Played 18 today and could not have been more pleased with the course conditions, layout and staff. Pace of play was right on 4 hours and could have been 30-45 mins late but there was a slow foursome slowing things down a bit. Nonetheless a must play if you are looking for a fair, challenging test on a course with impeccable conditions. And did I mention the $60 green fee is a real bargain for a Troon course!

Played 5-9-26. They had a shotgun start on the back at 8 o'clock and let me go out around 7:30 as a single. Didn't see anybody on the course until I got to the ninth hole where I could see players on the first hole which parallels the ninth. Nobody on the back nine either, finishing in about2 2 hours and 45 minutes with the course pretty much all to myself. Tee boxes were in de... » More

Didn't see anybody on the course until I got to the ninth hole where I could see players on the first hole which parallels the ninth. Nobody on the back nine either, finishing in about2 2 hours and 45 minutes with the course pretty much all to myself. Tee boxes were in decent shape, mostly level and cut tight with some divot damage on par threes. Fairways were in good condition, mostly lush with good roll out and nice lies. Rough was maybe and inch longer than fairways at the most. It was in good shape and not much of an issue to hit from. Was in two greenside bunkers that were well groomed with a good layer of brown sand. Greens were rolling at a medium/fast pace and playing soft. Unfortunately recent players are not fixing there pitch marks. I fixed at least 15-20 unrepaired marks on almost ever hole. If you had a putt with no marks on your line they rolled pretty smooth, otherwise you were most likely to have a bumpy putt. I just wish other people who play would have a little consideration for the condition of the course and just fix the damage that they cause. Will still be back to play because this is such a fun course to play.

Very much enjoyed getting back out to Harding. Being from the Midwest, really miss playing these old-style traditional style courses with all the trees. Course condition was about what I expected based upon recent reviews. Bumpy firm greens, inconsistent bunkers and a mixed bag when it came to the fairways/rough. Pace of play was surprisingly decent, a little over four hours, b... » More

Pace of play was surprisingly decent, a little over four hours, but the day was beautiful and the scenery was wonderful, so didn't seem all that bad. Sure wish we had some of these type courses in Orange County.

I was pleasantly surprised by this course. Didn't expect all the elevation change or the big sloping back to front greens, made for a nice challenge. Slightly confusing crisscrossing layout kept me busy, glad I had a cart.

Course in all around private course shape that played long in the afternoon winds. If Johnny books another outing out there it is well worth playing.

Fun locals nine holer. Good place to get out and stretch your legs in-between SF and LA.
Course was in decent muni shape. Greens rolled fine, traps, tee boxes and fairways all acceptable. $10 to walk (another $12 for a cart) and just enough trees and green slope to keep you honest. It was a nice warm up on my way to Bakersfield
