Golf Course Reviews: California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Utah, Florida, Hawaii!great course, great facility, great service, played white tees, had really enjoyable day and will return soon. layout/tee box choice offers challenge for every level golfer....windy in afternoon!
played course for first time mostly on viewed recommendations from greenskeeper members....was great experience....practice facility, clubhouse, restaurant were all first class...played as a twosome on thursday at noon....under 4 hours no wait fairways were perfect; greens had some ball marks but very nice overall; course layout was very enjoyable and challenging...would highly recommend this track for anyone travelling in central california...will definitely return someday
played early am on a saturday...first trip to course and was very enjoyable layout...tight bermuda fairways...considerable ball mark damage and/or repairs on many greens was detriment to overall conditions which were good...arrived as single at 6:00am and was on course at 6:15 play was steady probably 4 1/2 hrs... i will definitely try to play here again in future
first time playing course...played in modified scramble tournament and was impressed w/ course...tight layout...very good/playable conditions...interesting holes and good test of all clubs in bag....hit it straight and scoring will come fairly easily...will pay for 'errant' shots
played for first time and thought was very interesting and enjoyable layout....definitely needs to be played more than once (or with someone who has course knowledge) to help w/ club selection etc. i would expect that 'local' knowledge would lead to as many as 5-10 shots off 1st time scorecard....course has lots of blind shots (elevated greens, dog legs etc), the greens are for the most part undulating and you will be punished for poor approach decisions and/or shot making...would definitely like to play again w/ 'acquired' knowledge from 1st go round.
COURSE IN GOOD SHAPE.....WEEKEND GREEN FEE $28.50....BY FAR BEST GOLF EXPERIENCE FOR PRICE IN WEST LA....PLAYED AS SINGLE...ARRIVE 6:00....TEE OFF 7:30....FINISH 11:45....BEAUTIFUL!
worth going back.......nice track...hit it straight score low.....short course....good character on most holes.....good time
golf course was in unbelievable shape for heavily played public course...fairways and greens really nice (ball marks were pretty bad...we had to fix more than our 'share' on every green)...thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon round (2:00 start) although 'greenskeeper' shows the twilight rate at 2...it is at 3....not very long course but holes were interesting...keep it in fairway and low scores are available
unbelievable website...was the end of "wow"....drove into parking lot to scorching heat/no shade....bag drop was 'self serve'....no drop off...just bring your clubs up and drop them off....the 'assistants' have never done this job before, had no idea how to greet the customers, offered no help as to where you were supposed to go...etc. the carts were without the advertised gps, the clubhouse was a trailer....you get the picture. if you have visited the website, you were expecting a first class high end golf course operation and it was anything but....the grass range was fair at best....two flags stuck out in middle of unkept lawn w/out any yardage guide....the putting green was very nice and very much like the greens on the course...the course may be some players idea of a good time but playing it for the first time i found it quite unfair in many instances...we played the copper tees and were constantly trying to decide how far it was to a bunker or dogleg off the tee and we were wrong almost every time...the risk reward was very severe and if you missed a shot you were almost always assured of bogey or worse....the rough was very thick and penalized every stray drive (even a few feet off fairway)...the greens were unbelievably nice....except that they were HUGE! a 65' putt was not out of the ordinary on any hole... they were very soft (wet from constant rewatering)...held any good shot very well, and were very fast and very true...some ball marks from shoddy repair jobs but they were the best part of the course....With apologies to STICKMAN we found Darkhorse a major disappointment and won't be back any time soon....there are much nicer places to spend your money...
sorry....just not my favorite place; too crowded; course so-so at best; HINT.....All putts on every green from every angle are straight!
played 625 am sat 4/15.....'early bird' golfers....finished by 1045am...all in foursome walked...no wait on any shot other 'early birders' fast players.. weather great.....course condition great....just early!!! once get past first couple of holes and rationalize you haven't 'warmed' up, the rest is gravy (golfing w/out anyone one in front of you or behind you; nice course w/ nice greens; $28.50 greens fee on a weekend; comraderie great w/ other 'crazy mofo's' who would get up at 500 to play uncrowded golf on great course in middle of LA)..............
played a 'low level/fraternity' tournament here....fairways were nice, layout somewhat challenging w/ all elevation changes...greens and approaches to greens were atrocious....if you play here remember that "every single putt from anywhere doesn't break" and good luck chipping from anwhere just off the greens...the kikuyu grass/or hardpan is brutal.
pretty much everyone eventually succumbed to just putting anything within 5 yards of the green......was ok for the money but 'advertised' rating as one of best in LA County is not close...probably would not ever go back unless it was same sort of "social" event where golf was secondary
