The greens were very simply the best I've ever seen them in the 40 years I've played this course. They were great, not great for Balboa, but just great. The fairways on the other hand were awful! (Thin, clumpy, brown, mud, etc) The traps were also very nice. I guess it's the ecomony, because there was no waiting list, lots of three-somes, etc. Not what I can remember the Sepulveda courses being like. Never the less, it still took 4 1/4 hours to play, but 80+ degress in January, who cares! Eat your heart out Midwest/East Coast golfers!

Played recently and found the greens in the best shape I ever remember. Two new par 5s. number 4 is decent though the 12th green is undulating and fun. Although 12 green is soft and mushy.

The greens seem to be back to normal now after being punched. The course was in pretty good shape for what it is. They have let the ruff grow a little which makes for more of a challenge.

As of saturday,the greens seemed to be pretty well healed.The two new ones run a bit slow but the recent punching seems to have been successful.Tee 'em high n let 'em fly!

Having not played here in quite some time it was nice to see the changes made to a couple of holes. Two par four have been lengthened to par fives making the course par 72. The greens will need some time to mature, but glad to see something done to improve the place.

Not much to add since the last review by kpossibly one month ago. Hey, it's a muni, what can you say? Fairways are "just OK"...rough is pretty deep and like hitting out of lettuce. Greens are quite... Continue »

Not much to add since the last review by kpossibly one month ago. Hey, it's a muni, what can you say? Fairways are "just OK"...rough is pretty deep and like hitting out of lettuce. Greens are quite nice...but slow!! Can a green actually "stimp out" at "zero" ?? Be ready to whack a long putt to get it close to the hole. Just a day of muni-golf...still better than working.

Oh...the "sand-traps"? Like damp, fresh-poured cement. Not a lot of "fluff" to 'em.

Played Wednesday, 9/3/08. 4.0-hour round, well-spaced, fair pace. Walked-on as a threesome at 6:45 AM - we were golfing at 7:00.

Played 8/4 in early morning. Greens are slow but in good shape. Fairways look and had just been cut. Rough was long and kept us honest. Par 5 Hole #3 is under repair...has a decent temp green, but is ... Continue »

Played 8/4 in early morning. Greens are slow but in good shape. Fairways look and had just been cut. Rough was long and kept us honest. Par 5 Hole #3 is under repair...has a decent temp green, but is now a short par 4. It was hot so we rented a cart. Green fees and a $24 cart make this nearly a $50 round at a muni on a Monday. Played 18 in just under 4 hours.

The course was not in good shape. The fairways were pretty mushy and you couldn't bounce a ball onto the green. The greens were pretty bad too. Some were smooth and had some pace and others looked ... Continue »

The course was not in good shape. The fairways were pretty mushy and you couldn't bounce a ball onto the green. The greens were pretty bad too. Some were smooth and had some pace and others looked like a shag carpet. The #3 green was closed. You had to play to the alternate green. Which you had no idea about until you reached the hole. I would rather play Encino than Balboa after this.

Squeezed in 13 after work on the 28th and #3 was playing to the old alternate green on the right.Could be the new green wasn't quite ready for the traffic it received.There were no posted signs, so just notice that there are construction signs and rope about where the old green was.The rest of the course was in really good shape.
