Nice but slow
Conditions were pretty good from tee to green. Pace of play was dismal but I guess that’s to be expected when you tee off after noon.
Excellent pro shop and diner customer service
Had a 11am Hot Deal Tee time and the pro shop let me out @ 9:30 because it wasn’t even busy. Thank you Big Rec.
Experience was good other than the golf cart breaking down
The golf cart’s battery on the ninth hole ran out so we had to push it back to the clubhouse. Eventually we got help from a another golfer who help us push the cart back to the clubhouse.
Great course, but narrow and long from the blues.
From the blues, you best have a very straight tee shot. The course is great, but if you play big fades or draws, you’ll lose a lot less balls playing Ike (sister course).
Nice course, slowest play in LA.
2:45 hours, 7 holes. Either they are starting too many people close together, or no one understands pace of play. There are no course marshals. I like the course and I live in Long Beach, but won't play there again. Note to beginner golfers- please come out and play, but if you have hit the ball 6 times on a par 4, pick up. You're killing the round for everyone behind you. Rev park- pay someone $15 an hour to drive the course and push people along. This isn't hard.
WORK IN PROGRESS
greens were punched a few weeks ago...good in some greens, not so much in others.
Did not hold solid shots into greens...more water necessary???
Green fee too high, NO DISCLOSURE FROM course or TEEOFF
I thought I had found the perfect tee time for a Wed morning. I CALLED AHEAD and asked how the greens were healing after learning from Greenskeeper.org that they were punched on March 27/28th. In the fairway on the 1st hole I found out that this is not the only AERATED fairway. My playing partners told me that they saw the punching machinery active on the back 9 AS THEY DROVE UP. Turns out 16 of the 18 fairways were aerated all on that day. Playing at 11 am meant the machines were finishing each fairway just as we were approaching each tee, lifting up fresh mud balls, and eliminating any chance for distance or good lies. NO WARNINGS FROM REC PARK before the round or even at check in. NO WARNINGS AND NO HELP from TeeOff, either before the round or upon calling to complain.
The greens were bumpy and it was hard to find your ball off the fairway
Sad
I know there has been a lot of rain this winter but this was a joke, the was no cut line between the the fairway and rough the golf carts don’t even have glass it’s just sad.
