Great shape

Staff was awesome, pace a play was 3-50. Teed off @ 7am. Not bad for a holiday! Course was in great shape. Very green. Tee boxes were good except 1 or 2 were a little beat up. Sand was good. Fairways were lush & the greens were pure! We had a great time & hope to back soon.

Twilight

Booked a 4pm tee time not expecting to get all 18 holes in. Pace of play was moving right along, and finished all 18 holes with plenty of daylight left at around 7:30pm.

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.

First Time Playing

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.
