Played on the 17th, all fairways are dry and have been cut they look good. Has the norm greens a little beat up, they rolled good but not enough players are fixing there ball marks. And yes the round was a little "slow". This starts on the first tee, 3 quarters of the time there is a starter or marshall on that tee, and he should be moving the players up to the whites and off the blues and you know which ones there are, the same ones waiting in the fairway to hit a second shot thats farther than the tee ball they just hit. the marshalls have to be empowered to do this.

played ED on mar 1. Still flooded in parts from all the rain. I'd give this course a couple more weeks to dry out. They are still unable to mow several fairways, and the rough is a nightmare. If y... Continue »

I like El Dorado, but be warned. On a Sunday afternoon they sent out way too many groups. My group ended up skipping 2 & 3. Slow but steady progress 4 to 8. Parking lot on 9, jump back to 2 and run through to 9. For last on a Sunday it wasn't too bad. The course wasn't too wet. Maybe 3 of the front had a patch were you needed to be careful of the muck.

This is one of the many fun courses in long beach to play. Design like Skylinks with easier greens to speed up play. Any weekday player is rewarded with quick pace of play for a good price.

timblume's got it right. ED does not drain at all, especially after the rains of early January. Unless you can handle playing in lots of casual water and uncut fairways/rough, give it a month to dry... Continue »

timblume's got it right. ED does not drain at all, especially after the rains of early January. Unless you can handle playing in lots of casual water and uncut fairways/rough, give it a month to dry out. Otherwise, ED is a fun muni track with trees and water to keep you in line.

Played yesterday morning at 8am. There were three of us, and of course, they put a twosome with us. For those of you who aren't familiar with Long Beach golf protocol and parlance, we locals call that a "Long Beach Foursome". In Long Beach, they don't believe in foursomes; they'll put 5 in every group no matter what. I'm surprised they haven't implemented sixsomes. Rounds here already last 5 and a half hours and sometimes more, so what would be the harm in adding another player? Sarcasm aside, the course was a moat. The fairway was indestinguishable from the rough; 3 inches or more in all parts of the course. The rough was even higher and thicker in parts, which made finding balls virtually impossible, even in the middle of the fairway. The bunkers, as typical of Long Beach courses, had virtually no sand in them. The one saving grace were the greens. They were in fenomenal shape. They rolled as pure as any greens I've seen. This is clearly due to the fact that nobody's been playing on them the last three weeks because of the rains. Rest assured, the greens will look tired and overplayed in a few weeks. It's too bad the American Golf "powers that be" aren't smart enough to close a golf course if the fairways are in such bad shape, that the groundscrew has to use chalk to show you were the fairway outline is. Just keep the course closed until it's decent to play. I know that the greens fees are cheap, but the course could have used this dry weather week to rest and be beautified by the groundscrew, not sloshed around on by hundreds of people. If yall want to see some good greens, get out here quick before they're gone!

With the rain we've been having...this course will be a lake for a while. It has severe drainage problems, even after they put a bunch of money to try and fix it. Avoid playing probably until February... as long as the rain eases off here within the next few weeks. It will need a month to dry out.
