Our group had a 10:30am tee time and we got out 30min later as we followed the last group of a tournament. If we knew what was in store for us I think we would have chosen a different course. Nature was the theme at San Dimas today as staff made attempts to 'shoo' a brown bear off of the 10th tee. Then at 12 we had to take alternate routes to the 13th tee cuz a rattlesnake decided to kick it on the sidewalk between the green and tee box. I actually enjoyed the nature part but 90 degree temps and 6 hrs later I didn't care how I scored as the tournament group really slowed the pace of the round. The marshall was no where to be seen for most of the day. When we did see him to mention the slow play nothing happened as the group ahead of us continued their horrid pace as they fell behind. I recommend you call the course and plan accordingly around any tournaments they host as it seems they don't care for to regulate these groups. A 6hr round is not acceptable for any course!!

I don't want to take today's experience away from the course itself. This course is in great shape. The greens still show the punch marks from recent aeration but they are already running pretty quick and true. I didn't notice any bare spots from tee to green and the sand traps are soft and fluffy. Maybe today's round was an aberration but I definately will play here again.

Played 4/13 and got out on time (at) 12:45 to endure a 5 1/2 round. This was my first time here and paid $50 w/ cart. Nice layout w/a good mix of doglegs and elevated tees/pins. Not a very long course but winds kicked up at about 2:30 onwards and provided a challenge with shot-making and club selection. The course could use some water as fairway lies were very thin and the course was very dry. I'd play here again.

Got out at just after 7am and finished at 10:30am. Awesome pace. Here's why...all the par 3 tee boxes except for #17 are being renovated so you'll be hitting off makeshift tee boxes in the fairways. Greens are still bumpy from recent aeration and putts will not hold their line. Haven't played El Do in a while but still had a good time. Call the course to see when tee box renovations are completed....I forgot to ask.

Got out at about 12:15pm on 8/31and it was a beautiful day for golf in Long Beach. It took our group almost over 5 1/2 hrs to complete the round. We waited at every tee and every fairway and boy was it a test of patience.

Overall, the course was in good shape. Tee boxes, however, were in very bad condition as most had severe divot damage. Fairways had a few brown spots but very playable. The greens were in the best shape as all puts rolled very true but I found them to be a little slow.

Got out at around 10am this morning and it wasn't busy at all. Paid $65 w/ cart(click4teetimes.com) for this round and let me just say that I'm glad I did b/cuz if I paid regular rates I would be really upset. After the 1st 3 holes I wanted to start over.

As much as this course beat me up today I really enjoyed a layout where every hole is different and unique. Saying that Ike is challenging is an understatement but the beauty of the course is always a good distraction. Aside from obvious ball mark scars on a few greens I feel I got my money's worth today. I'll view my 1st round here as a recon mission and hopefully I can bring my game next time I'm here. I'll definately be back!!

Stepped on the 1st tee at about 9:45am and went for a ride that was interesting and challenging for the next 5 1/2 hrs. This course was my first experience with links golf. As much as there is nothing to a links course when viewing it from afar, up close it is a different story. Rustic Canyon provided an adequate challenge from the blue tees especially when the winds started blowing in your face on several tee shots.

The course is in great shape from tee to fairways. The greens are huge(not including the false greens) and have undulations that will challenge you on any putt longer than 15 feet. The challenge today also included bumpy greens and some brown spots, however, they held very well on approach shots.

I certainly will come back to play a course such as this b/cuz its just something different from what I play normally. $60 is a great value playing a course in such good condition. Its well worth the drive into Ventura County.

Got out at 1pm and finished in about 4 1/2 hrs. The round went relatively smooth with hardly a wait on the tee boxes except until the final 4 holes. The heat finally got to the group ahead of us but the pace was still very respectable.

The course itself is crisp. As in, burnt and very dry. The best part of the course was the sand as they were filled and fluffy. If you can get past how brown this course is right now then you will enjoy one of the best values in the city.

Our group got out just after 9am and finished in just under 4hrs. It was a beautiful day for golf in Pasadena. Its been over 3yrs since I played here and the price for a weekend round w/ cart is $70!! $55 if you walk. Not a good value considering there are courses in the Griffith Park area that are much cheaper to play. The good thing here is that the course was green and lush. The fairways were in great shape w/ only a few brown spots. The rough ranged anywhere from 3-5 inches and was inconsistent throughout the course so you don't know what type of lie you get if you find yourself in there. Sand looked soft and fluffy. Greens were fast and putts rolled very true but there seems to be a problem with other types of grass growing on them.

Course #2 is short and straight. You get the uneven lie here and there but most lies will be flat. A couple of fairways were narrow but wide open for the most part. There are a few very short par 4s but club selection is key on these holes. The drink girl was seen on the 1st few holes but disappeared for the rest of our round. Overall, I enjoyed my round here but I feel the price tag on this course is too high. I payed less than half that fee for a round at Harding the other day.

My 1st time playing at Harding was very enjoyable because it only took 4hrs to complete it. We teed off on 8/6 at about 9am and off the course by 1pm. There wasn't a group in front of us until our 4some caught up on Hole #7. Even then the pace was still brisk for LA Muni standards. I guess Wilson is the more popular track, however, I enjoyed Harding. Its not a long course and not very difficult for an intermediate player. For the beginner it will offer you various dog legs, uneven lies, subtle and sever elevation changes, and a coyote kickin it in the shade.

Greens were slow and at times bumpy but all putts rolled true for the most part. There were some bare spots and brown areas on some of the fairways but certainly isn't distracting. The rough was very playable today. Fortunately, I didn't find the sand but from what I saw they seemed to be soft and consistent throughtout the course. Tee boxes were also in great shape.

I would play Harding again and for $29 w/ pull cart its always a great value. However, if I had a choice I would opt for Wilson.

Played 8/5 at 1:15pm and finished in 6hrs. We followed behind a junior golf tournament and boy was it slow. Especially the back 9. The course is in the middle of taking it's summer beating and it showed. Many brown spots throughout the course but playable. The greens are very slow and bumpy right now. The last 4 holes on the back 9 greens were very bumpy w/ many ball marks. Probably because players are usually tired and don't care about proper etiquette near the end of the round.....I don't know.

Take care of the courses you play on people. I know you will play them again. These city courses that offer up great tracks at an amazing value. Walking w/ a pull cart will run you $29 at Rancho. The Par 3 3rd Hole is playing the alternate greens today and that is the only deviation from what is always an enjoyable and challenging round at Rancho Park.

Stepped on San Dimas Canyon this morning at 6:15am and finished in about 4 1/2 hrs. I wished the round didn't finish b/cuz this is the best muni I've played this year. They got new carts w/ GPS delivered on Wed and it really helped since I'm playing here for the 1st time. The course is lush with conditions that rival courses that cost $30-$50 more. Cost was very fair at $62 w/ a cart.

San Dimas is not very long (Blue: 6400yds) but the fairways are narrow and protected by mature trees and water on several holes. Accuracy off the tee is very important to give you a good look and angle to several elevation changing greens. It offers interesting visual presentations that make you question club selections both on the tee and in the fairways. Greens were fast and difficult to read. Its very important to know where the greens relate to the slope of the mountains and adjust your read accordingly b/cuz all putts slope away. Besides being extremely smooth the greens roll true.

I commend the team that runs this course. The pride they take in maintaining it is evident on every hole. Get here early or late because when we got off the 18th green at 10:45am the temperature was already @ 90 degrees.

If there was a golf course found on Mars you'd have The Links at Victoria. It looks promising when driving by it on the 405 but up close its a different story. The powers that be have really done a great job in making sure this track rots. There were bare spots in every fairway....no wait....you would consider yourself lucky if your ball found some grass on the fairway. It became laughable on Hole 11 where the countless divots from 100yds in looked as if a major gopher war took place on it. Greens were slow and soft from obvious overwatering. Being in the bunker was like hitting your ball off the cart path...dry and hard.

It took our group over 5 1/2 hrs to play the round with no marshal to be found. It took us nearly 3hrs to finish the 1st 9!! Hole 6 was backed up 2 groups deep and this is a Par 5!! The course doesn't have any water on it, almost no trees and rough no deeper than 3 inches......why?

If you want to pay $23 to play this course then bring plenty of water/gatorade b/cuz you will not see the refreshment cart on the course. Stock up at the beginning of your round and again when you make the turn. This really is the last time I play here. My clubs are worth more than the abuse it takes on this barren wasteland.
