I noticed that Upland Hills has not been reviewed for awhile, so here is the latest.
Played at 12:30 on Sunday afternoon. I live in Upland, but I haven't played here in a year because the price has been a bit ridiculous on the weekends. The fact that the price was less when I booked the tee time should've been a red flag, but I took the bait.

I'm not sure why this course has gone downhill, but I was really disappointed. First of all, the staff was friendly and we did start on time which was the best part of the day. As for the course, I knew we were in for a "rough" round after my first shot. I was just off the fairway and was lucky to find my ball in the 10 inches of uncut mess. All the mowers here must be broken down, because every hole was the same. The fairways were like light rough and the rough was a jungle. Some places over a foot deep. We lost at least 5 balls not more than 5 feet off the fairways. There is no excuse for this at all. Most all the bunkers were in horrible shape with very little sand an hard as nails. There were a few that were not that bad as well. The tee boxes were ok but not great either. The greens were the best part of the course, but were not cut and were very slow. I've been playing faster greens lately, and it was really tough to get the ball to the hole.

All in all, the POP was good even with everyone complaining about losing balls in the jungle. If you found the fairway, it was much more fun. I won't be back here until the super in charge of the course starts doing a better job. If you decide to play here before that, don't use your premium golf balls unless you can stripe it down the narrow fairways.

Well, that's my review of Upland Hills. I paid $55 and it wasn't worth $30 right now IMO.
I get that it's been hot and you don't want the course to die, but not cutting regularly causes more scalping of the grass and actually does more harm than good.

Haven't played in 45 days. Nine holes early Saturday round $19 to walk 1:25 pop.
Review mostly to up the ratings. In great summer conditions. Grass growing n areas usually only seen in the soggy rain seasons. Meaning better use of water resources. Better placement of tee markers for level spot with turf helps too. It's all about the greens here. Rolling smooth and not quit... » More

Review mostly to up the ratings. In great summer conditions. Grass growing n areas usually only seen in the soggy rain seasons. Meaning better use of water resources. Better placement of tee markers for level spot with turf helps too. It's all about the greens here. Rolling smooth and not quite as tight with summer heat.
Got the honor of raising the flag. Days are getting shorter. Good to be back in NorCal

Played Sunday 8/16. Course is in overall great shape. Greens were smooth , fairways were mostly good. A couple on the back nine had sections with rake marks from maintenance. Sand traps were nice. Tee boxes a little beat up. Service is always good. Always enjoy coming here.

Played 8/13/26 @ 1230pm. Weather was perfect! Waterfront golf for less than $200?! Yes please! I thought the course closure and re-do was eminent but the GM said within two years but no fixed date. I'm pretty sure that once that happens it's going to be triple the current price to play here. Tee boxes level and at times bushy. Fairways had some issues- bare spots, wet spots, br... » More

I'm pretty sure that once that happens it's going to be triple the current price to play here. Tee boxes level and at times bushy. Fairways had some issues- bare spots, wet spots, brown spots but were fine to hit from. Rough was thick and juicy and balls will sink into it. A few native areas were cut down and I think it speeds up play tremendously (holes 15 and 17 especially). Sand traps had some issues but played ok. Greens were rolling good but not as fast and brutal as the last time I played here in November. Awesome track with awesome views of the ocean on almost every hole!

Played 8/14/25 930am tee time. Was paired with a local 3some that play here 2 to 3 times a week. My first question to them was the status of the course and whether or not it was going to be torn down. Good news! Development has been postponed for now. I was so happy! I enjoy this course more every time I play it. Tee boxes were ok, some not so level spots here and there from th... » More

I enjoy this course more every time I play it. Tee boxes were ok, some not so level spots here and there from the combo tees. Fairways had some thin spots but good for the most part. Bunkers... stay out of them, its a crap shoot with the lies that you get in them. A couple of traps they just gave up and filled them in. Greens rolled well and had a few bumps towards the afternoon. I'm just glad I will be able to enjoy this fun and wonderful course a few more times before it's gone.
