This course is ok.

As before on other occasions to this golf course, they were behind on their T-box times. We went off 25 minutes after our designated t-time.

Too slow

Short par 4 hole#1, and #2 means some duches want to drive it for one-on.. Well 99% of people who try will fail but they still wait for group infront to clear.. Which means 30+ min wait on the first tee.

Sloooow play!

Staff was nice. Nice greens! Play was super slow, too many 5 somes going out. Groups ahead of us not playing "ready play golf". No Marshall's on course to enforce and move play along. We weren't able to finish before dark

This course is a typical city course that gets tons of daily play.

I think it is awful that I paid what I did for a course that had sanded greens. Without any prior notice.

Decent course. Very unorganized

The course was in decent condition. Sandy greens and a bit chunked up. Not terrible though.

The guys running the starting were very disorganized. NO STARTER so we had people walking on in front of us while we were waiting for a cart. We actually started 30 minutes late on our tee time which caused us to not be able to finish the course. 3 HOLES SHORT!

Cheap course, plays pretty easy, slow, Good Times.

Good value for a public course

While there are a few pristine public courses in nearby Orange County, Los Angeles is lacking. Long Beach public courses are among the best value in the area. Rec Park is a great place for a mid week round, but be sure you're not in a hurry. Open fairways are great for the average golfer, with small greens making it still challenging.
