Got out early on a very cold Sunday morning... We teed off at 7am with the temp at 35* degrees. Was surprised they let us out due to the fairways and greens being covered in ice. Took us awhile to warm up once the sun popped up over the hills. The course overall was enjoyable. Two completely different 9's that's for sure. Tee boxes were decent not great and the course had a lot of dry spots and dormancy which is expected at this time of year. You really got to hit your targets here or you will get penalized. A lot of sloped fairways with a wash or ravine running through the front 9 that you have to be careful to not hit into. Comes into play quite a bit. First time here so it got me on a couple of holes... Bunkers were fair and had ample sand and played well. Rough was inconsistent with short to no rough to long and chunky rough throughout. Greens were rock hard due to the freezing conditions but were very nice, they just weren't rolling true due to the frost and ice. The course was very enjoyable and we definitely liked the back 9 more so than the front. There was a cart girl so that was nice... Only negative thing for me is I do not like ending on a par 3. Not sure if they ran out of room for a par 4 but oh well. Fun track if you're in the area

Played Sunday the 29th in a tournament. They started us on hole 10, the starter mentioned they do this on the weekends to speed up play. I've always played here during the week so it was a surprise to me. Anyways, the course was in great shape throughout from tee to green. Nice tee boxes, they were level and trimmed perfectly. The fairways were groomed perfectly with no issues whatsoever. Bunkers had ample plush sand in them as I was in a few throughout the day. The greens were rolling true and were fast, just wish people would repair their ball marks...the rough was the most difficult part of the course. It didn't look very penalizing but it would really grab ahold of your club and wreck havoc on your shot. All and all the course was in great shape with a well manicured landscape.

Played yesterday for my buddies Birthday. Went out as a foursome at 730 and finished in 4 hrs. The course overall is in good shape with an occasional bare shot here and there with quite a few roped off areas. The course is under new management and being ran by a consulting firm so they're making some strides and trying to maintain the course conditions. Tee boxes were pretty good overall with a few that were uneven but able to find a flat spot. Greens are always in good condition imo and they were rolling well. For as much play as this track gets they do a good job. The bunkers were the worst part. They were so inconsistent. Some had minimal to no sand and others had what I would call beach sand. Nothing like I've experienced before and you really had to swing hard to get the ball out. Wrong type of and for a bunker... They are watering like crazy so it was pretty wet and muddy out there as well. All and all always one of my go to local tracks. Nice little practice facility and everything is open being that it's San Bernardino County.

Played Mountain Meadows yesterday with a 2:20 tee time. It's a county course so they're being strict with the whole mask thing and what not. The county is actually paying someone to sit by the pro shop and watch everyone in and around the driving range as I was hitting balls I removed my mask and she walked over and made me put it back on. It is what it is ....
After check in we had to wait for our carts as they were rotating them in and back out after people were finishing and only allowing 1 person per cart so we didn't tee off till about 2:45. Course was in decent shape throughout and you can definitely see where they neglected maintenance on the course. A lot overgrown areas and the bunkers were terrible. They actually have weeds and grass growing inside of them. We decided to use the GUR rule if we ended up in a bunker. Tee boxes weren't too bad although there were a few that were uneven. Fairways were nice overall and so were the greens. Greens were rolling pretty well although bumpy as it was late in the day and this track gets a lot of play. (PLEASE REPAIR BALL MARKS) I cannot understand why people are too lazy and or inconsiderate. I was repairing mine plus 5 on almost every green... infuriating! Anyways, it was a fun round of golf with my usual crew and we actually finished in less than 4.5 hrs surprisingly.
Guess we might be seeing these inconsistent conditions in the foreseeable future due to the economy and what not. I heard the county laid off 40+ golf course employees so I'm sure we will just have to make do. Just pleased to be able to be playing golf again.

A little late on my review as I've been away but here you go... First time out at Rustic last Saturday May 23rd. I've always wanted to play this course and finally made the 1 1/2 hr drive and boy was it worth it. Best links course I've ever played and definitely in my top 5 courses ever played. My buddy says it's the closest to Bandon Dunes you'll get and he's played Bandon quite a few times.
Anyhow, driving up the long road up to the clubhouse I was checking out the front 9 and it looked pure. Check in was fast and easy as we pre paid online. Range and putting green are open, (Ventura County) which was nice. When I got on to the practice green I knew it was going to be a tough day with the flat stick lol... All 4 of us walked and it was such a great day. Got to the first tee and what a view. Wide open fairway to start the round. Tee boxes were all nice and level, we rode the blues. Fairways were in great shape and had a lot of run out to them. I got 50 yds of run out on some of them. A lot of little pot bunkers to lookout for along the way as well. Luckily I had buddies that knew the layout or I would've been in a lot more trouble throughout the day. Was never in any waste area or bunker so can't review those but they looked difficult. Greens were running and if you're not on the right side of the green you're in big trouble. Trust me I learned the hard way. I believe I had 6 3 putts and one 4 putt, yikes... greens were hard and not very receptive and you couldn't tell where the green started and the fairway/apron ended. Hence a links course. Very hard to chip around the greens unless you are a great wedge player. I used putter quite a bit.
All and all I will definitely be back and will frequent this track more often to get more familiar with it. I'm happy with my 92 my first time here considering how tough it is. If you haven't played it you need to check it out for yourself.

Played today which should've been a 7:48 tee time. Course was pretty busy for a Monday to start. Tee times were running behind so we got out a little after 8:00. Course was in excellent condition. The overseeding worked wonders and the course was lush. Tee boxes were a little long and could've been mowed. Had to tee the ball up higher than usual which made for tougher tee shots all around. That was the only negative... Fairways were full and beautifully groomed, greens were really nice and rolling pure. Bunkers were good and had ample sand, I ended up in two for the day. The rough was thick and about 2-3 inches thick in some places.
Overall it was a pleasant round and I was glad to get out to Oak Quarry as I haven't been here in a while. They've done a great job with the course and it's always been in my top 3 inland empire tracks. I'll be back here December 22nd for a tournament and it couldn't come too soon. Hoping to get back out here before then.

Played 11/16 with my monthly tournament crew. This course for some reason always gives me a hard time. I've only played it 3 times and I cannot figure out these greens. Balls were not holding greens whatsoever and all four of us in the group putted our balls off the green at least once. They were real slippery that's for sure... Greens were in great shape to add as well, for as much play this course gets that's definitely surprising. Tee boxes were a bit chewed up but not enough to not find a good teeing area. Fairways were thin with bare spots here and there, I was on a few thrift my round. Nothing like hitting off of hard pan in and near the fairway... Bunkers were fine, nothing great. Not much of a difference between the fairway and the rough as there really isn't much rough through the course.
Overall I'm not a huge fan of this course but that's just me. If 5 1/2 hr rounds are your thing then this is up your alley. Conditions aren't up to par to put up with the views and they are great views. Not trying to put this track down, like I said just my opinion...

So I got it and played my home course for the first time in over a year. I really love this place but due to the rumor or not a rumor of it being up for sale they let the conditions get pretty bad. So after hearing good things from others and seeing the last couple reviews I gave it a whirl. I was pleasantly surprised, the course was in good shape. A little more tlc and it would be back to his I remember it.
So a few dry spots here and there but overall good fairways. Bunkers were plentiful with fluffy sand, some of the best bunkers I've played out of in a while. Greens were rolling true and we're really nice. Some uneven tee boxes but nothing too bad. Pace of play was awesome. We finished in 4 hrs. Mind you, they switched around starting front 9 back to the original settings when it first opened. I really like this set up as you get to finish on that great downhill par 5...
If you've written off Westridge go back and give it a chance. It's doing pretty well right now. Green fees are pretty reasonable IMO

Played Industry Hills (The Babe) course Saturday in a tournament. Overall the course was in great shape except the greens and the bunkers. I know that The Ike is their money maker and they pay more attention to that track but boy, the greens on the babe were terrible IMO... the guys in my group agreed as well. Ball marks everywhere and poorly repaired. They were rolling pretty slow from what I've experienced in the past. I've been playing here for a really long time and they've seen better days. Also the bunkers were terrible. Hardly any sand in them and quite a few rocks were present. They were very hard to get out of throughout the day as we all ended up in 1 or 2 in our round. I'm very disappointed in the condition of this course at the moment. I've played this course at times in the past and it was immaculate. They're running a 44 dollar special right now due to some anniversary thing they got going on so you can't beat the price and maybe that's why as it's getting a ton of play. Just feel they need to step it up and nurture the track a little bit. Other than these issues the rest of the course was great. Fairways and tee boxes were nice. Cart girl was present all day as well which was good. Never have I had this issue on the Ike....

A few days late but here it is. Played Friday April 19th with a tee time at 2:22. Checked in with at the golf shop at 1:50 with a rate of 22 dollars (players club) rate which includes a drink, can't beat it. Here's the kicker, we ended up having to wait over a half hour for our carts and we were a 5 some. They had double booked tee times so the other group waiting along with us had the same tee time as we did. We didn't end up teeing off till 2:45. The whole rest of the round was a hurry up and wait situation, 2-3 groups waiting on the tee. It was a long horrible experience which I've never experienced here. It is American golf and they like to cram as many tee times in as possible but never this bad. Well anyways, on to the course conditions. Overall it was pleasant but the greens were really bumpy and thick. Understandable as they were punched not too long ago. Biggest issue was the ball marks. Why is it so hard for people to fix their ball marks. I repaired 11 ball marks on one green, unbelievable.... fairways were nice and rough was playing at it's normal thickness. Bunkers were nice as well with ample amounts of sand and pretty fluffy. Overall it was a frustrating day but still better than being at work. They have to do a better job with their managing and booking issues IMO.

Late post but here we go... Played Western Hills last Thursday with some buddies. This course always upholds to it's challenges. Tree lined fairways with lots of dog legs in there to give you trouble. Gotta be in the fairway on this course or it will be a long day. Fairways were nice and lush. Rough, well the rough wasn't too bad but enough to give you trouble. Tee boxes were nice and level and well manicured. Bunkers were very full and had soft plush sand. I ended up in a few. The biggest challenge on the track is the greens. They are always super fast and you need to be below the hole. You definitely have to know the greens here or you can 3 putt all day. I love this course due to the challenging nature. First time walking here and it was nice. Not to many elevation changes so you can easily walk if need be. If you get a chance to play here give it a try. Donovan Daily Deals puts out an occasional Monday deal for 60 bucks and that includes cart. I'll continue to go back and try to conquer this course....

Booked 2 tee times for 8 of us for my buddies bday round. Right away I noticed they are getting into the maintenance process and well expected during this time of the year. A lot of dormant areas and really tight lies. The one thing that really stood out to all of us was there wasn't any sand in the bunkers at all. Also there were a lot of rocks in the bunkers as well. I've played here quite a bit and have never seen it this bad but again, maintenance season... tee boxes were nice and the greens were rolling pretty well. Won't be back for a while, until the course recovers.
