This used to be a championship golf course…hosted a senior event and the LA Open. and was a wonderful and tough challenge to play. Played there twice recently and it is a disaster. They did a renovation and redesign and the condition of the course is awful. And the design changes by the Straka firm are out of character of the course and silly, creating difficulty without interest while failing to address issues that could have been resolved. They elevated greens which were designed to allow the ball to be bumped/rolled (for example #1), placed bunkers in strange places in the middle of the fairways (for example #6 and #18), and created ridiculously difficult shots (the 220yd #3 with a giant water hazard into which balls roll from the green). They have taken an exciting championship caliber course and turned it into a mediocre course in poor public course condition. The corporate owners seem to have little understanding of golf. I will say the one saving grace is the putting surfaces, which are excellent, and which I understand were not touched in the renovation.
