The Lakes

A good course for the money. Nice driving range. They do allow 5-somes on the course which slows down play.

Decent 9-hole course.

Heard they were turning it into a Top Golf.

Good short game practice

If you need the work on your 70-90 yd shots, this is a good practice course. Greens are in pretty good condition.

GC and amenities beware

I’ve been going to the Lakes before and after the remodel. The new layout is fun and looked great when it first opened. Starting to see some wear and tear now. The plastic mats are thrashed and need replacing and the tee boxes are constantly under repair. Other than that, I’d recommend the course. However if you want food, go elsewhere. I waited an hour for a sandwich and this was midweek at 11:30 am. I was comp’d the sandwich after an hour but the service is terrible. Their employees need serious training in customer service.

Perfect for short game work.

John Daley says golf is all about 150 and in. This is the place to work that. For $30ish, you get 10 holes on grass, a good chip/putt practice area, a bucket of balls to hit next door at Top Golf, and a free cup of coffee. Staff I friendly and accommodating.

Hidden Gem

this course has actually been here a long time but with all the upgrades and improvements it's a really great place.
Nice staff, great condition, good pace.
I highly Recommend this place.
It's right next door to the new top golf so that's only a bonus.

Small but mighty

Pros:
Awesome course conditions even after heavy rain
Friendly staff
Fun play

Cons:
Too slow (but tends to be the norm in LA)
Greens are ball marked

I was impressed by this tiny yet fun course. The grass was some of the best Ive seen in public courses. The greens often had ball marks and that may be on some of the clientele not addressing their marks. Overall I would love to play here again.

First time since becoming a Top Golf Course

I was really surprised by the upgrades that have been made to this course. The pro shop and bar are modern, neat and clean. The course is now only par 3s with the longest hole being about 150 yards. What was lost in yardage was gained in the grounds care. I didn’t see a patch of yellow grass anywhere. A rarity for this type of course. Worth the few extra dollars.
