Rio Hondo is one of the course in L.A. county that is prone to less traffic. It is little bit more $$ for non-residents of downey but their twilight starts earlier than muni courses so it is cheaper compare to Wilson. Rio Hondo twilight first five tee times usually finishes eighteen but Wilson course twilight no way you can finish 18 if you play twilight.

Alot of Commenters have been complaing about the fairway browness and how they dont water but it has nothing to do with the water. During the winter and cold weather, Bermuda grass becomes dormant or dead due to the lack of sunlight. The lack of sunlight affects the chlorophyll in the grass which makes it brown. Rio hondo should be back to good shape around St Patricks Day. Also, this green bumpiness? I play rio 3 or 4 days a week for the past year now and im making more putts than ever so dont worry about the greens.

Played the back 9 today. Fairways are typical for this time of the year..dorman/brown. Some of the greens were bumpy..liek the "waffle" comment earlier..but think they're just letting it grown out..s... Continue »

Played the back 9 today. Fairways are typical for this time of the year..dorman/brown. Some of the greens were bumpy..liek the "waffle" comment earlier..but think they're just letting it grown out..some were still in great shape. Still a testing course for anyone. Bring your game.

Fairways are brown, with lots of divots, or just plain clumpy. Greens are medium to fast, but very bumpy at times. They kinda look and putt like someone pressed a giant waffle iron over all of them.

Played Rio Hondo on 1/18 on day that started out in the low 50's but ended up a beautiful one. The course is in winter shape but the greens are extremely fast and the cups placed in difficult locations. This is a course worth knowing as the few water hazards tend to be out of sight. The course has few par 3's and plays long. Nicely kept facility.

Played sat 1/20, second group off.. finished 4:15. Fairways brown and thin, like every other course in the area. Greens in great shape. fast and tough reads. Very nice round.

Played the day after Christmas and round took 5 hours- a bit long but acceptable on a public course for that day I think. We could have used some marshalls out there though to speed play on a few occassions since the group in front of us did fall behind a hole. Never saw a marshall on the course all day. That said, this is the finest City course in the Los Angeles area I know of with the exceptions of Rancho Park and Wilson. It is a great test of golf with an exceptional layout for a course with these green fees. The restaraunt is good, too. Yes, customer service could be better-but keep in mind this is a city course, not one of those $80-$125 green fees courses we play. I am going to try and get out on a weekday morning and see if I can get in a four hour round...
