Long and flat

Pretty good length but not much variety in holes, all fairly straight with no water or hills. Overall a good open course

Website has a problem

Be careful when making a reservation at golf now for this course. Although the list of available golf times shows a price stating that it includes a cart, when the final printout comes out, it states that the price is for walking, not riding.

Slow!!!

I'm a visitor to SoCal and picked this course based on the reviews from golf now and the cost.

First off I had to argue with the attendant about what was included in the round. Once that was settled, I was advised they were running behind. This muni course was sending out 5 somes and it was incredibly slow. Of course I should of known as one lady was giving swing instructions to another woman.

The round was tortuous and I will never play there again. The fairways were thin and the course really lack any character. The greens were in good condition and rolled nice.

Nice

We had a very good time despite the 100 degree temperature. We had a foursome consisting of 2 rank beginners and it was really the perfect time for this. There was not much traffic on the course so we were not hurried by groups behind and we had nobody in front of us. We played at our best pace and the round was enjoyed ny everyone. The staff was very friendly. The course is a little dry in spots, but it was a great deal we got, so we can't complain at all. I used to play here 25+ years ago and the greens are in much better shape now than they were then! We'll be back.

Not my first choice

The greens and fairways were in great condition (except one fairway). The blue tee boxes are uneven and terrible. The white and forward tee boxes are a lot better and flat. The ruff is horrible. It's not very good grass to hit out of. The bunkers were over watered, too. All in all, i don't recommend this course.

Poorly maintained, trash, foul smell.

Brown spots & uneven grass everywhere on rough and even on fairwa and NOT maintained well. No supervisions & no marshals seen anywhere as players in carts were jumping everywhere from holes to holes. Hole 8 on Pine there were trash everywhere by workers' shed and on rough with foul smells and flies buzzing in cloud. Not worth the money & trip.

quick 9

course was in great shape it gets played alot, but greens were almost immaculate (a few pitch marks here and there on par 3's) they are letting the rough grow out a little longer and the fairways were cut and green no dirt patches, played here alot over the years and the last year or so they are really maintaining it alot better. pace for the 9 holes was quick 1 1/2 to 2 hours playing two balls (nobody behind or in front of us we had the whole course to ourselves)

Muni Course, Muni Condition

Pretty much got what I paid for at Whittier. The conditions were so-so, pretty bumpy ride everywhere on the course which gives you an idea of the terrain (potholes, etc.). The grading aside, the course was green and in good shape and to me, that makes for a more enjoyable round than playing somewhere like Skylinks where it's a better track but completely dried out.

The course plays long from the blues but no forced carries and fairly wide open. Pace of play was good, we had a 5-some in front of us with some hackers that slowed us down and caused a 4.75hr round. The also stack them up on tee 1, we teed off almost 45 minutes late (some of that our fault). But the pace is good from tee 2 on.

Bottom-line, for the price, good course to have some beers and hang with your boys. If you're looking to really play a round of golf, kick up to the next price point.
