Played Thursday, 5/21. The tee boxes, fairways, rough, and sand are what I expect when playing an LA county course. They were in fair condition but playable. The greens were receptive to shots, rolled decently, but are very slow. For the price the course is worth playing.

OK it's been a while since I have been back. Glad I took the time off. Now I can at least try to give them the benefit of the doubt this time. Played twilight and I have to say this course is still busy but not in the afternoon. Great little course if you want to boost the ole ego.

Course sets up pretty easy. Loads of mature trees line the fairways. Tee boxes are still well rotated. Not a lot of uneven lies or divots to contend with compared to other munis but you still have to deal with them; just a little more grass here than what I saw the last time I was here. Fairways are in pretty good shape. Lush but you get different kinds of grass growing so you expect some funky lies now and again. Same can be said about rough which is non existent. Bunkers are terrible. You have 1/4" sand then its dirt, so treat it like a grass pitch and you should be OK. Just don't expect to send the ball flying out of the bunker with loads of sand. Greens are perhaps the best I have seen them to be. Looks like they verticut them but it's been a few days since they have cut the greens so the rolls are pretty bouncy. You do get a lot of Poa thatch on the greens but I think the verticut did its job b/c the ball is not jumping all over the place just slow and a little bouncy.

Nice to see the course looking halfway decent. It's a good confidence boosting course. Easy par 4s, pretty straight forward par 5s and some interesting par3s make this course a hidden gem. Just wish the greens were a little more receptive and were puttable. I had no trouble putting but honestly if I were to use the same putting stroke on say a Moorpark or Rustic Canyon green I would watch my ball sail across the green and into the second cut. Since this is only a muni, what do you expect? Still it's a fun little course and I am glad they are making conditions at least marginally playable. Some greens still a little burned out and bare.

Staff is incredibly nice. Greens grooming is about the worst I've ever seen. Now, mind you, I know how to operate the mowers, adjust them, etc, and I've done the job myself. These greens are not we... Continue »

Staff is incredibly nice. Greens grooming is about the worst I've ever seen. Now, mind you, I know how to operate the mowers, adjust them, etc, and I've done the job myself. These greens are not well kept. Course is a great goof if you're with friends just kicking it. WATCH OUT FOR THE COP SITTING AT THE END OF QUILL!! go slow to the entrance or YOU WILL GET A TICKET! One of my group did once.

Go to Rio Hondo and pay the extra bucks....

Prices went up recently, but the course itself doesn't show it. Tee boxes for Par 3 holes were full of big divots. Others are ok. Greens were a little slow due to recent rain, but rolled well, although a few ball marks are around. Fairways are decent, rough is kinda thin at spots and good at others. Pace is good, until people go searching for balls in both dried up lakes and real lakes. Fun layout, but probably won't go back, as you can get nicer courses for the price.

Played here Saturday with 8 20 tee time. Teed off at 9 thought holy crap it is going to be a long day. Was suprised the nly wait was the first tee due to it being a short par 5 so people would wait to reach the green. First time playing this course and i was pleasantly surprised. This course is not that long but it is fun. I did not like the traps, but the fairways and tee boxes were good. Pace was good in that I teed off at 9 and finished at 1 30. Not bad for a weekend round in la.

For those of you that know me, this is a course very close to work. I can usually sneak out here during the weekday and get at least 9 holes in. Times have been busy and I had the dubious honor of playing this course on the weekend instead. Got out at Twilight as a single. I am sad to say the lack of light really doesn't help this course. The Greens are diseased. They are cut short, they roll fast enough but it's bumpy and there are bare patches everywhere. It's even sadder to see that NO one, and I mean NO ONE fixes their divots. Come on locals... if you guys don't help take care of your own home course, who the devil is going to? Because as I see it the greenskeeper needs loads of help and a truckful of Acts of God to make this place come back from the dead. The only really nice things is that the greens where quick and receptive the rest, bring a 4x4 ball because you will have to figure out a way to navigate through literally hundreds of pits and valleys between you, your ball and the hole. Fairways are OK. Sand in bunkers also OK, tee boxes were flat -- at least they are smart enough to rotate the tee markers b/c that is it's only redeeming quality. Rough is growing thick and almost impossible to find a ball. You only play this course to build confidence in your game but come on, this place has evolved into a dog tract fit for only well.... dogs. Sad to see it turn out this way b/c the bones of this course is really fantastic. With a boat load of care from both the paying public and the greens staff can you honestly expect a comeback but I wouldn't hold your breath. Shame on you management. You lease this course from the county only to turn it into a pig stye. Honestly if you guys don't get a clue and get some work done to fix this problem you really deserve to lose this to a management company like American Golf, at least they know how to invest in their people and their courses and come out with something decent to play on. I mean if Alondra Park can spend the coin on their golf course with the threat of losing their lease the very least you can do is get a clue, do some work on the course to make it presentable. Where is your pride in ownership or at least leasorship (sp?) You ought to be ashamed of yourselves. I would not walk but RUN as far away from this place. It's not worth the time, the money or the aggrevation. I mean where is the challenge if you pay your money and get literally given the finger by the workmanship of the greens staff there? Forget about it. It will literally be a cold day in HELL before I return. Hello Rio Hondo. At least your course is always in tip top condition. You take care of your patrons and honestly isn't that all we are really asking? We pay money we expect at least decent accomodations and course conditions. Rather we are greeted with sad, diseased greens, dying fairways, concrete sand ... it's ridiculous. I ain't NEVER coming back!

Overall this course isn't too bad for the money. With a twilight fee of $15 to walk after 2PM you can't really find a less expensive course that is not executie. Be warned, the greens are in terribl... Continue »

Overall this course isn't too bad for the money. With a twilight fee of $15 to walk after 2PM you can't really find a less expensive course that is not executie. Be warned, the greens are in terrible shape. You pretty much putt with your eyes closed and hope for the best as there is no smooth roll anywhere on the greens. Stay out of the sand if you can...it's all hard pan.

The course is in need of some real help . almost all the greens are suffering from fungus spots through the whole green . Lot of ball marks this time out . I repaired 5-6 on every green and dropped hints to the guys ahead of us then ever we were waiting for them to hit. Also witnessed a few plugged balls aroung the green ,from the guys behind us.Very wet at times. Over watering.The fairways have some club damage as well ,but not real bad, although there is quite a few bare spots on some.
The ruff has not been cut for awhile and is really too long. Severe
penalty for being just off the fairway.No medium cut here. Out along the tree line could mean "lost ball".Not sure what the problem is at LosAmigos ,Money, Maintenance crew, or management, but really needs some help right now.

As always I try to have fun out on the course , and will play L.A. again , maybe in a few weeks .

I have not played this course in three months and when I played on 8/17 the greens are in TERRIBLE shape! Either the golf course superintendent is on vacation or they have Carl Spackler taking care of the greens. Fairways, rough, and tee boxes were what you expect of a Muni, however.
