Playing Conditions 9.16 IMMACULATE

I started my New Year’s Day here. I had a 8 A.M. tee time, but had a frost delay for about 30 min., after the delay was lifted, we where given the opportunity to go to the range and practice area. They have one of the best short game and practice area, that I’ve used.

Now to the game. The tee boxes have been one of the best I have played on in a long time. They are large firm and flat, with minimal, to not damage. The fairways are large and spacious, not too many trees to hit into. But there are so gorgeous and majestic views from some of the back 9 tee locations, so there are forced carry to reach the fairways. It is a must to play the proper tee locations, I played white, which was good for me. The fairways are firm flat and have some lushness to it. The rough was cut down, so it was easy to play through those lies.
The bunkers are placed on many of the holes, which adds to the beauty of this course. The sand was a bit firm, not fluffy, but playable. The greens rolled really fast, I mean really fast, but true. the greens also have some angulation, you need to read before striking your putt. If you are above the hole, be careful, because a miss 1st put may give you and additional 2 or 3 putts to finish. I saw more putts, barely tapped, run 8-10 feet passed, because of the angulation. A couple of hole had pin placements right on the edge of the slope.
Overall the course is in super condition, it has great views and character throughout the layout of the track. It should be a must play for your Bucket List for 2018.

Golf Playing Conditions 7.51 GREAT

Played 5/26.  First out, a real treat; course in very good shape.  All the rains really helped. greens are tricky to read, especially anything coming in from the sides towards the hole.  It plays with more break than your eyes see.  If you miss, keep everything under the hole if possible.  Chipping and pitching from the sides is challenging, greens are bigger than they look, and being closer to the ocean, the ball does not carry like it does inland.  Consider taking a longer club on some approach shots, especially since many greens slope pretty good from front to back, with some false fronts.

Course is now open to the public, but, call ahead; lots of member groups, outings etc. just to be on the safe side.  Owned by the same gentlemen who bought La Purisima, a good choice to play, if in the area, stay healthy, drive safely,

Played 7-3-17 on a Teeoff deal for $90 playing as a foursome teeing off at 11:10 and finishing at 3:50.

Tee boxes were in really good shape, level and lush. Fairways were very nice and lush with descent roll out and the ball sitting up nicely. Rough was very healthy and thick, 2-3 inches in most areas with some areas being a little longer. Was in two green-side bunkers that had very nice white sand. Greens were in good shape rolling medium pace and fairly smooth.
Overall course was in really good shape. Rack rate is a little steep here but if you can find a deal it is worth playing.

I played yesterday joined by rudyclub. I used the birthday deal of $12 cart fee. The guys in the pro shop were so friendly and it was no problem that I had forgotten to bring the printed voucher with me. This was my third time playing here and it was, without any doubt, the best conditions I’ve ever seen here. The fairways were lush with hardly any brown spots. There were quite a few divots along the way but none that affected my lies. The tee boxes were not all level and had lots of divots but again, no problem. I was in two bunkers. One was very damp but both had plenty of sand. The greens were awesome. They were so soft that ball marks were really deep but it seemed the players before us did a good job of repairing theirs because I found very few other than my own to fix. The greens are challenging with some hard to see breaks and a good medium fast speed. This is such a fun course. It’s short but definitely challenging with its target style layout. That, combined with the beautiful scenery, has made Mt. Woodson a favorite. If it was closer I’d play it a lot more often. Highly recommended .

Played here 1/8/18 on a relatively cool cloudy day. Few sprinkles dropped on us but not enough to effect our golf. What can I say about Eagle Falls? Its one of my favorite course in the area and I am always pleased with the experience here. It has great layout and conditions are always in top notch condition. Bunkers could be little better but I’m really being picky here since I’ve gotten to play at Mission Hills Country club and their sand.

Customer service by the cart guys could use little improvement but not bad enough to deter you from coming to the course. These guys seem to want to be anywhere else but here. Pro-shop guys were cordial so no issues there. This is one of the course I always look forward to visiting and it never disappoint. Hopefully I’ll get another opportunity in the future.

Played 6/29 @ 810 am as a 2 some. POP 4 hrs, there was nobody out there (semi-private).

All grass range, no fee for balls. You could beat balls all day long. Nice short game area and putting green, did I say they were in perfect condition? By far the best conditioned course I’ve ever played, from tee box to fairways to greens 9.5/10. Greens were absolutely perfect , I mean perfect. Every put would roll so pure. If you did miss, it was all on you. Felt bad taken divots from the fairways they were that good. One thing you need is a laser range finder, all they have is 100, 150, 200 markers , that’s it.
Had a stay and play package with 2 free rounds of golf, great deal. Played Pebble later that day, great warm up course and in way better condition.

I played Rancho Solano with Johnny GK & CIT on 7/20. Part of a 36 hole day up in Fairfield.

Golf Playing Conditions 7.41 GREAT

We tee’d off promptly at 7:15AM, weather was perfect in the high 60’s with just a hint of a breeze.

Rancho Solano is tucked into the hills between Fairfield and the Green Valley area. It’s about a 5 min drive off Interstate 80 which makes it very accessible to anyone headed to Sacramento or San Francisco from the Valley, and only 20 minutes from the 680/24/4 corridor.

The course was in great shape, from the tees thru the greens. From the blue tees the course runs around 6500yds. You don’t need to be long off the tee to score here.

The fairways are very accessible and fair, with some mild to aggressive doglegs.

Once you get to the greens the game changes. The greens are very large with many contours, ridges, and tiers. The pin placement for the day made for some challenging putts. Your short game will make or break you here.

I really enjoy this course and the unique challenge of the green complex’s.

Golf Playing Conditions 7.73 GREAT

Played 1-6-18 first out as a single playing in a little under 2 1/2 hours. With nobody in front of me, nobody behind me, and no maintenance people around it felt like I had my own private golf course. Course conditions haven’t changed much since last time I played here. Rough my have been cut down a little lower, and greens were a little softer, but everything else was in the same good shape.

One of the best and most challenging courses in CA. The course is in a beautiful area with rolling hills and trees if you hit your shots offline. The course looks benign but it is very tough. While the fairways and greens are in excellent shape, the rough is bumpy, can be very tough and is inconsistent. You are at the mercy of your lies when you miss the fairway. A couple tee boxes could be fixed – mostly uneven, but this is minor to me, overall they are OK. The wind almost always picks up in the afternoon making the course more of a challenge. The sand traps sometimes are firm and there are a lot of high lips so it depends where you are in the trap as to difficulty.
The 15th hole can be played safely by hitting it straight, but the hole would play better if they cleaned up (it is bare, bumpy, dusty and with a lot of burrowing animal holes) the area left of the bunkers on left side of fairway and allow a good shot in that direction.
Other than that the course is a gem. Usually only crowded (and still mildly) on the weekends. Great people work there and it is a hidden gem.
