Fine muni course; good practice course. While you won't lose many balls, you still must strike the ball. Greens can be slow when compared to a cc course.

Played Encino on 4/21. The greens on the back 9 were in much better shape than those on the front, mainly because they were aerated earlier. The rough was a mess (as always), but all in all the course was pretty nice and the fairways were in very good condition. This is a forgiving, flat, and long course if you haven't played it before.

Being a city golfer, I was pleased with a few aspects of Encino golf course. The greens are in much better such, in regards to the speed, which has lately been quicker than normal, and the roll has been pretty smooth. I played on 3/2 and the greenskeeper must have wanted revenge on the players, tee boxes were in the back and the pins were tucked, it made the course play totally different and somewhat challenging. My only negative comment is that the greens were recently painted with what i think was fertilizer and this makes your golf ball green, and it makes the greens, greener than the ones you see on tv. Besides that, a typical round in the city, you get what you pay for, and what you get is an enjoyable round in the city.

Grees are very bumpy. This seems to be true of most of the LA municiples. Marshalls are no existent. Many slow groups are not be managed.

Played on 2-18. Pace was very good. Greens in good shape, a little bumpy, but it has also rained the night before. The fairways are pretty beat up. Many bare or muddy spots. They really need to add a litte grass to the fairways.

Played on Feb. 5th and the course was in decent shape, but the pace on play was a little slow as to be expected for playing before the superbowl. My only major complaint would be that on the greens t... Continue »

Played on Feb. 5th and the course was in decent shape, but the pace on play was a little slow as to be expected for playing before the superbowl. My only major complaint would be that on the greens the bowl seemed to bounce more than roll, but that has become normal if you are playing any muni. course in the LA area.

Course is in much the same shape as I reported a few months back. Getting out early is a must for a 4 1/2 hour round. If you get out after 8:30-9:00 AM watch out...you could be in for a long day!

Greens are in surprisingly good shape for a course that gets played this much.

I agree with jaui, Encino is in pretty good shape. As he mentioned, some of the tee boxes are moved due to aeration, but overall Encino isn't too bad. Now if they could just do something about the S... Continue »

I agree with jaui, Encino is in pretty good shape. As he mentioned, some of the tee boxes are moved due to aeration, but overall Encino isn't too bad. Now if they could just do something about the Sunday afternoon 5 1/2 hour rounds. Green aeration starts this week, after that it should be in great condition.

Greens are in great shape, but aeration is coming in a couple of weeks. Many tee boxes are being aerated or worked on. Fairways are in great shape. Overall this course is in the best condition it's... Continue »

Greens are in great shape, but aeration is coming in a couple of weeks. Many tee boxes are being aerated or worked on. Fairways are in great shape. Overall this course is in the best condition it's been in all year.
