Malibu Golf Club

Over the past 15 years I have played Malibu Golf Club many times. It has been a couple of years since I've played there and it was my last! The fairways haven't been watered in months and the grass is dead. Many tee boxes had no grass at all. I chose this course because of the way it used to look and play. This round was a birthday gift for two of my closest friends and I was truly embarrassed! So Long!!!!!

The cart roads are in a bad condition, and also the field conditions were horrible. The grass were dead too.

If you're used to dirt tee boxes and brown fairways, you may just love this course in its current state. Its clearly not in its normal state, suffering extreme water cutbacks during the current drought. It needs several months of steady watering to be worth the $40 green fees I paid.

Great layout. Challenges your club selection due to elevation changes, also a few forced carries. Appears to be one of the most affected by the current drought, since the fairways and tees barely show any sign of water.

Fairways and tee boxes were brown, sand in bunkers was hard. They seem to only be watering the greens.

$40 to Ride and play ENDLESS golf at a good course, (27 holes with at least 2-3 balls into each hole if I did not like a shot.) Great way to practice on a good course. Does not get better than that. Even at the turn, food was good and not over priced

Fairways are in bad shape but that's because they are renovating the course

The course utilizes the quick elevation change from the hills surrounding to create drops from the tee and challenging fairways. Palm trees and hills provide for potential however the grass is in desperate need of a drink. Golden and withered the so called grass gave no support for a ball. Despite these conditions, the layout is fantastic.

This once nice course now resembles a fairground more than a golf course. The fairways are in far worse condition than Lost Canyons. Even at a discount of $50 this course isn't even worth it.

Greens were good but overall condition of course was poor.
Needs grooming.

what happen 3 weeks ago it was in good shape on 7/13 dog track dry ugly so sad.

Very poor quality track. Not worth $50! Too bad, since it is in a beautiful setting.

Malibu CC is all but ready to close in the fall to begin new construction of facilities and the golf course.
As a result they are letting the course pretty much dry out and giving little care for the balance of the season. The paths are like off roading they are so delapitated. Still it is a really neat location buried in the Santa Monica Mountains. Should be awesome when the new club returns.

Malibu used to be a very pretty course. Maybe because it's summer, but it was very dry, scraggly, and dusty. If you didn't bring water, it was nowhere to be found. Bathrooms on the course did not have sinks. Disappointing as I have fond memories of this course

This course used to be well kept, but several factors have now brought this course down to an almost unplayable condition. The rough is all dead, the fairways are barely alive, and the greens have fast and slow spots that make some putts ridiculous even when they went in. The cart paths are in need of repaving to the point where you need a kidney belt to go 5mph. It was almost sad to see after playing this course religiously a few years back when it was in its prime.

Course used to be in fine shape. Now it's like the munis in LA like Encino and Balboa. Bad fairways with lumpy bumpy crabcrass, holes and divots. Lots of rough missing and now just dirt, sometimes with a sprinkling of crabgrass. Grass growing down into the bunkers shows a lack of serious meaningful maintenance. Must be the drought or lack of business. Didn't use to be this way. I admit I got a great deal through GolfNow and paid only $9 to play today, and it was okay for that money. If I paid the $100 the course sometimes charges I'd be mystified how they get away with it. The course is hard enough with big elevation changes, narrow fairways, and lots of trees, without having to hit off hard dirt in the fairways or to hit it in rough, only to find no grass there, just dirt. And the greens were smooth but slow for a course based on a "country club" atmosphere. You'll take your chances fellow golfers. I definitely wouldn't pay more than $20 to play this again, but I won't be coming back till I hear the course is lush again. It's work, not fun.

This is a challenging course, especially the first time out b/c there are several blind tee shots that must be well executed, and a lot of elevation change throughout the course. The greens rolled well and had a lot of undulation. The course is in a great setting tucked into the Malibu hills, with some great views. Only slight downside was the bad shape of the cart paths, which isn't that big of a deal.

You won't see any rough, mostly dried out.. Although the greens are not so bad

Got a cheap price and for good reason too. Course was in bad shape like dried spots which didn't bother me too much because of the drought but also had a lot of muddy areas. The greens were yellow spotted with divots everywhere. The cart path was all broken up to where it felt like driving through rocks. The price was about half the normal price but not low enough for me to drive up there again.

The course was fun and I liked the views. The cart paths are hammered and the layout seemed old school. On that note I did enjoy the coarse. On the 9th tee was an old Hawk that was not afraid of people. The coarse is about to be demolished and a new layout to be designed and installed. Sorta feel bad to see her go but excited about a new coarse. anticipating much higher FEE'S, so hope I can still play the new one. I will play her at least once more to say good bye to a good OLD soul. A sad day to be sure.
