About
Located just minutes from LAX, Rio Hondo Golf Club is conveniently accessible from the South Bay and Orange County. Golf Digest has ranked the course as one of southern California's "Places to Play." The 6,370-yard layout is narrow and challenging, placing a premium on accuracy off the tee. Many locals consider it to be the toughest golf course in the area. The course features tight, tree-lined fairways and subtly contoured greens that are faster than they look. It's not a particularly long layout but the par 3s provide some good length. Golfers will face a variety of challenges throughout, but there is also plenty of scenic respite. Sparkling lakes and cascading waterfalls are scattered across the landscape, coming into play on a few holes as well. In addition to the golf course, there is also a lighted, 30-station driving range at Rio Hondo G.C.

Great course fun layout
Pace of play was great. The range was in good shape an easy to access next to the first tee box. A lot of fairways running next to each other but still a fun an challenging layout. Rough was a little long and made hitting fairways important. Staff was friendly cart girl was awesome shout out to gabby for the great service.
Great course
Pace of play was good. 1 fairway grass was in bad shape but overall great course
Extremely slow
Pace of play is a serious issue here. No marshals whatsoever to manage pace. The layout I would say is pleasing, and the conditions aren’t too bad. I just wish something. Was done about pace of play
Great Value!!
Loved the course and the green keepers do a great job maintaining it! I definitely recommend it! 4/5 stars
Hidden gem
I’ve been trying to play this course for months now, but early tee times are always difficult to secure as they book fast. I was lucky to get a mid morning tee time and was happy with the outcome. The layout is great and somewhat challenging with the several water hazards. Greens are well kept and pace of play was good/average. Finished 18 holes in 5 hours which seems to be the norm as it gets later in the afternoon and day. Would definitely recommend and look forward to playing this course again soon.
Great layout
Really great course to play that has enough hazards to make it fun. Tee time was a 1:40pm on a Sunday and it took about 3hrs 30 mins to get through 9 holes. Pace of play was extremely slow. We did not see any Marshalls to keep the pace moving.
Well kept course
Awesome course. Reminds me of some of the more expensive courses in Palm Springs. Although it got dark and I left my 69 wedge on a green and we back to look for it and couldn’t find it: if anyone finds it please take it to the Pro Shop! Overall great place to golf.
Pace of play made it not worth it
The course is great but the pace of play was horrible! We started at 1 but couldn’t finish the course due to the pace. At one point, there was 3 groups on the par 5 at the same time! There was about 6 carts waiting for the par 3. Other than that the course is nice.
