greens are so slow it is ridiculous, you have to dunk the ball into the hole just to make a simple put. besides that, the course is starting to green up and the rough is very long in some places.

This is one of the better muni courses I've played. Pace of play wasn't too bad for a weekend. Everything kept moving and marshals were monitoring well. Wide open fairways. Good course for the price.

I have played this course about 75 times since moving to California 30+ years ago. I have NEVER seen the fairways in such horrible condition. If you play the ball "down", it seems to find it's way between two tuffs of weed, which makes it very tough to get your club on the ball. The greens while slow were good. Somebody should determine why Encino/Balboa condition is so inferior to the other city courses?

Played 3/14 at 8 am. Played first hole in the fog but after #2 it all sun and 80 degrees for the rest of the day. Greens were very nice and smooth. Not to soft and held well. Fairways were typical... Continue »

Played 3/14 at 8 am. Played first hole in the fog but after #2 it all sun and 80 degrees for the rest of the day. Greens were very nice and smooth. Not to soft and held well. Fairways were typical, more than your fair share of bare areas and some mud balls but I've seen worse. Overall all, a pleasant Sunday with good friends.

Yep, below is still true, but after another round of rain, the course is pretty mushy. Starting to green up nice though. The greens were quite good... well, once we got to the ones that they'd mowed. ... Continue »

Yep, below is still true, but after another round of rain, the course is pretty mushy. Starting to green up nice though. The greens were quite good... well, once we got to the ones that they'd mowed. Nice and smooth. I saw some water still in a few of the bunkers.

Fairways are hit and miss, but that's usually true here.

Encino is in typical winter condition. The fairways are dormant but are starting to come alive. The sand traps could use more sand; one of them had practically no sand. The course appears to have surv... Continue »

Encino is in typical winter condition. The fairways are dormant but are starting to come alive. The sand traps could use more sand; one of them had practically no sand. The course appears to have survived the recent heavy rain without any problem.

The fairways were tragic. It would be nice to hit from a decent lie after a nice tee shot. You tend to come up the fairway praying for some grass under your ball.

Service and people are nice, for the money worth the time. Nice and wide fairways pretty easy Par-5's. Another words a great course to build up confedence.
