Took a chance walking on out here today. Needless to say on a beautiful day like today, it was packed wall to wall with fivesomes and slow play. I waited about 45 minutes to get called from the wait list as a single and teed off a little after 12:30. We waited on every shot and it was just backed up every hole. Brutal. Our group was the last to finish in the dark at 6:15. At least we finished.

The course is OK shape. I thought the greens were nice for the most part. Pretty firm and fast and naturally got bumpier later in the evening, but not bad for the traffic this place gets. Plenty of unrepaired marks, but not the worst I've seen. Fairways very firm, thin and patchy, typical muni conditions this time of year, but again not the worst I've seen this season. Rough was generally better to hit from than thin fairways lies. I wasn't in a bunker, but the sand actually looked decent from the few I checked out. Tee boxes were actually pretty nice. Pretty level despite the hilly terrain here and some of the nicer green grass growth on the course. They were very firm, though, and you had to work to get the tee in the ground sometimes, but overall one of the pleasant surprises here.

This is a fun layout. Very few flat lies on the course and though it tops out at just over 6000 yards from the blues, it plays longer than the total yardage would suggest because of 6 par-3s and a couple of short par-5s. With all the extra roll-out we were getting on the thin fairways, though, it played a little shorter with today's conditions. Small greens that are hard to hold. Some holes have slopes that funnel to the middle of fairways. Others have sideslopes that will easily send your ball off in an undesirable direction, even on good center-cut shots in a few awkward places. A number of somewhat blind shots and a mix of uphill, downhill and flat approach views. A few really funky holes like 16 and definitely not a course everyone would enjoy, but I liked the layout enough overall and the LA County price ($40 with cart) is reasonable. Unfortunately the slow play is such a deterrent, but it is what you'd generally expect on a Friday afternoon around these parts.

Had an early morning tee time on Sunday 11/18. POP was four and a half hours with play moving at a steady pace. Course was very wet due to some rain over night. Fairways were muddy and ball had no travel when it landed. Greens were very soft and are still healing. The greens are lush but still bumpy and slow, greens should be ready in about 7-10 days. Do not understand why people do not fix divots in the fairway.

Does not Am Golf realize that early morning groups fly around course at full rate?

finished front in 1.5hrs- they were STILL sending groups off the BACK 9!!

we had to force our way in between back 9er's teeing off instead of waiting for sheet to " clear itself". Of course wound up waiting on every shot. Done in a little over 4, which should have been 3:20 tops as reward for gettin there @ 5am.

WHAT A LOUSY WAY TO RUN A GOLF COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like lakers & TV Contract- they will still get play no matter how much they shaft the golfers. And AGC wants to run city of LA courses?

Am heading outbound more for Sat/Sun am, avoiding AGC courses like Jack Benny avoids a dinner check.

Have always loved the varied layout of the course...however today was one of my worst experiences.....6 hour round ...followed a Match Play tournament and the greens were
HORRIBLE....slow, diseased and many unrepaired ball marks. I have never seen the greens in this shape of the many times I played here. I do not think I will play here for awhile. I do not think even aerating the greens will help the greens at this point and I will definitely never follow a tournament group. I wish I was notified of this when I made my tee time.

There are enjoyable and fun short 4 holes. The green is almost flat every hole. Price is reasonable. It's really good to swingers who has short-distance but accurate direction.

There are a number of things about this course that I really ejoy. The holes are very different, one from the other, the elevation changes, good mix of easy holes and "strong" holes. However the one constant that I really hate is the horrible pace of play here. Almost always tee off late and them it takes well over 5 hours to play this short course.

I know that sending 5 somes off in every group doesn't help, but there is no trouble on this course, no forced carries, no water to speak of, no bushes, wide fairways, easy greens, etc.

Fun little golf course, not expensive, but the time it takes to get around is a large factor in my decision to play here so infrequently.

played 5/30/12 on an internet deal on golfzing, it is a fun challenging course, the greens were firm and had good speed to them. The fairways are tight on many holes but the grass is good on the tee boxes, fairways, and greens. The wind was up today with made the course more tricky. Me and my wife got done in 4hours.

Got out at 11:45 today and finished in a hair over 5 hours. Greens were in pretty good shape although they were running a bit slower than what I'm used to. Fairways were fine for the most part if you can find them as they are quite narrow. Rough is mostly non-existent except for the nice lush patches under a few trees where they feed it with the souls of lost golfers. Sand.... um yeah if you want to call it that fine by me, but avoid the bunkers at all costs. Most of the tee boxes were fine except for the par 3s which are pretty chewed up and #18 which was designed/built horribly. If you're looking for a quick round it's best to go elsewhere as this place in the land of fivesomes. The weekday rack rate of $26 is pretty much unbeatable though which is why I'll always find time to play here.
