Had a 5:48 tee time on Saturday, May 3. Teed off on time. There were a couple of groups in front of us. We only had to wait on the group in front of us a few times. I think we ended up finishing in around 4 hrs 15 mins.

Course was in excellent shape. When I say "excellent", keep in mind that we are talking about a heavily played public course. Nothing is lush on this course but considering the amount of play and the drought conditions, "excellent" is an apt description. Tee boxes were in great condition, fairways were good, rough spotty and greens excellent. This morning, the greens were fast but true.

As to customer service, not sure if sunset9 played on the same day that I did. We were one of the first few groups out so there was no issue with starting late or carts not being available or unavailable range balls. The young girl at the cash register was nice enough. I walked but I know that the guys in our group who rode were immediately descended upon by golfers looking for carts. I didn't stay after the round to eat so I cannot comment about customer service in the bar/restaurant.

There was a large group of guys in orange shirts on the course. Forgot what they called themselves but they were out there in force. Looked like they were all in carts so not sure if their sheer mass drained the stock of carts.

If you tee off EARLY at the Long Beach courses you can almost always bet that your experience will be pleasant.

Played on 07/20/13. Course is in great shape and ready for the Long Beach Open. My group and I play El Do, Rec and Skylinks every Saturday depending on where we can get the earliest tee time. In my opinion, El Do is in the best shape of all of them at the moment.
