Course is in over all great shape. A couple of fairways are still growing... and rope off. Green are pretty good. Some still bumpy. Waaay better than arroyo del oso

Pace of play needs to be enforced. Groups stacked up does not make the round enjoyable at all.

We’ve always considered Ladera our home course and were excited to plan a family golf outing there today. We made a tee time after church and arrived looking forward to spending our Sunday together. Unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed with how things unfolded. Upon arrival, we waited over 20 minutes in the pro shop line. When we finally reached the front, we were abruptly told that no carts would be issued due to high volume. This was never communicated in advance. We kindly explained that one of our group members has knee issues and walking the course wasn’t an option. The response we received was dismissive: “It’s the busy season—things like this happen.” There was no attempt to accommodate us or offer alternatives. This completely derailed our Sunday plans and left a sour impression. We had a group of over 10 people ready to support the course and enjoy a great day of golf. Instead, we were left frustrated and excluded. We truly hope Ladera reconsiders how they handle peak times and communicates better with loyal guests. As it stands, we’ll think twice about returning or recommending the course in the future.

I came in for a drink, was charged a $5 cover fee because there was live music on the patio, which was fine. I had my 6lb dog with me, I have brought her here 2 times prior to this with no issues. The minute I walk up to the bar I’m approached by an aggressive employee scolding me for being at the bar with my dog. Your other two employee had no problem charging me a cover charge and letting me in my dog. I ended up leaving. If you do not allow dog on the property that is fine, but you owe your customers the consistency of enforcing those policies. Instead of being rude to unexpecting paying customer.

Beautiful course. Well maintained, friendly staff.
