Walked this course by myself after a morning round at Sandpiper. Played through a foursome on #7 and was able to play in 3 hours. This is a classic flat California riverside course with cottonwood trees lining the fairways. The layout was mostly running either eastward or westward so with the typical afternoon winds from the west, be prepared for 20-30 mph winds making downwind shots hard to stop on the greens and into the wind shots very tough to keep straight. However, the course layout was fun with several doglegs and good bunkering. Greens were a bit firm but fair. I would play this course frequently if I lived nearby.

Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area
