Played at 6:30 am and got the round in at 3 hours 15 minutes. Nice open-country course with no houses. Lots of oak trees and native areas that you must stay out of. (plus, beware of the poison oak!) Pick the correct tees as 4 or more holes require big tee shots just to clear hazards or brush. Fairways are decently wide but going 5 yards off the fairway can often mean trouble. Pretty nice greens that looked slow but can really run out past the hole. Best to stay below the hole when possible. Tough opening holes - if you can par 1, 2, and 3 you are really off to a good start. The 17th hole, a par three, reminds me of many tree-surrounded holes you might find in the north or eastern US. Real nice course for the cost.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
