So-so course
I played after rainfalls. The drainage was the not good and course layout was so and so even with Annie's contribution to the course. As the course is close to highways, you gotta be numb to noise coming from speedy traffic on highways. If you want walking, it's good.
Now Considered Infamous
I should have watched the now infamous “Bob Does Sports” YouTube video before I went to play this course. I’ve played many courses in many states in the U.S. I’m not a good golfer per se (90’s), but this course is the most absurd.
It cannot be overstated that the fairways are tortuous due to massive bald and baron areas on almost every hole. Ironically, the tee boxes and greens are in pretty good (4 out of 5) shape.
The out of bounds and cart paths are mediocre but mostly paved if I remember correctly.
If there was some way to get grass filled in the fairways, this would be a decent course, minus the methane gas smell on some of the holes.
Overall, I’d say if you are in LA area, you might want to take advantage of playing this course. You’d have a story to tell other golfers your experience.
What a waste
The his is a dog track. Not a blade of grass in the fairways. The greens are fluffy and slow as molasses. The golf carts are broken down and in poor repair with essentially no suspension. I feel like I need a chiropractor after bouncing around for 9 holes. Yes I said 9 holes, it was so bad I chose not to stay and play the back 9 that I’d already paid for.
I feel like a refund and an apology are in order. If it wasn’t for the operations manager being friendly I would give this place 0 stars.
Improving
I can see the improvements; the practice facilities are getting better, they have good carts, they are trying to get an alcohol license at the restaurant, they are growing more and more grass (!!!). They still have a loooong way to go, it will be years until it is a decent course. The biggest problem right now is the staff, the two older gentleman who work the desk are not good by any standard. They do not know what they are doing, they are clearly there as a last resort for staffing and similarly for a lot of the staff they just seem to be unhappy working there. It’s one thing to be rude, it’s another thing to be bad at your job, and if you don’t want to be there or get frustrated at your job, maybe it’s time to look somewhere else. The new management has a vision, they need to get rid of the old staff who are not helping the vision.
Such a shame...
I played this course in the 1980's and 90's (not today which is why I paid $20 to walk back then!) and while the California weather and city budgets makes it difficult for municipal golf courses to present lavish conditions, this course was nice... back then. After having seen the "Bob Does Sports" YouTube video and the mockery made of this formerly once very nive golf course, it made me sad. I loved Billy Bell and William Sr. designed golf courses (they're all over Southern Cal). They always made challenging but playable public golf courses. It's too bad to see their great work ruined by neglect. Oh well... at least I have my memories. If the City of Carson still owns it, I'd love to see someone buy it and renovate it but at this stage in the neglect process, it would mean tearing out the entire drainage and irrigation system and laying in a new one. We're talking millions of dollars of repairs. Such a waste of a piece of California golf history.
Chill people it's not that bad
I think some people need to chill. The golf course has really come a long way since that Bob Does Sports episode. Half the fairways are pretty bad but the greens and tee boxes are decent. Give it some time before it all comes together. They're obviously putting money into it. This course works well for a good practice round. I like that you can book or walk in and play right away. I like that u don't have to have pay a monthly membership to book a tee time.
They've completely given up
Lost my ball after hitting it straight down the middle of the first 'fairway' because it's anything but. Patches of overgrown weeds and grass next to bare dirt. Standing water in low areas of the intended fairway. Standing water in several cartpath areas.
Greens rolled okay.
Not planning on playing here again.
Course on bad shape
Very little grass on most fairways. In the fairways that did have grass, it was very long...more like the rough instead of a fairway. Three holes were very flooded, some groups were skipping these holes!
Surprising round
I played this course for the first time one day after a three-day storm. Needless to say there were many flooded areas, deep grass patches due to inability to mow, and the need to use a push cart. Yet, the tee pads and the greens were in especially good condition. Once you get to the green, it became a quite enjoyable round.
Needs desperate help
If your into muddy fairways and unplanned water hazards this is the course for you. It’s an absolute disrepair. Situated on an old dump it makes it impossible for grass to grow. Do not go if it recently rained. There were lakes on the course not by design. If they figured out how to get grass growing it could be a fun municipal.
Poor condition
The front 9 feels like playing in a pasture field, no grass only dirt. The back nine is a little better than the front, better condition! However, one i can say, greens are one the best conditions of any golf courses in the area!
The worst course I've ever played
If you just want to kit some balls and you don't care about grass, then this is the course for you. I'm not exaggerating when I say that 60-70% of the fairways were simply dirt and mud. The course was full of players who have now concept of golf etiquette (driving their carts up to the actual green, four players each with their own carts, players hitting 3-4 balls on each hole). I had to play through on two separate holes because of extremely slow play (and I should add that the course was practically empty, it was just slooooow play).
