I noticed that Upland Hills has not been reviewed for awhile, so here is the latest.
Played at 12:30 on Sunday afternoon. I live in Upland, but I haven't played here in a year because the price has been a bit ridiculous on the weekends. The fact that the price was less when I booked the tee time should've been a red flag, but I took the bait.

I'm not sure why this course has gone downhill, but I was really disappointed. First of all, the staff was friendly and we did start on time which was the best part of the day. As for the course, I knew we were in for a "rough" round after my first shot. I was just off the fairway and was lucky to find my ball in the 10 inches of uncut mess. All the mowers here must be broken down, because every hole was the same. The fairways were like light rough and the rough was a jungle. Some places over a foot deep. We lost at least 5 balls not more than 5 feet off the fairways. There is no excuse for this at all. Most all the bunkers were in horrible shape with very little sand an hard as nails. There were a few that were not that bad as well. The tee boxes were ok but not great either. The greens were the best part of the course, but were not cut and were very slow. I've been playing faster greens lately, and it was really tough to get the ball to the hole.

All in all, the POP was good even with everyone complaining about losing balls in the jungle. If you found the fairway, it was much more fun. I won't be back here until the super in charge of the course starts doing a better job. If you decide to play here before that, don't use your premium golf balls unless you can stripe it down the narrow fairways.

Well, that's my review of Upland Hills. I paid $55 and it wasn't worth $30 right now IMO.
I get that it's been hot and you don't want the course to die, but not cutting regularly causes more scalping of the grass and actually does more harm than good.
