Course is in good shape....lots of unrepaired ball marks, but that goes for all la city courses. played sunday afternoon twilight...started at 2:20 and finished in 4 hours! That was unexpected. The only thing ruined the round was when we returned our carts and ran into the angry cart washer guy. Our partners apparently didn't park their cart in the right spot and was yelled at by the cart guy. Excuse me, "yelled" is an understatement...i believe he was screaming at the guys and threatening them, saying "do i have to club you over the head?". This really caught us all off guard. I mean, who expects that kind of reaction from a guy that works at the course. Completely inappropriate. That guy needs to be fired.

Played this morning early in a threesome. Friendly staff is always a plus. As for the course, the typical conditions,brown fairways, a few unfixed ball marks. The greens are rolling nice! They were pretty fast, I think they had just mowed and rolled them. Pretty consistent from green to green, all except 16th green (that green was little slower than the rest). Overall, a wonderful experience. Teed off (at) 6:30 and walked off the 18th green at 9:45. We played as a threesome and didn't see anyone all morning until the back 9. Still the two walkers and one rider kept up the pace. Playing during the week is always a treat!

Played 4/28 in a tournament. Slow, slow, slow. But the course is in great shape. The sand is a little hard, but the greens have healed nicely from the aeration. Nice course with GPS.

Played on 4/14, three of us walked on and waited almost 2 hours. Which makes sense i guess since there were three of us. The course is in great shape. The fairways were a little thin, but the tee boxes were just fine, with a few exceptions. The greens are always nice. Some are harder than others, but overall there were rolling smooth and relatively fast. Always fun to play here. The yardage, water hazards, and the greens make this course a nice challenge. I will come back after i get bored with all the other courses around here.
