The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A 1961 Dick Wilson / Billy Casper design along the Sweetwater River, with a links-leaning layout that brings the river and three lakes into play on most of the back side. A solid, walkable South Bay value with conditioning that runs hot and cold.
Consistently praised
- Wilson/Casper pedigree and water-heavy routing give it more interest than most South Bay options.
- Flat, walkable ground with room off the tee, at reasonable green fees for a full 18 with this much water.
Worth knowing
- Reviews flag firm, baked fairways and bumpy greens in dry stretches; pace can drag.
Golfers recommend
- Play the back nine like a links round; run approaches in when the turf is firm.
- Pair it with a Bonita loop next door for a relaxed South Bay double.
