6/30/26- First off in the morning and not a sole around. My father in-law and I whipped through this course in just over 3hrs, and we took our time. When we showed up no one was here.

6/30/26- First off in the morning and not a sole around. My father in-law and I whipped through this course in just over 3hrs, and we took our time. When we showed up no one was here. We checked in got a bucket and were off. Carts ran good, bathrooms on the course were very clean, there was no water yet, probably because no one was there...except us.

Right now this course is in major summer heat mode. The tee boxes were in good shape, the fairways were a little thick and the rough was very rough. The humidity creates this problem according to the starter, and they don't cut too much of it until it cools down. The sand was at times ok, but some new sand will be needed when they turn this course around in the fall. The greens overall were in good shape, a little dry but not lighting quick. I saw only one hole (18) with a large dead spots.

Overall, for 50$ I found the price to be ideal. I really like the layout here, and I will come back out to play when conditions are cooler. If you can bare the heat and often the humidity or you love to squeeze in those rounds prior to 10:00AM then I recommend playing Desert Falls CC.

Took advantage of an invite to play Eldorado Park on a rather steamy day. Of all the Long Beach courses, this course has always been the most difficult for me. No criticism of the layout, I just never seem to play well there. The combination of the slow pace and heat I'm sure did not help.

No complaints about the course conditions. I thought the greens were excellent. ... » More

No complaints about the course conditions. I thought the greens were excellent. Rolled true and had nice quick speed. Good coverage in the fairways. Only in one bunker, and it was fine. The only thing that bothers now is the cost. I remember when playing the Long Beach courses were inexpensive - not anymore! But I guess that's true of all golf today. Sad that golf again has become a rich person's sport.

As you know I book a lot of private golf course Monday events working only with clubs that appreciate hosting our group, do an excellent job running our event and treat us friendly. Sunset Hills Country Club leads the way in the friendly category. Their staff goes beyond in making our group feel welcome along with providing full F & B services prior, during and after play.

Monday, 7/27 was another great event with excellent courses conditions and super service.

An interesting aspect of the course is although it was a very hot day, every hole provides escapes from the heat with shade. It made a difference.

Thank you everyone that came out to play. I got to catch-up with a bunch of Greenskeeper.org members I had not seen in a long time. It’s very difficult for me to put on our GK Plays right now because of how booked/expensive weekend golf has become. Running events and seeing GKers is my favorite part of Greenskeeper.org so if you happen to have a Monday free to play, come out to one these Vivid Golf/Golf Moose/GK events…it means a lot to me :)

The greens have received some TLC and look great—no bald patches or GUR. But (presumably because we’re in the middle of summer), they are keeping them extra wet and long, which translates into slow and bumpy. We even had one shot plug into the green (because they were so wet). The rest of the course seems like it is hanging on by a thread. The fairways were decent, the rough is... » More

The greens have received some TLC and look great—no bald patches or GUR. But (presumably because we’re in the middle of summer), they are keeping them extra wet and long, which translates into slow and bumpy. We even had one shot plug into the green (because they were so wet). The rest of the course seems like it is hanging on by a thread. The fairways were decent, the rough is what you’d expect, the bunkers were okay. Every once in awhile, you get a glimpse into what this course used to be (back in the Robinson Ranch days), but the conditioning is simply not what it used to be. The scenery and serenity of the place still make it unique, but don’t expect top tier conditions.

Played today as Wed is Sr day @ $34 all day. Great deal.

Course sits in American Canyon in the hills above Napa. Great scenery with the vineyards, the bay and Napa as well as today all the way to Marin.

The course is always well maintained and today was no exception.

Great layout of 3, 4 and 5 holes that will keep you interested all round.

Tee boxes level clean playable.

Fairways clean good lies rollout.

Rough was playable but there are OB and hazards to avoid throughout the round.

Traps clean and playable.

Greens are good size with undulations and had good speed in them all round. Great shape.

Great customer service in the shop.

Highly recommended especially on Wed if you are a Sr player.
