Shoots in the 70s

Played this course twice in the last month and I will probably never go back. Both occasions I had a tee time for around 10:30 am on a Monday morning and both times I didn't finish the first hole till after 11:30. Three group back up on most of the tees on the front nine, didn't make the turn in under 3.5 hours either time. First time the round lasted 6.5 hours, second was finished in around 6 only because two groups in front of us quit after 11 holes. Not sure if it is overbooking or what but both times I didn't see a single marshal on the course so the slow play seems to go unchecked.

The course itself is pretty nice. The greens are good quality and there are some interesting hole lay outs. Both times I only payed about $30 including cart so the pricing is reasonable. Without the slow play it would be worth playing.

Very Rude Manager.

Customer Service

"Very Rude Manager", An Eventective User from Irvine, California
I highly recomment skipping this location whilst scouting out a wedding venue.

My fiance and I were excited to view this venue as previous golf clubs we visited were spectacular not only in location but in customer service. However, from entry to exit, we were treated with utter disrespect and disdain. Both the retail associate working in the golf shop and the manager providing the tour decided we weren't worth thier time before we even opened our mouths. To this day I am not sure what gave them this impression. We were nicely dressed and were very respectful of the upscale environment. The haughty manager rushed us through the ceremony/reception site, hardly stoping to answer questions. He then lead us to his office and stated he would not waste his time on the 2nd two packages as we couldn't afford them anyway. He failed to show us the Wedding Albums which were sitting out in clear view instead opting to randomy point out images popping up on his screen saver. His smiles were rare and forced and his lackluster attitude and poor customer service were unmistakable. Overall it was a very uncomfortable and depressing experience. Upon leaving the venue, I was so upset I didn't even want to look at the last venue we had booked for the day.

Shoots in the 80s

I have to say that I liked this course quite a bit. It's not too long, but it can be narrow, and if you have a problem hitting right (like others in my party) you will most likely end up going through quite a few balls. Many of the holes on this course can be hell for slicers, as there are hazards about 10-15 yards right of the fairway. If you hit it in these hazards, you won't find your ball, but you'll likely find another!

It gets windy in the afternoon, and that can be punishing. Many holes are sloped quite steeply. The greens were a little ravaged because people don't fix their people not fixing their ball-marks, and many sand-traps were unraked. I guess that's to be expected by public users who lack respect for the course, but otherwise, the course was in good condition in March, 2009.

I drove 3 of the par fours because of the wind at the back and relatively short lengths, and most holes are fairly short, but if you're not straight, watch out!

Play was also quite slow. Tee'd off at 3:30 and only finished 12 holes by 7ish when it got dark.

All in all, I had a good time, as did the others I played with who shot in the 100's. I would definitely recommend this course to others, especially on a clear day when the course can offer stunning views of the Foothills or if you can get a discount for the course, as it's a little pricey.

Nice staff!

1st time there and it was impressive for the very reasonable green fee. Greens and fairways are well maintained. Challenging in its own way, the course is perfect for a mid or high handicapper.

Shoots in the 80s

I liked this course. Nicely maintained from end to end, good grass, nicely contoured greens. Lots of elevation changes, which made it play more difficult than it looks (especially with the 20mph wind that was shifting around while I played). A good value for twilight play during the summer. NOT A WALKING COURSE!! A previous reviewer said its a typical Driver/7 Iron course, and I would agree with that in that a lot of the par 4s setup well for that distance/shot type. However, with the wind blowing when I played, driver/7iron was the exception, not the norm, as the ball found the environmental hazard (red stake) more frequently than planned :(

Customer Service

Good, friendly.

Shoot in the 80s

This course was very difficult for me. I didnt like it very much because of the deep deep rough and the enviormental hazarda on every hole. The course was in a very good condition , but the greens were under repair so they were all sandy and slow. I guess i cant complain a lot becaue i went out for free because im in the school golf team. I got tired of walking because the layout isnt that great. You cant dee the hole if you are anywhere besides the fairway.

Shoot in the 70s

Great course!! I played it for the first time today and loved it...Tuff but fair..The first review said that it has bad greens but they where great today 11-09-2000.Most holes have narrow fairway's and the ruff is pretty long so you need to try to keep it in the short stuff.Great view's,on a clear day you can see the ocean and downtown L.A..Not very long,6300 or so but still very chalenging.
I can not say enough about this course.Also,it is very resonably priced .....

I AGREE WITH ANOTHER ONE OF THE REVIEWS IN TAHT THIS COURSE IS JSUT ANOTHER SOULESS GOLF COURSE IN A SEA OF MANY. THE LAYOUT IS TERRIBLE, IF YOU ARE A WALKER, THEY DID NOT BUILD THIS COURSE WITH YOU GUYS IN MIND. I PERSONALLY LIKE TO WALK WHENEVER I PLAY I EVEN WALK AT MY CLUB INSTEAD OF A CART MOST OF THE TIMES. THE HOLES ARE SO SPREAD OUT THAT IF YOU WALK YOU WON'T WANT TO DO IT AGAIN, AND YOU WILL PAY THE EXTRA MONEY FOR A CART. THE COURSE WAS HONESTLY IN FAIRLY GOOD CONDITION BUT THE GREENS ARE QUESTIONABLE. I PROBABLY HAVE NOT PLAYED A MEDIUM END COURSE WITH WORSE GREENS THAN AT WESTRIDGE, THE GREENS LOOK LIKE AS IF A BOMB HAD GONE OFF ON IT. IN MY GROUP THERE WAS A FORMER TOURING PRO AND MY FRIEND WHO PLAYS THE BUY.COM TOUR, AND THEY ALL HATED THE COURSE, A TRUE COURSE TESTS YOUR GAME BUT THIS COURSE IS MAINLY A DRIVER AND A 7 IRON. NOT MUCH VARIETY IN SHOT SHAPING EITHER.

Shoot in the 100s

One of the best courses for the money I have ever played. They make great use of the hills and have added lots of water to make for a terrific layout. The course makes you think, as there is risk vs reward on just about every hole. They offer five sets of tees which are really different from each other in terms of difficulty, so the layout is challenging for golfers of all levels. The course is always in good to very good condition. The greens are fast. Definitely one of my favorites.

Customer Service

It's easy to schedule tee times, and they always make you feel welcome.

The driving range is good, but service there is bad. Their ball machine is broken more often than it's working, and the golf school often takes up the majority of the tees, leaving everyone else standing around waiting for a chance to hit.
