    Not a good piece of land for a golf course, it makes the best of it. Always in great condition

    This is one of the better expressions of a golf course melding into a community seasmlessly in southern california. The staff steal the show every time. The service level is through the roof. Greens are typically good-to-solid.

    Very barranca-happy layout. Greens had good form, but a little too soft for my liking.

    Great track weaving through a canyon. Back 9 was gorgeous, especially the last two finishing holes. Difficult, but fair course.

    This course had some pretty cool holes, especially on the back 9. However I don’t know if it was enough to justify the price tag, there’s other similar courses for cheaper at peak times that I’d rather play.

How we rank

This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Newport Coast, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
