A Nice Round!

We play here about once every two months or so. The fairways were in perfect condition! Green and lush with no burned out areas as in the past at times. A marshall kept the pace of play moving nicely, which has been an issue in the past. Also, the starter keeps everything in check! Keep up the great work!

No More Fivesomes

I would have given this course at least a four, but apparently they are now allowing fivesomes! We were stuck behind a group of five that quickly got two holes behind the group ahead of them. Of course it slowed play for us and all of the groups behind us. We understand the facility wants the extra revenue, but slow play will dissuade players from booking at Los Amigos in the future.

Nice course and great pace of play.

Not sure if we just lucked out, but the pace of play was excellent due to the fact that there were not many foursomes. The fairways were lush. The greens were nice but needed to be rolled as they were a bit bumpy. A good price for the course.

Nice course, but slow play

We usually enjoy playing this course, but not today. Play was very slow and the fairways are still like hitting off of hard pan. Will delay playing again until there is grass on the fairways.

Hello and thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. Please know that this is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Rio Hondo Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Overpriced and Horrendously Slow Play

This course is definitely not worth the money, considering the fact that only 14 holes are open for play. Dad Miller should be charging no more than $30/round. The pace of play was the worst that we had encountered all year. A foursome was two holes behind the nearest group, so the frustrated 20 year old punks behind decided that they were going to try to play the course Marshal (which were nonexistent). Really rude golfers out there! We ended up bypassing two groups ahead of us and the foursome never did catch up to us. To make matters worse, the fairways are still in extremely poor condition. WE WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO THIS COURSE!

Checkin was fast and friendly. The pace of play was outstanding with the new 10 minute separation. No waiting on any holes! Course was in excellent shape! Food and service at the clubhouse was outstanding.

Nice Course but Slow Play

I have played this course a couple of times over the past month. The course is in great condition for the dead of summer. The main drawback is slow play caused by too many groups of five. I don’t know why the Los Angeles area courses allow this but it is really ruining the game.

Nice course but slow play

Decided to try this course again after encountering a six hour round in November! Things haven’t improved in that regard! Five plus hours in mid-day on a Tuesday is not acceptable! The course is enjoyable but the pace of play is really bad!

Fun but Challenging Course

I was a first timer at this course. The staff was friendly and the course is beautiful. The greens and fairways were in excellent condition. The course is fun to play but demands precision. I look forward to playing it again especially now that I know what to expect.

Overall, the course was fun and challenging. The front nine wad horribly slow and the marshals should have been moving a couple do inexperienced groups forward. The back nine was great as those groups stopped after the front nine. Will definitely play this course again as the layout was a lot of fun!

Lost our Business!

I booked a round for four people through Golf Now. After paying we discovered that the person behind the desk did not honor the online rate. Each person was overcharged by $2. Because we weren't overcharged by a large amount we didn't challenge it. Next, the pace of place was by far the worst we had ever experienced on this course at more than 5 1/2 hours. When we asked why they didn't have a Marshall to move things along they just said it was a busy day and they don't use Marshalls. They put far too many fivesomes on the course and there were many beginners who were playing from the long tees. They were hitting balls into other golfers, into golf carts and everywhere else. All of this destroyed the experience for most of the golfers out there on this day. Will likely never play at Los Amigos again!

To say your not going to play a good golf course like Los Amigos because of a few bad golf shots and perhaps a new golfers bad judgement and because the round took 5 1/2 hrs. This is par for any golf course. I plan to be on the course for most of the day and to save an hour (3 mins. per hole) doesn't make my day any better or worse , are you sure you didn't just play poorly. It's a good golf course give it and yourself another shot. Now for the 8 bucks Really?

Nice Course but Rude Marshalls

We booked two tee times as we had six players. Two singles were paired with our group. This course is always in excellent condition. The group ahead of ours were novice players like our group. We kept up to the group ahead of us until they left around the 14th hole. Just after they disappeared a Marshall stopped and told us to speed up because we weren't keeping up with the group ahead of us. What a jerk!! I guess we were supposed to have followed that group to the clubhouse as well when they decided to stop playing. Not sure I would play this course again with so many other beautiful courses available in the Palm Springs area at less cost.

Excellent Course for Novice Players

We chose this course because of previous reviews we had read. Three of us played a 7:00 AM tee time in just three hours. The fairways and greens were in perfect condition from a recent reseeding. The fairways were were generous as two of our group are higher handicap players. Would definitely play the course again.

A beautiful and fair course for novice players.

The course was just reseeded, so we were restricted to the cart paths. We still enjoyed this beautiful course. As novice players we found it challenging, but fair, yielding a number of pars for our group. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. We would definitely love to play this course again in the future!!
