North at Alondra Park Golf Course

Living in the South Bay getting to good courses is a pain. This course is nothing spectacular but it's always fun and in decent shape. The par 3s aren't too short, and the par 5s aren't too long. But you can grip it and rip it 14 times and never lose your ball. Overall great value. The range is also good and cheap for LA.

There are no early tee times for this course online.

Not bad, fairways still need grass, sand traps are so hard the score your clubs. Why not fill them.

Greens have gotten better. Fairway was is in okay shape, with lots of hard patches. Looks like they are working hard in maintaining the course which I can appreciate. Greenside bunkers need some help.

Managed to get a 10:02 tee time for 18 holes only three days in advance so we were stoked. Nice short game practice area. Range balls $6 for 50. Checked in 10 minutes before tee time and told to get in line at first tee. The foursome in line ahead of us had 9:45 tee time. When we got to the front a foursome behind us insisted on teeing off ahead of us. No starter at the first tee. Called the check in and guy told us to let TWO foursomes tee off ahead of us even though they were in line behind us. We teed off at 10:45. Once we got past the par 3 4th hole, place of play picked up a bit. Back nine much quicker. Finished about 3:30.

Course was in poor shape. Greens had not been rolled in weeks. Super bumpy. Teeing areas muddy and pretty hacked up. Not the worst course we've played but reminded me why we don't play here as much as we used to. Nice to be out and hitting the ball but the course condition should be an embarrassment to the staff. Long Beach does a much better job maintaining it's munies than Los Angeles county. And the fiasco at the first tee was...a fiasco.

Can golf be played in the same weather that it was created?

Not this time. “We’re in California” says the starter with extra sass as I attempted to explain that I have played this course on other rainy days and that these are normal conditions if a person is not afraid of a little water.

I was really hoping to play because I like the course a lot and the rain (drizzle) keeps many people away thus eliminating the backup of slow players that often prevents me from finishing in daylight, but was denied on this occasion.

I will continue to play here, but this incident was very annoying.

The photo below was taken during a past round from behind the fourth hole.

Good public course, some dry spots but greens pretty good, a little bumpy could be smoother. Good length of course, medium difficulty. Pace was pretty good, usually a little slower.

Tom and the staff are excellent, I was able to get around in with my buddies, and the course is wide open, and if you're looking to work on your woods and hybrids, it's perfect.

I only play this dive because I’m too lazy to drive to a real track. Only dweebs and old folks play here. Good luck!
