great greans, everything else was poor- including the slopped tee boxes, bare fariways, lack of rough and hard sand traps.

Played 12/30. The greens were possibly the best I've ever seen them at Encino. The rest of course is in the worst shape I've seen since I started playing there about 8 years ago. Almost no grass on the fairways. Almost every shot is like hitting off hardpan. Great, if you want to have a lot of practice making sure you strike the ball first. The tee boxes are also pathetic. So is the sand. At $22 to walk, the golf course is a questionable value. There is absolutely no excuse for the city letting the course degrade into this type of condition. I know it's winter, but this was sad.

the greens at encino are great, wickedly fast at some points, must be below the hole to score today. The rain did do some damage to the course, some trees were torn down and the bunkers are mini wate... Continue »

the greens at encino are great, wickedly fast at some points, must be below the hole to score today. The rain did do some damage to the course, some trees were torn down and the bunkers are mini water hazards. The pace of play, about 5 hours was good for the weekend. There is also a 90 degree cart rule in effect due to all the rain. But unfortunately, the fairways are dry and thin, and the tee boxes are typical for the city, sloped, bare and just a pity. Encino is a great layout, but only if the course was as good as their greens.

What can you expect? It's winter golf!

Horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just horrible. Sure the greens are fine, but PACE OF PLAY is snail-like. 3 hrs for a front nine on a weekday morning is ridiculous. Add to this concrete fairways, boogery tee boxes, and rock piled sandtraps. Forget about it!

Walk on at about 1.15pm and was surprised to be able to go out as a single straight away. Greens were great. Very fast. A little bumpy but great for a city course. The rest of the course conditions are ok. Encino is a nice course for all golfers alike.

Encino is in good condition now. The pace of play is exellent.

Played this morning as a single... first off in the rabbit group. Great foursome, nice guys. About 4 hrs, we weren't rushing too much. Foggy, and hard to find the pins (or greens for that matter!) for the first 3 holes, and then a beautiful sunrise, and perfect weather.

The greens were really wet from dew, so very slow until the end of the round. Tees were pretty good (I was playing blues), greens were pretty good for Encino, some fairways were dry in spots, rough was pretty variable from hard pan to thick and long, and the bunkers were recently groomed, so the dirt wasn't packed down like it can be.

Overall, a nice round for Encino.

The greens are as good they have ever been, and will ever be. Not great, but for this place - fantastic. Pace of play, 4 1/2 hours. The fairways have many bare spots. Hard to tell where the fairwa... Continue »

The greens are as good they have ever been, and will ever be. Not great, but for this place - fantastic. Pace of play, 4 1/2 hours. The fairways have many bare spots. Hard to tell where the fairways meet the rough. It all looks pretty much the same.
