Do Not Recall (cart included), played on Monday, March 2013 at 6am
Good Ted Robinson course. Testy because narrow fairways, good trapping, and pin placements quite hard. Too close to condos and traps not in good shape. Used for the player apptitude test for potential club pros for southern California and the scores are quite high suggesting that the course is more of a challenge than at first appears - common for Ted Robinson courses.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area
