1st time I've played it since it's had all 18 holes open. Looked great, great value for the price, especially if you are used to playing Muni courses. Always willing to pay a little extra for such good conditions.

overall, the course is playing good. there are some bare spots in rough, but the greens are rolling their best in months. a little slow getting around, 5 hours, but definitely worth playing.

Great place to play. Fairways are some of the best around. After two holes the group in front of us was two holes behind. We went around. Haven' seen a marshal on the course in . . . ever.

The longest round of the year. Over 5 and 1/2 hours. Had as many as four groups on some par threes waiting to tee off. Not one marshal in sight. Staff didn't seem to care much about either. Hope this ... Continue »

The longest round of the year. Over 5 and 1/2 hours. Had as many as four groups on some par threes waiting to tee off. Not one marshal in sight. Staff didn't seem to care much about either. Hope this is not a trend. I really like this course but not at that pace. Put some marshals out on the course!!!

Hadn't played this for some time and was very disappointed in anything other than the main part of the fairways. and greens. Rough was very spotty and uneven with most lies being between clumps of grass and lying on bare dirt. The bunkers had enough rocks that I really didn't want to hit out from them due to possible club damage. This day was the best reason that I can think of to keep an old set of "kick around" clubs as a back up to the "good" set I normally play without worry. Good layout but the conditioning leaves a lot to be desired

GREAT COURSE FOR THINKING ABOUT SHOTS. ALWAYS IN GOOD CONDITION

Played the course on 8/23/05 it was in great shape. This is still the best course for your money. It looks tame with its wide open fairways but it can jump up and bite you. The greens are hard to read... Continue »

Played the course on 8/23/05 it was in great shape. This is still the best course for your money. It looks tame with its wide open fairways but it can jump up and bite you. The greens are hard to read and harder too putt. Great course play it soon.

First played Rustic Canyon (RC) when it opened and it left little to no impression. Perhaps it was overSHADOWed by its brawny neighbor, Lost Canyons (LC) located down the 118. Eventually, I grew tired... Continue »

First played Rustic Canyon (RC) when it opened and it left little to no impression. Perhaps it was overSHADOWed by its brawny neighbor, Lost Canyons (LC) located down the 118. Eventually, I grew tired of LC's steep price and profound difficulty. Returned to RC last week with some concern about storm damage. I must say I was impressed by its conditions. I had forgotten how the RC layout retains the grittiness of a true Scottish links course transplanted into a SoCal environment. It lacks the refinement of some overly polished courses in appearance but that is not a bad thing for most true links have that quality. RC also maintains a decent amount of difficulty with its expansive mounded greens with generous aprons, chaparral carries and cagey pot bunkers.

The lack of development encroaching onto the course was refreshing - even LC has one of their 18's stymied by housing developments.

Very high marks for RC after a long sabbatical. However, very low marks for the amount of time it took to play the course. A combination of affordability and difficulty for the average golfer adds up to a 5+ hour round.
