Designed by Gary Bye, David Rainville. This is a fairly level, open course. Yucaipa Valley has four lakes that come into play around many of the greens. There are plenty of traps, and the greens vary in shape and size. Immature trees should pose little problem for the inaccurate golfer. From San Bernardino (about 20 miles east to the course): Take I-10 east, exit onto Oak Glen Road, and turn left. Cross Yucaipa Boulevard, and the driving range comes into view. Make two lefts to the parking lot.
