Played it back in the early 1980’s when Kent State All-American Mike Morrow was the Pro there. Enjoyed the course!

While this is normally one of our favorite courses, we had a bad experience with a rude staff member at California. We arrived early for our 8:21am tee time, and tee'd off a little late due to having to wait for a few groups in front of us. We saw during the first few holes there were no groups behind us so we took our time. At the turn one of the Marshals raised his voice at us and rudely told us we need to pick up the pace, we were an hour behind schedule, and they need our cart back for a scramble. And he kept telling us over and over how slow and behind we are and how its going to impact their scramble, in a rude manner. We were not told at all about this deadline and the way he approached us was extremely rude and unprofessional. We went to do the rest of the 9 holes, and were waiting at every hole except the first hole, for two groups in front of us. These groups were not yelled at like we were. And how could we be behind when we have to wait for the groups in front of us?
This was a terrible experience. If you have a scramble scheduled then you should make players who have tee times aware, and this should be applied to all groups. Not the only group who had two women playing. Ridiculous all around. Will not be back.

One of the best courses around at a reasonable price. Staff always friendly and helpful with great tee boxes and beautiful greens. You also get the greatest view with the reservoirs around the course.
