There is nothing like this in Orange County, a modern Golden Age design that was executed very well. Green complexes and surrounds play firm and fast, wide fairways, small piece of property. Could play here everyday, lots of fun

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

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

A little repepitive. Feels like you play the same hole 4 or 5 times. And it's not a great hole.
