I enjoy playing new courses as much as possible and will golf anywhere. I like the challenge of tough courses, meeting new people, sunsets, holding hands, long walks on the beach...

Nice CC atmosphere, pleasant weather, and great course conditions. Shotgun start at 10 am.
Greens: Fast and smooth. They held shots, but you had to have some spin and elevation on those approaches.
Fairways: Great runout and very pristine conditions.
Rough: It was thick in places, but not unmowed. I was lucky enough to not have too many penal lies. Mostly, my ball sat up. No bare areas that I saw.
Bunkers: All were great; raked smooth (I did have a small footprint that did not get raked on one hole) and groomed very nice.
Tees: The three sets of markers were, for the most part, placed onto one long box with a total of about 250 yards difference over 18 holes.
Overall condition of the course was great. Customer service was excellent, and the food was good. If you get a chance to play here, take it. » Close Played today in a small tournament, teeing off around 10:40. The course is in very good condition, lots of good turf and fast greens.

The range and putting green are on the small side, but most everyone was able to practice if they wanted.
Greens were great. Fast and smooth. We had difficulty getting used to the speed today. It was also difficult to get an approach shot to stick. It was challenging.
Fairways were good. Lots of coverage and very few bad lies. Lots of roll out on most shots.
Rough was fairly good. Some sporadic bare areas and some perpetual problems that will never grow in, especially around the many eucalyptus trees. Deep enough in most areas to catch your ball but not too penal.
Bunkers were very good. A couple had standing water but most were nicely groomed with good beach sand.
Tees (we played the Blues) were level except for a few holes on the back. Good grass coverage and not too many divots on the par threes.
Overall I thought the course was in pretty good condition. I have not been here in a while and my recollection of the course was it can be in rough condition at times but not today. Too bad my game wasn’t up to speed. I will recommend playing here. » Close Played today, fourth group out. Chilly weather around 45 degrees, slight breeze that picked up by the 12th hole.

Greens were fast; however; they’re getting punched on Monday/Tuesday.
Greens: Rolling fast and true. Firm conditions, hard to hold a shot. Breaks away from the ridge to the south, down towards the middle of the desert.
Fairways: Great rollout and coverage.
Rough: Not too penal.
Bunkers: Good white sand. Perfect conditions and raked nicely.
Tee boxes: We played the Blues. Mostly level. Some were hard.
Overall: Great customer service and the course is playing great right now. Too bad they are aerating on Monday! » Close I played here yesterday with a small tournament of just three foursomes.

POP was about four hours. If you want to hit balls, you have to stand in line and wait for a station as the range is small. One of the two putting greens was open. The course itself is in great shape with lots of good grass coverage most everywhere. It was cart path only on a couple of holes and all the par 3's.
Greens here are relatively small. They were medium fast and looked great. Lots of subtle breaks and somewhat challenging.
Tees (we played the white tees) were decent. Good grass coverage and mostly level.
Fairways were very nice with the exception of the first hole. There's a large area that is low lying and had standing water and no grass. Lay up, then hit over this mess! Other than that, the rest of the course was great.
Rough was very playable; deep and penal at times, but almost no problem finding your ball.
There are many bunkers on this course, and they looked to be in good condition. The sand was not too deep, maybe a couple of inches over hard pan. They all appeared to be raked nicely.
We went into the bar area afterwards and the food/beverage service looked nice. It's a fun course and I would like to play here again. » Close I played here again last Friday, 2/16/24.

It seems the course conditions are somewhat deteriorating overall. Most of the grass here is dormant Bermuda. There are areas of dirt where there should be grass growing; mostly in the rough, but many areas of the fairways. We played the Blue tees and they seemed to be beat up. Some tees needed mowing. Despite all the recent rain, there are areas of the course that seemed very dry. It would have been nice if the course had overseeded last fall. It could have been stunning by now. Other than all that negativity, there are some redeeming qualities to consider. It was only $40 Senior rate with a cart in the afternoon. There were two friendly cart girls that were very easy on the eyes. Finally, the greens seemed to be in decent condition; rolling true and few ball marks or other damage. I like playing here because it is close to home; however, I think I may be looking for other venues until the summer when things green up around here. » Close
