Thanks to michaelko for setting the tee time. Note to self: always check they have a fivesome rule for carts. Played originally as threesome with David808 and Thingstodo with Mike and his friend playing in the group ahead but caught up with them after 7 holes. Course in good shape. Greens were a bit sluggish but very nice. Balls rolled where they should have. Sand in bunkers are hard packed but well stocked. Fairways were lush and manicured. Rough was thick in places and a little sparse in others. Overall although I played for crud, we had a nice outing. Nice to put names with faces now. Thanks for Things (aka Mike) for showing up. Thanks fo MK for putting it all, albeit short notice, together. Course played quickly for Friday. I recommend this course to anyone wishing a challenging series of golf in the Mid cities.

Played on Friday with some new great friends met here on GK. I must say I had a fantastic time. First time at the course, very enjoyable round. It was pretty hot though, walking wasn't bad at all.

Played on Friday with some new great friends met here on GK. I must say I had a fantastic time. First time at the course, very enjoyable round. It was pretty hot though, walking wasn't bad at all.
The greens were rolling nicely, even though I was reading the breaks poorly. The pin placer was in a fiesty mood, on six holes it was on a side slope.
Really enjoyed the layout of the course. Some long par fours and the 235 yd par three wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
Fairways in great shape, a couple wet areas that weren't staked as ground under repair.

Am looking forward to the next get together wherever that may be. The traffic wasn't bad at all that friday eve either! I arrived home with a smile on red sunburnt face. Thanks guys, thanks Ring! Good to meet you!

played fri 7/6 1pm tee time... GK meet... pretty fun. course in great shape. hot. greens at a good speed. we had 5... and we were walking, so they made us go 2/3... and we were cruising along (not too busy) until the par 3, where we hooked up as a 5 for the rest of the round. riding 5 in front, riding 5 behind. waited a few times for the group in front. never saw the group behind. for all the slack 5somes get, it's a good policy for the course to have. just sucks for us, but it worked out.

For those who remember the way Rio Hondo was before the remodel (60's and early 70's) Ya got to love this place. Only play here once a year, but the course is always in very nice shape the ambiance around the club house is really first class for a public facility. This course is what many other courses should aspire to become. My only complaint is that we had a 5-some (all walkers) and you can't believe the hassle we got from the staff and marshalls about violating policy. (Apparently if you have 5, everyone must ride - well they should mention that when I make the tee time, which they did not, so after some b$tch ing, they finally relented and allowed us to walk. The fact is we waited nearly every hole for a 4-some with carts and the 4-some behind us (with carts) never got within a hole of us. The marshall watched us for about 5-6 holes, then realized since we were waiting and not being waited on, there was no problem here. maybe they should rethink their policy. make evryone walk!. No that won't work because it would cost them too much revenue.

Played sat 6/16, 6am tee time... 4 hr rd. Course in great shape. Greens are picking up speed. rough is gnarly. not deep, but thick and penalizing.

Played today(6-10-07) at 6:00p.m. got about 14holes in. Course was great condition for all the weekend play it got. Over all condition = very good. Tee boxes = very nice. Fairways = very good (tight & fast). Rough = thick N all areas(good challenge). Greens = nice and fast & true. GO PLAY IT!!!! worth the dollar.

Greens & fairways are in great condition. Rough when wet is really tough. Good sand quality in the bunkers. Pace is a bit slow even for early weekday morning but a great place to play right now.

always a excellent course to play. conditions were just as good as ever. nice smooth fast greens. tee boxes are always good. fairways were nice. traps were even pretty good.

only complaint is the backed up play. took us about 4 1/2 hrs to finish with a lot of waiting. at least half the round we were waiting to hit. on a particular hole we were waiting for 3 groups

still a great place to play. wish it were a tad bit cheaper, but you definitely get what you pay for

Over All course condition = pretty damm nice. :)~ Tee boxes = Level and tightly mowed. Fairways = good shape. people are takeN care of fillN there divots. Rough = 2 inches or so. It can be a challenge. Greens = almost near perfection. pace of greens just a little above average. RollN true and not bumpy. Trust your read and there will be some liquid drainO.
