Played on 8/13/10 teed off at 2:45pm, starter was cool and gave my buddy and I the twilight rate. Started off fast but dead stop at the par three fourth hole. The foursome in carts in front of us were taking about 15 minutes on the greens, ever green. Got pace of play was horrible. Sun settled down at 8:15pm and we were on the 18th tee. Gave up and walked in. Also, the "regular" 3pm women's five-some twilight brigade hit into us twice. You know who you are short lady with the white visor =P

Played 8/16/10 teed off at 2:15pm. Finished at 6:30pm. fast play. No complaints but bunkers were still like the asphalt in the parking lot but with more rocks than sand.

Played 8/17/10 teed off at 2:30pm. 2 kids and their dad in front of us taking their time practicing. Three of us played through and front nine took us 1hour and 30 mins. Back nine took us 2 hours and 30mins (the three of us caught the group in front of us). excellent time of 4 hours.

Overall I think this is a great course but it is poorly managed. The greens fee is the best in southern California. $25 Mon - Fri. Even the LA city courses charges more on Friday. I live in west LA and I drive to Lawndale to play golf because it is cheaper. Not too much traffic on the 405 going south at 2pm or coming up north at 6-8pm either. Greens are in decent condition even though first three greens have different grass compared to the rest of the greens. Fairways are either lush, bare, or heavily wet with tire tracks. Bunkers are pathetic. Almost all the bunkers around the greens are clay mud with a sprinkle of sand surrounded by rocks. Tee boxes are decent but some have pot holes, or are hard as a rock, or need to be cut. Also, the regular guys that play there in the afternoons are D**ks. I am asian and it embarresses me when these guys are rude and have no manners (walking on lines, hitting before their turn, walking in front of you before you get to hit, walking off the green before everyone putts out, or talking in your back swing). I must play there about two or three times a week and the same guys/ladies at the same time. Also, management needs to have a better system of giving out tee times. It seems that certain tee times are given to certain people on a regular basis. I have called at 5:30am for a tee time for a foursome a week in advance and those blocks of times are already reserved. With all the negatives I still go back because it is still the best value around. I could pay 13 dollars more at Rancho Park but then I would also have to endure their 6 hour rounds.

Value= good
Customer Service = Decent
Course condition = Decent
Bunkers = Need to be fixed.
