Way too slow

What happened to Whittier Narrows? Terribly slow (and this was a Thursday!), greens were decent, but the course was in poor shape, fairways barely adequate at best. Please invest in a Marshall out there!

Pace of play is bad….

I have played at this course twice and had a similar experience both times. Overall the course was great. The only issue which I think is a big issue is the pace of play. The first time I played here I only reserved for a 9 hole. I finished the 9 in 3 hours due to a 5 sume zig-zagging through every hole. I let that one slide due to the 5 sum. I recently played again this time for an 18 and didn’t get to finish. We teed off at 12:40 and once again took 3 hours to finish the front nine due to several groups playing slow. We attempted to play the back nine until we got to hole 11 and saw 4 group on the par 5. There was one group putting, another, behind them in the fairway, another group in the fairway and another waiting to tee off. I wish I was able to finish. But a 6 hour pase it way too long.

Don’t Play

I have played this course in the past. It is in the worst condition I’ve ever seen. At $65.00 a round for a course this bad. It is not worth the money. Not to mention the condo’s of homeless encampments.

First Time Playing

It was so busy, and the best way to handle it is to send some other players to a different tee. you have three par 9 I don’t understand why are you keeping everybody in the same course

Slow

This was one of the slowest rounds I’ve ever played. In 4 hours me and one other were only able to complete 12 holes. It was a holiday. But still…

Terrible shape. Not worth the money.

Booked this course because I saw they had 27 holes. Paid $45 for 18 midday on a Saturday. The entire course is essentially dirt and weeds for fairways/rough. The greens are in decent shape but not great. Even if you hit the “fairway” there’s about a 90% chance you’ll have a dirt lie. Would not recommend.

Wide Course with Long Holes

I like how this course has wide fairways and long holes. The pace of play can be slow at times, but not too bad. My only complaint over the years has been that the rough is really thick and high; wish they'd mow it to a shorter length.
