Played Wednesday 3/13 7:50am tee time. Great short game area so come early and take advantage of that. $35 to walk and $18 for shared cart. We teed off on time 4hours and 20 minutes to finish. There were many wet areas that had standing water/mud/puddles. I guess this course doesn't drain very well. I'm assuming because it's so wet, the maintenance guys can't cut the grass. The fairways were very patchy with many different types of grass and were not cut. I couldn't tell fairways from rough. I don't play Encino/Balboa too often but it seems like this course is less maintained than Encino. Tee boxes, fairways, rough, around the greens, all below average in my opinion. The greens were smooth for the most part. Medium speed. Very hard and bouncy. Overall the course is ok only because it's $35.

Played 8/30 8am tee time. I would give a course rating of give or take 6.5 Tee boxes were mostly flat with good coverage. Fairways had good grass too, only a few thin spots. Rough was hit or miss, some areas were dirt with weeds. Bunkers were inconsistent, some had correct amount of sand and some were very thin. Greens were rolling true but i noticed it was top dressed/sandy. Los Verdes usually has faster greens than this but it was a little on the slow side today.

The driving range, chipping area, putting green, restaurant etc. all were open and operated normally. One sad thing to point out. The amazing view of the ocean from the green on hole 15 is obstructed by nets they put up to prevent people hitting balls off the cliff. Same with tee box of the 16th hole. That's a shame! That was the same view you get if you play Trump National down the road that cost $500

Played yesterday 7:30am tee time. I agree with the last review. Rio Hondo is usually in slightly better conditions you would expect at a typical muni but right now overall conditions are slightly worse. I recently played Lakewood, Navy Destroyer and El Dorado, all in better shape than this course.
Tee boxes were really bad. Half dirt and half patchy grass.
Fairways were very thin, lots of bald patches.
Rough is like the Fairways but slightly worse.
Bunkers were the only nice part of the course.
Greens were a mixed bag. Some were fast, some were slow, some were nice, some had a lot of bare ground/dirt.
Pace of play. Stared at 730am and finish 12pm. 4 and half hours on a Friday. Seems kinda slow for a 730am tee time.

Played this morning. The course is in ok shape right now. Amazing what a little rain does. The greens are slightly on firm side but held shots well, medium speed pretty smooth. Whole lotta unrepaired ball marks tho. Around the fringe and fairways are typical muni, nice mostly with some bare spots. Rough is longer version of the fairway with slightly more bare spots. Tee boxes were heavily used. Lots of dirt patches. Bunkers were ok. Good amount of sand in most of them but no one rakes their footprints.

Played on Saturday 12/10 at 10am for $44 with cart. I haven't been to Scholl canyon in years (so i thought i try it since I couldn't get a tee time anywhere eles). A lot has changed. The driving range has about 35 stalls and looks like about 15 stalls have a launch monitor you can pay to use, a nice upgrade. The golf course is a different story. I remember the greens being the highlight but now it's full of ball marks and bare spots. It putted better than it looked but still not pleasing to the eye. The fairways are how I remembered it, almost non existent, hardpan and very very thin grass. Around the greens were slightly better than the fairway. The rough is a mix of grass and weeds. The tee boxes were really beat up but you expect that since there are all par 3's except the 6 par 4's, but even those tee boxes were chewed up since it so short and a lot of people were hitting irons off the tee. I can't say I can recommend this course and I won't be coming back anytime soon. Also waited on almost every hole. Took 4 hrs and 15mins! Seemed longer!

Played today Wednesday. The chipping area and practice greens are open.
Tee boxes are thin and uneven.
Fairway and rough are a mixture of few different grasses, cut to same height. About 40% nice grass, 40% thin areas and 20% bare ground.
Bunkers have good amount of sand. Thin in some areas but very playable.
Greens are slow, bumpy and spongy but no bare spots, looks green and healthy.

Played Wednesday 1/27 7:50am tee golfnow.com for $54. Course conditions are a mixed bag at the moment. They reduced their rates and I can see the course is getting beat up. A third of the black and blue tees were GUR. The remaining tee boxes look like they need a break too, many divots and bare ground. The fairways are dormant, not pretty but still very playable. The greens are super fast! Fairly smooth for the most part but a lot of ball marks. The rough and the areas around the greens have many bare spots. Not the usual conditions for this course but beats ANY muni by a long shot. I would rather play here than at Whittier Narrows for $50 to ride!

Played on Wed 7/15.

Covid-19. Masks at all times. Driving range is open but not the practice greens. They allow 2 in a cart if living in the same household or family members.

Course conditions. I thought Id just post a quick one since the last review was 9 months ago. If your wondering if any change in condition, there is not. Same old Victoria. More dirt than grass on the fairways and rough. Great greens. Ok tee boxes and bunkers.

Played 6/6 Sat 12pm tee time. It was windy 15mph when we started and got stronger on the back nine. Customer service was great. The course is in good shape overall but definitely starting to dry out. At its current conditions I wouldn't call it pristine. There are some areas that are bare ground but it didn't affect play.
Tee boxes are great. Fairways were nice to hit from, good rollout too. Rough was short, sometimes better lies than the fairways. Greens look bad, looks very thin and some spots are almost bare ground. But putted just fine! with medium speed. Bunkers had good amount of sand.
The layout is amazing. Big lakes and bunkers everywhere. Definitely recommended.

Played on 5/14. Not much to say about the course conditions. Its in amazing shape throughout, lush and green. The greens are perfect. Some courses that have fast greens also have greens that are usually hard and I have trouble stopping the ball. These are receptive but fast. The only minor issue is bunkers are a little inconsistent in the amount of sand it has.

Played on Thursday 1/16.
The all tee boxes have been aierfied and heavily sanded. Few of the tees have closed off areas so the black, blue and white tees are bunched up together. As for the condition of the rest of the course, previous 2 reviews are accurate. Fairways have good coverage with some bare spots. Same goes for the rough. The greens are very receptive and rolling at medium to quick pace. The bunkers are a little thin in my opinion, would like to see a little more sand but still payable.

Played 12/31 new years eve 7am tee time. Writing this review because its been a little while since the last one.
I play here regularly because it's the closest course to me. The conditions right now are the best I've ever seen it.
Tee boxes are ok, some unevenness but you can find a flat spot no problem. Kukuya fairways are above average. Excellent coverage and very green, almost no bare spots. Rough is a bit spotty, some bare ground, typical muni rough. All the traps have good amount of sand in it, some have a little too much sand in my opinion but I will take that over hardpan. The greens are awesome right now and pretty quick too. 9 to 9.5 on stimp I would guess. No bare spots to speak of, smooth for the most part except the many unrepaired ball marks. Definitely recommend playing right now.
P.S. I would rate the course overall 6.8/10, eventhough my rating came out to 7.2
