I found this course to be in poor condition. I assume the drought is part of the problem. However, the fairways
were filled with weeds, plus lots of bare spots, from the first tee through the eighteenth green. The tee boxes and
the greens were in good condition, but the rest of the course leaves a lot to be desired. On the back 9 the Chino
Creek comes into play on 4 holes. It would be helpful if there were signs indicating the distance to the creek and
the distance to carry the creek, especially when one does not have a range finder and is in a group in which no one has a range finder. To me, this would be a great improvement. Perhaps the fairways will improve when the drought
is no longer an issue.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I won't play again, I wouldn't recommend this course, More than a field, but less than a golf course, Worse than average course for the area
