Worth the price

Great executive course for the price. Several par 4s allow you to pull out your driver if you choose.

Wide open fairways and would recommend for beginners.

Busy as expected on the weekend. Able to walk without any issues.

Little Rec a Hidden Gem!

This is one of the best courses in Southern California if you are looking for a 9-hole, 2+ hour round! There are four fun Par 4's and five challenging Par 3's, a great way to spend Friday afternoon before heading to Happy Hour. We'll be back soon!

Great Shape In the Rain

I took a chance on the weather being okay and lucked out. I teed off at 7 am in an effort to beat the rain. There was a light rain the whole round and the course was very playable. Greens were running very consistent with decent speed with the wetness. The starter was nice and let me go out 30 minutes earlier. I like the course as 3 of the 5 par 3's are over 150 yards and are challenging. You can hit your driver on all par 4's as well. Pace was around 1.5 hours and I took time to get in some practice chipping and putting. Will come back for sure!

Great Practice Course

I've played here twice last month and was very happy with what it was. Pace of play was between 1:45-2:00 both times. Great course for $11.99 on golfnow hot deals. The tee boxes and fairways are in great shape. The greens run around a 8-9 in the am and are very smooth to putt on. Great variety with (4) par 4's between 240-340 and (2) par 3's of 90-110 yards and (3) par 3's of around 160-170. Staff has always been friendly.

Paying 36$ means 72$ for 18, and there’s no way I’d pay that much for these conditions.

It’s a decent course for 9 holes

If you want to play just irons it’s a perfect course for that i personally only work on my iron game at this course. I personally wish they would fix the Greens Greens. There getting pretty rough but for the price it’s a decent deal Lil Rec.

A very reasonable price for a Sunday morning tee time! The course was challenging but not overwhelming! I really enjoyed my round!
