Tourist course typifies socal

Course always seems to be packed. Construction on the former Friars 9 continues to affect 3 holes. Fairways have a few bare spots, greens in very good shape.

Definitely Worth It

Great course, and course conditions were pretty good. The only complaint would be slow play in front of us and the group behind us was on top of us the entire time. Other than that, highly recommend it for the price and the difficulty of play.

Not what it used to be

Course is in rough condition, construction throughout and not much of a bang for buck anymore.
