OK

Slower than should have been on a hot weekday afternoon 5 1/2 hours. Otherwise OK course. Airport noise is annoying but tolerable (mostly helicopters).
Long Beach is not beach cool on a hot day.

OK shape considering water situation

Under 4 hour round on weekday. Course conditions variable but mostly OK. Many very short par 4s. Overall very nice day. Close to ocean so weather is cooler than inland courses. Short course ...so many beginners but didn't make round slow. Very inexpensive on Golfnow deal. Bunkers are very hard sand.

Nice Course

Very interesting course. First few holes after number one seemed the most difficult to me. Very frustrating at times for a high handicapper like me. Bring extra balls for sure.
Most friendly and helpful staff I've encountered at a golf course anywhere. Glad I did it once but for the money, even the discounted rate on Golf Now, I wouldn't do it more than once a year at most. From LA it's a tough 2 hour drive with weekday traffic . Course played fast on a Monday. We had twosomes in front of us and behind. Don't expect the lush fairways you get in Palm Springs.
If you're looking for a course just as interesting but a bit longer and some might say tougher especially on a normal windy day... try
La Purisima between Buellton and Lompoc. The two courses seem similar in many ways to me.

La Purisima

I've played La Purisima for over 20 years. I don't go there more than once or twice a year anymore. It's a hard course but plays fast (usually) and has nice scenery. Watch out if it's a windy day. The northwesterlies can be fierce in the afternoon especially in the spring and early summer. Try to find a discount time online.

Worth it for a discount

This course is in a great ocean setting but for an average golfer (bogey) I found it frustrating. There are lots of traps and fast greens that invite the ball to roll off, so bring lots of patience. With lots of discounts online it may be worth it for the view. There was no waiting on a weekday playing as a twosome.

Challenging for a 3par

Nice ocean views. Pull carts only. Park in the public lot and walk. Many lateral greens with sand traps in front makes it challenging or frustrating depending on your point of view. But you won't hit any trees on the fairways. I got a discount of about 50% and would not be willing to play there at full price.
