Played here on 2/15 with rtewfik, Fear, and h8bogeys. The course is still undergoing renovation to the cartpaths and irrigation system, but I knew that going in. The course was not overly crowded and we teed off right on time (if not a few minutes early).

The starter had temporary scorecards which actually showed the holes we would be playing. Hole #3 was closed, Hole #11 used the green to the left and a par 3 was added to the end, utilizing Hole #11's normal green. On hole #2, the tees were pushed pretty far forward so this par 5 played more like a par 4. The construction didn't really affect play much, though we did occasionally have to wait for construction vehicles to move. I actually enjoyed the temporary changes to the course. Normally I don't like ending on a par 3, but I made a 30 footer for a "routine" birdie, so no complaints this time. Plus, this added par 3 at the end has you finish right next to the parking lot instead of a quarter mile away. The alternate green for #11 made the hole a tad short for a par 4 (265 yards) as my drive ended up on the back fringe - definitely wait (as we did) for the green to clear before teeing off on this hole.

Of the 4 L.A. City courses in the San Fernando Valley, this course has the most elevation changes. Got a good workout pushing my Clicgear cart up some of the hills. The greens were okay, though I did experience some mystery breaks right at the cup. The fairways were in better condition than Woodley or Balboa/Encino. I was always hitting off of grass (on those rare occasions when I found myself in the fairway). I only visited one sand trap (hole #4) and there was plenty of dry sand, so I was able to hit a soft shot pretty close to the pin.

Had a fun time, it was great to finally play a round with h8bogeys. I shot my best score at this course and was able lower my handicap by a whopping 0.1 points.

Played here on 2/5/08. Greens were in great shape but a bunch of the tee boxes and a lot of the fairways were in tough shape. Had a great time though.

Played out there on 1/23. Forcast was for rain but the sky was pretty clear.....until I got to the 15th hole. Started raining on the 16th hole and I ended up playing the last 3 holes in the rain. I should do that more often cause I ended up Par, Par, Birdie in the rain. The greens were in awsome condition and they made putting a dream. Finished with only 25 putts thanks to the greens.

Played course on 12/17 at around mid morning. Started at 11:45 and finished at around 3:45. Hole 14 was closed again and we had an extra hole after #18. I played with 2 absolutly hilarious Japanese guys that had me laughing the whole 18 holes. On #11 there is an alternate green to the left and the old green is now the new green for the extra hole after #18. I told both guys that they need to play the green to the left. They both said ok then proceeded to hit it straight for the old green. On their 2nd shot they both took aim and hit at the same time to the old #11 green right into the middle of a foursome that was just walking up to the green to put. After I picked myself off the ground and stopped laughing I told them again that they needed to play the green I was standing in the middle of. They both looked mortified at what they did, left their cart 50 yards out and SPRINTED for their balls shouting out I'M SO SORRY, I'M SO SORRY, I'M SO SORRY!!! Picked up their balls, sprinted back to where they hit from then took aim at me for laughing at them. Despite all of that I found that the course is getting into better shape. BUT............... "Man it still needs a lot of work". God bless us for being able to have opinions!!

Course is still under construction and hole 14 was closed this time. Other then that I still enjoy playing there.

I got to the course late to try and get 9 holes in before dark at the Super Twilight rate. I ended up getting there at 3:45 but got to the starter and got on at 3:55. The course was under major construction. It looked like they were cutting lanes for new concrete cart paths so make sure you hit well off the tee. The fairways were just okay. The greens were nice, at least as nice as I've seen since I'm new to this golf thing. They were really fast and putted pretty true. Had to get used to the speed since I'm not used to them (a couple of 3 putts and even a 4 putt). The fairways are wide which lets you swing pretty easy (although I only hit maybe 2 fairways that day). But I did get in 7 holes in that one hour of daylight that I did have. On my last hole (7), I hit a shot that I prayed was either near the green or in a bunker or else it was lost. Luckily it was a foot away from the green and I was able to chip and 2 putt for a bogey 4. After construction is complete, this should be a pretty good place to play although the fairways need a little work.

To comment on the previous review from "Fear"......you stated that "man does this course need some work".....What do you think all that construction is for? We are getting a new irrigation system put in to replace the severely outdated one we have. Many of you don't realize what a major improvement this will be for the course. Yes of course it is a bit of a pain for the golfers at times, but in response to you saying the trek from #11 to #13 is a "three day camel ride" What are you complaining about? You would still have to make that "camel ride" through #12 if it were open anyway. Considering the amount of work that is happening on that course right now, I think the accommodation to the golfers is great. There are still 18 holes open on any given day and for the people that complain about when that last par 3 is used as #18.....that was the original #18 anyway.

Played here on Tuesday and man does it need some work. They are doing some major construction over here and it is hectic. #11 has a temp green because #12 is closed so they have an extra hole after #18 that uses #11's old green. All I know is that it was a three day camel ride to go from #11 to #13. Tee boxes and fairways were is decent shape. Greens were alright for the most part. Except for the construction and losing a nice par 5 #12 and getting a small par 3 #19?? I had a great time there except for a overzelous marshall. He didn't like me for some reason that I have yet to determin. Hopefully the construction will be over soon and beware the old cranky marshall. Move your cart in the wrong direction and he will be all over you like you are an SSI check.
