Played Monday so lucky only 85 out with a small breeze. If you never played here it is an inland links style course, very few trees and most holes right in front of you. Greens were very true and some are very large , a few had breaks but most putts ran very straight. (we have played here for years and everyone always says they make more long puts at Cimarron than anywhere).... » More

Played Monday so lucky only 85 out with a small breeze. If you never played here it is an inland links style course, very few trees and most holes right in front of you. Greens were very true and some are very large , a few had breaks but most putts ran very straight. (we have played here for years and everyone always says they make more long puts at Cimarron than anywhere). Par 71 with fairway lies like driving range mats for the most part, some summer brown dry spots. Chipping around the greens is like cheating, nice clean not tight lies, just enough grass you think you know what your doing for a change. Maybe not a course for the real low handicapper but a lot of fun for the rest. Warning once heat hits 110 this maynot be the place as shade is a permium.

On Tuesday played Mission Lakes in Desert Hot Springs. They had a shoot gun start at 7:30. Course is in great shape, fairways have good coverage and still green, Greens were almost completely recovered from punch and a bit slow but very true. Bunkers around greens have very playable sand. Course is owned by home owners and open to the public during the summer. Some days t... » More

Course is owned by home owners and open to the public during the summer. Some days they have a 7:30 shotgun instead of tee times. Very much the quality of most public courses in Palm Springs Valley about a 20 minute ride from Palm Springs.

Made it out early 6/7/26. Arrived about a half-hour early, checked in and there was no one working the carts. Some other golfers and I were directed to walk down to the cart room and un-plug whichever cart we wanted. I thought about taking the 6-seater but I am not 17 anymore. Anyways, Los Robles is in great condition right now. Tee boxes are well maintained, fairways are ideal... » More

Made it out early 6/7/26. Arrived about a half-hour early, checked in and there was no one working the carts. Some other golfers and I were directed to walk down to the cart room and un-plug whichever cart we wanted. I thought about taking the 6-seater but I am not 17 anymore. Anyways, Los Robles is in great condition right now. Tee boxes are well maintained, fairways are ideal, sand was a little wet but it seemed like new sand, hard to tell, and the greens were rolling slightly slower than expected as they had been watered in the morning. That being said, this course is always a challenge, with tight shots, big greens, and some well placed Oak trees. The course was hosting the SCGA Junior boys tournament, and when we finished there was not a parking spot in the lot. This is a good place to play this summer, definitely recommended.

Met up with ABBACAT yesterday and played the Stonehouse/Oaks combo at Temecula Creek on a picture-perfect day. Mid-to-low 70s temperature-wise but the steady 15-20 MPH wind…which, for the majority of the round, was against us…made for quite a challenge.

Overall, conditions were good although I felt there were a few rough spots along the edges on Stonehouse. Random ba... » More

Met up with ABBACAT yesterday and played the Stonehouse/Oaks combo at Temecula Creek on a picture-perfect day. Mid-to-low 70s temperature-wise but the steady 15-20 MPH wind…which, for the majority of the round, was against us…made for quite a challenge.

Overall, conditions were good although I felt there were a few rough spots along the edges on Stonehouse. Random bare spots here and there, some damp, muddy areas that needed attention, and a general appearance that made things look as if they were in some sort of transitionary stage.

Tee boxes could use some leveling, a few greens still showed aeration holes (#3 in particular), and the greenside trap on #4 was crusty and looked like it hadn’t been attended to in quite some time. I felt I was walking onto a sheet of ice when I entered to play my shot. Was able to navigate the 50-footer successfully…stuck it to four feet to save par…but there was a lot of guesswork involved. Although the bunker on #8 Oaks was better…firm but more playable…I feel the entire collection is in need of some work.

Greens throughout the course were soft…you immediately felt it under your feet…which led to approach shots holding nicely. Speed was definitely on the slow side, similar to the practice green, and putts took some sharp turns once they began to lose pace. Would like to see things firmed up a bit, which would lead to truer rolls.

With that being said, the ball mark damage was fairly minimal yet we still fixed quite a few fresh unattended marks during the round. Fringe areas were in good shape and the rough was healthy and thick. Took a bit of speed when it came to hitting short pitch shots but the receptive greens made it possible to get the ball to settle without a ridiculous amount of rollout.

Pace of play was very satisfying, although as a twosome sandwiched between a couple of fours, we did have a few delays to contend with. Nothing of consequence, however: teed off @ 2:00PM, played at a relaxed pace, and wrapped it up 4 hours and 15 minutes later.

Followed up the round with dinner at the course, which put a proper finishing touch on what turned out to be an enjoyable day.

Considering the steep fees many courses now charge on weekends, Temecula Creek’s late rate of $78.00…with a cart…cannot be overlooked. As far as I’m concerned, you definitely get your money’s worth here.

Despite the minor ‘imperfections’, the course is highly recommended. Hopefully things will get tidied up as the summer approaches but they’re really not far off. The personable staff also deserves mention as they provide a warm and welcoming vibe.

I’ll be back soon.

Mid morning Oaks/Creek nines 4.5 hour round on a very windy day. The staff and pro shop are really nice. The practice facilities are adequate and well maintained. The tee boxes were all in good level shape with the exception of the par three holes. The second hole on the Creek was almost solid unfilled divots. The rough was cut down to a nice length but advancing from it w... » More

Mid morning Oaks/Creek nines 4.5 hour round on a very windy day. The staff and pro shop are really nice. The practice facilities are adequate and well maintained. The tee boxes were all in good level shape with the exception of the par three holes. The second hole on the Creek was almost solid unfilled divots. The rough was cut down to a nice length but advancing from it was difficult and penal. The fairways are in excellent condition with total green grass coverage from side to side and great lies. The roll on some of the fairways was limited by the amount of watering. The bunkers were all full of decent sand but many needed a good raking and some were damp. The greens were all great with hardly any ball marks. They held shots well and consistently rolled true but were a little slower than usual. The course allows walkers and these two nines are great for that. Nice access to the freeway is also a plus.
