Got out here late morning on a good rate. Played the north before but not the south. When you arrive you get the feeling this place is a step above. Friendly check in and starter, very nice carts with GPS and included water bottles. Top notch range area with included balls but can't really dial in distances as everything goes uphill. Challenging course with lots of elevation changes, consistent ocean views and tough approach shots. Wide enough fairways, but pay attention to your shot into the green. A couple of beautiful par 3 ocean holes. Course is in excellent condition with well manicured tee boxes at the blues. Fairways are lush green carpet with just a bit of brown but everything played well. Rough was just enough to have your ball sit down and penalize you. Fairway bunkers were hard and compacted though, and greenside bunkers didn't quite have enough sand. Fringe areas were very well maintained. Greens were tough and undulating with many false fronts and multiple tiers, but surprisingly felt slow, I didn't get a putt to the hole until the 7th hole or so. Very soft and receptive. It's pricey, but the tee sheet appeared packed so their pricing model is probably on point. A very enjoyable round, hope to get back here soon.

played here with some friends early morning just before 8. course is in generally good condition. not a fan of the new routing, just because i still like how it used to end and going to the range is a trek from hole 1. i can see the reasoning behind it though. tee boxes were mostly in good shape, some domed or uneven spots here and there. fairways all had an even layer of forgiving grass, very few bald or inconsistent spots. fringe areas all in excellent condition. greens were very soft, kind of fuzzy and slow. huge ball marks on incoming iron shots. a lot of ball marks would lead to some bumpy putts. bunkers were pretty bad, lots of rocks with wet compacted sand and also most were full of sand flies. not a pleasant experience at all. though less overpriced than right after the pandemic, prices not back where they used to be. too hot out in riverside. play if you can get an early tee time for cheap.
