Rio Hondo Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

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.
Narrow but fun
Course is in good condition with the exception of the sand traps. Seems like most LA County courses have the worst sand traps around. Lakewood golf course is the same exact way. I think it’s at least thing or something. Anyways the course was pretty fun pace is pretty solid Only got nine holes in had to leave early and it was hot as balls. If they fix the traps I’ll come back.
Worst Experience Ever
I’ve never seen 4 groups waiting to play the 8th hole, but it happened at Rio Hondo on a Wednesday afternoon. Close to 3 hours to play 9 so I walked off at the turn despite paying for 18. Don’t know what they’re doing with their tee times but it was absolutely atrocious. It’s a shame too because the course is in decent shape but avoid it if you can if you’re in LA.
Turtle Could Walk Faster Than You’ll Play
6 hour round at 12:52pm on a Friday. If you like waiting 10-15 minutes on every hole this is your course. $55 to sit in a golf cart all day. Condition of the course is the only thing this course has going for it and it’s just okay. Greens are very very slow, will mess you up at a halfway decent course. 3 star difficulty because it’s very challenging to take a 15 minute break between every hole and still play well.
Beautiful and nice course layout
I enjoyed a lot at this course. Beautiful and nice.
The course was great for trying for birdies as it there were no uphills and lots of flat and ground.
Overall good
It was overall good , everything even weather was not to hot nice breeze
They ask for cart fee twice
I pay for online, but they still ask the cart fee again
