Played 1/2 in the new year 2023 with a mid morning tee time. Pace of play was just over 4 hours for 18 holes. Haven’t played this fast in quite awhile.

We called the course beforehand and found out it was walking only. No riding carts on the course. With all the recent rains the last week of December, I can see why. The course was rather wet, muddy and had areas with large puddles of water. The tee boxes were level but we’re starting to get muddy. For a lot of holes, all the tee markers were all together. The fairways had good grass coverage but some areas were thin grass with a lot of mud. Had to move the balls on the fairways as I was either standing in water or in mud. Can’t comment on the bunkers but I can see there were pools of water in some of them. Greens were in decent shape but I found them quite firm. There were area on the fairways where it was roped off due to mud and pools of water. The driving range was open. Might wait until rains stop and let the course dry out before we play here again.

Played today 5/1 with a tee time just after 12 noon. POP was around 4 1/4 hours to play 18. Not bad for a Sunday.

We had cart issues because the cart person didn’t know how to reset the GPS in the cart. Cart would give message that you exceeded the number of holes and return to starter. We called and got a new cart. It started doing this again on the 18th hole.

The other issue we had was the greens haven’t quite recovered from being punched almost 2 weeks ago. The greens were rather sandy, bumpy and slow. Maybe wait 2 more weeks for it to recover.

The tee boxes were in good shape. The fairways were about average with good coverage from tee to green. The bunkers for once had decent sand for a change.

The clubhouse is under renovation and is currently closed. The starter is in a trailer next to the clubhouse. There’s a food truck on premises if you want to get food next to the driving range.

We had one last issue while playing. One person was hit by an errant ball from the driving range onto the 18th hole. I almost got hit by a ball while approaching my ball to hit a pitch shot to the 18th green. Be careful playing 18th hole. From about 150 yards in, there’s so much driving range balls here.

Played on Saturday 1/29 with a mid-morning tee time. POP was just awful. It took about 5 to 5 1/4 hours to play 18. We teed off about 20 - 25 minutes from our scheduled tee time. We had to wait to play on every hole. We got to hole #13 and by the time we teed off, there were 3 groups waiting to tee off. So we decided to let the group behind us that we would waive them up after we reached the 13 green. After we finished the 13th hole, POP on the last 5 holes was much better as it allowed more space from the group in front and behind us.

The tee boxes had decent coverage for this time of year. Fairways had good grass coverage but there were bare spots here and there. The fairways were very dry and the ground was very hard. The bunkers were a little hard packed today. The greens were running very fast today. It is not a flat course. Some holes are very hilly. First hole and the ninth hole are very tough to play with steep hill on both these holes.

I noticed on the driving range they got some new balls. When we got a bucket of balls, there was a mix of old and new balls. It's very hard to get a tee time on the weekends. They have gone to getting a tee time 9 days before at 9 am like the other LA County golf courses. We like playing here but playing here is starting to be what it was like pre-Covid (5 plus hours to play 18). Course has a nice layout going through a housing track. Snack bar is open.

Played on Sunday 1/2 with a mid-morning tee time. POP was around 4 1/2 hours to play 18.

As it was about 3 days after recent rains, the course was a little soggy. They let out electric carts today. But there were about 3 - 4 holes that were "cart" path only. For example, the 1st hole was totally roped off on each side of the fairway. So you could not drive your carts onto the fairways on these holes. There were so much mud on the fairways. Had to move the balls a lot as the ball was either in mud or in a water patch. The tee boxes were ok to hit off with very good coverage. I found that the bunkers were still rather wet. I landed in one and the ball disappeared into the water in the bunker. On other holes, the bunker was hard packed and wet. Greens were decent but it felt a little spongy as it was still wet. Balls still rolled ok. Have to remember to allow a little more time to play after it rains to allow the course to dry out.

With all the recent rains, we found that a number of trees had fallen down on the course. It does not come into play unless you pulled or pushed your shots.

Played today on Saturday 1/8 with mid-morning tee time. POP was around 4 1/2 hours to play 18. Haven't been here in awhile. It's a very challenging course.

First thing I noticed was that the number of stalls for driving range is small. I say around 20 - 25 stalls for a course that has 2 18 holes here. It was mats only this morning. Saw a sign that drivers were not allowed if you are hitting off driving mats. I understand it was recently re-opened about couple of months ago. If you want to hit balls before you tee off, you need to allow extra time to get a spot on the driving range.

Course is flat so you can walk. I noticed that the carts were different than before. There are using a geofence on some of the holes. So some holes were cart path only and cart path on par 3s. So if you don't follow the rules, the cart would lock up and you would have to put the cart in reverse to unlock the cart. Also the cart would lock up if you also get close to the greens.

The teeing area had rather good coverage. The fairways were decent for this time of year. Some areas were thin and dry, some had dirt patches but overall it was in good shape to play on. Water comes into play on one hole. On some other holes, you could possibly hit your ball OB into the flood control channel or onto the road that surrounds the course. The sand in the bunkers were hard packed at times and found that many bunkers were unraked. The greens were rather fast today. Balls would roll off the front/back of the greens. The greens have a lot of slope to it. On hole #12, the hole was shorter as they were using a temporary green in front of the regular green.

The restaurant is open and I saw there was a BBQ vendor also outside. Face masks were required to enter the clubhouse.

Played on Sunday 5/2 with a tee time before noon. POP was around 4 1/2 hours. Not bad. I remember it used to be around 6 hours to play here. We started right on time.

Course conditions are one of the best I've seen for this time of year. There's a reseeding in progress on some of the holes. The fairways had very good grass coverage from tee to green. Though there were some parts of the fairways that were a little sloshy and there wee bare spots here and there. Tee boxes have very good grass coverage. It wasn't as beat up like I've seen at other courses. Bunkers were a little hard packed and some had water in it. The greens are the best I've seen around. Sometimes the greens would roll a little bumpy. Most of the time balls would roll fairly smooth. It was a little windy when we played which will effect play on some of the holes.

The only drawback is that it's so hard to get a tee time here on the weekends. Just got lucky to get a tee time for 4. Carts were available and I saw a lot of people were walking today. Course is not flat to walk. Hole #1 is hard hole to start with especially with an elevated tee box, driving range on the right and it plays uphill. Like playing here as the course runs through a housing track. Covid-19 golf rules still in effect - can't remove pins, no ball washers, no rakes in bunkers. Looks like you can only share carts if both riders are from same household.

There's a two level driving range here and the putting green was open. The snack bar was open with outdoor dining. This is one of my favorite courses to play.

Played today on 1/18/21 with a mid-morning tee time. POP was just under 4 hours to play 18. It's been a long time since I last played here. Morning tee times are so hard to get to play here. Driving range is open but every other stall is closed for COVID-19 social distancing. It's two level driving range with the top level irons only. Practice putting green was closed due to COVID-19.

This is a challenging course to play. Hole #1 is a challenging hole to start off with an elevated tee. There's a driving range on the right, hill and trees on the left, and about 1/2 way down this hole, the rough on the right slopes down toward the driving range. Not too mention there's an elevated green with bunkers in front. Tough par 5 to start the day. Today was a rather windy day which made it harder to hit into the wind. Course is not flat . Hole #9 is a challenge to play with an elevated green. But we did see a lone coyote near the 9th green. Tee boxes were fairly decent with good coverage. The fairways had very good grass coverage. Though fairways had some thin, yellow and dirt spots here and there. The bunkers were a little thin on some holes and sometimes a little hard packed. But the greens are in excellent shape. They're the best I've seen in the area. Greens were running a little fast but there were running fairly smooth.

Playing here with COVID-19 rules. There's no rakes in the bunkers, you must not touch the flag on the greens, and there's no ball washers near the tees. They removed all water coolers on the course. Bathrooms are open on the course.

There's no GPS in the carts. I believe the snack bar is open for take out orders but we didn't visit so can't comment on the food. Love the layout of this course as it goes through residential areas. We'll be back again if I can get a tee time here.

Played on the last day of year 2020 (12/31) with a tee time around 8 am. POP was around 4 hours to play 18. It was very windy today with wind averaging around 15 mph. With the wind, it was very hard to spot your ball on the fairway with a lot of leaves on the grass. On the greens, there were so much leaves on the greens that no matter how hard you tried to clear a path to the pin that more leaves would fall on the greens.

Course conditions were a lot nicer here than when we played Wilson last week. The only issue I ran into was that they were reseeding the yellow tee boxes. So therefore the yellow tees were near the white tees. I just ended up playing the white tees. The tee boxes had very good coverage with bare spots here and there. The fairways had very good grass coverage where you can have a decent lie to hit off of it. The rough wasn't that deep. The only issue we ran into was being a windy day that there were lots of leaves on the fairways, rough and the greens. The bunkers were a little hard packed and thin. The greens were in great shape and were rolling a little fast. Just had to deal with a lot of leaves and pine needles on the greens.

Love playing here. Some holes on the back nine can get challenging like the 10th hole with an elevated green. I like that there is gps in the carts.

Played on Sunday 12/27 with a tee time around 8 am. POP was around 4 1/4 hours to play 18. Play here is with covid-19 restrictions. No ball washers, no rakes in the bunker, and can't remove the pins when putting.

Haven't been here in awhile. They are doing major refurbishment of the clubhouse and grounds around the clubhouse. Clubhouse is closed. The bathrooms are porta potties. There's a food truck out near the Wilson 1st hole that sells food and beverages.

Course conditions were just awful. It hasn't rained for awhile. The tee boxes were rather thin with a lot of dirt patches. The fairways were thin with a lot of dirt patches, grass was yellow across the fairways on a lot of holes and there were lots of divots here and there. I had so much mud on my ball. Can't comment about the sand as I didn't land in any but it looked wet and thin. The greens were the worse I've ever seen. Greens were fast and very bumpy. Never seen the ball bounce a lot on the greens. Granted this course gets a lot of play. It just not worth the money to play here right now.

Played today with a mid-morning tee time. It took us about 3:45 to play 18. We had to wait to tee off on almost every hole. Playing under COVID-19 rules. No rakes in bunkers, leave pins in holes on greens, no ball washers. Being a Sunday, they made us walk the front 9 and then we can get a cart for the back 9. It cost us $12 to rent a cart for 9 holes. At the turn we had to wait for carts that came off 18th hole. It's really tough to walk the front 9. There's a small hill approaching the 3rd green and there's a elevated green on the 5th hole. At least the weather was overcast and cool today. Saw a couple coyotes on the 8th tee.

I should have checked here before I played to find out that the greens were recently punched. Aeration on the greens were with big holes and a lot of sand. Putting was very slow and bumpy with all the sand on the greens. I say you should wait 2 - 3 weeks before greens are back to normal. Teeing areas had good coverage. There were a couple of teeing holes that are being re-seeded. The 10th tee was currently being re-seeded. The fairways were just in so-so shape. There were decent coverage but there were many thin and yellow areas. Landed in a few bunkers and found that some were a little thin and mostly dirt. Rough tends to be fairly lush.

The driving range was open with physical distancing in effect and face masks required. Haven't been here in a while and they removed the thick mats with the real feel turf mats where it's hard to put your tee in the mat. Face masks are required to enter the golf shop to pay with a credit or debit card. The snack bar was open for take out only. Came here to mostly practice my short game. Love the views of downtown LA from the 15th tee.

Played on Saturday, September 19th with a tee time around 8 am. POP was around 4 hours 10 minutes to play 18. Seemed play was slower on the back 9.

Played on a day with a little bit of smell of smoke from nearby Bobcat fire. Smell got better on the back 9 when there was a little bit of wind. Didn't see a warning that the greens were punched. The punch holes were tiny. Putts seemed to roll a little slow today. With play in the morning, the greens were a little wet too. Got better on the back 9.

Tee boxes were fairly level with good coverage. The fairways were looking just ok. There was good coverage on the fairways. Some parts of the fairway were looking a little thin and brown and some spots were very wet, muddy and soggy. With this being a city course, I recommend that you stay out of the rough as it was very deep and thick. I was only in one bunker today and it was a little on the thin side. It can get hard to get out of the bunkers with no rakes in the bunker. Some local rules during Covid will allow you to drop your ball elsewhere in the bunker if you're in a footprint.

Saw that you can get packaged food and drinks at the turn from the snack bar. Club house is currently closed due to Covid. Putting greens were also closed. Driving range is open with no restrictions for social distancing. You can get riding carts if you have an early tee time before 10 am. I like that there's a display that shows your distance to the green in the carts. Some of the holes can be challenging. It's not a flat course to walk 18. It's very hard to get a tee time for this and other LA city golf courses.

Played today Saturday June 20 with a 7:30 am tee time. POP was around 1 1/2 hours to play 9. Walking only for this course. As we finished, it looked like the golf course was very busy today. You really need to get your tee time ahead of time. We had prepaid our green fees. It's not cheap to play here for an executive course ($26).

Course is not in good shape today. It was rather beat up. I've seen better days and it looks like it's getting neglected. There's still talk about this golf course becoming a future Topgolf location. I saw online that the Topgolf project is currently on hold due to the current economic and Covid-19 situation.

The driving range was open with social distancing in effect. It looked like about half of the spots on the driving range have been removed. If the driving range is full, you have to wait outside the driving range until a spot opens up. There's a 1 hour time limit for the driving range. The balls from the machine were looking a little old. The practice putting green and the bunker practice areas were closed today.

The tee box area was all beat up with a lot of divots. The fairways looked really terrible. There were a lot of bare spots and thin lies on the fairways. You can still play. There were decent coverage on other parts of the fairways. But the greens were in awful shape. There were so many unrepaired ball marks on the greens. Can't comment on the bunkers but when I looked at the sand it was hard packed and wet. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, there were no rakes in the bunkers, no ball washers near the tee boxes, and there were no benches on the course. You cannot remove any of the pins on the greens. There's a filler in the cup so you don't need to reach into the hole to retrieve your ball.

One of the reasons we play here is to practice your short game. There's a couple of par 4s on this course. So you can use all the clubs in your bag. There's water on a few holes on this course. The club house and restaurant was not open today. The golf shop was not open. You check into the golf shop from an outside window. There's no pull rental carts available. I think this will be our last time playing here.
