Not open but didn’t tell anyone

They literally sold online tee times but were not open. No signs. No messages. No one to answer the phone. Mail box full so can’t leave a message. But still selling tee time reservations on their website and on tee off

Could be better

My neighbor called me on Wed afternoon and said that his travel plans to the Central Coast had been canceled and that we could play golf on Thursday if I could find a T-time. Living in South Orange County and being Christmas Vacation time for all the schools etc. everything close was booked so I found Cherry Hills listed at 11:00 am on Thurs that had two slots left, so even though a little bit of a ride, I booked. We got to the course about 30 min ahead of our time and had plenty of time to get golf ready and after checking in the starter said we could go whenever and so we did. We played from the white tees which on the card said it was over 6300 yds but due to wet conditions played about 20 to 40 yds longer on every hole except the par 3's. We expected the weather to be on the cool side but with the Sun was about perfect, starting out at about 60 degrees and ending the day at about 70 degrees. We had a good day of golf and could see where this course was pretty good in its day and could be again if someone invested some money into the physical layout, etc. Would not drive over 50 miles to play again unless the same situation that occurred this week happened again.

Another waste of space

Forget other reviews, the only good of this course is a place to tee it up and hit the ball, find it and hit it towards a green hardly worth calling a green. Maybe putt out and go to the next stand of grass tee it up and hit away again. The place needs millions of dollars worth of renovation and the chance of that happening is zero. Too bad as the potential for a good course is still burred out there. Take it for what it is worth a place you can hit your driver and take a few mulligans because no one is going to care.

On par for the value

Played a two-some and had a blast. Let me get it out of the way that I have played on better maintained courses. But for the service we received, the personable staff, the pace of play, the course layout, and the affordable green fees, we would play here again. I recommend that the owners invest in aggressive maintenance and further beautifiying this course to make it one of the gems of Menifee.

Horrible Conditions

Everything on this course was horrible. From the Driving Range (the practice balls included) to the practice putting green and the actual course was horrible.
The fairways were replete with holes and tall grass. Golfers were all around the included on the greens. Just horrible conditions at no time did we see maintenance workers on the course. We should’ve asked for our money back. So sad.

needs somebody to take care of it.

Greens are slow and some have patchy spots on some areas and a few are extremely patchy. Fairways are not mowed and grass is hard to find. Ground squirrels have taken over. Bunkers are not maintained at all. If you want to just practice and bump the ball it is good for that. Was a great course at one time. Layout is still amazing and extremely long from tips. Wish somebody would buy it and bring it back to life.

not getting any better

All It would take is a little TLC for this course to become very playable. The course is currently in horrible shape. You can barely tell the fairways from the out of bounds. A little watering would go a long way here Also, bulldoze the out of bounds to get rid of the squirrel infestation. You cant even drive on the fairways without hurting your back because of all the squirrel burroughs.

Worse course I’ve ever played. I have not played there in over a year and I was very disappointed on how the course was maintained. I’ll never play there again until they clean that course up.

What’s Happening????

We golfed two months ago after taking a 2 year break from Cherry Hills. Two months ago we saw great changes to the front nine. We had high hopes for the back nine at that time but they were still gopher controlled fairway.
On Friday the thirteen after two months, the course was a mess AGAIN. The tee off areas were 50% dead and hard to find (we hit from the red area).
The fairways were ankle breakers and I’m golfing with two new hips. If I fell, broke not only my ankle AND hip….I’d own the course. The owners can get rid of the gophers. Other local courses do.
And the greens, two months ago, were getting to a great review!

Oh yes…I forgot about the grounds keeper who needed to cut the fringe of the second hole and continued to do so while we putted.
REALLY!?!?!

On the thirteenth we decided to stop coming to Cherry Hills again.
New owners or not, please figure it out because locals love a GREAT course nearby.

This one is embarrassing ,

They have given up!

I occasionally play Cherry Hills when I want to practice under real course conditions. I often have the place to myself and can play multiple balls & different clubs & techniques.
Today was different. There were few "real course conditions" to be found. I have never seen a course in worse condition! It seems like the owners are preparing for closure. There was a worker mowing one fairway and the cashier in the pro shop. I did not see another living person the entire round. It should have been a clue when my car and one other were the only vehicles in the parking lot at 1:30 on Friday afternoon.
The tee boxes were un-mowed and looked more like a pasture. Some tees were not even marked (I just hit from where they used to be). Some fairways have giant dirt patches instead of grass. The bunkers, on the other hand, have plenty of grass. there were holes where you can't tell the bunkers from the fairway. Most greens were severely distressed. a few looked like dried, cratered mud puddles instead of grass. The rough hasn't been mowed in weeks or more. just off the dead fairways was 1' - 2' tall grass/weeds. Next time I want to practice off the range, I'll go out in the field behind my house. it's the same thing with a shorter drive.
