4 some playing the blues who were fairly short off the tee, but i must say they played really fast. We are an older 4 some so we decided to try something different and play the gold tees instead of the whites. I must say it was a pleasant experience, you save 543 yards on the front 9 and only 118 yards on the back nine and the golds still play 6085 yards. I was pretty relaxed the front 9 as i started with 9 straight pars and shot 37. I had 7 GIR's and it was nice to have a short iron into the greens. Since you didn't save as much yardage on the back your approach shot was a little longer. Course was in good shape, greens rolled real nice, bunkers were so, so, as usual, in fact i was it bunkers at 10 and 12 and took me 3 to get out both times for a tripke on both. That kind of messed up my score but still shot 85. Check in was quick and was very, very happy to see one of the check in guys without a mask. Planning on playing LS south in 2 weeks and we will play the golds again. Don't be put off by playing the golds if you are shorter off the tee, OR you play this course and shoot over 100. It is much more FUN to shoot 85 than 100.

Played yesterday after 10am. Check in was easy, credit cards only. Practice range is open. Able to to tee off 5 minutes before scheduled tee time. They were short on carts, so we rode in pairs.

Played yesterday after 10am. Check in was easy, credit cards only. Practice range is open. Able to to tee off 5 minutes before scheduled tee time. They were short on carts, so we rode in pairs.

Course overall was in very good condition. Best green conditions I have seen for this course. There were some tee boxes that were rough, especially the par 3s. Long Par 5 on hole 8 shortened due to original tee box being repaired, so tee box moved on other side of water hazard, making it possible to reach green in 2 shots.

POP was about 4.5 hours. Started to bunch up at the 4th hole, no marshall on the course. Pace quickened after the 9th hole.

The snack shop was open, but CC only with mandatory 15% Tip added.
