When I woke up this morning, I had planned to go out to the Inland Empire to play, but with winds blowing like they were, decided I would "cut my losses" and ended up at Los Amigos. Conditions were about what I expected, but you $16, difficult to complain.

Greens were better than expected, fairways were a mixed bag. Some good lies, some awful thin lies. Found two bunkers and neither had much sand. I had a low level of enthusiasm today, so the marginal conditions did not bother me as much as they might have. It probably would have been a better idea to actually take a day off and try to "re-charge" my golf battery

Played Saturday Oct 19 in the afternoon. Had not played too often here the last year or so, but the course had improved compared to a few years ago. However, this outing was very disappointing. The greens weren't too slow but some were very chewed up. Every putt started with a bounce. The fairways were also terrible. Shots in the middle of the fairway were penalized by dirt lies. This happened numerous times. The bunker sand was nice as usual, but this is a course to stay away from for now. I feel bad for the staff at Los Amigos because they are always so nice.

Teed off shortly before 7am on Thursday and finished in just under 4 hours. The greens, aside from ball marks, were in good shape. The greens held shots and rolled fairly smooth with medium/fast speed... Continue »

Teed off shortly before 7am on Thursday and finished in just under 4 hours. The greens, aside from ball marks, were in good shape. The greens held shots and rolled fairly smooth with medium/fast speed. The fairways are fair to good. Mostly good coverage with some areas having patchy mixed growth but playable. The rough was also fair to good. Around the greens was mostly good and rough along the fairways was anything from bare to good coverage. The bunkers appeared to be in good shape (was not in any but playing partners had no complaints). The tee boxes were decent and mostly level. The 6200 yard layout has a nice variety of holes to keep things interesting. I have found the staff to always be friendly.

After a long year away, finally made it back to Los Amigos and found pretty much what I expected to find there. 'The Friends' is a short track with plenty of good scoring opportunities and fairly simple layout with the exception of the last three holes which are beasts.

Conditions are about what you would expect right now at this course. You will find serviceable fairways with good to decent coverage but a slew of thin areas and browned out spots, but you can still get the job done. The tee boxes are pretty beat up without a doubt, but the bunkers as usual remain in very good shape. You'll almost always find great sand traps here.

Greens are running at medium speed, have good coverage, but are definitely a good bit on the spongy side, and far too many ball marks from lazy golfers who seem to think that a low-cost course deserves low-energy personal sacrifice to fix the damage. Speaking of low-budget, the carts are about as basic as it gets - no frills personified.

POP was great for a Sunday though so have to give props for that. No waiting outside of a few minutes on the par 3s but the rest was a breeze. So, in summary, Los Amigos is feeling a bit of the summer dry spell but it's still in good working shape and, as long as you're not expecting anything too spectacular, you won't be too disappointed.

Played on Friday, Aug. 16th. Had a 1:30 tee time. Course was pretty empty so they let us go off early! This course has always been my favorite local, affordable course. It was in really good shape. Tee boxes were good, not great, but still plenty of grass. Fairways were the same. Never landed in a bad spot, luckily. I was really impressed with the sand in the bunkers!! Wow!! Every bunker had fluffy sand you'll find in a higher-end resort course! Good job, Los Amigos! Greens were good, but a lot of knuckleheads refuse to fix their divots. Bar, clubhouse, coffee shop and (recently added) outside bar are really nice (outside bar is cash only ). Staff was friendly. Finished our round in 4 hours or so (had a slow group of Seniors on the last 6 holes, but not that bad). Can't wait to come back! (BTW- I'm an 18 hdcp, and shot 80 from the Whites, with 29 putts) You'll like this place!!

Always try to take advantage of the LA County courses using the senior discount card. Even when conditions are not the greatest, for $16.50 it's a bargain. While not the most difficult course. Los Amigos is a fun track to play, provides a number of good birdie opportunities and has some interesting holes.

Condition was about as expected. Greens better than expected, fairways were hit/miss, depending where your ball ended up. Only in one bunker and it was fine. A few of the tee boxes could use some attention, but generally they were decent. (Just had to choose where to place your peg) Appears they are putting a little maintenance into the course, which is good to see. Always like when I see the county/city spending $$ to improve the courses.

Played the Blue tees today on a nice warm day. Used the GK coupon which included cart, hot dog and drink. Customer service was great at check in and snack bar. Started as a twosome, but a single behind us joined on #6. Then joined the single in front of us on #8. The foursome in front of him would not let him play through. Finished the front in 1.5 hours. Back nine took 2.5 hours. Greens were receptive and rolled medium/fast speed. Fairways and rough in decent shape with mostly good lies. They were doing maintenance (pipes) on the right side of #8 fairway. Bunkers in good condition, but a few were unraked. There are a lot of goose droppings on the holes surrounding the lake, so watch your step. This is a nice course to boost your confidence and the GK coupon makes it a great deal.

Played today. Weather was comfortably warm. Conditions pretty darn consistently good. For those that know me, this course is one of my favorite because it's fairly straightforward with great bones. Add some great conditions and this is the makings of a great golf experience locally.

Greens were firm. Held their line well. The pin placements were difficult but fair. I had a blast trying to figure out the breaks. The practice greens reflect what to expect on the course. Fairways had great coverage with a nice cushion underneath. Rough cut to the approximately the same height as the fairways. Bunkers were well stocked with sand.

Course was busy but moving. Consistent conditions was a nice surprise. Dare I say it rivals its neighbor down the street.

All told, I was pleased with the round. Throw in that GK has two GK Coupons I think it's a good deal. Download your GK Coupon for free and enjoy some really good golf.

Definitely recommended

Played Los Amigos with my monthly club at 9am on Saturday, 4/6/19, on a warm sunny day with not too much wind until near the end of the round (just in time for #17 – gaakkk!!). We play here every Spring. The course is in standard shape with decent greens, dry fairways and rough, and OK sand. I was surprised that after all the rain we’ve had this winter the “turf” in fairways and greens was thin, dry, and clumpy, and the underlying ground was very dry and hard. Lies anywhere were a crapshoot, and even on grassy patches in the fairway the turf was thin and tight and the ball could sit down. Frankly, I didn’t have a lie at any point on the course the entire round that I had confidence in.

Greens were in good shape, fairly firm and showing few ballmarks (except the front of the new green at #11 – badly pitted!). They really didn’t hold shots but released all approaches. Tees were level but some were firm and others soft, making for uncertain footing. I was in 2 bunkers with good but thin sand.

Basic cart and no sand mix refills available on-course. Range on mats but a good deal - ~40 balls for $5. Good club sandwich in the snack bar afterward, but it took a long time to get prepared. OK for a casual round.

Left my rangefinder in the cart after the round (DOH!). Called Monday to see if anyone had turned it in - nope! It's gone! Dang!!$$$
