Played today with a former colleague who is a member. Having played here many years ago I remembered nothing of that experience as the course had been renovated a few years back. So it was like I had never played here before. Driving in I was afraid I was going to come around a corner and see someone coming at me. Not the greatest road I have ever traveled to get to a premier private course. But once safely in the parking lot and the attendant coming out to pick up my bag and showing me were to go to check in I began to feel like a member. Tremendous customer service from all encountered. The course is beautiful and set in such a great part of the hills in LaHabra. Quite, pristine and relaxing would be descriptions I would use as you play. And I am thankful I had a member to direct me throughout the round as it is really needed. Its also hard to believe this course has been here since the 1920's and try to imagine them building such a great golf course on this land at that time. What an accomplishment. From tee to green and hole to hole, this place is wonderful. Wonderful manicured tee boxes and lush fairways are greeting you on every hole. Traps are well stocked but very playable. Greens were around 11 and chipped, putted just great the whole round but 3 putts are just waiting for you. Rough and OB are very penal. The out of bounds is something that could give one nightmares IMO. And waiting for you at the end is a beautiful clubhouse sitting on top of a hill with views of the surrounding course and amazing homes. If you have the chance to play this course do it.
