Amazing value

Great course with a very fun layout! The staff is friendly and the greens run well, what more do you want?

Also... A four hour round on a weekend.

Can't lose.

Still the best public in LA

Love the course and the layout, the service is always great and we caught it at the right time and finished 18 within 4 hours on a Friday afternoon! Great times... Course is in good shape, a few greens being worked on, didn't drain very well but still played great after the rain.

Best Track in Long Beach

El.Dorado is definitely the better of the public courses in LBC. The greens were in good conditions, some had some dead and bare spots but well kept otherwise.
Tee boxes were in good condition, bunkers were looking great and the fairways were typically patchy So Cal.Muni.

Great course, horrible pace this time around.

Great course and great staff, just the groups of 5 were horrible. Took 4 hours to get to 13 where we eventually quit. Greens are in good shape, fairways are thin and browning, otherwise a good track.

Good muni

This place is a local muni that serves a golf starved locale. Great players club option to join and pay monthly for range balls. Lots of regulars get out early here and the pace can be hit or miss, but of all the local muni courses they typically have some of the better greens and the layout is fun and has a few challenging holes.
The rough isn't really penalizing, the sand is decent and the fairways are pretty good so nothing to complain about there. The community here is pretty laid back and fun loving at the course too so its an enjoyable round. Nothing worth driving for, but great local place.

Best spot in the vicinity. Period.

I almost don't want to write this because I truly enjoy playing this place and the conditions are almost always immaculate so I hesitate to invite others.
It would be a disservice to the efforts of the people here and so here you go.The tee boxes are all well kept, the fairways have almost NO bare spots that I could see, the rough isn't exactly penalizing unless its on the back 9 where it gets a bit longer. Very fun layout with some risk reward shots off the tee and the par 3's are challenging where the par 5's present some good scoring opportunities if you hit it straight. Overall a great experience and my new go to spot. Thanks guys.

Great track played at the right time

Los Verdes is an amazing course that I grew up playing. Most have very varying views on this course and it can really be what you want it to be to you. If you are in a rush, play the back 9 and have a fun 90 minutes with great views and good golf.
The course is pretty challenging because you need to know the landing areas and also the elevation changes, and not to mention the ocean break on most the greens.
Overall, for a municipal course, the conditions are very good, especially for the amount of play it gets. The staff is super friendly and nice, the range is well kept and the greens are immaculate ....oh and when they aerate they do half the greens at a time too!
Overall a great experience if you get out early enough to avoid the 6 hour round (which is becoming less and less often here!) and you bring your a game! Good times!

Amazing new course with great staff

This course is brand new and you can tell! It has some of the stuff left to finish off the small details but other than that...wow. Impeccable conditions on the tees all the way to the greens. The Par 5's are very challenging and the Par 3's are beautiful with nice green complexes. The rough is penalizing here in so much as it makes it hard to find your ball if you don't keep a good eye on it, however once you do find it, its rather easy to get out of...for now anyway, like I said the course is new.
The staff was very friendly and due to some turn of events I had the pleasure of meeting Alex the Head Pro and my interaction with him sealed my desire to return to the place. I definitely recommend you make the time to try this course out, and watch out for the long Par 4 13th...that one got me! Very fun and challenging course!

Run it out!

This course is the best place to go to feel good about your game outside of a cow pasture named Alondra by my house. You can hit 400 yard drives down fairways and stick wedge shots in on par 4's all day.
The conditions are rather good for the amount of play it gets and the course is as expected...plays 4.5 to 6 hours a round on the weekends. We lucked out with rain in the forecast, no-one showed up...I was shocked when I pulled up to see the practice area empty! I couldn't' believe it, I thought the course was closed! I went to the far end practice area and ended up meeting the very nice superintendent who informed me that the practice area was in fact open and it was just very oddly empty! Better for me.
Anyway, the tee boxes are in good shape, the greens are looking good, a few of them have new aprons put on so they are playing as GUR but it doesn't hurt you too bad....it just will stop your ball from releasing onto the greens so avoid it right now!
Overall great experience for a weekend and surprisingly fast on this day, we actually finished in just under 5 hours! Great times on a decent course!

Fun Run

This course is reminds me a lot of the courses I encounter in Florida. Very flat, good bunker complexes around the large well maintained greens and conveniently placed water and environmental hazards.
I got out early morning on a weekday and beat the staff to the course as I was staying at the dated resort attached to the course.
Starter was very friendly and informed me of the pace of play and what to expect with the layout. I walked up and they sent me out 2nd off the tee behind a member. The layout is rather flat but very nice views of the houses and ranches around along with hills and nature. Course conditions were immaculate to be honest, they had a great practice area with two large practice greens and two large chipping areas. I can see myself staying here and just practicing my short game for fun...except the rooms are extremely dated in the hotel.
The pace is expected at 2 hrs a 9 and when I finished the East in 1:40 the starter informed me that I would have to wait 20 minutes before I could tee off on the South because it wasn't open yet.
I ran into my room and kissed my family hello, grabbed a granola bar and ran out....after reminding myself I wasn't in 1975, I was back on the tee and loved the South way better than the East. The South layout was MUCH longer and more difficult than East which was short with wide fairways. The wind definitely plays much more into your round on the South too. Overall it was a beautiful course well maintained, not the most challenging or elevation changes as you would expect in SoCal, but overall a great experience and would make for a fun time if you did an outing with friends here.

Last resort......

As one other reviewer mentioned, I live across from this course and will only play it as a last resort.
The only thing challenging about this course besides the crowned small greens, is the amount of patience you will need.
They do jam people out, the course is in mediocre condition at best at all times and the greens are different every month.
