Rio Hondo Golf Club

Greens a little bumpy due to recent aeration. Otherwise Fairways were good. Some tee boxes felt a little uneven but overall good condition.

Layout: narrow fairways with good mix of sand. Scattered water.

Pace of play was excellent for a Saturday morning.

It was lucky to play at this golf course with a good partner.

The pace was not bad. The conditions of green and fairways were satisfied. Good lounging!

Nice local course in great conditions. Played last Friday in the heat that was lessen by gentle breeze making the round much more enjoyable.

I booked time at the course on a day when they had high school students playing. The pace was ridiculously slow. I was able to make it through the first two holes, and then noticed the backup. It was suggested to the staff that they begin to post times when high school teams will be practicing.

Nice tree lined course that made you hit the fairway or Par was not a bargain. Tee boxes were mostly good with a few of them on the thin side and a bit uneven. Fairways were well covered and had good lies all day. Greens were good

and a bit on the slow side. Overall I would play here again...

I really like this course, but the two things that took away from my recent round were the lack of rangers on the course keeping the pace of play moving. And the sand traps are in need of some serious attention. Some are so hard, they're unplayable.

What can I say. This was my 8th time out after declaring my comeback after holding out because of contract disputes...... kidding... Actually the blame of the comeback comes on a 7 year layoff after back surgery. This year I said if Tiger won another major I will make a comeback. Well, there you have it. Its Tiger's fault. Never the less, here you have it. Came to play and shot +14 in the front 9. That was #$*%$. However, the back was owned by my split personality. He shot +2 on the back 9. I have no answers for this. Anyway, back to the course. Excellent condition. Better than I have ever seen it. The pace for a Sunday was superb. The greens were consistant. Fairways were good. I highly reccomend this course out of any I the southbay area (Redondo beach, hermosa beach, Manhattan beach areas). Thirteen miles to Downey isnt bad and it's worth it. I'm done here. Thanks again.

it has always a pretty course especially the front nine

Layout here is super tight. Fairways stacked up on each other. Greens are slow. Otherwise it was decent pace and friendly staff!

We're average golfers who play about once or twice a month. The conditions at Rio Hondo this time were excellent for a heavily played public course. Nice grass on fairway, smooth greens (not too fast), good sand, healthy (but not too high) rough with no dirt spots. Probably not too hard for really good golfers; but for those who play from the white tees, this place is great.

We got there 1 hour prior to our round and the pro shop employee stated they were already 15 minutes behind. The reason being is because they allowed several groups ahead of us to tee off with 5 in their group. GEE...I wonder why we had to wait on every tee box and why it took 5.5 hours to play 18 holes. We can play 18 holes in 3 hours on our home course in Florida.

Played the front in two hours. The next four holes took an hour and a half. There were three groups waiting on the par 3 14th. We gave up.
