Played here today. First out at 6:30, paying $75 to ride. The course is under new ownership and is undergoing reconstruction of the back nine. Hole 8 is also under construction and you skip this hole, playing Hole 9 as Hole 8, the Hole 18 as Hole 9. Yeah, it’s wonky. The scorecard reflects the proper yardage and par. I’m told that they expect to get it all up and running by November 2023.

Overall the course is playing well. There’s some new turf here and there and maybe some areas that looked a little dry. Maintenance personnel were scrambling ahead of me, working on bunkers and setting up the course. Greens were aerified a couple weeks ago and they are healed in already. The bunker sand was nicely groomed and was pure white and soft.

It will be nice to see this course come to life. They are offering public tee times. Great customer service. Everyone I had contact with was friendly and helpful.

I played here this last Saturday, using a Teeoff.com voucher. I think I paid about $40, including cart and range balls. Weather wise, it was on the cool and breezy side. Lots of sun and about 60 degrees with a steady 15 mph breeze. The course had aerated greens as of April 17, so it's been more than a couple of weeks. The greens have not yet healed completely but are very close. They told us it was cart path only because they were trying to get the turf to come back. Our group included a couple of locals and we did not really adhere to the cart path only request. I did not see a big deal here, as there were no areas that were overly wet.

Pace of play was about 3.5 hours.

Greens rolled good enough. Because they weren't healed from the aerification, it was slightly bumpy at times. The speed was good; fast but not too fast. Maybe rolling at about a 10.

Fairways were good. Not a lot of problems with tight lies or bare ground; however, they could establish a thicker turf with some more irrigation. We were told that they did chemically treat the turf for weeds, so don't lick your balls.

Rough was deep in some spots. I noticed some areas of clover which made it hard to find a ball because of all the white flowers. The further you got from the fairways the worse the conditions. It could be deep rough, weeds, or dirt. Outside of that you are in the desert.

Tees were all level and fairly nice. There was adequate coverage of turf, not too many divots and mostly easy to place a tee.

Bunkers were just okay. Some had small rocks, many were wet and looked hard, but for the most part they did play okay. I was in a couple and I had little problem getting out.

Overall, for the price, I was happy. The pace of play was great and I got out for around $40. I know they do have decent food, but I opted to head back home after the round. I would go back for the low price. If there were no discount, my choice in the area would be Rancho Vista.

Played today at 7:50. $42 riding, cart path only. Slow pace at just under 4 hours. As expected, the course was well-moisturized from all the recent rains. The cart path crosses a small creek in four places. The turf in those areas was obliterated but those areas should not come into play.

Greens were running slow and had a small amount of bumpiness. Obviously they were not mowed today. On the bright side, they did hold shots well. Not many ball ball marks either.

Fairways (there are only 7 par 4s) were mostly good. Nice coverage except for a few thin areas. Not a lot of rollout, but it was early and the ground was wet.

Rough was a real mixed bag. It varied from deep fescue to thin coverage or bare ground. Some areas were still draining water from yesterday’s storm.

Tee boxes were mostly level. Markers were moved forward and spread out over the entire width of the box. Not too wet or thin, so no issues there.

Bunkers were a bit of a mess. Wet, packed sand and occasional standing water. I was in two bunkers and was fortunate enough to get out nicely.

Overall, it was okay and nice to get out with some work buddies. I’m sorry it seems like I am the only one reviewing this course. It’s been a long time since I have been here.
