This was a mid week round played a couple of weeks ago. Not much in the way of value at $95.
TEE BOXES: Generally good condition. I've seen worse but nothing outstanding about them either.
FAIRWAYS: A little on the thin side and wet. Far too many bare spots. I never used to cheat, but I've decided to start moving my ball to grass areas and bumping my lies. Why should I let poor course maintenance ruin my round of golf?
ROUGH: There really isn't any. You are either in the fairway or you have a bad/bare lie in the trees.
CHIPPING/PITCHING AREAS: Like the fairways, far too many bare spots.
GREENS: They've always had nice greens. They were in good shape with the exception of a few blemishes here and there.
BUNKERS: Although it appeared that there had been no maintenance done in several days, it was a pleasant surprise to see that the bunkers actually contained sand. A rare occurance these days in Southern California.
PACE OF PLAY: The reservation receipt said the expected pace of play was 4 hours and 40 minutes. We did a lot of waiting around and were over 5 hours. Anyone that teed off 20 minutes later than us probably played a few holes in the dark. Never once saw a marshall.
SNACK BAR: I had some of that government issued currency in my wallet that says "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private". Los Serranos doesn't really care because they are like the airlines and don't accept cash which leads to another issue. I paid $12.50 for a hotdog and a soda. That seemed a little steep and after thinking about it for a while, I realized that she never showed me the touchscreen used for the credit card transaction or gave me the receipt. This made me wonder if she also added her own unauthorized tip. I guess I'll never know. If I ever decide to return to this golf course, I think that I'll just skip the snack bar.
