North at Alondra Park Golf Course

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!

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
