Stay to the left 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 1, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

All the things mentioned in previous review.

Pro shop has discs for sale, including the Santa Cruz Screaming hand and red dot discs (Awesome)!

Bar and Grill onsite (reasonable prices for drinks).

One fee allows for unlimited rounds.

Cons:

$17.00 a round. Would be better at a cheaper price, but it is nice to play a Masters course on a manicured ball golf course (so, this could be a pro and a con).

Other Thoughts:

Beautiful though a bit pricy and repetitive 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 8, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course is on the front nine of the De La Veaga golf course, which provides a gorgeous venue - manicured fairways, huge old-growth pines and redwoods, and gently rolling terrain. It wasn't too hard to find our way. The pro shop has maps, though the map is mostly a mix of dark grey and black (still decipherable). The tees are well-marked, with most of them on cart paths. One tee (a turf mat) was pretty full of mud.

Favorite holes: 3, 6, 9, 14, 15.

Cons:

The course follows the main cart path in a counterclockwise loop around the front nine, so there are a lot of holes that require left-to-right throws that begin on the path and end near it. While many of them would be a nice hole on its own, there's a lot of redundancy. I have my own way of rating whether a course is lefty or righty where a strong advantage (or an advantage on a scoring hole) is two points, a slight advantage is one point, and neutral is zero. By my count, this course is 17 to 4 as a lefty course. If you're a righty, it's a great place to practice turnover drives.

Other Thoughts:

Would be a 3.5, but the relatively high price keeps it at a 3.0.
