Played on Sunday December 2nd, 7:36 tee time.
It was quite chilly in the morning due to a winter storm that had passed through 48 hours before. There was frost on the course but not severe enough for tee times to be delayed. With the rain from the day before there were some soggy patches in a few fairways, I'd give the fairways about a 6 out of 10. The greens were in excellent shape (compared to many of the other times I've played here) rolling true and picking up speed as the morning went on.
Pace was really good due to the early tee time. The group in front of us were about a half hole pace ahead of us and the group behind was nowhere to be seen after the par 5 5th.
Please keep in mind that they are still in the process of converting the third hole into a par 5...it's currently playing with a temp green at 127 yards. It's coming along slowly but I think that it will be one of the nicest par 5s in the city once it's finished. The green will be well protected with overhanging trees upon the approach and two greenside bunkers - one front right and one left of the green. They also have extended the par 4 12th to a par 5. The old green is still in place and the yardage marking are to the old green, so be careful upon approaching this green. With the shortened hole 3 (par 3) and lengthened hole 12 (par 5) your scorecard will balance at the end of the day.
In the end, it was a nice round. Chilly at the beginning but warming sooner than expected.

I was hoping that the two news holes would be open, but as it turned out, only #12 was open. This is a real positive change to this course as the old #12, (451yd par 4) was inconsistant with the natur... Continue »

I was hoping that the two news holes would be open, but as it turned out, only #12 was open. This is a real positive change to this course as the old #12, (451yd par 4) was inconsistant with the nature of the holes on this course. The par 5 makes it a much more enjoyable and playable hole. The 3rd hole looks like it's also going to be a big improvement. Don't know when it will open. (Don't understand why they are playing #3 with a temp green, why not just use the old green? Course was a bit rough, greens still recovering from the recent punching, but not too bad. In many ways this course when completed will be more fun than Encino.

Just OK, greens slooooow!

In a word "CRAPTACULAR". Don't waste your money. The course is in terrible condition. And to make matters worse, there was a tourny going on. There was a foursome more than a hole behind, yet playing as a single the chump marshall hassles me because I'm hitting two balls. There was no one for three holes behind me, and I'm up the *ss of the group in front of me, but yet I'm the problem. Get real!!!!

The course was nice. I'm a beginner so the course is not too tough and i was able to get two pars out of it. It was my first Eighteen holes and I scored a 45 on the front and a 44 on the back. I love ... Continue »

green were aerated on 6/25, so I still felt the bumminess from that process. Also the greens were real moist and soft due to the heat now. But putts stay pretty true.

walked mid-day 6/16...hot...surprised how good the greens looked; though slow they ran true. Fairways mostly clean. Course in good shape.

Father's day in SD. Went out as a 3-some. Course is in OK shape. Greens are relatively flat (some bumps) and a little receptive to aggressive shots but for the most part roll off green if you hit towards the front. Rough around green is fairly thick and sticky. Fairways however are burnt out and brown. Not happy especially if you hit a nice tee shot only to find yourself on some kind of hard pan. Not great just typical muni. Around the greens different story it's lush with med/fast greens and sticky rough. Course knowledge is key. If I had known what I know now I would have used irons only on the first 5 holes. Oh well live and learn I suppose. Course played fast for me on a Sunday and being an Angeleno I heard the complaints that play was slow for a Sunday which is suprising for me. I guess it's nice to be a little spoiled.

Played for the first time on Friday. Staff was good and quickly replaced a dead golf cart. The layout is pretty basic. Its a short course with some longer par 3s. None of the holes really stick out. I hear that Encino is longer and pretty much the same. While there is nothing really wrong with the course, I'd rather play other LA city courses then this one if I had the choice.
