Nice & quick

It is a quiet spot in the city where you can practice quick short games. A bird chasing dog named Oliver welcomes you.

Nice but course UNDER REPAIR

The staff were super friendly and the course looked like would be nice if the conditions weren’t undergoing repair. The winter rains really did a number and there are several holes that are being completely reseeded. The 8th hole is also closed as half the green was washed out.

8th Hole Closed

Did not know that until we reached the 7th tee and saw the 8th was "taped" off. At first I thought there was an alternate green, but no. We were not told the 8th was closed. It would not have caused us to leave, but at least maybe a discount or a free hot dog? The 8th is the most challenging hole. Heck it may have saved me a few bucks in golf balls in the lake. Other than that, it's worth giving this course a play, as there are longer par 3 holes than the nearby Top Golf The Lakes.

Recent Flood has damaged course

Golf course is nestled behind the Westdrift hotel. In normal conditions it’s a nice course. However, the recent rainstorms in SoCal has caused flooding on holes 6 and 8. Course is in remediation to repair flood damage but open for business. I still recommend the course for those in the Manhattan Beach area or visiting the hotel.

Fun course with plenty of challenges

Staff is excellent, course is in great shape minus the tee boxes. Great quick round requiring precision shots that will satisfy the golf bug in you. It’s a bit expensive for a par 3, but hey I’m fine with it being a little less crowded.

Horrible Tee Boxes!

Historically, this has been a great 9 hole course with pristine greens for short game management. About $10 overpriced but the condition of the course justified it.

Fast forward to the present and the greens are still in great condition. HOWEVER, the TEE Box areas are HORRIBLE. Bare, patchy grass, you name it. Think you'll just hit off the mats since it's a par 3? The mats are threadbare and you might as well hit some practice shots on the concrete in the parking lot for softness.

C'mon Westdrift, do better ASAP.

great little course

This par 3 course is not typical. The lay out is very nice and challenging. There's water on several holes and most greens are big and in good shape. The staff are friendly and professional. I have played this course about 50 times in the past few years and its always a good experience and always in good shape!
I highly recommend this course.

Great course, great staff, with some awful tee boxes

We were warned of the green aeration before booking so didn’t mind that at all but most of the tee boxes were in really rough shape. Some were more like patches of dirt than actual tee boxes. Other than this though the course was maintained very well with lush fairways and deep rough. Bunkers were in great condition too.

A hidden course of Rolling hills

Great course layout with rolling hills. Even amount of up and down hill and even ground holes. Couple of nice water features. But could use a few more sand trapper. Course is perfectly manicure with a nice putting range. Amenities are ligh but adequate with a small outdoor lounge area. Overall a great and very enjoyable 9 hole Course.

Great little par3!

This is a great little par3 to work on your short game. Lots of terrain variation. Generally in great condition but the day we played was shortly after the punched the greens. The staff gave us a discount due the the condition of the greens so no complaints there. Great, fun, quick round of golf to work on the short game after work!
