Played Saturday morning, 10/17/15, with my monthly club. Only 10 days out of aeration and greens are soft, hairy, and bumpy. Easy to be aggressive with putts and chips. Tees were ok, although par 3s very torn up. Fairways are kikuyu and were firm and thin, although the kikuyu helps the ball sit up. Rough generally cut down and easy to play from, but in places is lush or clumpy. Sand wet and hard packed everywhere. Many areas around greens and between holes were very wet and rutted from carts/equipment. No cart girl or divot mix refills. Course crowded, AGC pumps out the fivesomes, and POP was slow, with big backups on #8 (#1 hcp) and #16 (wacky 120-degree dogleg par 5).

I have not played here in over three years, not because I don't like the course, but rather because of the brutally slow play typical to this course. I was able to secure an early time so we were able to finish in 4hours, 8 min, Not too bad, not great, but OK.

There were a number of greens which have large bare areas. Maybe the upcoming punching will address this issue. The course was in decent shape, some thin areas in the fairways and more so in the rough. About what you might expect, but if memory serves me, I don't recall so many areas on concern.

Enjoy playing here if only to feed my ego, so I can post a lower number and make a few birdies. (However today, not a birdie to be found!) Pace was OK, weather was pleasant, and it just felt like a stroll in the park.

Was concerned with the last post re POP but played this AM in a pace of 3.5. So it would appear time of scheduled play may be more the issue? Found the course to be in good shape given the water restr... Continue »

Was concerned with the last post re POP but played this AM in a pace of 3.5. So it would appear time of scheduled play may be more the issue? Found the course to be in good shape given the water restrictions in force. Tee boxes clean and tee receptive. Fairways (though some brown spots evident) provided good lies and roll out all morning. No bunker issues and heard none from anyone else. Rough was not a factor though it is evident the farther off the fairway one gets. Greens held shots, chipped well and putted well all morning (no inconsistencies). Customer service was excellent at all levels. I would not hesitate to go back but would be selective in my tee time.

Play Saturday weekends at least 2 times a month at La Mirada, the course condition is pretty much good standard public course, but our experienced with getting an on time t time (at least on Saturdays) has been going down hill. T times starts used to be pretty much on time or delayed by a few minutes, but in the last few months, delays of at least 30 minutes seems be normal for this course, and every time we mentioned this to the starter, the response was that it depends on how the people at the pro-shop set it up. Well I can say that ever since they change the people at the pro shop that was when t times delays started, which kind of tells me something is not right here.

This is the second time in 2 weeks that I have payed here. I was playing in a 2 day event and the pins were placed in tight and difficult locations. The greens were fast as well. The course is a control course with some very interesting shots. To play well here you should be able to bend the all both ways or be very confident in your stock shot. The fairways are well covered and have lots of slopes and side hill lies. The greens are small and angled.
The taps were firm but good with occasional thin spots. They do have my pet peeve which is sand raked up the sides. This results in soft sides and firm or had bottoms. I wish more greens keeps would pay attention and fix this.

The greens need to be viticulture and thinned out so that they can be rolled and firmed up. Today they were very fast with pins tucked in slopes and tight locations. With the softness of the greens this resulted in bumpy greens. I had several putts which I needed to feather down the hill to the hole but I couldn't keep on line due to the bumps.

While I hate the pace of play most days and the lack of ability to get out on time, this is really a good course and a fun test of shotmaking and control.

Had an early AM engagement in La Habra and headed over to La Mirada right after. Was out on the course in 15 minutes and even got around in 4 hours. Course is drying out fast. And after the recent drought edicts, I can only imagine what we will be facing in S CA until it rains again? Course was in nice shape from tee to green. The greens looked slow but were surprisingly fast when chipping and putting on. They said they were aerating 3/30 - 3/31 but only saw what looked like verticut (very slight) and no sign of a full aeration (check with the course). Excellent customer service all around.

Played this morning in 3:15. There is a new GM (John) and he and his staff were making every effort to be organized and getting everyone out on time (it worked today). They even had a marshal out in the 1st fairway with a large light, finding balls for the early players to keep things moving (eliminate glow balls hand out lights). Course was in good condition from tee to green (greens not punched yet). Some of the tee boxes needed some attention, or at least the markers need to be moved around. Fairways were nice and provided good lies and roll. No issues by anyone regarding the sand traps. Rough (what little there was) was high enough to cause trouble (especially early as it was wet). Greens were in nice shape, void of divots and putting/chipping nicely. Always enjoy this course and today was no exception.

Played in a tournament here on 2/22/15. The course was in good shape. The greens were really good, but rolled slower than they looked. Tee boxes and fairways were in pretty good shape. Bunkers had thin sand in it, not bad, just thin. POP was not bad for a tournament.

OMG! It's been almost four years since I last played this course. I quit playing there because of the clientele and POP. It has not changed. I could only play the front nine and it took three hours! I teed off at 10:20 and didn't putt out until 1:20. UNACCEPTABLE! LA County needs to do something about POP. It's not all about money!
