Golf Course Reviews
Golf Course Reviews: California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Utah, Florida, Hawaii!I played this course this week after a long absence...it is in terrible condition..fairways in particular..lots of dead grass and bare areas..last time I was there it was lovely....management must be very bad. Newly refurbished coffee shop is really nice with an extensive menu..and helpful staff.
Up until recently this Course was in great condition..now some of the greens are awful..looks like a disease. Also, be aware of Out of Bounds on the 9th, and all around the 18th.

At present (August 2012) the Course is undergoing major work on the tee areas..paid for by the county. At least 3 tees are temporary each week while this is being done. the fees, however, remain unchanged.Unfortunately, players were allowed to use the new tees almost immediately with the result that some are now damaged again with divots and bare spots. The fairways are a mess with the cut grass just left there most of the time. Hopefully when all are finished, the Course will be improved. There is a concern that the yardages will be changed..hopefully not, as that would mean a re-rating by the County.

This course is in excellent condition..many new additions, some by the County(new pathways), some by the combined efforts (and money) of AG and the County, landscaping..and further painting of the clubhouse is planned. I play with a Ladies Club and we can play in 4-4 1/4 hours..if we are not held up by the guys in front of us. When all this work is finished, this will be the best public South Bay Course. The staff are very helpful. There is a marshall and if you call him during play, he will tell the slowpokes to move it! However, he also has to take a lot of flack..so give him a break.
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.
My spouse and I played Avila on July 1st...we played by ourselves and the course was pretty quiet..which was nice. It is a fun course to play because of unconventional layouts and greens...we play the other kind every week! Our round was just over 4 hours.Everything was in good condition and we will definately play there again.
An interesting course with 2 lakes..sometimes hilly for walkers..the employees in the Pro Shop are particularly helpful.
