One of the best public courses in Southern California

Usually amazing pace, course conditions are usually very good. Always recommend using a colored ball on the first tee if it goes left towards the driving range. Easy to get food and drink before your round or at the turn. Fair price as long as it’s fully recovered. Like many other courses in the area they will charge full rate when the course hasn’t fully healed from maintenance.

Bumpy greens

For a municipal course, it's in pretty decent shape. I wish the tee boxes were a little more flat as some were a bit uneven and hard to get a good balance. The greens were a bit bumpy ...not sure when they aerated but didn't see much signs of it being recently aerated. Overall it's a nice course and I would play it again.

First Time Playing

The first hole is unplayable

The first hole is placed along side the driving range so the fairway is filled with range balls. This makes it hard to find your ball
