The course is in good condition considering it is a public course. The greens are pretty slow and they aren't "true". Fairways were in pretty good condition. Greens need to be mowed better. Maybe then the putts wouldn't be so slow.

For a public course that gets the kind of abuse from players that don't take care of it, the course plays very well. Greens are in very nice shape and fairways are good to very good. Playing time in... Continue »

For a public course that gets the kind of abuse from players that don't take care of it, the course plays very well. Greens are in very nice shape and fairways are good to very good. Playing time in early morning good, under 4 hours.

June 11th. The greens were rockin! I was impressed with how they have brought the greens back from the winter. The fairways were slow for some reason, could have been the weather from the last few weeks.

Had a good time, pace was decent. Can't beat the twilight rate for a course like this. $12.50 and we got in 15 holes.

June 2nd. Another enjoyable round. Particularly the pair of underwear hanging from a tree as you walk off the 6th green. A testament to the L.A. City's course maintenance. P.S. could somebody mow ... Continue »

June 2nd. Another enjoyable round. Particularly the pair of underwear hanging from a tree as you walk off the 6th green. A testament to the L.A. City's course maintenance. P.S. could somebody mow those greens more than once a week?

Played the course last weekend and it is a superb course for long-hitters. The fairways are wide and greens are smooth and properly maintained. We started at 0630H and we were done in 4.5 hours.

It is a "forgiving" course and I am looking forward playing it again one of these weekends.

Played Encino today (6/1) and had a 4.5 hour round (walking) which is not bad for a Sunday. Greens are smooth and soft and the best that I've seen them. Fairways are lush with some divot damage and so... Continue »

Played Encino today (6/1) and had a 4.5 hour round (walking) which is not bad for a Sunday. Greens are smooth and soft and the best that I've seen them. Fairways are lush with some divot damage and some thin spots. Tee boxes in fairly good shape. Pace of play was great for a municipal course.

I've played Encino numerous times and today (5/29) was one of the best as for the conditions, except the greens were firm, bumpy and slow. The tough pin positions did not help my play (Couple pins tuc... Continue »

I've played Encino numerous times and today (5/29) was one of the best as for the conditions, except the greens were firm, bumpy and slow. The tough pin positions did not help my play (Couple pins tucked in the extreme rear of the green) with the molasses-like greens. Tee boxes are a little uneven, but what do you expect for a muni course played non-stop. The fairways have light aereation, no plugs, but they were rolling good on long drives. The rough was being mowed all over the course, so it was pretty clean.
Great muni course, really get to use your driver off the tee and the longer 4 pars, challenge your long game.
I think it's better than the Balboa and Woodley courses.

Played here 5/11. Teed off at 9:30 and played in four-and-a-quarter hours; after waiting for three groups at #3, the course opened up and we never waited again. Course is in pretty good shape, fairw... Continue »

Played here 5/11. Teed off at 9:30 and played in four-and-a-quarter hours; after waiting for three groups at #3, the course opened up and we never waited again. Course is in pretty good shape, fairways are spotty but very firm. Greens, while generally smooth, are VERY soft and rather slow -- I hit one shot that simply plugged in its own pitch-mark! There's not much trouble to get in here, but the rough is wickedly inconsistent and can be quite penal because you can easily draw a very tough lie. Thank goodness for generous fairways. Fun course to tune up your long game.

Played Friday, 3/22. Teed off around 12:55. Course played in about five hours. Greens were smooth, but a little shaggy. Definitely slow. Some greens held pretty well, but most were pretty firm. Third hole required you to hit 10-20 yards in front of green in order to keep your ball on the green. Most fairways were green and fairly plush, but almost all contained some areas that were thin or had little grass. All in all, not a bad golfing experience for the price.
