Calimesa Country Club

First, let me say that the staff in general are warm friendly and accommodating. The restaurant has wonderful food which is both tasty and filling. So restaurant– A OK!
Let’s move on to the pro-​shop staff– Uh-huh…I’m not going to name her, but the lady at the counter was as warm and inviting as porcupine with a prolapsed rectum. In my encounter, I found her absent of any personality and for someone who will be engaging with the general public as the face of the golf course, she would not be my first choice. Unconfirmed, but there were others there who said they know of golfers who will not visit this course solely because of her. I get it. But, in a small way I will defend her in that she was trying to do too much with too little. She was answering the phone while trying to deal with the folks standing at the counter. And actually causing more work for herself by running around finding the groups to go off on the tee at their tee time. This could be alleviated with a STARTER! So, perhaps a bit of help for her might put a smile on her face, I’m hopeful. So enough of her, I think my point is made.
As far as the course itself– The layout is good and challenging but there are a few things that certainly need attention:
The tee boxes– It is clear that the groundskeeper is trying to get the grass to recover in areas of the tee box and for that reason has moved the playing tee box forward or backward away from the recovering grass. But come on, at least mow down where you put the temporary tee boxes! I’m sure that will resolve itself as time moves on. By the way, it would really be nice to have a bucket of water on the first and 10^th tee. I hunted for a bucket and finally resolved to use the bathroom sink to wet my towels.
The fairways– Okay, well let’s just say that word everyone is familiar with here in California… drought. Very few premium lies in the fairway without clunking into the rock hard mother earth under the small wisps of grass that is trying to grow. I understand the conservation efforts, but I would be willing to pay a bit more if the course would water it a bit more.
And I save the best for last– The greens.
Clumpy, mushy, way too soft, thick, fuzzy, and riddled with bumps and deviations. The greens are getting the water or sure. In some places too much! They are in such need of a good solid mowing. Sort of like the haircuts my dad, a former U.S. Navy man, insisted I sport as a kid. Nub those suckers down! In addition, the greens are in need a good heavy rolling. While putting for a 4 foot birdie opportunity, my ball bounce all over the place and it took a quality whacking to get it going and push it through all the fuzziness. It reminded me of the problems the pros were having at Chambers Bay during the U.S. Open a few years back; it was like putting on cauliflower.
So, having expressed my frustrations, it is my understanding that the course is under new management/​ownership and with that comes a series of quality changes to really enhance the experience for the golfer and/​or diner. I will play here again and hopefully a bit of TLC goes into this course in the not so distant future.

2÷17÷16 — Breakfast at 9 a.m. Gloria, the server, remembers us, though 4 of us breakfast there, say, about once a month. Their breakfast selections are outstanding. Gloria carefully records what each of us specifically orders — such as «crispy, crispy,» hash browns, and blackberry jelly, and eggs basted a certain style. My selection is the Ham Steak breakfast with 2 eggs, hash browns, and toast selection. And it’s REAL ham steak, sometimes with the bone in the slice. Others might order what’s named Hole In One, which is 2 eggs, pancakes, selection of potatoes, and bacon or sausage. Each of these selections are less than $ 10. The food is so tasty, the chef must be commended. Coffee is served in a carafe left on the table for you. A pitcher of water is on the table. The pricing is unbelievably low for such a high quality. I wish we lived closer; I’d go there at least once a week. Yes, it might be somewhat out-​of-​the-​way, but it’s well worth finding. As you dine, you can watch the golfers on Hole #10, a par three. And you can see others teeing off at other holes in the distance. The view is gorgeous.
I’ve played golf here a number of times, too. Yes, there are better course conditions available (for more than twice the money), but you’re in the country. A gorgeous setting with some challenging doglegs, elevated greens, elevated tees, and just plain beauty. And — I’ve paid more $ at other courses that were not as beautiful or challenging.
Love it!

Their American breakfast is great
Two eggs with a choice of meats and a choice of potatoes
Toast and jelly of course
I like the fact that they leave the craft of coffee on your table.
Service was fast and very friendly
Will be back !!

Good course for the money. Interesting layout. The cashier in the pro shop was not very friendly. She seemed to be annoyed at any questions customers asked. The dining room was closed at 2:30

Great food at great prices. The drinks are good and the bartenders are awesome! Not open for dinner, but open for breakfast and lunch. The bar stays open.

I went in on a Wednesday for the first time for breakfast and the food was excellent good prices and the waitress was Gloria outstanding i will return again very satisfied

We love this place! My husband and I golf here all the time, we got engaged here in 2013 and they were very helpful to my husband for the entire event. They notified golfers before us of what was about to take place and to not disturb anything that was set up. All golfers of course complied and the day was amazing. The staff is friendly and the prices are good. The food is delicious and very inexpensive! We love this place!

Fun course, Greens could use a little work. staff was ok. My first time here. was a good course overall. I’ve play better and I’ve played worse courses…

This place is fun! I love the layout of the banquet hall. We have our work Xmas party here every year. the staff are nice and quick with everything ! Bartender makes great drinks and at at great price !
Very friendly and good customer service

I am a dinning patron only, no golf, this little place is a real find for breakfast and lunch, extremely affordable and service is usually great, the cook is constant and puts out some of the best french toast and home fries I’ve ever had, the hole in one is a big time favorite of mine, she’s hidden in the backwoods of calamesa but the foods worth the drive, nice atmosphere, relaxed and casual, two of the three waitress rock the others ok,

Went for Sunday breakfast, first waitress was not friendly at all! Then we stayed into the ‘brunch’ hours and got a gal named «Lisa» WHO WAS AWESOME! We would go back again based on the 2^nd waitress, but usually dealing with staff on the phone and in non-​bar areas most are rude… not sure if they think we are wasting their time or if they are all just paid enough to not need the customers. But again, we will try again due to service we got from Lisa.

Staff was rude, started picking up flags with a hour and a half left with sunlight, coarse was in good shape but the staff was trying to give us the bums rush, if thy want to go home early they should work at a bank
