Entitled Asians

Round was going along fine until we drove up to the par 3 16th tee. We're a group of 4 Asians we're on the tee box who had jumped in front of us. They grinned the round to a halt
I tried to call the pro shop no answer

Great course with reasonable twilight rate on Friday

One of the greatest courses in Orange County.
Pretty touch course but fun to play. I definitely play here again.

Steep in price

Played on 12/23/23
Course saw a little rain days prior
For being priced at 165 per player I expected a little more in course maintenance.
Tee boxes are in rough shape to say the least
Muddy, patchy, barely any grass and very uneven.
Course is challenging , with hilly layout,
Lucky to have an even stance on any shot.
Ball is usually above or below your feet.
Greens were very nice but felt like we were putting on an ice rink.

Challenge

Condition was good but not great. Pace was slow. No course marshall to kick people along. Bunkers seldom raked. For the price to play this course there should be more rakes and better rakes. Bunkers the size of bus need more and better rakes.
The price I paid was good because the rate was not the regular price.
Slow pace is partially because of course policies such as cart exit signs over 100 yards from the green. Rediculous for the time it takes to park the cart and round trip to the ball walking, really slows down play.
All in all hit it straight or bring a lot of balls.

Great course conditions poor management

Booked a 6:40 tee time so i could finish quick. Staff sent groups off the front on hole 1 and back on hole 10. They sent too many groups to hole 10 for start. When we hit the turn we had to wait behind 2 groups. Threw off the round and rhythm. Entire back nine had to wait 5-10 minutes between each shot. Greens were solid. Fairways nice. But overall experience lacked due to poor course management.

Poor management

Booked 6:20 am tee time so we could have first tee time and not be held up. They put member twosome out in front of us and threesome off the back nine in front of us. Pace ground to a halt.

Pro shop and Director of golf extremely arrogant and unhelpful.

All about making money and could care less about customer experience
