The Lakes at El Segundo

There was a group a head of us that had 6 kids playing and they were sharing a bag. The people said something to them over the intercom but did nothing about it . We waited like 10 minutes at each tee. We even played two balls at each hole when it was finally our turn. The reason I go to a 9 hole is to not spend all day. Just think that something could have been done about that especially since they did notice at hole 1. But still alllowed then to play as a 6some. Also everyone should have their own clubs. Part of pace of play

Depending on what time you play & day. This is a great course to practice your short irons. The bunkers are pretty great condition.

The staff are beyond helpful with anything needed. For example: I was running late for my tee time and they did what they could to fit me in for the next available time slots.

Some of the greens had ball divots from previous players, but other than that it’s a great course.

The course and location is fun. Playing at night is hard with the amount of floodlights that aren’t working. There was at least one green we could barely see due to lack of lighting.

Other than that we had a great time.

The Lakes is a great beginner friendly par 3 with enough challenges for a 'just past' beginner. My wife and I really like it and plan to return regularly

It’s not worth the money . Too much poop on the course . They don’t take Apple Pay and only cards and cash . Not very flexible on anything . The price doesn’t represent the quality of service or play . I can see why residents of the area play , because it is worth $15 not $25+ .

The Lakes provides a nice opportunity to work on your short game and putting. It is a well maintained course. Greens are in great shape.

Lighting was bad and there were a few greens with huge logs of geese poop That had to be moved in order to make a putt.

First time playing on Wednesday evening at 6:20pm, day after the start of the Palisades Fire, but we really wanted to get out. It was a fantastic course! The tee boxes had little mats, but we mostly played just off to the side in the turf - which it was clear many people do. Great course layout, massive greens, solid difficulty with interesting distances and tiered/undulating greens. Was extremely well lit, we only lost one errant ball between the 3 of us - not including the 3 sent right into the lake at the forced carry on hole 3. The greens were slower than what we have been used it with public courses out here, and some seemed to have had some sand on them? But nothing crazy. We will definitely come back!

Instead of going to the driving range, I went to the Lakes at El Segundo and I was pleasantly surprised. Course is in pretty good condition and it played within 75 minutes. I’ll be back. And the staff was really helpful.
