Rec 18
Pleasantly surprised by course conditions. Great fairways for a muni. Greens were super slow due to punching 2 weeks earlier. I’d expect then to be much better in 2-3 weeks. Fun track
Velcro slow greens
Cost $65 to play this dog track. Besides the fact the greens were half sand with huge holes in it the greens were slower than molasses in January. I want a refund.
Bad timing for me. Greens were slow and sandy
I’ll have to come back under different circumstances
Somewhere it should be mention greens are sanded
It should be half price when the greens are in that condition. It messes up your putting and once you have paid and show up it’s too late.
From a bogey golfer
Course overall is a bag of mixed feelings.
A couple short par 4s (280 yards) but then some really long par 4s (480 yards) . Theres a Par 5 that was the same yardage as the Par 4. Fairways and tee boxes I would say 6 out of 10.
The not worth were the greens. Patchy, bumpy, or in need of desperate repair. Would definitely play again, but only at twilight prices.
Really bad shape
Greens are the worst I’ve seen them in years lots of bare spots and recently sanded and plugged but also very shaggy. Fairways also very long. As well.
Poor greens
Most of greens has dead spots, very slow and bumpy. Need better maintenance.
Nice day
Decent course, although condition of tees and greens were not great. Would be a great candidate for a re-design some day.
Worst than Victoria Links
Fairways were typical of a public golf course. Tee boxes were bad. ABSOLUTELY THE WORST GREENS IVE EVER PUTTED ON. A just sanded green would be considered excellent compared to these greens. 75% of the greens were dirt and plug marks not fixed by other golfers. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT PLAY here. American golf does a horrible job of taking care of their golf courses. Balboa and Encino would be considered Belair and Riviera compared to this golf course.
Not good ATM
Course was in terrible shape. The worst the greens have ever been that I've seen
Beat
The tee boxes were mostly dirt. The fairways were full of holes. The greens were burnt. Haven’t played there in a few months. It has certainly changed significantly.
Confusion at the Course!
Purchased a Hot Deal for round of golf with cart included, paid through Golf Now app. When I checked in at Big Rec the pro shop guy says I owe for the cart, that they don’t honor the Golf Now postings of golf round and cart included?? He said Golf Now was offering things that weren’t legitimate. Please straighten this out!! Also I’ve played this course for 35 years and it’s in the worst shape I’ve every experienced, but it was still better than a day at work!
