It had been several months since I played here. Course is in very nice condition overall. A few of the bunkers (greenside) could use some TLC, but generally they were just fine. Greens, fairways, rough, etc - all in good condition.

First off so pace of play not an issue. The more I play this course, the more I enjoy. Still struggle with #6 and #14, but otherwise, I find the course plays pretty easy. Staff is always wonderful!

Played this course for the 1st time today, Sat 6/9/12. Purchased a voucher via GroupGolfer.com for $27 (cart included). On weekends, can only use voucher after 11am. Called the pro-shop & was told they would be wide open after 12:30pm. I showed up @ 12:50pm & they got me right out. Was paired w/a 2-some. Teed from the Blues at about 1pm. Walked off 18 @ about 4:40pm. 3.75 hrs was EXCELLENT pace, IMO. Could've easily finished in 3.5 hrs. But we took our time & wasn't rushed.

The front 9 is a completely different experience from the back 9. That said, let me start w/my comments on the front:

Tee Boxes: Beat up. Lots of divots. Par-3 boxes were especially beat up. Really tough to find a level area to hit from. And spacing of the blue rocks couldn't be any tighter. They were always placed @ the very back edge of the box (where your back foot could very well be on the down slope). And narrow. Granted I could easily "kick" 1 rock sideways to make the tee-off area a little wider. But I'm not like that. For some of the par-4's, I might as well be teeing-off from the bushes. Going "from the tips" was a little ridiculous on several of the holes. Gotta give the player @ least a level stance to tee-off...

Fairways/Rough/Bunkers: Thin fairways. Few lush spots. TONS of divots. Rough cut short (1/4 inch). So, no real difference if you're hitting from FW vs Rough. Got in 1 FW bunker & 1 greenside bunker. Both times, ball was sitting up b/c sand was hard like concrete.

Greens: By far, the MOST DISAPPOINTING aspect of the front. TONS of marks. 1/4 of each green appeared to have been punched literally days ago. And pin placement @ or near these areas. And b/c of these punched area, VERY SANDY. Also, EXTREMELY spotty (i.e. pesticide spots, dead/brown spots, crabgrass like spots). Roll was inconsistent (smooth @ some points, ridiculously bumpy on other points). Speed was also inconsistent (firm & fast on some points, less firm & slow on others).

Now, on to the Back 9...

Tee Boxes: Level and, for the most part, lush. Par-3 holes were semi-beat up, but nothing like the front. Spacing of the rocks was better. It must be noted, though, that on a few of the holes, the boxes were moved up. Example, #10 blue rocks were @ the 360 white marker.

Fairways/Rough/Bunkers: FW were much more lush. Rough still cut short. Much less divots in FW compared to front 9. Got in 1 FW bunker (#14) & 2 greenside (#12 & #15). #14 was like concrete. #12 were more "powder" like.

Greens: MUCH nicer compared to front. Firm w/more consistently smooth roll. Less marks. Still had 1/4 of each green punched. But pin placement was more or less away from these areas. And less spotty compared to front 9 greens. And few instances (maybe 2) where green was sandy.

Other aspects to comment on:

Course Layout/Challenge -- 3.5 stars. Similar layout compared to its neighbors Eagle Glen, Hidden Valley, etc. Course is wider/more open vs Eagle Glen. Wind is definitely a factor, esp on the back 9. Basically alternate each hole, on the back, if the wind is howling (i.e. at your back on 10, into the wind on 11, at your back on 12, etc.) #11 is a par-3 232 yd hole that played more like 260 yds due to being into the wind.

Amenities/Customer Service -- 2.75 stars. Clubhouse = trailer. But it is equipped w/everything you need & does have a bar inside. Very friendly staff. Girl in the shop was very nice (& cute). Saw cart girl (also cute) once on each side. Decent carts, but no gps. And the big thing = NO DRIVING RANGE, which is why this category gets less than 3 stars for me.

Overall experience -- 2.75 stars. Let me state this now...the course is worth a $27 voucher. Where else can you play a round of 18 on a par-70 6500 yd course WITH CART for $1.50/hole?!? Granted, the front&back are like night/day and the overall course conditions are nowhere close to private country club level. Nonetheless $27 is a good deal to play this course. Now, for people, like myself, that have to drive an hr & change to get here...I would say that its NOT worth the $27 voucher. If they do some work on the front 9 & get the entire course to a consistently decent level on all aspects, then I would change my tune. But if I have to drive out to the inland empire, I would choose Goose Creek, Oak Quarry, & others before coming here. But if I was a local, my price ceiling, based on current conditions of the course, would be $35 to play this course.

I've played Dos Lagos 3 times in the last month and a half, and will again tomorrow. The small portions of greens that have been punched were not in play if you were within 40 feet of the flag on your approach...as for the pitch marks in the greens, the players are to blame for that. The only suggestion I can make would be some reinforcement of fixing ball marks. Maybe an incentive from the marshall if they see people fixing them. It saddens me that people weren't taught like I was, to fix your ball mark plus any others you find, at least two. All in all, considering the great email deals for golf, cart and lunch, this has become one of my favorite So cal (affordable) courses. These fairways are Perfect, I like the fact I can still play the ball if I miss it. I couldn't tell you much about the bunkers since I managed not to find myself in one yet. Staff is incredible, lunches are filling...though I'd rather have lunch or a sleeve than a tee shirt for my round tomorrow.

Thursday morning, 8 AM tee time and only took 5 hours to play. Behind the slowest 2 threesomes I have ever been behind. Oh well, the course itself is beginning to fade into the night. About 4 greens are severely pocked marked, several were freshly punched, some are dying with some sort of disease. I sure hope they find a greens keeper that can save it, I really like this course but it is going in the wrong direction.

Don't know what course Jerry64 played, but it wasn't this one. Fairways were as lush as they can be. No bare spots, hardpan or whatever he complained about. Greens were pock-marked like he said, but you gotta blame LAZY, INCONSIDERATE golfers for that. Traps were mushy due to overnight rain, so hard to rate. Overall conditions were excellent. Customer service is the best that you ever find. Will definitely return.

Played 4-25-12

Been playing DL since it opened and without a doubt, these are the best fairway conditions they've ever had. Not a bad lie all day! The bermuda rough is still trying to kick in and is still a few weeks away, but it is very playable as-is. The greenside bunkers were all in excellent shape, while the fairway bunkers were firm but playable. As always, the greens were a little pock-marked because of lazy golfers not repairing their damage, but they were easily fixed. #3's green has some repair work going on in the middle-front.

Customer service was again excellent, especially the starter who was more than gracious and helpful.

Nice to be able to hit balls into the net before the round, -especially since there was nowhere to do so before. There's just no room for a driving range so they've made the best of it.
