Greens suck
This course is for hacks. Greens are slow and bumpy. Other courses in Long Beach are in fantastic condition. Stay away from this place.

The greens were recenly aeriated and the holes & sand made putting accuracy impossible. Also the cup sleves on several holes extended above the level of the green, knocking your ball away.
Otherwise, the course was in great shape.

Not sure what’s going on
Beautiful day, took 5 hours to get through 16. Booked for 4, one didn’t show..ate the $70, which was fine..but at that point, I think it’s only fair we play with 3. The starter decided to add a single (who was a cool dude) and I just don’t think it was fair for them to charge me for the 4th AND add a single to our group.

Work on your long game
Great course for long holes. We had a great time. They were on-time and had marshalls moving things along. We got the round done in 4 1/2 hours.

Great value
One of my favorite public courses in the area. It’s a longer course with a lot of elevation change and the greens always run true.
