For the course that opens for just 3 months, the greens'conditions are horrible!! They were very bumpy. Some area of the greens are starting to burn out, at this rate, they will loose most of the greens by the end of the summer.

Conditions around the greens are also marginal. Many apron area were already damaged and being replaced by sod from other area.

The pace of play is 5 1/2 hours or more.

$35 senior rate on Thursday is not too bad.

It's very hot when we played, 7/3/08, they don't have enough drinking water on the course but the cart girls came by every 30 minutes or so.

Fantastic conditions for city owned courses. Greens are the best in L.A. (muni).

Too much money for the price! Fairways are terrilble.

As a SCGA member, I thought we got cheated on this deal. SCGA golf course, since SCGA bougt it in 1983 (And I did play ther ethe very first week SCGA bought the place), has reputation to be a marginal conditions course at best. Depite their good looks, greens are usually slow and bumpy espicially in the afternoon. Coot' droppings are killing the greens on #10 and # 12. When I played in the PM, at least 100 fresh coot droppings on #10 greens. None fixed the ball marks on the greens. Their decision not to overseed with rye grass this season, in my opinion, made the situation worst. They should reduce the greenfee since they save at least $20K from not overseeding. Complimentary range balls to all the players when the courses are less than 100% would make $48 member greenfee easier to deal with. I played on 2/24th and it took me almost 6 hours to play! Unacceptable pace but noone seems to care. It will be at least early summer before fairways are decent again.

While NCGA has two masterpiece golf courses in Poppy Hills and Poppy Ridge, all the SCGA members like us has to deall with shady conditions course like SCGA. It's a dump, in my opinion.

Contradictory to previous email, I rather play Cross Creek with @#$%% attitude staff than SCGA any time.
