My 2 Cents

A great place to fine tune the swing with multiple pars 4 and 3.

Will definitely go back

Nice place for quick tune up round

Since finding tee times in the Los Angeles area is difficult right now, this was a good alternative to a full 18. The layout had some challenges and the greens were in decent shape after being punched. The executive length is great for tuning your short game on the par-3s and has enough distance on some of the par-4s to use your driver. The current COVID standard of four players max per group every ten minutes has really helped pace of play and we finished our round in about two hours..They have power carts if you need to ride.

Bad day to play

Lil rec is always a great course to play if you don’t have a lot of time. I play there frequently. As long as you get there early enough., you can finish in under an hour and a half. There are four par 4’s, which is great for an executive course since most execs around the area only have 2 par 4’s. I didn’t give as high a review as I would typically because the course was in bad condition the day we played. They just aerated the fairways and it was early morning, so it was muddy and uneven. No one said anything to us until we got to the first tee. Most of the time the course is in decent condition for a muni and provides some decent challenges. I would definitely play there again, but they should probably close the course if they aerate the fairways.

Good course!

I've played here about 8-9 times. The course is well maintained. For the money you cannot beat this course. Don't expect high end however if you want a decently challenging course that is well taken care of. I highly recommend giving this place a go.

The course took a while to play, it was a crowd and people were playing very slow, the ambassador had to speak with some groups to speed up the pace.

A gem among 9 hole courses in the region

Nice and well laid out and well maintained course.. All Tee boxes are grass and the greens were way faster than expected. Definitely coming back.
