Still slow play

Haven't played this course for over 30 years thought it would be fun to play with my 20 year old daughter who is getting the bug to play a lot thought the price was reasonable and the course was in good shape especially the greens still pretty slow play but what do you expect with a public course that is probably got a bunch of first time golfers on it. Still had s great day playing with my daughter and a nice couple from long beach will definitely play this course again.

Little Rec

Always a good pace of play and you can usually find a hot deal on Golf Now. Great staff and a challenging course for a small 9 hole. Restaurant and pro shop have good prices also. Great course for the price in the heart of LBC.

Great course with long holes.

This course is both fun and driver friendly. A good mix of Holes where you tee off with a driver or use your irons. The fairways are forgiving for the amateur while also being long enough to challenge the more skilled player. The course usually plays quickly with minimal waiting. The staff is very polite and helpful.

It was a slow start with about 30 min behind, but it was a holiday weekend. The staff was great and gave everyone a free beer for waiting. The course was decent, it was mainly a three wood to a wedge on almost every par 4 but he par 3s were challenging.
