JUST IN: GreensKeeper.org Announces BEST PLAYING CONDITIONS AWARDS 2021

Winners Best Playing Conditions for 2021 from GreensKeeper.org

Best Playing Conditions 2022 GreensKeeper.orgPost Covid-19, It’s finally back! Greenskeeper.org presents it’s Best Golf Playing Conditions Awards for 2021.

Not to be confused with “Worth the Green Fee,” “Best Playing Conditions” is awarded to golf courses open to the public listed on Greenskeeper.org that stand out above the rest with our site users at providing consistently the best greens, fairways, rough, tee boxes and bunkers around.

The job of the superintendent is the life blood of the golf course industry and most important contributing factor to enjoying a golf experience.  It takes enormous dedication, resources and expertise by a superintendent and their staff to provide excellent turf conditions.  A golf course is a living, breathing organism whose health is constantly in flux. Greenskeeper.org’s trademark and creed, “Know Before You Go”®, centers on communicating these current playing conditions. The rating system used on Greenskeeper.org is in part created by superintendents.

How Awards Winners Are Determined

Golf Course reviews and ratings submitted by our 76,000+ Greenskeeper.org community are tabulated over 12 months. Winners are determined for each area.

We divide awards into 10 Regions or Sections —  San Diego County, Orange County, Los Angeles County, Inland Empire, Santa Barbara County, Palm Springs Region, and Ventura County with Regional Winners for Southern Nevada, Southern California, Central California, and Northern California.

We provide the list below in no particular order.  This is done on purpose.  Any golf course that provides outstanding conditions in their region should not overshadow other golf courses simply because of their location.  For most avid golfers, the playing experience is what matters.  Knowing where to play in your area is important.

Played Pelican Hill North with my dad on Labor Day with the Labor Day email special. Course was in excellent condition and the greens were fantastic. Staff was great. Started on time and finished in less than 4 hours. Overall, a great experience and would play here again.

Golf Playing Conditions 8.57 GREAT

Played last Saturday. My first time playing here, and wow! The place is great! I loved everything about it! Now I was lucky enough to have an inside hookup that got me out for $125, I’m not sure how I’d feel if I paid the regular rate, but when I was thinking about it later, I felt that this may be in the top 3 courses I’ve played in the LA/Desert area.

Pelican was better than the Riviera, primarily in layout, they compared with course conditions. LACC was better in both layout and conditions. Yeah, I’d say Pelican may be the 2nd best place to play in LA/Desert area. The south course is lower and cuts closer to the beach. One hold has you right up over the shoreline in fact. The layout was quite varied I thought, with a meandering path throughout the resort, with few holes lined up together. The service was outstanding, I even had my car washed. I ate lunch too, that was also great, and a bunch of my friends loved the pool. I’d love to play golf here again, if I can get a deal, or feel like splurging.

Golf Playing Conditions 7.65 GREAT
Golf Playing Conditions 7.65 GREAT

Played here on 7/28/17 with a 3:35 tee time. The twilight rate was $180 and we teed off right on time. I don’t get a chance to play here very often due to the rates but when I do I love it.

The course is just visually beautiful and the layout is tons of fun. We finished in four hours with very little waiting. There are many holes that require carry off the tee but the fairways are wide enough that it is not as intimidating as you might think. If you can get off the tee consistently then you can score well. The course conditions as you might expect were very good although I did fix quite a few ball marks and the greens were slower than usual but still putted well.
Overall, the course was 7 out of 10 but I am not sure paying the rack rate of $330 is for everyone. I get it though, the property is in a multi-billion dollar area with views everywhere and the homes in the several million so it fits the needs of this affluent community. However my pocketbook just can’t handle this sort of luxury too often.
Treat yourself to a twilight round if you get a chance! Other than price, this place rates high on my favorites list. After our round we went to the bar for drinks and food. We found the food just average though which was surprising considering the clientele. The SCGA has outings here for $160 which I think is a pretty good deal and you are guaranteed to finish.

Golf Playing Conditions 7.50 GREAT

Played in a charity event on Monday morning 4/17, shotgun start scramble format. This is a top notch facility in customer service and the location of the course. Driving range was mats only and the putting green was on the small side with a putting contest going on, there are putting greens on the first tee but were under maintenance. Played the South from the blue markers and the course played tough.

Tee boxes were a little on the long side, Fairways were still dormant but had good coverage, rough is up a little and need to keep an eye on your ball because it settles down out of sight. Greens were very receptive and rolled true. Lots of subtle breaks and elevation changes on the green complexes. Club selection is tricky due to the change in wind direction and uphill and downhill shots.
Course would be a tough walk. Bring your camera because each hole has great views. Pace of Play (POP) was 5 1/2 hours due to the tournament.
