After Canyon Crest, Eaglee and I headed up to Colton to scope out the course since neither of us had played it before. On such a super hot afternoon, the place was dead with only a few players out there. Friendly staff and gave us an $18 rate with a cart included. We did run into another slower twosome on the back, but were able to take advantage of the routing and jump around so as not to cross paths with them. Fortunately the wind kicked up a lot and some cloud cover came to make the back nine pretty tolerable temperature-wise. The course was in OK shape. The tee boxes were way too shaggy. Decent grass, but just needs to be cut down since it's thick, grabby kikuyu. Fairways a little dried out, but decent enough where they come into play. Some sections of rough (especially around the greens) were super, duper deep and you really had to watch your ball. Other areas are pretty bare, so you never knew what you might get. I wasn't in a bunker, but Lee found a couple and the sand looked pretty nice except for the unfortunate amount of unraked footprints. The small-sized greens were soft and rolling slow, but pretty smooth. I thought they were good and set up for aggressive shots, which is what you want on this type of course where you just want to have some fun. I thought the layout was fun. Some of the par-3s blend together, but there's a good mix of lengths from 107 yards up to 202. There's only three short par-4s. It is what it is as a short executive, the prices are reasonable, and if I lived nearby I'm sure I'd go out every once in awhile to work on the short game. They do have lights here for night play, but we noticed they weren't on every hole, so I assume it's only a 9-holer at night. Not sure about that, though.
