Played MSQ on 12/12/14. Fairways / Rough / Traps all in very good shape for a muni. Greens were quite good, smooth and quick, but not too quick. Surprisingly, not an ocean of ball marks on greens. Need to add this one back onto my bargain rotation, it was a fun day.

Highly recommended.

Still sad to see the Players course remnants out there, with nobody at all using the new park facilities.

Just wanted to provide an update on the condition of the greens. They are much improved with very few showing any signs of previous issues. They are soft and slow but much better. Many tee boxes ne... Continue »

Just wanted to provide an update on the condition of the greens. They are much improved with very few showing any signs of previous issues. They are soft and slow but much better. Many tee boxes need improvement and are in bad condition but the fairways, rough and sand traps were all in good condition.

As Previous review mentioned, the previously best greens in Orange County are now a ttrain wreck! Looks like a fungus issue post aeration. Greens are bumpy,sandy, with frequent bare spots. It’s just a luck of the draw once you get on the putting green. The fairways, traps, and two boxes are all in better than average shape.. Hopefully they get the greens under control.

I have been playing Mile Square for about 15 years now and I average about 50 rounds per year, I lovingly call it my home course. This year, April 2024, MSP aerated their greens as usual, but the healing process is nothing less than atrocious! The best greens in OC are now the worst! Two months after the aeration, the greens now have dead spots which, I think, is related to some sort of fungal issue. Anyway, it is really difficult to write this review, it is my hope that it puts some pressure on the course to improve the quality of the greens. I look forward to going back but I think it will take some time to remedy the current issues.

Very late review. Got out to Mile Square with a high school buddy on Friday, 2/23/24 at 1:40pm. I was late to look at the MS site so only late times (unable to finish) available. Saw GKer NutNButCup’s... Continue »

Very late review. Got out to Mile Square with a high school buddy on Friday, 2/23/24 at 1:40pm. I was late to look at the MS site so only late times (unable to finish) available. Saw GKer NutNButCup’s review playing a few days after I did and reiterate his observations – good greens rolling at medium speed, course still pretty wet after all the rain we had and so good fairway coverage but little roll-out. Sand damp and heavy but in good condition. Tees were in rough shape and needed to be cut. Rough was generally pretty short but could get juicy farther off the line of play and under the trees.

Greens showed lots of old and new ballmarks. Play jammed up on each of the par-3s, with 2 or 3 groups waiting on each of those tees. Overall pace was slow and front side took 2.5 hr; we finished hole 14 at around the 4-hour mark and packed it in in the fading light. Still recommended.

Walked on Tuesday early Tuesday teeing off about 6:45 finishing in 3:45. Aside from a couple of small roped off wet areas the course drained really well from the previous weeks rains. The greens rolle... Continue »

Walked on Tuesday early Tuesday teeing off about 6:45 finishing in 3:45. Aside from a couple of small roped off wet areas the course drained really well from the previous weeks rains. The greens rolled smooth with medium+ speed and held shots. The fairways had good coverage with nice lies to hit from. The rough along the fairways has good coverage. Among the trees there can be some thin/bare spots. The length of rough definitely affected shots (especially in the early morning wet) but was not overly penal. The bunkers appeared to be well groomed and in good playing condition. I was in only one good conditioned fairway bunker but my playing partners had no complaints of the greenside bunkers. The tee boxes had decent coverage and are mildly unlevel.

I wish this course would allow singles to book online when a threesome and/or twosome has booked into a tee time. I would play here more often if I didn't need to show up and get on the wait list. The staff was friendly.

Played mid morning a week after all the rain and the course is in excellent condition and had dried out nicely. The fairways were the best I've seen and were mown tight, the greens were in really good condition and ran at moderate speed. Even the sand traps were dried out and in really good condition. Had a great experience and would highly recommend.

A rare afternoon round of golf for me. It sure makes a difference playing when the fairways are dry and mowed. Actually, got a bit of roll out which is appreciated and needed, rather than the wet fair... Continue »

A rare afternoon round of golf for me. It sure makes a difference playing when the fairways are dry and mowed. Actually, got a bit of roll out which is appreciated and needed, rather than the wet fairways I'm accustomed too. Last review was spot on. Greens had decent pace and rolled well. Both bunkers I found has plenty of manicured sand. As I was playing, I was thinking how much I miss the "original" course. Still, it was nice to return and play Mile Square again.

Back out to Mile Square since all the other courses in my typical rotation had been aerated with the last two weeks. The word from the pro shop is the greens will not be aerated this fall at Mile Square. Teed off Wednesday a little after 8am and finished in 4:23. The greens were in very good condition. They rolled smooth, with medium/fast speed, and held shots. The fairways had good coverage with a few thin spots and had decent rollout on tee shots. The rough had mostly good coverage with some thin/bare spots primarily among the trees. The rough was long enough to affect shots but not too penal. The bunkers had good sand and were well groomed. The tee boxes had mostly good coverage and were mildly unlevel in spots. The staff is friendly.
