Not Worth the Money

My third review. Great staff and course conditions, but the challenge continues to be the value for the money. You can play a half dozen courses of same or larger size for less than this price in a 10 mile radius.

To add insult, the valet parking for Top Golf continues to get larger and free public parking smaller, so add 33% more for parking? Are you guys crazy?

The course continues to shrink the yardage which is another problem. Fix the parking, fix the overall price, fix the total yardage by hole by positioning the tee boxes back farther. If anyone wonders why there are tons of tee times available..this is why..not worth it.

We used to come here every week, now, maybe once or twice a year…fix this

Great Option for a Quick Round

Our group of 4 had a great time at this course. The holes were challenging at times but mostly welcoming. The course was in great condition and it was a great exprerience. We had to wait about 20 minutes after our tee time to get started due to the course being backed up, but otherwise, excellent experience. Will be back again soon.

Best Par 3 I’ve Ever Played

The Lakes at El Segundo is easily by far the best par 3 course I’ve ever played. Excellent course conditions, fun course design with water and sand, manageable but also challenging tees, distances, and pin positions. Greens are in better shape than most public 18’s. Hole 10 is the best treat to end an enjoyable 9 holes with the TopTracer shot live on a monitor at the tee box. Great price for what you get. 10/10, 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, can’t wait to play again!

The course is in good shape except they just punched and sanded greens. Should be great in a week or so.

Other than that it’s a great place to work on your short game. Nice practice area.

music 🎶 on the course

The course is great and wasn’t crowded at our 6:40 AM tee time. First time to the newly designed and the new management. Miss the old crew and breakfast. Clean, new, and friendly staff.

Fun little course, under construction phase(tee boxes). Unfortunately there were 3 golfers (beginners) in front of us. All 3 were playing out of the same bag and kept going on the greens with their hand cart. Course maintenance was mowing grass and watched them, but said nothing. Also, don’t know if it was them, but someone was hitting the greens with their putter leaving square holes on a few of the greens.
