Early morning weekend round in 4.5 hours. The staff is always really great here but other than the carts that's about it. We had not played here in quite awhile after the last visit. The practice facilities are adequate and located close to the clubhouse. The carts are probably the most comfortable of any I've ridden in recently. They do have GPS which is helpful for newbies and fairly accurate. The tee boxes were all thin, shaggy and surrounded by clover. The rough is little more than huge spotty sections of six inch long clover and weeds. So Sad. If you could find a ball in the stuff you would not be able to hit from it. The fairways were thin and weed filled with sections of clover everywhere from start to finish. The gophers have taken over sections of the fourth hole and were in action as we teed off. There are many fairways that you would have to move your ball on to find any grass. The clover in the fairways would hide balls which found the thick healthy rabbit food. The traps for the most part were fairly well groomed but lack sand and were wet with large pebbles. You had to remove your ball from many that were impossible to play from. So Sad. The greens which years ago were so nice have continued their decline as well. There are section of bare spots on several holes which your putt cannot roll through? The old cup placements on a few holes are craters where you cannot putt across. The bumpiness and speed coupled with the massive amounts of poa present on every green is frustrating to experience. Obviously the maintenance crew is understaffed and the course conditions ARE REALLY suffering!!! They have kept rates very reasonable for the local area but with the conditions not worth the rates. SO SAD

Haven't been to RSJ in about 8 months. I swore I would never play there again after abysmal conditions and increased prices. I'm happy to report that they've thrown quite a bit of money into the course and was pleasantly surprised how much the conditions have turned around!

Haven't been to RSJ in about 8 months. I swore I would never play there again after abysmal conditions and increased prices. I'm happy to report that they've thrown quite a bit of money into the course and was pleasantly surprised how much the conditions have turned around! Tee boxes were incredible (compared to what it was), fairways had much better coverage (still some bare spots), rough had lots of grass (they growing it out, so it's a little hairy right now), the fringes were all nice, the bunkers have all beautiful new white sand, and the greens were immaculate! New owners have done a nice job making this fun track more enjoyable to play! Much improved!!

Paid $70 in the afternoon (2pm start) out of desperation for a round without driving too far... kinda regret it. Conditions still not worth the price, many bare spots or funky lies in fairway landing areas and crummy bunkers are the norm. Rough is grown to a couple inches but some holes have a gopher hole problem in the rough. Greens are great, but worth the price? Methinks not... » More

Paid $70 in the afternoon (2pm start) out of desperation for a round without driving too far... kinda regret it.

Rough is grown to a couple inches but some holes have a gopher hole problem in the rough. Greens are great, but worth the price? Methinks not. Managed to get the front 9 done in about 2.5 hours, the marshal found us on 4 tee and recommended just going off 1 again instead of waiting more on the back 9, so I split from the threesome I was paired with and got another 6 holes in before dark. Hate to support these prices but that's Saturday golf for you. Biggest joke here might be the $50 rate for 9 holes.

First out on the last day of pre-6 AM tee times for awhile. No wind and it seemed warmer than it was to start. A day that required a stop at the turn to adjust to lighter layers. Frost just on the taller grass slopes and the greens freshly mown and smooth.

First out on the last day of pre-6 AM tee times for awhile. No wind and it seemed warmer than it was to start. A day that required a stop at the turn to adjust to lighter layers. Frost just on the taller grass slopes and the greens freshly mown and smooth.
Having played Silverado Wed. play in down rules, I did so here too. Had no un-playable lies anywhere through the green. Well maintained and at $43 walking superior to it's neighbor nearby with $79 riding rates.
Greens great as written. A few marks very putt-able and fringe areas nice.
Fairways coming into spring. Dry offering roll out.
Rough enough to stop the ball easy to advance for the most part.
Bunkers machined and darker dirt over firm base.
That's it just wanted to comment on the better than most in the area of a good value imo.

Got out today in a foursome in which I was invited to play, with a 10:00 am start. The course conditions overall were pretty nice with the big exception of the punched and sanded greens.

Got out today in a foursome in which I was invited to play, with a 10:00 am start. The course conditions overall were pretty nice with the big exception of the punched and sanded greens. Did I know about them because of the GK alerts? Yes, from early in the week. And as soon as I found out, I reached out to my hosts to let them know, suggesting they check with the course and see if they wanted to reconsider. They did call the course and whomever they talked to minimized the extent of the aeration to the point of suggesting "they should be fine by Friday". They were not, they lied and an upscale facility like Industry Hills should do better. When I saw the first green —medium sized, sand-filled holes and a topcoat of sand over the entire surface — I elected not to keep my score for handicap submission. We still had a nice time, but this goes as black mark against their customer service in my book. We might still opt to play if we know the greens will be rough, but give us an honest choice when asked directly. I was not aware of any discount either.

All that aside, with the snow on the mountains and the post-storm clouds, the views were excellent.
