Played Yucaipa over the weekend and was very, very un-impressed. We got there about an hour early to get some food and hit some range balls. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that the best thing about our day was the food. We ended up teeing off 45 minutes late and although the starter was very friendly, it seemed as though he was having a hard time getting the shop staff organized. We have had this problem before with having our tee time moved back or even worse getting booked at the same time as someone else. We are 3 & 5 handicap golfers and play at a fast pace, but it seemed as though the people in front of us were playing slow on purpose. We never saw a marshal on the front or back nine to help speed up play. The staff that we did talk to said that they didn't understand either why there were no marshals.
All in all it took us 5 1/2 hours to play a round of golf! The tee boxes were the worst I may have ever seen. Not an even, flat lie on any of them. The fairways were okay in some spots and chewed up in most. The greens used to be the best part of the course, I guess that is out the window as well. I am very sad to see what has happened at Yucaipa over the last year or two and don't think I will be back there for quite awhile. Even with the discounted rates they offer, unfortunately it's still not worth the hassle. I hope that they get things straightened out up there, because that course has the potential to be one of the best in the Inland Emire. I have also been a part of many tournaments up there and a lot of those groups I played with no longer hold there tournaments at Yucaipa.

Unless you like 5 1/2 or 6 hour rounds and no marshals to keep the sanity out there...Go somewhere else!
