Walked the Blues (6700/72.0/127) in 4H early afternoon, played with Paul. Breezy, partly cloudy and in the 60's. $15 Sr. rate to walk was outstanding. I see many reviews start with commentary about a poor interaction(s) with course staff. Not my experience here by a long shot. I called 3 courses close by after my morning round to inquire about rates/availability. One could not even reach their pro shop. Another the guy acted like I was asking for some special favor to get him to tell me how much it cost for a single to walk. Here, I got Tony, and he was the reason I chose this course to play in the afternoon. Tony quickly gave me the rundown on fees/availability. When I arrived, he quickly got me processed and on the first tee. But not before hooking me up on their Sr. rate and when he found out my first time here, grabbed a course yardage book and was giving me tips on numerous holes. Customer service is an attitude, and Tony could have run a customer service clinic. Much appreciated! Tees mostly good with a few needing divot repair. Fairways more lush than thin but were spotty. Rough was mostly winter thin where there was rough, lusher around the greens. It had many hardpan areas that looked like they had quit watering those areas long ago to conserve their water for the more important areas? Should not be that far off the fairway anyway. Traps were okay. Texture I liked and I sure sampled enough to be able to accurately rate them. Greens were firm and quick. I had 2-3' coming back seemingly on everything AD. The were smooth and rolled well. Needed to factor in some runout on iron shots. No on course services. Busy restaurant onsite. Okay layout in very playable condition, plus it's right off the 15 freeway. The course was in better playing condition overall than Hesperia which I played in the morning. However, even though hilly, the layout was more vanilla with less fun holes overall IMO. Would occasionally play if local, but liked Hesperia better overall. Recommended.
