Best muni around

Another great round at the muni. Pace was great, conditions were good (some disease or vandalism on a couple greens and fairways) but never affected my play. Definitely play again.

It’s short but it’s target golf

Greens are small and with different grass variation and well maintained. Can’t wait to play again

Fun local Golf Course

Unfortunately the greens are not great right now but that would be the only complaint perionly complaint. Staff is very friendly very welcome. The layout is good the fairways are good.. Given the time of year and our extreme heat I'm sure the greens will be OK soon. Highly recommended

Way too slow for the money.

$90 got us a cart and 18 holes. Unfortunately the groups in front of us were not golfers. Played in their bare feet and shared clubs between them. It just wasn’t that fun!!

SB muni

Nice old school course in great condition. Can be a bit of a death march out there at times. Helmet golf at times. Aside from that it is a fair, fun and challenging track. Far enough away from LA to keep them away which is nice.
