Made it back to Mountain Meadows with a buddy to play a staggeringly warm summer afternoon in Pomona with temperatures into triple digits. Sadly there was no cart service and a blacked out grill/bar with no power, melting ice and cash only. What can you do sometimes?

We played the white tees (riding of course - very basic carts/no GPs) and found the course to really be showing off its better side. You know the saying - 'It's a great course when it's in really good shape.' Well, that's happening now. Impressive fairway coverage and lies with that much sun to deal with every day ... rough is also thick and healthy. Very few hot spots on the course and an intriguing layout with some real challenger holes, but fun all along the way.

Greens are in really great shape and very fun to play ... a little mix of every trick, but all fair and non-gimmicky whatsoever. Rolling faster than you expect, slower than where it ends up landing ... they're tough but enjoyable. You can also hold shots on them which is great.

Bunker and tee boxes all in good to often bordering on great condition. It's really top marks all around right now and I highly recommend getting that 6am tee time to beat the heat - would be ideal right now. Very good value as well ... highly recommended.

After my round at Blue Rock I headed into SF for an appointment at the SF VA. To my surprise I found that Lincoln was right next to the hospital.

When I came out I stopped and asked if I could get on and was told if I can be ready in 15 mins (of course) he would put me out.

My first observation was how old the clubhouse is and looks. 2nd how short the course is ... » More

After my round at Blue Rock I headed into SF for an appointment at the SF VA. To my surprise I found that Lincoln was right next to the hospital.

When I came out I stopped and asked if I could get on and was told if I can be ready in 15 mins (of course) he would put me out.

My first observation was how old the clubhouse is and looks. 2nd how short the course is 5146 from the tips and par 68. Then I got to the first hole. I immediately thought of #17 at Westridge.

The course may be short but the elevation changes and narrow fairways make the course challenging for someone playing it for the first time. Either play it like Bryson or put the driver away and hit fairway woods/metals and irons.

Lots of trees and dogleg fairways + hills make for an interesting layout.

Tee boxes were hit miss for accepting tees and many need leveling.

Fairways are narrow and need some water as lots of brown areas. But they did have decent rollout even uphill.

Traps were playable but SF golfers might be the worse when it comes to raking.

Virtually no rough to deal with.

Greens were not very large but were soft and putted slow all round. But they were clean and acceptable.

Located adjacent to Legion of Honor Museum and said to be one if not the oldest course on the West coast.

Great views of SF and the Golden Gate bridge but today a little bit foggy for really great views.

Probably not a course for everyone but historic enough to say you played it. If you are in the area go for it. Its different.

Played the E course this morning. Got out early on a beautiful but cloudy morning.

After playing E/W a few times I prefer this one of the 2. I enjoy the variety of holes on this course vs the W.

Tee boxes were all perfect.

Fairways were damp and delivered great lies but not all of them had good rollout.

Traps were all clean and playable. I... » More

Tee boxes were all perfect.

Fairways were damp and delivered great lies but not all of them had good rollout.

Traps were all clean and playable. In two and no trouble getting out.

Rough was wet and sticky and there is a lot of it due to the fact the course has many elevation changes, side hill lies, uphill lies and bad rough is waiting for you just outside these fairways.

Greens had all been mowed this early in the AM and held shots, released shots and chipped/putted just great.

The fog lifted late in the round and as the sun rose beautiful views of San Pablo bay and the Marin headlands.

Great service in the pro shop.

Very nice $47 w cart round for seniors.

Recommended.

Early morning 3.5 hour round on a well conditioned course. Staff is always friendly. Practice facilities are well maintained and large enough. The carts are very nice with accurate gps and bluetooth.

Early morning 3.5 hour round on a well conditioned course. Staff is always friendly. Practice facilities are well maintained and large enough. The carts are very nice with accurate gps and bluetooth. The tee boxes all had great coverage but many of the tees were set on sloped ground. The rough is thick enough to locate a ball in but advancing it was slightly difficult. The fairways were all cut down shorter than I've ever seen before but still provided good lies. There was quite a bit of water being put down on the entire course which made for limited roll and mud balls. The fairways here are fairly narrow and accuracy is prime. The traps all have real nice sand but some were damp and in need on raking. Hitting a shot from them was not too difficult. The greens all had really nice coverage and looked great. Putting on them was another story. The greens were a little damp and held shots well. The speed was inconsistent from green to green and there WERE numerous ball marks on every hole that had not been repaired. There were so many marks that fixing those in your line got old after a few holes. Most greens here are very small and protected by bunkers. The weekday senior rates are reasonable and freeway access is easy.

7/16/26- Scholl Canyon 8:00AM. Parking lot packed, range was full, and the tennis academy was booming. The course was not that full, but still a little slow for the morning. Scholl Canyon is very dry right now and the fairways are browning. The greens are in really good shape and are holding nicely. The sand needs some love, and the tee boxes are at times not level.

7/16/26- Scholl Canyon 8:00AM. Parking lot packed, range was full, and the tennis academy was booming. The course was not that full, but still a little slow for the morning. Scholl Canyon is very dry right now and the fairways are browning. The greens are in really good shape and are holding nicely. The sand needs some love, and the tee boxes are at times not level. For $40 to ride and much less to walk, this course has some great views, and some challenging holes. I always enjoy playing here, and wish I lived a little closer.

If you are looking for a quick 18 with some super short par 3's and short par 4's this is it!
