Recreation Park 18 Golf Course

Everybody at the course from the guy at the pro shop who checked us in and the person at the 1st hole whose assigning golf carts were all nice and corteous.

I love this course. It is in absolutely great shape and while it is relatively forgiving, it can also be very challenging. My only complaint is the lack of support from the Ambassadors. We were behind a group all day that ended up being almost two holes behind after 5 holes. They couldn't hit the ball more that 75 yards and took their tilme for every shot. Their on green pace was incredibly slow. The "ranger" did nothing. Drove our group crazy.

My son and I had a good time. Met some great people. Course is challenging but fun. Greens are fast. The pace was slow but we had a good time.

Hadn’t played big rec in years but drive by it every week. Was really unimpressed with the layout and repetitive hole feel. Club house shuts down super early as well so if you play twilight take advantage of the on course restrooms and bring your own food/drinks. Fine for the 30-40 range but when they charge 70+ for prime weekend items it’s not worth it.

Stop your money gouging and putting tee times too close together. The course was clogged the entire day. A round of golf shouldn’t take almost 6 hours. If you can’t make times work don’t make them available to the public. I love this course and grew up on this course. Stop ruining it for others by the slow pace of play. It is ridiculous.

Greens are pretty good, fairways are good, and the tee boxes are a bit used but seems like the regular out here. Course layout is nice, nothing too hard. Usually good pace but sometimes you can get held up pretty bad, mainly during twilight times. Overall a pretty nice course but a bit expensive.

I can only think of one criticism and that is that it seems to be “undersloped”. From the white tees there are numerous holes that are unreachable for someone who hits a lot of drives in the 180-190 yard area. The hills and the wind also lend to the course’s difficulty. In my opinion, a white slope rating of 4-5 points higher seems justified. I enjoyed the course.

Beautiful day, great course, decent pace, friendly staff

I’ve always enjoyed playing this course. It is long, open, and the greens are in excellent condition. The only negative is it was a 5 hour round. I believe we had one of the last tee times before twilight. We were almost 2 holes in front of the first twilight group. The round was so slow the first twilight group caught us at the turn.

I bought " Hot deal " $ 61.00

But you took $80.00 on my credit card.

What happen?

We mistakenly scheduled a Sunday tee time at Big Rec’s 18 hole course in Long Beach. The mistake was in believing that we could actually play in five hours or less. The Green’s were in excellent condition, the tea boxes could have used some maintenance, but the overwhelming issue was the pace of play. I would recommend this course to a friend, but not on a weekend.

Staff was awesome, pace a play was 3-50. Teed off @ 7am. Not bad for a holiday! Course was in great shape. Very green. Tee boxes were good except 1 or 2 were a little beat up. Sand was good. Fairways were lush & the greens were pure! We had a great time & hope to back soon.

Booked a 4pm tee time not expecting to get all 18 holes in. Pace of play was moving right along, and finished all 18 holes with plenty of daylight left at around 7:30pm.
