Played on Saturday before the rain. Course was in good shape except for the usual spots in the fairway where it seems difficult to grow grass year in and year out. Looks like a truckload of sod was used to cover up most of the spots but more work needs to be done imo. Strange that they used the same fairway sod to fix surround areas (fringes of the greens). Completely different grass. Don't know why they just didn't use putting green sod from their turf farm. Greens haven't fully healed from aeration 4+ weeks ago. Golf ball still wobbles down the line, but soon should be back to normal. Green speeds were quicker than they looked. Rough is knarly. Member-Guest in a month so expecting significant improvement.

Since Weber reviewed the South today, I will comment on the North course.

North is higher elevation than South and all the water drains towards the South. 43 degrees at tee off. Surprising the North fairways were reasonably dry. A few mud balls here and there. CPO today. Greens were soft but retained all their speed. Holes were place in high spots which created some absurd putts if slightly past pin high. Sand was perfect today. The maintenance crew has really dialed itself in over the past month. Drainage improvements made in the last year have limited the amount of downtime to prepare the golf course for play.

There hasn't been a review for this course for a while. Played yesterday and found it to be very enjoyable. Great clubhouse overlooking the arroyo the course is located in. Practice facilities are ample, but range could be expanded somewhat as you are hitting towards the main road so limited distance balls are required. Easy walking course with overseeded rough, thin dry (not overseeded) Bermuda fairways, and greens could be very fast if they wanted to make then so. The rain earlier in the week slowed them down considerably but they were very receptive and putted nicely. Back nine has an usual feature in the four of the last five holes are Par 5's which can either make or ruin a round. Course was built in 1904, and it looks like membership is trying to lengthen course by adding new tee boxes. Several tee shots require you to hit over roads that cut thru the course. There is a creek that meanders thru the length of the course and comes into play on half a dozen holes. Large trees frame holes and several lakes provide protection on some short Par 4's.

An excellent, affordable option for membership if you live in the Central Riverside area. Can't wait to come back.

Played here a couple of times this week. Another Club Corp owned course and strangely going thru same maintenance issues that Coto went thru a few years ago (I joke, it's not strange, it's to be expected if you've played Club Corp courses before). First off, due to rains last week, the course was quite muddy since it doesn't drain very well. Being so flat doesn't help. Rare to play a course that doesn't have any houses on it. However, the 405 freeway noise and Naval air station next door creates a constant buzz you hear all day long.

The front nine has a lot of holes that look the same and is kind of boring. It's been twenty five or so years since I last played here and that is when they moved the first hole about 40 yards right of where the driving range is now, and eliminated holes 2-3 so they could build a shopping center on that land. Course was also built up a few feet because it used to flood all time. The back nine is much more interesting, especially the last two holes which could be problematic playing into the prevailing wind. Easy to walk.

Greens are very large and undulating and quite firm even after all the recent rain. Had decent speed to them but footprints were rampant and ball marks were everywhere. Surrounds were quite good but anything just off them was very hit or miss Bermuda rough. Fairways were not overseeded (a common ClubCorp technique to save money) so I'd expect brown or very little grass until about June. Bunkers were in very good shape with ample sand but that should be expected after a bunker renovation a few years ago. Tee boxes were level and it looks like they are experimenting with different types of grasses to see what works best. Lots of lakes but most fairways are wider than you think.

A solid yet unspectacular golf course where you will probably only remember a few tee shots and the 17th and 18th holes. Winter conditions pull the enjoyment level down a few points.

Membership is $70k + $1800/mo dues. Taking advantage of higher prices at Huntington Club and Virginia. Membership probably still paying for the spectacular clubhouse that was built in 2021.

Played the North after some time off. Course is in fantastic shape. Greens are immaculate although a bit on the firm side. Makes it extremely difficult to hold surfaces especially if pins are in front locations. Nothing like downhill 50' putts with 10' break at a 15 stimp. Super challenging to hit lag putts to within 3'. Better to miss green short but every green is elevated above fairway. Almost have to play away from pins and use contours to get the ball into the correct section of green. Surrounds are a bit sticky further adding issues to trying to get the ball close. Course is playing about 4-5 shots harder than normal. Which add about 15-20 to pace of play. Tees are nice and fairways are solid with some runout. Rough has turned dormant brown and we get a lot of flyers. Bunkers have ample sand, maybe a bit too much in the fairway traps. Hopefully some rain will soften up the green complexes.

Happy to report that the South course overseed has progressed nicely since my last update. Fairways are now about 8/10 with good coverage except for the normal "Indian burial ground" spots where nothing seems to grow. Fortunately, these are small in size and can easily be resodded if desired. One truckload needed for entire course, whereas a few weeks ago it would have been one per hole.

Greens are the highlight of the course. Very fast, firming up nicely, but ball will still check up. You can now play a variety of pitch and chip shots instead of just flying the ball to the hole.

Sand depth is more even now. Tees are lush.

Lot of fun to play. CPO restrictions on about 4 holes. Slows down play by about 30 min.

Got out on the North course after being closed ten days for maintenance. You couldn't even tell the greens were aerated and they had some speed to them. Soft with some firmness mixed in, the green should be up to top speed by mid November, once cooler weather arrives and they have been rolled a few times. Pas pallum Bermuda fairways look great as the base has held up (unlike the South course) and they didn't have to overseed them, tees still have several varieties of grass but are very playable and bunkers are quite nice too. I'm sure by February we will wish the fairways were overseeded as the Bermuda stops growing during cold weather. The rough has great coverage and is very nasty as the ball sinks right to the bottom. Nice thing is that there are no cart path restrictions, so POP is 4 hours.

Thoroughly surprised as i was expecting two mediocre courses for several more months.

Played today after the long awaited reseeding of the fairways. Cart path only today and maybe for the next month. Wouldn't you know but the group ahead of us turned off the GPS and drove straight onto the first fairway. And then tried riding in the rough to get as close to their ball as possible. No pride whatsoever.

Fairways were just awful. Patches of fairways had no grass either due to poor soil preparation or poor seed disbursement. Probably needed 2x the amount of seed than they actually used. Greens were pretty good having just been rolled. Tee boxes level and grass grew in better than fairways. Way too much sand in bunkers. Rough is thick and lush. Difficult to play out of because ball sits down which is fine.

POP was 4.5 hours due to CPO. Hopefully by 12/1 the fairways should fill in but no holding my breath as the grass will stop growing once it get colder.

Course owner should be embarrassed because there were perfect conditions to grow grass yet once again they failed.

North course has returned to excellent condition as the bermuda grass has popped during the last few weeks. Still hard on wrists when taking bird nest divots but at least there is full coverage on fairways. Greens have some speed to them as mowing heights have been lowered as compared to previous summers. Soft on approaches yet you can bump and run pitch shots. Sand traps have too much sand in spots and they still haven't figured out how to rake bunkers so ball doesn't roll into a downhill lie.

Played yesterday and as previously stated by Weber the course is not in good shape, except for the greens. It appears the maintenance team is experimenting with several different techniques to grow grass in the fairways as summer ALWAYS presents challenges due to a very weak bermuda grass base after the winter cool weather overseed dies off. So far, grass is growing where golfers do not hit golf balls from (no foot or cart traffic) but the landing zones off the tees and near the greens are almost barren. Appears we are going to be in for 3-4 months of typically bad fairways. Fairways need a complete redo to fix obvious drainage issues and replace irrigation system. Absentee new owner still MIA. Reclaimed water not helping. Aerating North course greens next week is going to put even more traffic on South. Might be good time to take a vacation.

Greens in solid shape heading into the summer. A bit on the moist, spongy side so large ball marks. Inconsistent speeds but still running around 10.5. Fairways have plenty of grass coverage but bermuda has taken over again and getting bird nest divots which are hard on the wrists. Rough is nasty as ball sinks to bottom. Sand traps are raked better but inconsistency in sand depth means you either hit the liner or never reach bottom. Green surrounds are tough because of slopes and chipping into/away from direction grass is growing.

Teed off around noon. POP exactly 4 hours. Cart girls and snack shop keep golfers hydrated and marshalls maintain pace of play.

Played on Saturday in the heat. Fairways were punched last week and in some spots were heavily soaked so we had to pay winter rules with the mud balls and standing water. Greens had also been worked on with small tines, sanding, and verticutting. Surprising speed was still pretty good and of course, balls were holding greens. Sand trap raking preparation is very consistent, however depth of sand is a mixed bag, and there is a certain group of players who just refuse to rake bunkers or repair ball marks. July thru October has historically been the worst conditioned months for this course as the cool season grass dies and the bermuda tries to regrow. Will be interesting to see if new superintendent can do better this summer. Still no sign of new owners after 18 months so of course no capital improvements to golf course. POP was 4 hours so very good.
