Played San Dimas Canyon today. Tee off was 9:45 with perfect weather conditions. Customer service was outstanding, the pro shop gentleman was pleasant and informative, directing me to the range and practice green. You will not find a regular practice area here but nets instead. The area is also off mats but they are well kept and you will still get a good warm up in because of the distance and height of the nets.
Starter was friendly and cordial and gave helpful information on speed of greens and the custom way the ball breaks.
Course is in fantastic condition. Greens were punched just Three weeks ago and there is no trace of it to be found. Speed today ran at 10.5. Greens are above average size with many undulations that keep you on your putting game. Looking at the course and elevation changes and distance to several tees I would not recommend trying to walk it here. From the back tees the course plays just over 6400 so you will get a good challenge for your game.
Fairways are lush and well defined with rough coming in at 2-4 inches with a fair but firm chance at recovery. Bunkers are well maintained are present a good challenge, with several being 4-5 feet below the putting surface. Sand quality was excellent with a good base and fluffy white conditions. Fairway bunkers are well maintained, not as challenging and green side but will still make you think about club selection.
Tees were good with some minor divot damage, and most were quite level, although some presented a bit of shag that was a little annoying.
Overall I would recommend this course with high marks, it is fun, causes you to think about your shots and has terrific views of the local mountains, and wildlife that runs freely through the course.
