First time since Top Golf

I played here years ago before Top Golf was built. Everything is much "fresher" now. We didn't get a chance to use range before round for some reason. Would have been nice. Course is short and pretty easy as expected. Mush less bird droppings than in previous years but still there. Overall enjoyable time. Would do it again.

The geese population is truly out of control. There are droppings everywhere- it is impossible to play with out getting ones shoes and golf balls full of poop.

Small but Mighty

Enjoyed the quality of the tees and greens. Uphill and downhill holes add to variety. Pin placements that day were basically simple but could be the difference in score by several strokes. Slopes on greens are readable but tricky.

Greens putted superb for as much play as they get. Bring a ball mark repairer as many others don’t. Probably more out of ignorance than intent.

Have fun!

Relax and play

The Lakes at El Segundo is seriously the most chill par 3 I've ever played. Ten holes of pure, unadulterated fun. Okay, so it's not Augusta, but who cares? It's perfect for a quick round with your buddies, or even just to get some practice in without sweating too much. Plus, the views are surprisingly decent for being in the middle of everything. Honestly, if you're looking for a relaxed, no-pressure golf experience, this is your spot. Don't expect a challenge, just good times and maybe a birdie or two if you're lucky!

Fun course

The course was in good condition. The shot tracer video screen was out of order the last two

times I played. They should fix that.

Course Lighting

4/10 holes made it difficult to play because it was missing lightbulbs so it made it really dark. Wouldn’t go back for a night until that’s fixed.

What's with the teeing areas?

The course is what it is regarding the length of the holes. The drawbacks are as follows: 1. The tee mats are horrible and it appears they want you to use them because the grass was high and inconsistent around the mats. 2. What's with the rinky-dink 9th hole? Why not have it like it used to be when there was a long 9th hole instead of having a dinky chip shot for 9 and a pitching wedge for 10?
