First I am a bit biased as I work at this course as a player's assistant but will try to be as honest as possible. This simple layout is a bit squeezed together and is fairly flat. However, the course is challenging due to the fairways being lined with eucalyptus trees and the greens being quite fast. The greens are the best of any course south of Interstate 8 and the bunkers are perfect. The course is only 6,000 yards long from the back tees and low scores can be had if you are hitting it straight and making putts. One major tip: keep your approach shots below the hole or 3-putts will abound. The fairways are 90% perfect, mowed low, and you get lots of roll. A fun course for both beginners and skilled players.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Better than average course for the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
Condition of Course, Price, Food/ Bar facilities, Staff, No Houses on Course
