Played after 10 today, 4 and half hours as usual..course is OK, greens are slowly clawing their way back form last years problems, only problem now is poe annua is growing up and bent grass is lying flat.. so as the days get warmer that later in the day your ball will not have anything near a roll more a bumpy ride to the hole. Course still getting a pretty full tee sheet everyday...always have fun when you putt with your eyes shut and don't get up tight with the six or more carts lined up on the three pars. Tip, make sure you take a good look around the hole before you putt and if you see yellow tips on the poe with dark bent area's around it the ball is going to get a late quick break because the poe is higher then the bent.

Played the Palms Course at Menifee today....Paid $41 rate at 10:00...worth every penny...4 and half hour round, but I can see it could be longer if course was full. Greens real good and plenty of good grass lies in fairways, some sand a little thin, but you can tell easy enough walking in them...Played Seven Hills in Hemet on Sunday and if it was a 5 out of ten this was an inch short of a 9......we will be back...

Will play a round any where, and Desert Dunes is one that falls in the any where category..I played 2/18 and I think a few posters of late on this course most have been asleep when they played....layout is the one 5 star I always felt about this course having played it at least twice a year for over 10 years...but the condition of the course is an ever sore point...playable yes, maybe a 5 out of a 10 for condition.....not the best but it deserves play because of the design...just do not think your going to find even the average desert course conditions...you get what you pay for.

Played Gary Player mission hills 1/9/21..what can I say, I play Yucaipa Valley, Rancho Del Sol, Shandin Hills most of the time and if they are a 2 out of 5 Gary Player is a 6 out of 5. Nice fairways over seeded full and green, greens full and true...rough lift brown and dormant which makes course look very good and lets you have a fair lie in the rough. Used Under Par so 2 for $149, played Rancho Del Sol for $45 last week and I would say the $59 difference for the 2 of us was money well spent....

played 12/17,,,OK, one month ago the place was in very good shape BUT now with the colder weather and the dormant OVER watered fairways and greens under weather damage now I could not recommend this course till maybe JUNE. Why would you over water non-over seeded dormant warn weather grass? Like so many public courses they would have been better served to close down for a month and over seed with winter grass both fairway and greens...but with so much play because of Covid they have stretched the course too far.

Played Tuesday 12/8... dormant painted green fairways...some tight lies around greens..greens play well even hold on higher shots. Course is one where keeping it in he fairways makes scoring rather easy...I am a 17 handicap and shot 78 from the whites (par 70). Need to play a couple times to learn some of the odd places you just cannot hit your shots because there are many places that look right but they are not. Just one warning when we made the turn at 11:20 there were no carts left and guys/gals were waiting on them and course was not overly busy....covid-19 lots of single riders again.

Played 12/5 4 hour pace, greens small and in good shape...fairways dormant but for the most part good coverage...played here about 6 times this year and always score well as this is one public course you get good lies close to the greens and can pitch and chip very easily to the small greens. They have a set of gold tees that are super friendly for us older guys and gals..nice to have short iron ih on many par fours, as it should be.

Played 11/26 10 AM. What can you say, perfect fairways, great greens...OK, bunkers a little lite on sand, but well maintained. Just under 4 hour round.....Fantastic Driving range and putting green included in green fee....Lots of different holes, some with mile wide fairways, some a bit tight...Maybe one of the best public courses in California for the price.($100 Holiday) Plays somewhat harder then ratings for sure as lost balls out of play are highly possible on many holes. Will play many more times in 2021....if not for the pandemic playing golf and spending the night in the Hotel/Casino would be a no brainier.

Played Yucaipa Valley around 10 today, followed Ladies Club...no problem finished in 4 hours...Course looking better every week, greens about 80% back...sand still more mud/little sand (need to do more of a lob shot I guess) greens are fast enough that being above the hole is not advised....just hope we get a couple more weeks of warmer weather so greens can heal even more

Played Friday at 11:00, No starter and about 20 minutes behind because of early frost I guess. Starting Champions on back 9 is a challenge without a warm up and those players with a higher handicap or short off tees really slow play as double boggy or worse is going to be their outcome. after almost 3 hours we finely headed to the front nine, which thank goodness has 6 forgiving holes so just over 2 hours...course in fair shape, green very nice..always a challenge on the Champions, like many Legends is more to my 15 handicap ability. I always take myself out to play the Champions side when my handicap is on the verge of dropping because it is really a challenge for a short hitter even from the whites.

Played 6/3 only thing keeping it from perfect was a few dried out hard pan bunkers. They sold their sister course "Gary Player' and we played there 6/4, fairways and greens good, but bunkers no so good...also KiKuyu grass is showing up all over the Gary Player which needs attention now or it will be a problem..

Shocking, I took my wife to play there Thursday and after a week of me and her girl friends telling her how hard the course was..She shot a clean 85 from reds (she is a 19 handicap). Course was in very good shape and play (10 AM start) was right at 4 hours. I had a very low score for me also (shot 80 with a 17 handicap white tees) It had to be the greens at a very controllable speed and very few major breaks. Was funny last time I played there I shot 91? Anyway very enjoyable day, played with two men's club players that knew course and agreed greens very easier then normal....
