Great day

Course was in great shape. Greens were average (but are usually mostly excellent). Greens 2 and 6 are always poor.

Little Rec a Hidden Gem!

This is one of the best courses in Southern California if you are looking for a 9-hole, 2+ hour round! There are four fun Par 4's and five challenging Par 3's, a great way to spend Friday afternoon before heading to Happy Hour. We'll be back soon!

Worth the price

Great executive course for the price. Several par 4s allow you to pull out your driver if you choose.

Wide open fairways and would recommend for beginners.

Busy as expected on the weekend. Able to walk without any issues.

Great Shape In the Rain

I took a chance on the weather being okay and lucked out. I teed off at 7 am in an effort to beat the rain. There was a light rain the whole round and the course was very playable. Greens were running very consistent with decent speed with the wetness. The starter was nice and let me go out 30 minutes earlier. I like the course as 3 of the 5 par 3's are over 150 yards and are challenging. You can hit your driver on all par 4's as well. Pace was around 1.5 hours and I took time to get in some practice chipping and putting. Will come back for sure!
