I played in a hosted event so I didn't have to pay for it. I do know what the green fees are and this is not an inexpensive course. That said it is an excellent golf course.
You won't find many courses in OC in better condition. We did not see a bad lie in the fairway all day and the greens are fast and true. They've also done a great job making you feel like you're out in the middle of nowhere when in fact you're in the middle of a busy area. No houses and only a few places where you can see anything but a golf course.
The layout itself is interesting and challenging without being unnecessarily penal. I play to an 8 but from the right tees anyone from 20 down could have fun and be able to score well.
Really one of the nicest in the area and of course they are getting a fee commensurate with a fine California golf course.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Expensive and worth it
Condition of Course, Food/ Bar facilities, Difficulty, Ambiance, Staff, Layout, No Houses on Course, Clubhouse
