Walked

Terranea

Walked the Blacks (1239) in 1H, 20M playing as a single. The weather was clear, windy and in the mid 80's.

Easy & fun course to walk. No motorized carts but a nice walking cart is included as part of your fee. No GPS, but they do have range finders on the tees. The Pro Shop is in a trailer but is well stocked and very functional. Very nice chipping and pitching green in addition to the large practice putting green that is usually very reflective of the greens on the course. No driving range, they have nets for you to warm up in.

Tremendous views plus a really good course layout make this a very fun par 3 course. However, while not bad, the course is not in as good of condition as usual here. Most holes have elevation changes and the prevailing ocean wind always swirls here.

The tees had good coverage, were level and semi lush but had lots of divot damage. Looks like they have a few tees opened farther back than where the markers are, so they may be looking to stretch out a few holes?

The fairways and rough do not come into play all that much on a par 3 course, but both were in good shape. The rough is thick around the sand traps, other than the native areas and the deep faced traps, that is the main real punitive area to avoid.

The sand traps were well maintained with thick sand that I find to be inconsistent. They are tough to get balls up/down with some of the huge lips and deep rough close to the traps here.

The greens are huge for a short par 3 course, so expect some long lag putts. They putted medium fast and were mostly smooth. More ball marks than average which may be why they were still receptive to nice high approach shots even though they were firm.

The Customer Service from everyone encountered was excellent as usual here. Recommended = Yes. You should play here at least once for the views and nice layout.

Hard packed around greens

Somewhat spread out layout with poor directions between holes. Several holes without tee markers. Ground around greens hard pack with early holes with mostly dirt bunkers. Greens very slow and several with unrepaired hallmarks .
Most greens surrounded with challenging front bunkers making for challenging approach. Overpriced except for ordeal

One of the best par 3s in the country

This is a fantastic par 3 with some of the best views of any golf course in Los Angeles county. It’s expensive for a par 3, but you get what you pay for…

Refurbishing

Over all experience was nice, there was some work being done on a couple of the finishing holes. Quite expensive for a par 3, 9 hole course. I guess you’re paying for the views. I would recommend skipping the weekend at $80 a player and play during the week with the Group On deal!

Best Par 3 Course

This course never displeases a great layout that allows not great golfers to enjoy themselves and good golfers to be very challenged. Amazing views and course conditions are always really good. It would be nice if they invested in a real clubhouse and the cost to play here has been getting very expensive for only 9 holes of par threes. Great customer service, I do miss the apples on the course. Garrett the starter made our day by brining us beers because we got stuck behind a very slow group. Overall highly recommend this place.
