First time I have played this course ! When I make the 4+ hour drive to this area, I always play La Purisima. and why would I not as that is one of the very best and personal favorite golf courses. But with a great deal on Golf Moose, decided to give the Mission Club a try. The course was better than expected. The overall condition was excellent, except for the thin green-side bunkers and some areas in the rough.
We teed off about 10 minutes earlier than our scheduled 10:40 am tee time behind the men’s club. To my surprise and delight, finished in 3 hours 45 minutes. Not Bad ! Perfect weather, so it was a pleasure to be outside on such a beautiful Halloween day. (Oh how I love living in Southern California)
I enjoyed the course and found it very playable, although I didn’t play very well. That said, it would be hard for me to pass playing La Purisima, so this could well have been a “one and done” for Mission Club. However I do recommend playing here as the staff was great, condition very nice and if you get the Golf Moose deal, go for it !

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,
