A really good public course in SoCal about an hour and fifteen from LA. The conditions were really really good and the pace was terrific, finishing an 18 in under 4 hours (unheard of for public golf in SoCal). While the front 9 is good, only a couple holes stand out.

Can play like a desert golf course. Some lost balls out there if you are crooked off the tee. I don't think they let you walk, which means I don't go very often. I'm told they finally made the switch and the first hole is now the old 17th.

Very over priced in my opinion. Greens were alright, but fairways were balding in a lot of areas, tee boxes were beat up, lots of holes were similar. Nice range, and good views, but better value courses are in the area.

Lush green course greens not fast or slow very fair. The attraction here are the Augusta National like WHITE SAND BUNKERS.

The course has a bit of a split personality. It tries to be a little links-y in spots but parkland-y in others. There are a few bad holes (2,3,4) but the rest are a treat.
