I play this course twice a month with a Senior Group to which I belong and I ranked it over a year ago. I comment about it now because the strong winds that hit the area on November 30 and December 1 uprooted some 20 mature trees, including a very large oak tree. The staff at the course has put in a lot of hours getting the debris cleared away in the past two weeks, but there are still places where debris is on the edge of the fairways. Due to their limited resources, I expect it's going to take awhile before the course is completely cleared of debris. The staff is doing a great job cleaning up the course and I commend them for their diligent work in cleaning up from the windstorm while maintaining tee boxes, fairways and greens that always need attention without having to deal with extra debris on the course. The greens remain a great challenge to putt. When I take only 36 putts a round, I fell I've done well!

I play this course twice a month as part of a LaVerne Senior Group. I help coordinate this group's twice monthly rounds and the people who work in the Pro Shop are very accommodating to our group. We recently went back to Marshall Canyon twice a month because their staff is much easier to work with in setting up tee times for our group than the staff at Mountain Meadows where we were playing once a month in a rotation with Marshall Canyon. The course is not in as good a shape as it was a few years ago. It definitely could use some money invested in it to improve the fairways and, especially, to improve the cart paths which are only around the greens and the tee boxes. I hope that will happen, but I suspect the course will continue to be marginalized due to lack of dollars to improve it as part of the L.A. County Golf Course system.

I play this course with a group of Seniors every month. I sometimes play it more than once a month. It is a challenge since a ball hit in the wrong place on just about every fairway, and some hit in the middle of the fairway will roll down hill putting one in tree lines on many holes. The greens are a challenge to putt, but a challenge I personally enjoy. My last round had me taking 37 putts. Anything under 40 is a good job with the putter in my opinion and the opinion of most golfers I know who play this course. I generally do not exceed 36 putts on this course and if I'm under 36 putts I feel I've done very well.
