Played 3/28/26 1:30 POP 4 +. A very busy Sat. Waited on many shots but overall not too bad. Course was in over all good to great shape. They punched the greens a couple weeks prior. Most had remnant signs of the punching and coupled with the Poana grass, they were on the bumpy side. They were extremely soft. It was actually difficult to not have the ball stop quickly, even on chips & pitches. Very fun to see your shots spin back. I had one shot plug in the green. They were running on the slow side. They should be completely healed in another week or so. I noticed a couple of small dead spots near the fringes on a couple of greens, but most had great full coverage. Fairways have grown in well and were lush & green (Not Paint). Ball sat nice with decent roll out. Tees & traps were the typical trouble spot. Many tee placements had no flat spots to hit from on this day and traps were mostly firm. Greens will improve quickly. Still my favorite twilight course in SD. Although I have heard that they have done away with twilight rates, which really sucks if true. They continue to clear and clean many of the overgrown areas and the course is looking fantastic and continues to improve. New carts with interactive GPS. A definite recommend.

Course is in excellent condition for late March. consistent temps above 90 have the Bermuda in full control and the winter overseed dying out in mmnay areas. Firm and fast is the new normal. Tees and Fairways lush and very well maintained. rough is patchy hit and miss, mixture of many grasses. This is the time of year they lower it, which does not keep offline shots on the course but it is easier to play out of if the ball actually stops in it. Sand traps well maintained. Greens are firm and you have to play for roll out. This time of year, you better know which holes not to miss above the hole. Otherwise, the front fringe or back in the fairway will be your next shots location after your putt whizzes by the hole downhill with no stopping in sight. Excellent carts/GPS, fine customer service.
On a personal note, started playing in the men's club events and they do not play any tees past Gold. Half the Gold tees are 1 tee box in front of where I have always played. You would not think 1 tee box on 9 holes makes a huge difference? It does, both on the sight lines and the amount of trouble it either takes out of play... or brings into play...lol. Still learning what clubs to hit from those tees. Bottom line is that my declining game was ready for a 300 yard decrease in overall course length. #5 in particular the difference is huge... instead of a 180 yard carry over water to a diagional fairway, I can bump an iron down the fairway with no water to carry and be closer to the green than I could ever achieve from the Green tees.

Course in very nice Spring condition. Temps above 90 have dried the course out. Playing firm and fast. Tees and Fairways very well maintained, lush with few unfixed divots. Few brown spots here and there beginning to show. Traps always well maintained here. Greens are firm and medium fast with few ball marks. You have to play for roll out on these greens. This is about the time of year the greens speed up because of the firmness. And as has happened in previous golf seasons, lag putts I think are good leave 4-6' coming back. Practice facitilies excellent. 2 putting greens, 2 practice chippings greens with sand traps. Only complain would be that often the range is set us to limit shots based on maximum distance, which may prohibit Drivers for some players. Decent restaurant for a golf course. Customer service in the Pro shop and with the outside staff has been excellent this golf season. Layout is very spread out, so you rarely see a walker. Nice carts with very good GPS. Highly recommended.
Began playing the Gold tees because of men's club events. #4 the difference is huge... instead of a short, uphill par 4 that I was having more and more difficulity just reaching the fairway with anything less than a 90% drive... it added another driveable par 4 to the mix of holes moving me up 75 yards and taking most of the forced carry over trees out of play.

Following on Weber's recent review, I was out Friday 3/27 as a threesome plus one, all riding, three of four playing the whites. I'll differ only slightly with his review so check his first. I have to say the course seemed about as lush as it gets here. Could even use a touch of mowing on some fairways, but good lies and no complaints. I was in two bunkers and I think it was less about lack of sand than lack of grooming and surface anomalies. Some rake time smoothing things out and I think the actual sand quality would work fine. But somebody has to actually do that. Rough was good, not overly thick or penalizing. Surrounds were good enough for short game and the greens were as green as I see them here. For what it was worth, some in our group were complaining about the speed (slow). I thought they were a lazy medium and while I might like them quicker, I thought they were still an acceptable pace. The key being they seem to match the practice green and were fairly consistent on the course. After an introduction to the pace, the challenge is to adjust. I played recently when the greens were much quicker, and I like that, but I adjusted for the difference and enjoyed myself. It's a muni guys.

Being Friday probably didn't help the pace and it seemed longer than usual at about 5.25hrs. I'm pretty chill about getting along with whomever I'm paired with on the course, but it was day when I definitely enjoyed the course more than my companions — and the ambiguity of that statement works both ways.

Played 3-23-26 in the GK/Vivid outing, 10am shotgun finishing in under 4 1/2 hours with a smaller than normal field. Tee boxes had good coverage and level stances. Fairways were lush with nice lays and minimal roll out. Rough was in great shape, thick and lush, about 2 inches longer than fairways with some thicker areas around greens. Was in one greenside bunker that was well groomed with a good layer of soft white sand. Greens were in great shape, rolling smooth and pure at a medium/fast pace and very receptive. Always fun to play here. Recommended.

Mid morning 3.75 hour round on a perfect weather day. The staff is friendly and informative. The restaurant is being renovated then the old pro shop will see new life and it needs it! The carts are great with good GPS and speakers with outlets for devices. The driving range and practice green are in great condition. We started on the tenth tee as evidently there was a water main break on the front nine that needed repaired earlier in the morning. The tee boxes had good coverage and all but a couple were level. The rough here rivals TCI in thickness and length. The rough is long, thick and mostly Kikuyu. If you were able to find your ball in it there was little chance you were going to advance it very far. Fairways from start to finish had nice green grass cut at the perfect height for good lies. The traps were all full of really great sand but probably hadn't been raked in a couple days? The greens were always really nice here but are extremely nice now. The greens held a good shot well with roll out if you came in low. There are many subtle breaks on these small greens and that paired with the speed made for some frustration in our group. The narrower fairways on several holes have some slope to them which adds to the difficulty of the course. There are a couple water features but they do not come into play during the round. They do offer a senior weekday rate which is reasonable in comparison to nearby facilities. The location is directly off of the 15 freeway for easy access. Definitely worth a round.

Playing one of my favorite County courses on a beautiful spring morning, Always enjoy playing here with the park like setting and surrounding mountains. Just a wonderful old style traditional course. Greens rolled well and were even better than expected. For the most part, fairways were good, with the occasional bare areas. Bunkers were the worst part of the course - need some sand please. The only real negative for me was my senior discount card had expired and since I do not play "away" that much anymore, decided not to purchase a new one. A decision I will probably regret.

The course had their greens and some fairways aerated on 3/18/2026. The greens are pretty clear of sand and the small holes do make putting challenging, but it is playable right now. The bunkers were dirt and mud, they need some work for sure. I had not played this course in 20 years and will be back. Pro shop check in was great, courteous and welcoming. The facility has improved since I was last on property.

Reiterating GDR23’s comment… “This is the nicest I have seen the course.”

All aspects for the course were in super shape especially the greens.

I have more events at Sunset Hills CC than other courses despite Sunset Hills CC’s lack of full distance driving range because the course is always in great shape, Sunset Hills provides us their full F & B services of Bar/Restaurant/Snack Bar/Beverage Cart hours prior to play, during & after play (no extra costs) and they have a wonderful staff with great attitudes always making us feel good/appreciated.

The Oaks Club at Valencia made a return to our annual private event rotation on March 16th. We’ve got our timing right scheduling our events to play here in the Spring as the golf course was once again in super condition. The Oaks Club at Valencia golf events team did a super job preparing for our experience and making sure we had a wonderful day. The driving range and practice putting/short game areas are huge. The snack bar and bathrooms are conveniently located where the golf carts are set up. The 1st and 10th tee boxes are well positioned at the turn for split tee starts if need be.

With exception to a few very tricky holes with some blind shots, I always enjoy playing the course. It was a great day teeing it up with rgm2525, GDR23 and for the first time OCGolfDawg. It means lot to me when GKers come play in these events :)

All moved in to my new home on Rancho Solano. 1 mile from the course. So today I had time to play a round.

Happy to say this is one of the best maintained public courses I have played in my many years of playing golf.

Pro shop is well run and provides top notch customer service.

Starting times are readily available and being a member of the Sr program adds additional benefits in rates and tee times availabiltiy.

The restaurant is well run and the food service and menu is great and so are the prices which are everyday until 6 PM. Have not decided if I like the happy hour better than the golf LOL.

Today I found the course in the best shape I have seen since I played here in Feb.

Tee boxes outstanding. Fairways with plenty of rollout and great lies.

Traps fantastic. Good sand and very playable.

The rough is not friendly but what rough is?

Greens as I have said before are HUGE and nothing like I have ever played on. So learning greens will be a challenge going forward.

Terrific course to play and I have never encountered so many wild Turkeys (not golfers but real Turkeys) on a course before.

This course in a must play if you are in the area.

South Course re-opens after being closed for a week for aeriation. As expected, the greens are bumpy and slow. To my surprise, no residual sand remaining? Several of the fairways in certain areas are having sod replaced. Strange that was not completed last week while the course was closed, but maybe the sod was not available? Anyway, nice to see improvements, whenever they are made. Overall, course is in good shape and a pleasure to play.
