A less than 4 hour round on a weekend for 40 bucks. How many courses can say that? The greens are in good shape, the layout is different, which makes it fun. The staff is friendly, and helpful, I even got my Hoodie back after leaving it in the cart. Give it a try, unless your expecting Pebble Beach. read more

Billy Blaze I was curious about the history of Cresta Verde and I came across some bad reviews. I couldn't believe it ! People complaining about how bad Cresta Verde Golf Course is. 1st, it only costs $24 bucks to golf their with a cart. 2nd, the grass may not be the best but again it only costs $24 bucks for 18 holes of fun challenging golf. 3rd, if you walk the course (I doubt some lazy ass complainer would do this) it only costs $16 bucks for 18 holes of fun challenging golf. Again i can't believe idiots would complain about such a great deal. Get off your lazy fat asses, stop complaining, get some exercise, and get a great deal on a great little golf course. Did i mention how great a deal Cresta Verde golf course is? read more

The price to play is acceptable for the course except the rough is so thick, and so many different types of grass and weeds that any shot hit into the rough is a 10 minute search for your ball. They need to keep the rough mowed lower and that would keep the pace of play to the approximate 4 hour rounds that you see in the reviews. Otherwise the greens and fairways are in good condition. Just don't miss the fairways. read more

This is probably the best golf course the Inland empire for the cost of an 18 hole round. The course itself is in good condition and the staff is very friendly. I would recommend this course to any golfer, beginners or more advanced players. Not to mention the hotdogs are amazing! I don't see why anyone would have a bad review about this course. read more

Vast improvement over the last 2-3 years in the condition of the course. More improvements are needed but they seem to be committed in making that happen. Very reasonable green fees. Staff has a real and genuine good attitude and are very accommodating. It is not a Goose Creek or Oak Quarry but it also does not come with a $50-60 green fee during the week It is great value for the dollar and I hope with the current ownership they continue to make progress. read more

The course has challenging holes which makes it interesting, the course shape is like most municipal courses with patches of dirt and weeds on the fairway, you probably want to play "winter rules". Driving range hits of mats and has decent targets but is ragged. The "new management" may need a course in customer service. We bought tee times thru Click4teetimes.com which we got a decent deal, came early and hit some warm up balls and some putting practice. We were still early for our tee time but we went up to get on the course since the tee boxes were empty and the starter/pro shop wouldn't let us get on. What? We use online discount tee times all the time and we've never been denied to get on earlier if the course was not busy. In a time when the golf industry is struggling it's management like this that gives the golf a bad rap. We weren't trying to get on at a prime time (monday @ noon) and there were NOBODY on the tees, why would you not let us play and instead make us wait an hour? That's just poor customer service. I guess we'll have to cross this course off our list, I can see why the poor reviews. read more

Cresta Verde is an interesting course. It has the layout of a nice course with challenging short holes. Like all the other low priced green fee courses, Cresta Verde was kind of an eye sore due to the dead plant life all around. The course is crossed between a canyon looking, swamp like course. What I was surprised about was the condition of the greens and surrounding fringe as it was very nice. I went around 2pm to tee off and the weather was about low 80s under the Norco sun and the greens were dried and rolled very slow. If they had pressed it in the morning I'm sure it would have rolled more true. I understand a lot of people who rate this course are talking about it visually, but from a players stand point it can be quite challenging with certain tee shots that need to be shaped and with super high elevation to low elevation tee boxes it changes things up so you don't get bored. Just about all the par 5's are reachable in 2 but have a risk reward type feature. I ended with a 82 behind the blue tees that day and was really fooled by the greens as some pin locations were very hard, plus not knowing the layout of the course. All in all for 20.00 booked thru golf now it came with a cart, small bucket of balls and 4.5 hours of fun golf. I know the course management will not be able to put some serious money in the course, however I think if they fixed up their tee boxes a little more, took care of the sand boxes and dress up the range a little, it can be a 30.00 - 35.00 course easily. This is just my honest opinion read more

Worst golf course ever played! "Owner" comes out at the start of the 9th and accuses us of flipping a golf cart because one of her "neighbor friends" saw it.. Never happened. Instead of talking to us like adults we get talked down to. drove 45 min to play here to be treated like crap! Next time talk to your customers like humans! Then at the turn she meets us out front and says "hey it took 3 hours for you guys (4 some with beginners) to play the front 9, do you mind letting other go in front?" Which we wouldn't have minded at all... Except there was never anybody waiting on us! Not once! She was a total B!!! Would give zero stars if I could!! Don't waste your money if you're not a pro!! Way to accommodate the beginners lady! read more

I'm giving Cresta Verde 5 stars purely on the value of the course. It seems like all of the bad reviews on here are by golfers looking for value and expecting a championship golf course. Come on now, that's not very realistic. If you're paying $40 bucks for weekend round of golf that includes a bucket of range balls that's pretty awesome. Now granted, there are definitely some area's of opportunity that this course is currently working on. The new owner has been working really hard on getting this course back into shape. If you want to play a nicely manicured course you can go play Goose Creek for $100 bucks on a weekend. If you reading this review it's because you're thinking about checking this course out because you've seen rates that are appealing to your wallet. Give it a shot, it's not as bad as people say. I actually enjoy this course. It is a short course and pretty straight forward so you can actually score well here too. Cheap golf, good scores, what more could you ask for? read more

I'm sorry to have to do this as my very first yelp review. But I golf every Sunday on my one day off to get away and do something I love and enjoy. When I pulled up the the course 17 mikes away from my house. My first reaction was wow this is going to be nice. But before I ever went inside I had some beers I wanted to out in my golf bag OK so I know your not supposed to my fault but with in seconds the lady mehee of that's how u spell her name. Comes over to me grabs my bag of beer out of my hand them walks away with it saying its going to be behind the counter. Treating me like one of her kids she had just made the day stressful before it started. I kept my cool and was still very nice and joked around with her we laughed but that was just so I didn't get kicked out like she did to my family two weeks before that. Cause someone said they thought they flipped the golf cart when it clearly was never flipped. So the day goes on she said she would discount the beer I buy from them and never did and also said she would give me a free one and never did. I also tipped the bar tender who was a part of this whole thing. Tipped her three different times but Gave me mean looks and attitude the whole day. Don't ever go to this course. You will not have fun and they are watching u like kids the while day . We finished the course then talked with them for a little and left. I will never EVER GO BACK! read more

I play this course every Saturday with friends. They have a nice men's club that plays once per month with great members. Course has very good pricing however if you become a member even gets better. The staff has always been friendly & the course is improving. read more

Want to thank me hee .she is in charge of the course .I left my wallet in the cart after a tournament. Called in a few hours after I realized I had forgotten it,it was not turned in .Got a call 20 min later from her she had found it, they took the time to locate it, a lot of places don't take customer service seriously thank you PS courses in pretty good shape read more

You gotta" be kidding -- in all my years of golfing I have NEVER had a more horrific experience. No problem loosing your ball....just look for the cloud of dust where your ball lands. There is more dirt than grass on this course! The staff was rude and tried to tell me that the reason we couldn't bring bottled water on the course (and two beers) is that they try to control the alcohol on the course to restrict the damage to the carts.....duh....the cart paths are so thrashed (pot holes, etc.) that is the reason the carts are in such bad shape. The sand traps were a complete joke....Save your money, go somewhere else. read more

On 12 June 2017 I took a visiting guest to play golf at Cresta Verde Golf Course. The tee time was easy to get, and the price was excellent. When we hit the course, it was obvious why these were the case--the course is in the worst condition of any course I have played in 60 years. The tee boxes were largely grassless and rock hard. The fairways were much the same. My new clubs will never be the same again. The only thing implying that the course was not actually abandoned to the waterless elements were the greens and immediately surrounding areas. These were actually quite decent. Overall, this course is an embarrassment to the golf community in Southern California and not worth even the modest price. read more

Cresta Verde Golf Course...............that's what it is called. The only thing resembling a golf course was 18 tees and 18 greens. Have been playing for over 50 years and have never played a course this shitty. You get what you paid for and it only cost us $24 which was $25 too much. read more

Cresta Verde is probably my favorite Golf Course to play. The fairways are wide enough to be fair to the high handicapper yet sloped and long enough to challenge the low handicapper. The elevated tees make the three pars fun and the elevated greens on several of the holes make this a great golf course for any level of golfer. The staff is extremely efficient and friendly. MeHee, Gina and Mike make you feel as though you're part of the family on your fist trip. If you've never played Cresta Verde or if you haven't played there in a while you need to get to Corona and play this gem that is a great value. read more

I've been playing the back 9, the last 3 Sundays. The first time, the sprinklers were running on 15, 16, 17 and 18. They were nice enough to refund my greens fees and later called me to apologize, which was nice. This morning, the flag was missing from the 15th green. Also, the tee area on the 17th hole needs to be grated.....way too rutted. Just wish they would pay closer attention to the little things that would make their course better. I do love the lay out of the course. read more

This is the first course I played when I came back to California. I have been here three years now and I can say this course has come a long way and is getting better by the day. The greens are exceptional. read more

Been coming here for decades, it keeps getting better and better. Great staff and a challenging track. Greens are great when kept up nice. Fairways and rough make you rewarded to keep it in play. Not for beginners. read more

Okay...........I read the reviews on the course and while driving there today to play with friends, I was already coming to the conclusion that I wouldn't like the course. I must say that I was really quite surprised and okay with it. Yes, it is an old course and you can tell that during play. The price is definitely a value for 18 holes and contrary to other reviews, the staff in the pro shop was pleasant and friendly. The course has elevated T-boxes and some elevated greens and narrow fairways which I found challenging and fun. If you hit off the fairway, the grass is thick or you may be in weeds, but that's golf. I would definitely play there again even though it is a 40 min one way drive for me. I'm not sure what the condition of the course was a year or more ago as this was my first time there, but I'm getting the impression that the ownership is trying to make it better. I found the greens to be very nice......nicer actually than some higher dollar courses I've played on. read more

This place is nothing but a dog track. Would it kill to turn on a sprinkler once in a while? Tee boxes are full of holes and mounds and not maintained at all. No grass in any of the fairways, greens are dead and patchy at best. The staff is horrible and have no idea how to run or keep up a course. I wouldn't pay $10 to play this course on a weekend. This is for sure my last visit here. Every lake was dried out, not one single sand bunker on the course. They have given up on trying to replace sand traps and just let them over grow with weeds. It's basically a run down park with 18 greens in it. 18 horribly conditioned greens. read more

I have played Cresta Verde off and on for many years. Each time I play, I find the course improvements very rewarding. This course is very challenging and fun. New management has done a super job of of giving you good value for the price. Keep up the good work CVGC. read more

honestly, i wouldn't give this crappy golf course any stars. i went here because i live really close to the course and i see golf balls around my house all the time. checked it out and nothing great. the grass is dead and its ugly. couple of months ago, i went outside to my car and noticed that a golf ball broke the back windshield of my car. i called to complain to management, and MICHAEL KIM, told me that he couldnt do anything about it unless i catch the person in the act. how the hell am i supposed to catch someone in the act if i at my house just in awe of what happened to my car. its not like i can magically go over to the golf course and be like "got ya! you broke my car window" don't bother wasting your time checking this place out. its crappy and MANAGEMENT SUCKS! read more

I guess you cannot expect much from this course considering how old the course is. If you can't get another tee time from any of the other courses in Corona, then give this course a try. We played at around 12:30pm and if it wasn't for the tournament going on, would've been completely wide open. The layout is quite challenging with lot's of tight fairways and elevated greens/tee boxes which makes club selection vital to shooting a decent score. The guy in the pro shop was very helpful and let us out a little earlier than our regular tee time but the marshall (some old fart with a grey goatee) really annoyed the heck out of us threatening to kick us out for having a cooler with water when the weather was 95 degrees out. All in all if you don't want to pay more than 25 bucks and can get a deal on click4tee time, I'd say it's worth a try. If you have to pay more, please check out dos lagos, eagle glen or even glen ivy which are by far better courses. read more
