Gold tee boxes were ratty; often not any where NEAR level anywhere on them. Greens were lumpy and uneven also. Grass on course is a mix of crabgrass, bare spots and turf.

Played it early; finished in just over 3 hours! Challenging but fair. LOTS of traps; I think I found them all. Greens were great; rolled true, few unrepaired ball marks. Super value. Drove up from San Diego: we'll play it again soon.

Played course in early 70's a lot, went back to play it again. Still has a nice ambiance and I had fun. Not overly difficult, but some trouble. Nice layout.

Average course...at $49 internet price w/cart worth a try. Located adjacent to I-15, some holes next to freeway. Hilly front 9, flat back 9. Lots of OB areas.

Requires shot making ability and occasionally some length. A fun course to play if you're having a good day.

This course surprised me. The first few holes are fitted between houses, but then it opens up. Lots to unique features to each hole. Challenging but fair. I'd play it again if I was in the area.
