Out early with a couple friends who are at best "casual golfers", so this was a perfect course to play. Biggest challenge was making sure that we maintained a decent pace of play. We never held up the group behind us, so mission accomplished.

Out early with a couple friends who are at best "casual golfers", so this was a perfect course to play. Biggest challenge was making sure that we maintained a decent pace of play. We never held up the group behind us, so mission accomplished.

Fun course to play, and with the course being on the short side, it helped my playing companions. That plus there is not a whole lot of trouble, so didn't have to spend time looking for balls. As Dave stated in his recent review, greens rolled well and were receptive to shots. Sand was good, plenty of it and well maintained. Fairways continue to be lush and green, nice to play from. A few tee boxes were chewed up, but not too bad.

Played this AM. Just under 4 H POP. Place was packed. Golfers arriving before tee times and causing chaos at starter. 1st tee time is 7 AM? Perhaps they should modify that? Once on the course players seemed to be aware of POP and that was a good thing. Course is in great shape, just over watered due to recent heat wave. Tee boxes were all fine. Fairways were lush/green but very... » More

Once on the course players seemed to be aware of POP and that was a good thing. Course is in great shape, just over watered due to recent heat wave. Tee boxes were all fine. Fairways were lush/green but very wet so no roll at all. Never had a bad lie. Bunkers (no rakes) were actually playable and heard no complaints. Lots of rough (1 in) and OB + water to contend with if not hitting it straight. Greens were all great and chipped/putted and held shots just fine all round. And had good speed. Customer service excellent at all levels. Masks at check in and at starter only. Snack bar open only. Cart service was out and about.

Played The Crossings at Carlsbad on a cool Sunday afternoon with all the Covid restrictions in place. I played with a couple from Temecula and they were very nice. The tee boxes were better than average with most divots filled in and having said that sand was available on the carts and by the looks of things divots were filled in on the fairways as well.

Played The Crossings at Carlsbad on a cool Sunday afternoon with all the Covid restrictions in place. I played with a couple from Temecula and they were very nice. The tee boxes were better than average with most divots filled in and having said that sand was available on the carts and by the looks of things divots were filled in on the fairways as well. The fairways were green and firm and wide so if you found them, it was very playable. I haven’t been there in a while and I forgot how hilly it was and the few forced carries there are. The lady I played with said she plays there regularly and if a ball were to go in a bunker one could take it out due to local rules. There were no rakes, but it did look like someone was maintaining them and you could see shoe/foot rakes from previous people trying to rake the footprints. I was only in 2 green side bunkers and I played out of them because they looked playable to me. Greens were on the medium speed side, and the guy in my group went out of his way to fix what ball marks he could find. In closing, the course was in very good shape, very green and I had a very good time and look to return soon. Definitely recommended..
