My home course, so I have a players club membership which allows for reduced green fees. Very good test of golfing abilities; a challenging layout. You definately want to play this course the first time with someone familiar with the layout. Great ambiance, course is surrounded by vineyards. The course has a real issue with ground squirrels, so there are a lot of burrows to be aware of off the fairways. Holes 11-15 constitue a local "amen corner" as all holes except 13 have carries across either water or barranca. 13 has it's own challenges with a creekbed that can be reached with a good drive, and trees bordering the fairway on the approach.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
