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!

Great Practice Course

I've played here twice last month and was very happy with what it was. Pace of play was between 1:45-2:00 both times. Great course for $11.99 on golfnow hot deals. The tee boxes and fairways are in great shape. The greens run around a 8-9 in the am and are very smooth to putt on. Great variety with (4) par 4's between 240-340 and (2) par 3's of 90-110 yards and (3) par 3's of around 160-170. Staff has always been friendly.

Paying 36$ means 72$ for 18, and there’s no way I’d pay that much for these conditions.

Golf course ambassador following us around ruined the experience

First timer with golf still trying to learn. It's hole 7 the "ambassador" starts following us around. At hole 8 while on the tee she stars telling us to hurry up. I was keeping up with the pace of the game as the group in front of us was taking long. Felt targeted and she started telling us the group behind us are regulars and telling her we are taking long. We were forced to hit while another group on front of us was still on green. Felt targeted for being brown.
