El Dorado Park Golf Club

Course was I good shape greens were fast smooth. Downside was a mini tour in front of us played extremely slow. Our round took over 5 hours.

You asked for it and long beach delivers. Lots of work around the bunkers and they even dded sand to the bunkers. Expect a lot of plugged bunker shots. Greens were a little bumpy but played fast even when wet.

Always good greens (even though recently sanded this day), but for heaven's sake, do something about the bunkers. They range from medium clay to hardpan and unplayable for a higher handicap player. City course, always full...HAS TO BE money for some sand!!!

May not be the longest course but requires golfers to think of their shot shapes to put you in a good position for that second shots.

Had a great round, one of the best in Long Beach.

Always fun to play and is very challenging with all the trees. Greens were just punched but we’re not as terrible as some courses after being punched still has fun.

I wouldn't play here if I knew they punched the green

What happened to this place? The bunkers are dead. They are rock-hard, concrete caked-mud like you find at Montebello. And people who’ve played Montebello know what I’m saying. It’s the same bunkers!!! Today, the course was extra extra wet. Too wet. Over-watered and water-logged on some holes. Such as hole 10, down the right side fairway about 150 from the green, that whole stretch about 50 yards is coned-off because it’s totally a wet mud pile. And that’s not the only area like that. There were many others. Dunno what’s happened to this place. It’s the worst I’ve seen it. Half the tee boxes are thrashed and thin and uneven, not cared for. We finished close to 2 o’clock in the afternoon and the back 9 fairways were still soaked, and the bunkers were still totally wet and muddy and more than a few had mud puddles in them still!! Quite shocked to see them this way. The fairways were also too lush, as in, not cut, so they almost play like light rough, and with the moisture underneath it was hard to gauge what the ball would do as the club would dig right down into the soft mud under the ball. If you were just a hair fat the ball would either come well short or would take off low like a rocket knuckle ball flier, and you didn’t have to do anything different to the swing, it’s all because the mud wouldn’t engage the bounce of the iron. Terrible stuff.

The greens were also way too soft, too wet. They rolled mostly decent, but due to thr inconsistency of the moisture, the speed varied greatly. So many ballmarks all around, as you would expect. Giant ballmarks on landing.

The bunkers though….. LA City courses have nicer, playable bunkers than this! And cheaper. It’s not worth it right now to play here.
