Teed off 6:20am Tuesday. The course is in overall good condition. The greens rolled good (if you can get past the many ball marks). They held shots and rolled med/fast speed. The fairways, rough and bunkers are in good shape. The tee boxes are fair to good due to minor unlevel spots. The course is flat with a nice variety of hole lengths. The fairways are lined by large mature trees with a few tee shots being on the tight side. Water comes into play only several holes. Staff was friendly.

Played today as the second group out. Pace was great except for first 2 holes since it was played in the dark. Tee boxes were nice level a little too fluffy for my taste. Not a lot of divots since the... Continue »

Played today as the second group out. Pace was great except for first 2 holes since it was played in the dark. Tee boxes were nice level a little too fluffy for my taste. Not a lot of divots since they moved the tee boxes from the weekend.Fairways were lush and always had a good lie from there.Rough was not too thick but the grass does catch the club sometimes.Bunkers were soft in the 2 I was in. It was easy to get out of and was able to put spin on it.
Greens were tore up in a lot if spots. This is not the fault of the course but from the lazy people that played over the weekend. I was fixing about 6 divots for every green and in some there were gashes. I cant believe the way some people treat golf courses. Had a fun round other than that.

Yes, El Do is still in very good condition. I put my name on the waiting list Friday at sunrise and was on the 1st tee by 6:30, PoP was around 4:15 today with a bit of waiting on the par 3's. Greens are still cut low and some are very quick (my guess would be about an 11), especially downhill putts which can get away real easy. Also, many poorly repaired ball marks were present ... that's Poa when it's short. But they were soft and would hold any decently struck approach ... really nice to chip and putt on. Fairways and bunkers in good condition overall, and the semi-lush rough was a bit deep in many areas that wasn't Kikuyu. I helped the 3 super seniors I played with look for a few missed iron shots and it was a chore to find some of them. Would play here every week with conditions like these, $40 walking non/res.

Played on a Thursday afternoon. Twilight rates start at 2pm for Long Beach residents, 3pm for non-residents. Green seemed to be very hard, especially on the front side, with many ball marks. Perhaps they were really shaved down for the Long Beach Open a few weeks ago? They played at a medium speed, and rolled fairly true if you were lucky to not have ball marks in the way. Tee boxes and fairways were in good condition. The sand in the bunkers was good too, if a little coarse, and the lips can be intimidatingly high. There were a decent amount of people out there, but we were never pushed. We only waited on the first couple of holes, and the group behind us didn't wait on us until the par-3 17th. Some of the rough was very lush, we would drive past our balls a couple of times before finally spotting them. The drink cart gal was going around a lot, she passed by us at least four times. Service in the pro shop was very pleasant. I'm playing in a tournament next month, will be glad to head back.

Out early Friday morning with fellow GK'er BuckeyeNut, $40 to walk. PoP a leisurely 4:20 with some waiting on the par 3's. A week after the LB Open and the course is in great shape, tee to green ... and the greens were cut ...the best Poa I've played on in a quite a while ... like Velcro. Nothing to complain about here, a muni that makes you hit it straight off the tee or you're scramblin'. Recommended.

Played on 07/20/13. Course is in great shape and ready for the Long Beach Open. My group and I play El Do, Rec and Skylinks every Saturday depending on where we can get the earliest tee time. In my opinion, El Do is in the best shape of all of them at the moment.

El Do is prime for the LB Open next week. The Poa greens are going to be fast for sure. They can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, but I am sure it'll be a great event nonetheless.

Waited 20 min to get on after putting my name on the list and PoP was slow for7am at 4:40, $40 walking. Crews were out planting sod fixing up the course, bunkers were the best I've seen, rough still patchy, and fairways nice and full with only a few bare spots. No grass driving range until after the Open.

Course is in good shape as they get ready for the Long Beach Open. Greens are fast and smooth. Fairways in pretty good shape. Pace of play on weekends is an issue. This is the second time I played here and both times we got out 1/2 hour late and the round lasted about 6 hours.

As much as I like to spread the news of good golf course conditions, I would also like to keep this one on the down low. Walked on early Friday ($40) and finished in 4 hrs. El Do is at its best, simply stated. Grass range is opened Fri-Sun. Think I'll play here every Friday until the end of summer.
