I played in the GK/GolfMoose event this past Monday. What a gem of a course. The course itself is high up in the Santa Monica Mountains overlooking the San Fernando Valley and has many holes running deep into some canyons throughout the property. I got there kind of late so I did not get to use the practice areas.

Greens were fast with plenty of undulations, mostly tilted towards the front. If you were putting downhill, look out! I saw a few roll off of some greens. They rolled so fast and true. I love putting on this type of green; however, this was not really my day for aiming or judging the pace. It took me a while to dial it in and I never made a long putt.

Fairways and rough were plenty green. I mean deep, dark green. The rough was not too penal in most places; more often than not, my ball sat up nicely. I actually had more problem hitting from the fairways as it was tight and very wet in the low areas. It was cart path only, so we expected it. On the bright side, you never had to walk too far as the fairways were pretty narrow. Bottles of sand/seed mixture were on the carts or available on the course.

Bunkers had really good, soft sand. It was fine and light colored and easy to hit from. Plenty of rakes to use as well.

Overall impression is this would be a great track if you played it regularly. It is very challenging because of the narrow fairways and elevation changes throughout the course. I am happy that I was able to take advantage of this opportunity to play here. I would do it again.
