Out this afternoon 10/28/24 walking the blues with my buddy Steve joined by a nice couple from New Hampshire. About 1.5 club wind today under 70 degree weather partly cloudy with a POP of 4 hrs 10 minutes finishing with about 10 minutes to spare before darkness.

Conditions continue to thrive at Rustic with very lush Fairways 8.5 /10, beautiful tees that have fully grown in and are level 8.5/10, medium paced rolling greens that were receptive 8.5/10 and greenside and Fairway rough that is lush and beautiful 9/10.

Was in greenside bunker left of 11 that was damp but nice sand underneath to splash out of.

Even with the recent rate increase still one of the better values around in socal for what you get. Highly recommended.

Out for back to back rounds on my home course Monday afternoon 10/14 and this morning 10/15 with both POP rounds around 4 hrs 35 minutes under cooler foggy conditions this morning and beautiful sunny conditions yesterday afternoon with very little wind to speak of. Very friendly staff both days. I had not been out to Rustic for about 4 months. Back 9 start both days The course is just thriving. Full tee sheets and very nice conditions for mid October!! The fairways are in some of the best shape I have ever seen them. Almost to lush? Very little roll out with absolutely perfect lies. Just a pleasure to compress. Rated 9/10 The greenside rough is just so beautiful here. Cut to a thicker level, uniform and in pga tour shape. Rated 9.5/10. Fairway rough is in decent to good shape. Rated 7.5/10 Greens are in great shape coming out of aerification around a month ago. Rolling pure and holding irons like darts. We felt the greens on the back were a little firmer than the front. Can't rate the tees on the front nine as they are in full maintenance completely sanded. Some of the tees on the back have minor patches of sand and maintenance going on. When the sand settles in and they are watered they will be in great shape. Was only in one bunker on hole 7 during my second round and it had a firm base but easy to splash out of. Rustic is no longer a bump and run links course! It's very lush in the fairways and currently plays longer than the stated yardage . Its softer fringes must be negotiated with the proper touch around the greens. Just love the staff, layout, challenge, scenery and fun factor here. Looking forward to some upcoming rounds here. Recommended.

This is late, but will be brief. My buddy visiting from NY and I got out last Thursday, 8/1, for an 11:20 start with two senior locals who were good company. I hadn't been here in a good while and it was nice to get back. All around conditions were solid and consistent from tee to green. Bunkers, rough and beyond can vary and get wild depending on how far you go — anything from sitting on dirt/sand to short grass to instantly lost in thick stuff. It's Rustic. The greens were reasonably quick and clean, but not as touchy fast as they can be. While warm with only light breeze at best, it wasn't the hottest of the week and we got lucky on the back nine with a high cloud cover that dialed back the sun and made it fairly pleasant — really all we could have hoped for. Pace was a little sluggish at around five hours but mostly steady. Recommended.

Walked the blues yesterday 4/2/24 joined by 3 nice singles. We had an interesting wind to say the least. Drive on 12 over the green and drive on 14 had 68 yds in taking a crazy line just right of the green to give you a couple examples downwind. Drives into the wind on hole 11 and 13 maybe got 220 yds and went nowhere...lol. Total pop just over 4 hrs. We moved well towards the group ahead of us and never saw the group behind us. Beautiful but windy day for golf. Back nine start teeing off late morning. Interesting playing 14,16,18, 1,2,3 all downwind. I think it makes the back nine a touch more manageable. The conditions continue to excel at Rustic. Probably the nicest I have seen the tees[8.5/10], greenside rough[9/10]and fairways[8.5/10]. The greens[8.5/10] were in great shape,, super smooth around a 10.5 on the stimp with no ballmarks evident. Was in Fairway bunker on 10 that was hard packed and really nice to hit a wedge out of. Very friendly staff, still a great price especially walking during the week, great layout and superb conditions right now. I can't recommend this course more than now for conditions. Go play.

Walked the blues this afternoon 3/18/24 with my buddy Matt under mostly sunny skies for most of the day and a heavy downpour of rain for 10 to 15 minutes after we hit our tee shots on number 6. POP was around 4 hrs 20 minutes. Joined by a nice twosome who also walked. If you had a camera today would have been the day to use it. The sun piercing through the clouds with as lush as the course is was mesmerizing today. Greens were in great shape rolling around an 11 on the stimp and holding shots beautiful. Several birdie pins today and some other ones tucked like back right shelf on 18. Not many ball marks to fix and they were rolling pure. Rated 8/10 Fairways are lusher than I am used to on my home course. They are a pleasure to hit irons off of but contain little to no roll. Rated 8.5/10 Greenside rough is 8.5/10 beautiful lush and cut uniform. Fairway rough has improved over the last year and is thicker than in previous drought years. Was in one bunker left of 15 that was hardpacked but still easy to splash out of. Tees are in really nice shape, level, cut tight and lush. Rated 8/10. Nice to have number 16 and 17 back two tees back to normal as the last round I played here they were not allowing golfers to tee off from the normal teeing grounds. This is about the lushest I have seen Rustic since it opened which was over 20 years ago. Still some bump and run shots available but also some shots now you can take right at the pins. Highly recommended if you like green and lush.

Walked 9 holes late yesterday 2/24/24 at 3:20pm with my buddy Matt under perfect weather conditions finishing in 2 hours joining a nice couple.

My home course is wall to wall lush conditions right now with very green fairways 8.5/10, healthy slower than normal greens rolling super pure 8/10, lush and level tee boxes 8/10 and very lush greenside beautiful rough 9/10. Was not in any bunkers but their greenside traps are always on the firmer side. Course is a great option after rains as it generally drains really well. We walked but I think pro shop stated CPO on number 2 and 3. Rustic is going to have another great year if the conditions are already this nice at the start of the golf season. Very deserved almost always rated in top 100 golf magazines for best courses.

Highly recommended if you can secure a tee time.

This is my friend group's all-time favorite course in the general LA area. So close, yet just far enough that you feel isolated. I just wish it was easier to book a tee time. 4 weeks in advance with an upcharge + mandatory payment ahead of time is tough. Wish it was easier to just call and book.

Aside from that though, I've never seen Rustic look this lush and beautiful. Consistent coverage across all fairways, fringes in immaculate shape, roughs could use a trim but still solid. The tee boxes on some of the par 3s are borderline awful, but i don't really mind it with the green you end up at. Overall, always a pleasure to play at this course. We teed off at 12:40 and managed to finish by 5:00, just as the sun was setting. No drink cart anywhere which was a bummer for a lovely Saturday, but that's to be expected these days.

Walked the blues this morning teeing off around 9am joined by my buddy Matt and a nice single from the Santa Clarita area. Pop was 4 hrs 40 minutes under perfect weather with it getting around 64 as a high today and no wind. Course drained really well after the pouring rain yesterday with just a couple standing water spots in some of the bunkers and several of the fringes wetter than normal. Rough, tees and Fairways totally playable today.

Greens were in very good shape. Rolling smooth and speeding up as the day went on. Holding shots very nicely and softly. Rated 8/10

Fairways in good shape albeit a little wetter than normal. Rated 7/10

Tees level and in great shape. Very lush. Rated 8/10

Greenside rough in beautiful shape very lush and pleasing to the eye. Rated 8.5/10

Fairway rough in decent shape 7/10.

Wasn't in any bunkers but my buddy was and they were really playing like firm waste bunkers.

Highly recommend Rustic if you can get a tee time

Course overall in good shape. Greens very good and fast. Fairways decent coverage for winter. Tee boxes were pretty chewed up. Has gotten pretty expensive now Fri-Sun.
