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!

The day started off badly and only went downhill from there. Tried to check in, but they said that someone had already checked in under our name. Then, we find out we were quoted the wrong fees over t... Continue »

The day started off badly and only went downhill from there. Tried to check in, but they said that someone had already checked in under our name. Then, we find out we were quoted the wrong fees over the phone. Apparently their junior rate disappeared sometime last week and were charged full fee for my 13yo nephew. After that debacle got resolved, we went to the starter who was checking someone under our name (again). The group ahead was soooooooo slow. The marshall came out at least twice to speed them up, but they still kept a backlog of at least 6 groups behind them. I'm pretty sure I'm not going back.

I enjoy playing this golf course because of the friendly staff and the good serivce. The new GPS system helps with pace of play and yardage.
The conditions have improved a lot in the last 8 months with a new superintendent in place.
Bunkers are edged now and aerification is being done to soften playing conditions and improve turf quality.

I highly recommend it, it is the best value in the area and the only course that has no wind when everyone else is getting blown away.
The course sits in a box canyon and it is amazing how it protects it from the wind.

7:37 AM tee off. Course was in very good condition. Tee boxes were lush an a bit uneven, but OK. Fairways were lush and rolling decent. Rough was on the short side, maybe 3 inches. Greens were soft and receptive and on the fast side. Some of the bunkers had mostly dirt (or dirt/sand mixture). Overall a good golf outing, it was a bit slow, 4 1/2 hr round, but no waiting on tee box. $25 with coupon from LA Times, such a deal!!!!

Played on 7/18 and course was in very nice condition. The greens were smooth though on the slow side. This is a fairly well maintained golf course with good rates, don't expect anything fancy like clubhouse or food and drink choices. Mainly just golf here, course is not overly challenging but once you get to the greens you will discover the secret to scoring well here. Greens are the hardest to read from 5ft. and closer I have ever played. Not inconsistent, just odd breaks and always mainly around the cupl

Played Yucaipa Valley on Sunday 7/13! Course was in great shape! Greens were lush and fairly quick, which was nice. Fairways were in good shape, but unfortunately the golfers who play there do not replace divots or fix ball marks on the greens. We had a foursome and teed off around 9:00. We finished in under 4 1/2 hours which was pretty good considering how busy they were.
We checked in 45 minutes early to check in and hit some range balls, but unfortunately they do not have grass tees available. They had two levels of grass tees that apparently they don't use anymore. Hint to the Managament.....Open up the grass tees! A lot of us have to travel to other courses who offer grass tees and would rather make the short trip to Yucaipa. The mats were fairly new and the range was pretty busy as well. They have a couple fairly large practice greens to putt on and a very poorly set-up chipping area with a fairly large bunker next to a very steep sloped green. Kinda weird, and not a good place to practice bunker shots.
The Restaurant was small but efficient and the food was very tasty!
The Pro in the shop was very inviting and polite and we were in and out in a few minutes. We signed up for Rewards Cards, or what was explained to us as a "Frequent Shopper" card that is free and gets us free goodies.
The only thing we didn't understand about the course is why they do not have a clubhouse. They appear to be operating out of portable buildings. It seems as though they make do, but let's hope they get one built in the near future. I know I would move my golf tournament up there if they had enough room for us, for sure!
We had a great time although we did not play very well. We will be back very soon, especially now with all the coupons and discounts they offer.

This course is in GREAT shape right now! Tees are smooth and not chopped up (though #8 was re-sodded), the fairways are in great shape, there's sand in the bunkers, and the greens are in shape and fast. It's a well taken care of course. Very nice. Walked up and teed off around 12:30 today (Monday) and took about 4 hours to play.

I have played this course several times. The course is moderately played, but generally after 12 the pace of of play is quick, especially on weekdays. It can get busy on weekends. The course is a very playable course and overall has consistent quality fairways, rough and greens. I would rate this course better than average and greens can be a challenge and the best feature of the course. Overall, a very enjoyable course and worth the green fees. I will be back to play it several times to come, I am sure.
