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.

Golfer Reviews
Always A Fun Round
I've played this a few times. Great playing partners, excellent staff, good condition. Not sure why people play so slow or why they can't fix marks on green. I'm not a great player but I know enough to keep moving. My only complaint is they do not allow Senior County rate except before 7 and after 11am- even though County Card says rates apply before 7am and AFTER 9am on weekdays.
Snail’s pace
Played it on a Saturday and waited on every single tee box. Some par 3’s had 3 groups waiting on the tee. I would not recommend playing here on the weekend u less you are willing to dedicate your whole day.
Consistently Good Condition
Have played this course off and on for many years and I always find it in good condition. This course keeps you honest but is also very enjoyable to play. Staff are real professionals.
Playing with the turttles
This is a nice course but for 236 to 510 we got to hole 8 after waiting over 10 min We got to tee off. Sadly couldn't play any more due to I had to be at work in 30 min. I've never played a course so slow. No marshals once twilight hits and ya charge the price I paid for strawberry farm, black gold and oak query. Not the same caliber
Slow pace of play
Not worth the price they charge considering you won’t finish a full 18. Second time playing here and both times, we were delayed by 20-30 min. We waited for every shot, I mean every shot, both times I’ve played here. They stack the tee times too close to one another, which is what I think causes the constant delays. Both times we only finished 13 holes, with the front 9 taking about 2 and a 1/2 hours to finish. Then the next 3-4 holes taking another 1 and a 1/2 half hours. Really really really slow pace here.
Go elsewhere
Rain
Kept the tee time even though the heaviest rains of the year had dumped 6-8 inches of rain over the previous 36 hours. It was cart paths only for golf carts but the course was very playable. Only on the 18th fairway did we have to relocate balls because of muddy soil. Yes, some bunkers had pools of water but many courses in southern California just are not playable after that much rain. Thank you to the staff and course designers for a good day of golf followed by lunch in the nice clubhouse restaurant.
