Casta del Sol Golf Course, Mission Viejo, CA

Perfect for the newer golfer

The course is in horrible shape.

I have been playing here for years and right now the condition is pretty good. The greens are smooth and true and the traps are full of good sand. The course is tough if you play by the rules long par3s and short par4s with OB to keep you honest. This course is fun to play at a good price and getting a tee time is easy,we played 36 holes in 6 hours with a cart for 66 bucks and my buddies want to go back next week, thats the best review I can think of.

Green conditions good for late Aug. Course has poor drainage. Course is good for all levels of play. Good players will have opportunity to use almost all clubs in bag. Par 3's are of sufficient length to be challenge, and if you use driver on Par 4's you will be challenged to stay in fairways.

This course is a "value" course - and you get what you pay for. There is a major drainage problem, the fairways are 24% dirt and crab grass. The greens are fast but if you're looking for some value for 18 holes and a chance at improving your short game, this is it.
