North at Alondra Park Golf Course

This course is exactly what most people consider as an average municipal golf course. Nothing fancy or horrid, just a fairly decent priced course. Don’t expect things to be amazing. They’re not. But if you have six hours and don’t want to drive, this might suit your needs. Yes six hours. This is LA. Pace of play is generally awful and when you have courses that allow five players, it’s going to be a long day. Staff is generally pretty nice though.

Played Saturday at 12:10. Tried to check in when I bought range balls, but was told I had to wait for the next shift at 11:45. When I went up to check in, the Golf Now info either was not showing, inaccurate or employee did not know how to read. Had to show email from Golf Now to prove I paid for round with cart, took about 10 minutes and then I had to rush up tot he tee. Tee boxes were in ok shape for the most part, fairways were in poor shape, rough was nonexistent for the most part and greens looked good, but were very bumpy. Pace of play was slow, five hour round.

This course has solid bones but the combination of poor course conditions and very poor greens paired with a lack of Marshall and a cold rigid staff means I only play this course as a last resort. If tee times were easier to come by during the pandemic there wouldn't be much reason to play here.

Punched greens, seeding ..

Without course Alert full charged fee is unfair.

It had been a bit since I was there last. Greens used to be very bumpy but were rolling nice this time. It’s a fun layout and some of the par 4’s can give a challenge for sure!

Cool and moderate golf course Good for walking and good for beginners But a long golf course for beginners

I wish GolfNow had more honest reviews. Here’s one of them. For a good price this course has everything you need to enjoy a round of golf. Sure not every blade of grass or bunker is in prime condition, but the fairways greens and tee boxes all get the job done. This isn’t a pro level course, it’s enjoyable public golf.

The course layout is even better than I expected, wide fairways, good design and trees and traps that keep you sharp.

If you are thinking about trying this course, do it.

So I really stopped playing Alondra a few years back because of the deteriorating conditions. We used to play here as members of LA County golf club once a year and that was about it. I played here last year and vowed I was done with the place. Well with the difficulty of getter tee times now I booked a tee time last week for yesterday 9/12/21. My mind set was OK it is what it is, I lift clean and place if I hit a fairway, I'll give myself at least a flat lie in a bunker and I'll fix as many ball marks as I can when i have a putt. Nothing prepared me for how bad some of the fairways are now, besides being thin with hardly any grass there were massive cracks and gopher holes in many of the fairways. Bunkers were mud and the greens, being the best part of the course were bumpy and slow mostly. So if you can have an attitude of low expectations, play winter rules and a little gratitude for a Sunday tee time you'll be fine. Alondra is definitely the new Victoria.

When reserving time on website, was assessed a $2.50/person surcharge, canceled two of the four slots and could not get surcharge refuind

Never paid surcharge for county course reservations in 30 years

upon arrival 35 minutes prior to tee time, could not pay for round, had to pay for range balls and get called back to pay

course was not well maintained, most fairways hard pan with bare spots

greens were not cut or rolled, extremely bumpy

bunkers had no sand all mud/packed dirt

No grass in the fairways only the rough. No sand in sand traps mostly hard packed dirt.. So disappointed since this was a decent public course. as recently as a few years ago.
