New Management Company Dragging But

nice round, but chagrined to see five-somes AND singles scattered throughout. pace was erratic. course in great shape. greens soft, tough par 3's with sand in front of greens and pin placement directly behind them. no beverage cart, no bag drop, carts hemmed in by pylons everywhere, poor directional signage, no yardage marks on sprinklers, fun time and great round but could be so much better

Fix divots on greens

Signs should be placed at the edge of every green to remind players to fix their ball divits. This should be in both English and Chinese (and Spanish if it fits). The greens would be so much better if ball divits were fixed.

Very bad greens. A mix of Bermuda and poanna. The worst greens I have seen on this particular golf course

Not sure what management is going to do with the greens. There awful. I have been playing this course for 40 years and there the worst greens I have seen there

Slow & Bumpy

This course is consistently slow from tee to green. The greens are very bumpy and uneven. Grass through out the course is mixed with various breeds and strains of both northern and southern blue and wheat grasses. Due to the large volume of players and below average condition pace of play runs over 5 hours. The staff are very friendly with food and bar service employees giving outstanding service. The food is good with an exemplary coffee cake! However the pro shop has almost no products for sale. Bring everything you need for a long slow day.

Poor service

We were an hour late teeing off because we had to

wait for keys to our carts. The course should have

extra keys for carts. People who decided to walk went

ahead of us so that put us even further back. Finished

the round later than we wanted to . Couple people in our group had someplace to go so we had to rush

to finish.

Super slow

Had t-tee for 12:45, they told me to go whenever, so took off at 12:30 by myself. Backed from from #2 period. The same 2, w people group in front was constantly waiting before me every tee. Took 4 hours to go 14 then I quitted. Otherwise good looking course and layout. Will try and play at 7 am next time

Fair course

Quick 4 and 1/2 hour round at 9am Sunday Morning. Course in pretty good shape. Lots of brown patches especially around greens. Most elevated and tricky greens which makes this course more interesting than other city courses. No real hazards so bomb away each t box

Nice Track

Very playable course. Definitely some bare patches throughout the course. Greens in pretty good shape. It's gets loud from surrounding traffic but not much you can do about that. Overall solid for a good price

Never Belittle A Shot Down The Middle

The course was in good shape, both fairways and greens. The greens were slow and took a bit getting used to. The sand in the bunkers was excellant, smooth as silk. Also, I have to recomend the Breakfast Burrito in the grill room, muy excellente!

The place is a ghost town!

The place is a ghost town. The regular friendly pro-shop staff as well as the regular restaurant staff is no longer there and the pro-shop itself is empty of merchandize. The word is that the course is under new management that is trying to save the city money and they’ve cut down their staff including the greenkeepers staff from ten to only four and the course is in terrible shape. Also the day that we played which was on a Friday the restaurant was closed. Really sad to see this, since this was a great local course and was one of the gems of the San Gabriel Valley for decades.
