It is just a shame this course is not run better. Generally most of the staff are friendly and helpful. Course conditions are excellent, especially given it is in the middle of summer and 5 years into a drought. Layout is great, practice area is nice. However this is ruined by the pace of play and the overbooking of the course. It is never, ever, under 5 hour round at Mountain Meadows. And the norm is 5:30 minutes to 6 hours. Dont go on a weekday thinking it will be much better. Tee times are usually 20-40 minutes behind even in the morning. Pulling up to hole #5, expect three groups to be sitting there waiting. Pulling up to hole #12, expect three groups to be sitting there waiting. Just to give an example, the other morning we had a 9:20 tee time, didnt get to tee off until around 10:00, finished at 3:35. How can you already be 40 minutes behind at 9 in the morning? Heard the group in front of us say "we should let them play through, but they will still wait on every group in front of us anyway." There is never an option to play through because carts are backed up on every tee. It is the norm to see fivesomes teeing off from the blues, and no one in the group getting it more than 100 yards down the fairway. Course conditions are great, especially since they replaced the bunkers and started properly raking them. I would gladly pay 65-70 dollars to play this course on the weekend if I could get a round in at any decent pace, and they had some marshals who actually enforced pace of play. There are several holes that are notorious for back ups, and hiring a few fore-caddies would make a huge difference. The problem is that each week they are still packed, and thus the problem will never change. Generally most of the staff appear to be embarrassed because they know its a problem, and arent empowered to do anything to fix it. I generally feel sorry for them and all the complaints they have to deal with. Dont think things will be any better if you go over to San Dimas. The course management there is even worse, and pace of play might even be slower, but thats a different story. Not to mention the course is more expensive and not as nice. I wish they would implement a few ideas: -Have an early morning tee times (6:30 -8:30) for $60 that are further spaced out for people who want to play fast and have a few staff enforcing pace of play for this group. -Having the starter inquire about handicaps and require 20+ handicappers to play from the whites or reds -Clear out some of the trees on the trouble spots on the course to help speed up play. -remove the general option of booking a fivesome, and only allow by special request, and monitor these groups for pace of play -When the course gets backed up, offer free range balls to the groups who will be teeing off more than 10 minutes after their original tee time Its a shame because I enjoy playing this course so much. It seems like there are so many opportunities here to speed up play, but looks like none of them will be addressed anytime soon.

I totally agree with the comment below about their horrible staff. I played a round on a Saturday. The pace of play was horrible. We played until 12th hole and finally called the pro-shop to complain. The guy who answered the phone was defensive from the moment I said the pace of play was slow and that if he can send anyone out. Customer service skill number one: Do not argue with a customer who is finally calling the pro-shop, because if the customer is actually calling, chances are he is really frustrated. Your first words should have been... “we apologize for the slow pace today. It is a Saturday so please be patient. We will send someone out to make sure groups are moving along.” Needless to say, I will not be playing here anymore and I will make sure my “Korean” friends know about it as well.

I consider this course to be a hidden gem, despite all of the criticism. There are several great driving holes, and the medium to narrow tree-lined fairways give this course an old-school feel. Also, the elevation changes make for many interesting shots. If thats not enough, each hole looks and plays differently from the rest. I dont understand how people think this is a waste of money when it has been consistently rated as one of the best values in Southern California (Ive never paid over $45 for a morning tee time). However, expect crowds for two reasons: (1) the course is centrally located, and (2) people like to play this course FOR A REASON.

Its been a while but my golf buddy is now in good shape again and were ready to return. Great memories, where else can you play links golf in L.A. county, close to San Bernardino county. The course is challenging and scenic, with shade and cool breezes that keep it 10 or more degrees below the surrounding suburbs in Summer. Well groomed and if you play the fairways and take sensible risks, rewarding. compared to other courses within 50 miles, less waiting for players up ahead. Looking forward to our next round in April/May.

TERRIBLE! This course has great potential, but the staff is Very Rude. I cant think of a worse experience... especially watch out for clubhouse assistant "Lucas" and security/host "Jim"--they are like evil versions of Bevis and Butthead. Also, DO NOT consider hosting an event here! I could not believe the way I observed the staff treating wedding guests. This place needs a staff overhaul Pomona! Please save this course!

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! The staff were so unprofessional and took bookings for tee time without planning for carts. Had to wait over an hour to get the cart only to get one not charged enough. They allowed teams of 5 with novices and moving at a snail pace. at 14th Cart gave up and had to abandon the game after 4.30 hours of torture. NEVER gonna visit back.

I can totally understand why there is so- so many people play here and makes a round of golf game about 5 hours or more.... The course is too nice. The environment is beautiful, course lay out is great. This is a 80 dollars quality course but you only pay around 20 for twilight. Thats why so many people play here + the staffs is all A plus quality too.

The wedding coordinator Tiffany is the rudest and most uncaring wedding coordinator ever. I would never recommend this place to any bride. She is totally unprofessional and could care less about quality for her brides. Once she gets you to book, its game over. You are on your own. She treated my sister very badly and made a wonderful day horrible.

Love the Players Club deal! $40 a month for 2 large buckets a day, no cart fees ever, and discounts on merchandise! They keep the range balls in pretty good condition. Plus, theyve made improvements to the course in the last year or so. This is one of the best public courses around.

"Played " Here 3 times and have yet to finish this course. Played with a 2-3 some each time all decent golfers and the tee times are just way over booked. Starting at 12 noon there should be no reason to not finish. Wouldnt suggest playing here if you want a decent pace.
