Played on 7/23/12 and 7/24/12. Took advantage of the $26 after 11am weekday special. The weather was a bit warm on both days 90 degrees but with the wind it wasn't that bad. The course managers did how ever decide to water the greens and fairways a wee bit much. The greens were soak but they did roll nicely. There were a few ball marks but most amateurs don't know how to fix a ball mark correctly. The tee boxes were very lush and at times furry. The fairways were lush and at time soaking wet with a few dry spots. Not a lot of roll. The ruff was about 3-4 inches long. The thing I like about this course is that this course is very open. You can hit a stray drive on another fairway but you have the opportunity to hit it on the green on your second shot. The thing I dislike the most is that most of greens on this course is elevated. holes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 16 have all raised greens. I guess this is the only defense next to the thick ruff and trees for punishing the players. The bunkers on the course is never raked by the greens-keepers and is filled with compact wet sand which makes hitting out of them reasonably easier from the fairway bunker and very difficult from green-side bunkers. I do love this course. When the wind is blowing (usually from the south-east) it makes most of the par 4's very long. I like the practice areas on this course as well. The driving range is all grass and their is a short game area by the 18th green and a few putting greens around the club house. Don't expect to buy any golf equipment on this course as the pro-shop is no longer there. The city decided not to renew their contract with the shop owner. This also effected Rancho Park as well. Shot 77 on Monday and 79 today. I started off as a single on Monday and started off as a twosome but I let the guy I was playing with go ahead because he was one of those guys who just hits and hits and hits. Very fast player.I play fast but his guy must have been going some place important quick because after the third hole he was gone. Most of the course was open and empty pretty much all day except for the junior tournament behind me. Finished both days just over 3 hours. Over all very pleasant days of golf. Staff is always friendly and the bar is waiting with open arms right passed the 18th green to celebrate a birdie or to console a bogey.
