Played Alondra on Friday 28 Nov, a holiday, so the course was very busy and slow. This was my first time playing since the front nine was renovated. I like the layout of the new front nine much better than the old layout. Sill needs to mature and the winter rain (if we get any) will help the new course. The greens were great but players need to repair their divits. Maybe a friendly reminder of some kind will help. The new sand traps were more numerous and in good condition. The back nine could use some new and better sand. The fairways on the front and back were very thin with lots of bvare spots. Hope the new irrigation and winter rains will help. Friendly course as there is no rough, so it is easy to find your mi sh$t ball. Still slow play but that is the case on all course that allow five some's. So plan on the slow play and you will enjoy the game better. At least you are outside doing something fun well sometimes fun.

I have been playing Alondra for many years..the newly opened front 9 is a big improvement. The greens are bumpy because they can't be mowed very short at this time..understandable. Improvements needed are sand on the drive carts..certainly needed to repair divots. For some reason they have buckets of sand on the tee areas..where players usually don't take divots. The bunkers are huge but have nice, fluffy sand. More rakes are needed for this reason. The greens are bigger..but long rather than wide. The back nine is pretty bad as it has been neglected in favor of the work on the front..the greens in particular are in urgent need of repair. There are no immediate plans to fix this nine as the money is not available. It is quite a disappointment to play the Front Nine and then move onto the horrible Back. To the unwary, be carefull driving off in your cart after completing play on the 18th...there is no path and you are driving strainght into the 1st tee of the Par 3...something should be done about this safety hazard.

OK I will photos posted soon but here is the skinny. The front 9 just opened up October 27; no expected date to finish the back 9 but I have heard it all comes down to money.

Been eyeing the course for some time. The changes I feel were needed and the updated look was appealing -- from a distance. Don't mean to poopoo on their parade but the greens were SLOW, and bumpy. If you have ever played Alondra you know the greens are SLOW and BUMPY but silly me why would I expect the greens to be any different from what they were? All I can say is same dog; different set of fleas. Greens can be best characterized like the better fairways of a premium course. According to a staffer that works there they will NOT cut those greens until they "firm up." Take my word, it could be another month before I consider even visiting that place again. Fairways are nice. Bunkers on front are well stocked with sand -- soft and fluffy. Just make sure the bunkers have the rakes in them and accesible because even these players can't be bothered with cleaning up their mess. Fairways are OK. I see their money is well spent on the fairway grass b/c some of it looks as if it's dying. (see hole 8 it's dry and looks like the sod didn't take). Overall I was impressed with the layout but honestly I could care less what the fairways are so long as the greens are in good shape. That being said I can honestly see my hard earned tax dollars squadered on a golf course that would have been better served if they actually spent money fixing and ensuring the greens would be better especially after waiting more than 6 months to recover. I was honestly disappointed. If I had my choice to play again... I wouldn't be playing here... for another month even two. Good luck to you others like myself that play here in the upcoming weeks only to be disappointed with really ugly greens. So bumpy in fact I see the ball jump different direction even with a small 3 foot put.

Redesigned front nine will reopen at the end of October. When the front 9 opens again i would suggest just playing at twilight and forget the back 9. The greens are in bad shape with many bare spots

I play here twice a year and nothing has changed. Still the same molasses lumpy greens and dry crab grass fairways. For the price, good practice round for your drives, irons, and chips. Don't bother putting or posting your score.

Alondra used to be my home course in high school, and I have to say it is a piece of junk as is all South Bay golf. Go sleep in your car and play Los Verdes or play the toxic wasteland known as Victoria. At Alondra, you will most be in a 5 some of hackers. This is an easy course. It is wide open. The greens are all elevated and slow. You should move to No Cal and play the awesome, empty golf courses up here! On second thought, stay in LA!

Played yesterday (7/15) 6:30PM for the super twilight rate of $8.00! It is true that only back 9 (10-18) available now and #10 has been shortened for the renovation. Played only 4 holes because lots of people are playing, even at 7PM. For $8.00 and its location (been central to south bay), there is not much to complain. But this is, IMO, a very tight and dangerous course. #11 is next to a busy park, lots of people running and lots of cars parked, with wire fence of less than 5 feet tall. A mis-hit hook could injure someone. Please play with caution there. The greens are actually nice but slow, probably not rolled as needed.

$19.50 for 9 holes. Major Renovation like MC said. Expect front 9 to be out of commission for 6 months. Back 9 to follow. This is a vanilla course, flat with strange undulations. Course looks longer than it is and that is perhaps b/c it is so flat. You get wind that plays into your golf game here in the afternoons. Greens are quicker than the look but hard to hold line with Poa growing. Very bumpy greens. Tee boxes some are flat some are not. Fairways are well... there. They are green and looks like they are doing a better job of maintenance. Sand in traps are OK. Playable and OK. Still 9 holes took 2 1/5 hours.

I played the 18-hole executive course on 5/26. It was a bit claustrophobic with the holes so close together. The greens are the size of postage stamps, but otherwise great short-game practice. By the way, the front nine of the regulation course is shut down for a major overhaul - don't know for how long.

Played Alondra in the wind on 3/15. The course is fair shape. Greens are small and on the slow side. No real definition between the fairways and rough. There are lots of concrete drainage ditches throughout the course that are unsightly. Not an exciting course.

In a pinch I recommend this place. Staff today was very nice and accomodating. As a single the starter helped me get out. Thanks to Mark in the Starter's office for being good natured and helpful.

Now the stuff I didn't like. Greens are bumpy. Balls do not roll true. Fine that on that cold day the greens were firm, I could deal with that, but come on putting on a bumpy green just plain sucks. It's the luck of the draw that your ball would end up where you plan it to and if all golfers would depend upon luck to make a put I should have been in Vegas taking advantage of this luck. Fairways are .... OK. Little barren but playable. Tee boxes -- a good portion of them on the front 9 are unlevel. My pet peeve was playing with a twosome of newbies. Completely unfriendly they decided to take off in their cart after they hit leaving the 3-some walking they were also with (including me) the dubious honor of hitting into them. After yelling for them to come back we proceeded but then they wanted us to go ahead. In retrospect we should have but what good would that do? We would still have to wait. We would still have them hit into us and we would piss off the groups behind us. Amazingly we did keep pace with the group ahead even with the newbies, but at the expense of getting hit into numerous times by the newbies in the group. Kind of unsettling especially if you have to keep looking behind you since they were lagging behind. Slow round, stopped after 9 very painful holes. My only advice to newbies, stick to the par 3 exective courses. If you can't hit a 5 iron 150 yards don't even bother trying a bigger course. You can, but can you deal with the frustration factor?

Alondra is a nice traditional style city course. Fairways are tree lined and tend to be average in width. The course is primarily flat. Greens were in good shape. They tend to be elevated from the fairway and average in speed. Not much break or hold. Fairways were green and cut to a good level. No dry spots visible. Tee boxes were level and green. The rough was at a reasonable level, but still challenging. Sand was good in quality. Excellent for explosion shots to the green. All in all, Alondra has greatly improved from past reviews. It is a good track with good care. The practice facility is very nice as well. Driving range from mats, chipping area, and several practice putting greens. A solid city course.

Perhaps because of the reviews here I was not expecting much at all from this course. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The course is making an attempt to improve conditions and their work is starting to pay off. Although still not in great shape the fairways and greens are noticably improving. This course is worth playing with reasonable value and short playing times for a muni. If the conditions continue to improve I'd like to see what happens over the next few months.
Watch out for the sand though. It vaires from clumpy to rock hard. Each bunker is a different story.

Dropped off kids at school so had some time to play a round of golf before work. Easy for single to get on. 4 1/2 hour round easily. No group behind or in front. We were a five and the foursome behind couldn't keep up. OK to break the stereotype I saw in my group 4 Koreans that all fixed their divots and the divots of others. Just like Bogey said it only takes the proper training. Greens however were in bad shape. Crows are tearing up the place. Greens will not roll that true but after they were cut I did notice the balls started to roll flatter and better towards the hole. Fairways look burnt and overwatered in areas. Straightforward vanilla course. What you see is what you get. I play here b/c I can get on fast and certainly beats working.

This is by far the worst golf course I have ever played at. A friend of mine wanted to play here, so I decided to make a 1:30 pm tee time. Not knowing what to expect since the last time I played here was about 5 years ago. My first problem was when paying for my green fee, they only accept cash. What normal 18 hole golf course do not accept credit cards or debit cards? Luckily my partner had enough cash to pay for both of us. Second, I have never seen such horrible greens like Alondra Park's. Alot of brown spots all over the greens and not to mention how thick they are too. Third, you have to keep a good eye on your ball because other players just hit them without checking it. I don't know how many times I drove my ball off the fairway and seen other ignorant players hitting my ball. There's just way too many hackers who have no idea what is going on. I will never ever play at this sorry a$$ course. For those who never played here, don't!!! Try Victoria golf course or Lakewood Country club, same price as Alondra Park but much better!!

Alondra, you are as flat and as unimaginative as I am loud and in-your-face. Typical city run muni. Overwatered. Some of the sprinklers are leaking so they have shut-off issues. Greens are BUMPY, SLOW and its a good guess where the ball will roll. You folks out there have got to fix those divots I mean the greens are soft enough but with all the boucey rolls you get why do you have to have to worry about that PLUS fixing divots? Sand ok. Packed but playable. Fairways are soggy in spots but green for the most part. Some areas for Back 9 are pretty brown though. Tee boxes are really undulating but dealable. Just tough to find a flat spot sometimes. Played behind a 5-some family for front 9 but they were good sports and allowed us to play though on back 9. We filled the gap. They were behind at least 1-2 holes behind on the front. I loved his response to us to play a little faster on the front 9, "We are playing as fast as we can." I am sorry but playing at a Muni you don't have the luxury of slow play. At the very least keep up with the group ahead. I mean staying behind at least a half-hole is not OK but tolerable but 1 hole to 2 holes behind? Come on. Light a fire up that arse and grow a pair; man-up and play a lot more faster. I mean if a 4-some walking can keep the pressure of a 5-some riding & walking... grow a pair and get a move on!

Played Alondra 8-18-07, pace was actually pretty decent. This is the course to break 80...that is if you can get some putts to drop on these bumpy pitted greens. All par 5s are birdie holes, keep a close eye on your ball because its always crowded and everyone is playing army golf.

Not one of the better courses you will play. Extremely crowded and the greens are terrible. It's like putting on shag carpet (although I believe you would get a smoother roll on the carpet). I would only go back if it were my absolute last option.

One of the few places I know where you show up around 12-1PM and you can get out. It's your basic vanilla course -- what you see is what you get. Greens are OK. Bumpy but what are you going to do about it? It's a public course. One concern though some idiot thought it was clever to notch 5 holes on the front 9. I mean he/she/it took a divot on the hole; disfiguring it. Not nice if you ask me. Highlight of the day was getting hit into twice. First time I hear this barely audible, "Fore, fore, fore!" on hole 9. The problem was this golfer was trying to hit the green on hole 18 (40 feet away) which happens to be adjancent to hole 9 we were playing. Ball lands 6-10 feet in front of us. OK it happens. Next time we are on hole 11 on the tee box UNDER a tree and we hear no yell but I swear the ball bounces inches from a kid in our group and bounces out of bounds or somewhere. Now this ball hits into us on the fly and the guy that hit it didn't even seem sorry about it saying he did yell "fore." Then he is convinced we hit his ball out of bounds. Wonderful. I honestly don't know what peeved me off the most -- getting hit into or being accused of hitting his ball out of bounds. We were under a tree 15-20 feet from the 10th green waiting to hit on the next tee box. Now the ball goes though the tree; hits into our group on the fly; hits the side of a hill, which also happened to be hard pan, and bounces to places unknown and he has the nerve to blame us? Or in particular me? LOL geeze give me a break. This place is almost as target happy as that overpriced course in OC -- Meadowlark.

Course was in average shape. Fairways had a lot of dry spots which is pretty hard to believe since its summer. Greens were flat and balls rolled true. Alondra has the WORST golf cart ever!!! I thought the cart was going to die on the first hole and this wasn't the first time it's happened. Very average course but for $21.50, I guess you get what you pay for.

WeLL, I played the BIG course today (6-7-07). From blue t's (6577yds.). Over all course conditions = Shotty!!! but you know that. Tee boxes = mostly level and plenty of grass. Fairways = LARGE targets very open. Rough = NONE almost equal 2 fariway. Greens = always a challange cause you dont know which way the bumps will take it... Have fun thats the key!!!!

Alondra's basic layout is good and challenging. But the maintenance of the course is poor. There is virtually no differentiation between the fairway and the rough. There is virtually no rough. The fairways include a wild variety of weeds and grasses. Sometimes they mow. The bunkers have a dense, dark stone dust (not sand) in them. When they're wet they're like cement. There is little style to the course grounds. Lakewood is at a whole level higher of quality for about the same fee. Alondra deserves better oversight and upkeep. I wish the County would pay attention to the poor maintenance.

You basically get what you pay for from this course. The greens are slightly bumpy, tee boxes okay, and fairways brownish-green throughout the course. I would consider Alondra a more challenging city course because of the small and elevated greens, the distance of 6k yards off the womens tee, and the ocean breeze that makes it a bit more difficult. Also, it gets busy at this course like any other city course so prepare for a long round.

$28 To walk Weekends. I was suprised how fast we played. I think weather had a factor but course did move quickly. Groups ahead kept very brisk pace. Only time we caught up with them was on back 9. Group behind was behind us be we were a walking 4-some and fast at that. I highly doubt they were complaining. Course is in good shape since aerification. Give one more week for bumpiness to go away and greens should be very nice indeed. Balls do stick well though considering. Fairways are lush. Some waste areas there are not marked off so they do come into play. Staff was very friendly. Their goal it seemed was to get you out ASAP which was the case for this single walk-on. Sand was agreeable. Tee boxes were a little on the uneven side and you can tell. Overall this is a vanilla course. What you see is what you get -- no suprises. Would have nicer if they place tees further back for weekend and rotate them forward during the week. Otherwise how can you complain when you could have finished a round in 4-4 1/2 hours?

I seldom play here, and after over 5 1/2 hours of hit and wait, I remember why. And it isn't just the grueling wait, the course is in just not very good shape! Lots of weeks, bare spots, etc. I tried to be kind with my rating, because of the severe winter, but I suspect that if I came back during the summer. (which I won't!) it will not be much better. Rather than complain, I think it's just better to stay away for maybe another 10 years, which is how long it's been since I last here.

Course is in good shape. Tee boxes have some issue about being flat but remember you don't have to always hit from the markers to find a flat spot. Fairways were green and lush. Rough around greens were fluffy and took a lot out of high shots. St. Augustine grass was brutal as it grabbed both club and ball. Traps had plenty of sand. Greens were a little bumpy but still good enough for this cow pasture. You get what you see on this course with no suprises. Not bad for a walk on at around 8:30. Waited only 30 mins to get onto green.

Tees were mushy. Need a tall tee to get the ball above the spongy crabgrass on most tees. Traps were very hard and damp. Lots of areas were very wet (poor drainage). Average fairways and rough. More of a park than a golf course but they are trying.

used to play this course quite a bit, continues to disappoint. it's gradually getting worse. it's not even a challenge, if you play any golf, not worth the price or wait. you can take a few months off and go shoot in the 70s here, but only if the greens are running decent (majority of the time they suck). the cash only policy mentioned below also makes this place not worth it. you would think with all the cash they bring in that they can put a little towards maintenance. they have to be bringing enough dough with sending out 5somes and 6 hour rounds. this place sucks, they should tear it down and build another one. the location is too good to have such a sorry excuse for a course

Played on 1/28, granted only the back nine early, but the greens are the best/fastest I've ever seen at Alondra. Still soft, but rolling true and even broke a little! A fun, no trouble course, that can surprise you when you think you'll go low.

I wouldn't put this course in a "must play" category but overall it's not a bad course. The fees are fairly low and you're basically getting what you pay for. The tee boxes are OK, the fairways are inconsistent, the sand is OK, the greens were acually in very decent shape. For a local course the greens stood out... very consistent speed and fairly smooth. Speed of play was a bit slow but this was a holiday. If more golfers there would fill their divots it would really help the fairways. It's got a decent layout; overall I would rate this course a 5 out of 10 (1 being the worst and 10 being the best).

Wide Open easy course.
Hard to find trouble. Not much distinction between fairway and rough. The challenge is in the slightly elevated, tiny greens. Every green is flat with virtually no break. Greens are medium/slow pace, bumpy and not maintained very well. Good course for beginners (lots of high handicappers here). Play is slow. Nothing worth traveling for. I play here often because it is 10 minutes from work. Hole #3 is worth mentioning... Hole #3 is a 180+ par 3 that has a very tall palm tree smack in the middle of the fairway directly between the tee box and Pin. It get's hit over a dozen times a day by balls headed for the center of the green. Rediculous!
Also, the staff gives you the impression that they would rather be anywhere else. Regardless, I still have fun there.

Alondra is a great course for a first timer to try a regulation 18 hole course.

What a dump. Wet and soggy fairways that needed severe maintenance. Tons of potholes on the greens. As mad as I was to be there i fixed several. Hard to find a clean spot on the tee boxes. Very unfriendly staff from the starter to the pro shop to the lunch shack. Second time playing here and that is twice too many. Will not be back for a third.

OK flat, straight-forward course. Some deceptively semi-challenging holes, some really easy holes. No real trouble. Good shape and green overall. Slow greens, as stated before, don't worry about the break. Go after 8 a.m and you can pretty much walk on.

It's spring again. Course in as good as shape as any. Fairways well groomed as are greens. Tee boxes are a bit sketchy with quite a few divots. Greens are soft and receptive but slow. Firm stokes are a must on this course. Not much break for back 9 I played. Course fairly straight forward but occassional tree comes into play on back 9. Check out holes 17 and 18. Whoever thought that trees in the middle of the fairway is neat should be drug out and shot.

Several temporary tee boxes are in play. Greens have grown thick since aeration was done recently. Don't putt the breaks because your ball will hardly break.

Played on 3/5, Arrived at 9:10am, put in my name on the waiting list, went to the practice green, rolled 6 putts and my name was called and I was on the 1st tee in less than 10 minutes.

The overall condition of the course was not as bad as I expected. (I was expecting pretty bad) and was able to finish our round in just over 4 hours. Believe me, I couldn't believe it either.

My only complaint was my approach shots would hit dead center of the green and roll off the back edge into the rough. It happened 5 times, extremely frustrating when you make some good shot and that happens.

Overall, a good experience... this time.

I know, I know, I keep saying I won't come back. This time I played twilight with my sons, so I came in expecting little, and course was okay. Tee-boxes beat to hell, and no sand in traps, but fairways were okay, and greens were a little bumpy and slow, but very receptive. Pace of play was okay also, about 4:45 on a Saturday afternoon. I will say they have good practice facilities though. A good day with my kids.

Don't order Hamburgers at the turn unless you want to wait for 15-20 minutes and let groups pass you by. But the burgers are good good if you're not in a hurry.
This was my first time here and on a weekend. For a City course this one was in better condition than the Valley LA courses i'm use to playing. The weather was alot cooler as well.
Weekday play seems to be a better value.

One day i took my son to the chipping green . This jerk gets upset because he can't have the practice area to himself, so he starts whinning and taking full swings on 10 yard pitch shots, shanking shots in our direction. Finally after a another shot flew past my son i scream at this idiot to knock it off. His reply in broken english was "haven't you hit a bad shot". Typical of the players and etiquette here.

i know, but i gave it another try.....stupid idea. we had a 6:55 tee time,one member of our threesome ran late, arriving at 6:35.but the starter haraassing us at6;20 to get on the tee and threaten us with a lost tee time, did i mention we had a 6:55 time? but what do you want for a muni? since skylinks shut down everything is crowded an slow.save your money, buy a red dot book, and go play robinson ranch. you get what you pay for, and this nightmare is worth 21 bucks my fellow cheap b*st%rd s

Okay, this is the last time I am playing the reg. course. What a loss of a day. They actually had a sixsome in front of us. Starters are rude, pace of play is horribly slow, course in poor shape. The funny thing is I think the Par 3 course is a tough test of golf. I play it regularly during daylight savings time after work.

I havent experienced any of the issues some of these others have, its not the nicest course by any means, but if your a walk on you'll get out with not too long a wait. Greens did have a severe fungus problem some time ago but now for the most part are in decent condition. I hear people complain about ball marks, when I'm fixing mine I always fix 1 or 2 of the knuckleheads who didn't, try it.

This course is a nightmare! If you're a beginner, and can't hit anything straight, feel free to drop down your $15 twilight fee and have a good time. Otherwise, plan for crooked starters, rude marshalls, and terrible playing conditions. Drive the extra 20 minutes and play Victoria or Los Verdes. It's nearly the same price and ten-times as nice!!!

An 'ok' course, a couple of interesting holes, most greens elevated. Good etiquette from fellow golfers and friendly customer service both hard to find at this course. Anytime the best parking spots are reserved for management you know customer service is not one of their concerns. Cut-off denim shorts or tank tops are not banned, but evidently divot tools are. Play this course as a last resort and remember to lock your car door.

I have played this course many many times since 1983. It is not far for me. If you have a drive of more than 20 minutes don't bother with Alondra. This course has served such a large population for so many years that with all the money they make it is a shame that they can't maintain decent greens. It is very rare that the greens are even close to good condition. Alondra has a flat, plain layout and look. Elevated greens add some difficulty to this wide open course. Not many hazards here make it a good course for a beginner golfer.

If you are trying to get a early start or late twilight round go somewhere else. I have encountered a ninesome, a lady sneaking on the course while i was teeing off, a starter that tried to pocket my change and a marshall that harasses everyone to get off the course before the sun goes down.

L.A. County course with some nice holes and wide open fairways. Crowded during the weekends which lead to slow play. It's better to play during the week here. Good value for an L.A. County course.
