Went to play at yucaipa 5/25 for a gk match . first time there.I had read all the bad reviews about this course, but it turned out to be better than I had expected. The practice area is pretty nice, the mats seem to be new. Practice greens were great. The tee boxes were in bad shape.. fairways were decent in most spots, a lot of bare areas, bunkers were rocky. Greens were mostly nice,a lot of ball marks. A few greens were bumpy. Golf carts are really slow. Not many yardage markers. Sprinklers were hard to find specially marked ones. I would play here again but only if it was under 25$

Played golf yesterday and was not aware that they had just aerated the greens. Course is still fun, but if you like good greens, I would wait a few weeks before playing there. When the greens are back, they are some of the toughest in the area.

Played here on 01/10/14 as a last resort.. I would of been better off staying home. POP as always was horrible, and the course is not in good shape to top it off.. ended up playing the front 9 twice. Rocks in bunkers, greens beat up pretty good.. just not an enjoyable outing at all. No plans on going back.

First thing I noticed driving up is the new clubhouse they are building, more on that later.
I really enjoy the layout here, good amount of water hazards, good placement of the bunkers and great design of the greens, but overall I come away disappointed more often than not.
On the first hole I hit a horrible approach shot into the bunker, just as I was digging in to hit my shot, I noticed a rock about the same size as two fingers on your hand, right in front of my ball. The bunkers here have plenty of sand now since the last review, and plenty of rocks, mostly the size of small-medium size marbles. I was in at least 3 bunkers and they were all like this, good sand, full of rocks.
T's are not over seeded, dormant, with signs of thinness and bareness coming through already.
Fairways are dormant with OK lies, I was probably being over generous when I rated them a 6.
Greens are running medium-ish speed, I did notice some fungus issues on at least one green, #2 comes to mind, great design though.
5+ hour pace, thankfully the holidays are over, waited on every shot but not to long. The guys ahead of us, liked to park between their balls, good if it was only 20 yards, bad if it was 80. How about drop your partner off at his ball, go to yours and hit, return and pick up your partner? Just a suggestion. Marshall came out around the 5th hole and pace picked up, so thanks for that, but it was pretty packed with no real relief.
The rough around the greens are not over seeded, it looks like this- a fist size clump of grass, followed by a few inches of thin grass, than another fist size clump x 100, not ideal for chipping.
I am not a big clubhouse type of guy and I couldn't help but think, why are they spending money on a clubhouse, when that money is sorely being missed on the maintenance of the course.

Played in a tournament today and had pretty miserable weather. Temps in the low to mid 50s with drizzle for our entire round.
The course was in passable shape at the moment. Tee boxes and fairways were both dormant and the fairways gave quite a bit of roll even in the wet conditions. Fairways also had a mottled green and brown look. The surface was actually pretty good most of the time it just wasn't very nice to look at. Rough was patchy and you never knew if you were going to get a lush patch or a spot where your ball would settle down to dirt. Bunkers were extremely thin. Maybe 1/4" of decent sand before you hit the compacted stuff. Greens were probably the best part of the course. They were rolling really well and the only problems were unrepaired divots and some spike marks.
Yucaipa is a decent place if the price is right ($35-40 seems about right), but it's far from the most interesting option in the area.

Disappointing round - The greens are in horrible shape, very uncharacteristic for this course usually the fairways are the problem, but the greens are in bad shape. Pace of play was horrible, tournament with 5 fivesomes ahead of us, supposed to be playing best ball, but started playing their own balls. Had to wait up to 10 minutes between shots, ridiculous.

Played 8-11-13. Course has improved quite a bit in the past month or so. Still some dead areas in the fairways and traps were wet but greens held very well. Speed on greens was slow but sped up as the day went on. Still not a top notch course but a fun round with some great views of the mtns. Internet special was only $29 so its well worth the price. Saw cart girl at least 4 times and she went back to the clubhouse to make a sandwich for us when she didn't have what we wanted.

Played 8/11 with another GKer. Our tee time was at 12:04 but they got us out at 11!! I have to say the entire staff was absolutely wonderful today: smiling, friendly, helpful- perhaps the best overall of anywhere I've played! The course is in great condition esp for August! There are a few troubled spots on the fringe of some fairways where the grass is clumpy and a few other spots where it was downright soggy but overall the fairways were really nice with no bad lies. The greens were well cared for and held very well but were a bit on the slow side. Some of the rough was so thick and dense as to be brutal!! The sand could have used a good fluffing and was pretty wet overall. Saw the cart girl Britney twice on the front and three times on the back. She was super! They didn't have any veggie sandwiches on the cart. She told us to stop on the turn and she'd have them make me one. There wasn't one in the clubhouse at the turn either so I forgot about it. She caught up with us on the 11th, found out I didn't get a sandwich, and immediately went back to the clubhouse and brought me one out! Now THAT is service!! Used their course site and got a great deal - $29 at noon on a Sunday with a cart.

Played here 8/11 for an excellent rate on $38 off their website. Went out as a foursome at 6:15am and finished in just over four hours. Could have been much quicker but two in our group are slow players. As for the course conditions, besides being wet heavily watered overnight everything else was near perfect. My only complaint was that the greens were a little too soft for my liking but they putted well. Customer service was great and, as always, the scenery in the clubhouse was very nice. Don't know if I can find a better value right now than Yucaipa.
