Played 08FEB2019. Course was in good shape, but SLOW. Tried to get an earlier tee time, but was denied, even though the course looked wide open when I got there. They gave me a 10 am tee time with an elderly couple. The elderly couple told me to play ahead as I'm sure they didn't want to play with me. That was OK since the feeling was mutual. I played solo and buzzed off the first 5 holes until I ran into a foursome. They let me play though on the next hole and I buzzed off a couple more holes until I ran into a fivesome on 8. I thought I could jump them at the turn, but some of them were already teeing off when I got there. A few others from their group were at the halfway house getting snacks. One of them told they would let me play though except there are groups in front of them. I saw they were waiting on 11 when I finished 10. I turned around and packed it in after 10 as I had a flight to catch. The lack of etiquette was a turnoff, but can't blame the course. Next time I won't play if I can't get an earlier tee time.
The course was in decent shape, but some of the fairways were a little shaggy. I'll chock that up to the winter season and the excessive amount of rain SoCal received that week. Pic of par 3, 9th hole.
