Worst Long Beach Course
Big Rec used to be one of my favorite courses but not anymore! The last few times playing there it has gotten progressively worse. Granted the greens had just been punched so can’t hold that against them but overall conditions are bad. Trash everywhere on course, a lot of bare spots in fairways and they are water excessively causing muddy conditions. ElDorado and Skylinks remain in good shape but for some reason Big Rec needs a lot of help!
Course under upgrades
Greens heavily punched and sanded. Areas around green punched with significant tractor marks. Many muddy sections with deep tire ruts around greens making it impossible to play competitively. It will be a month or more before the course is in decent shape.
Late in the season, course conditions show
I've played here about ten times this year and each time the conditions worsen. Pro shop is cool, starter is really hit or miss (depends on who's there). Bathrooms on the course are usually nasty.
Slow play
Might want to change tee times and spread out time between to improve play time. Too much waiting for group in front. They also were waiting so it wasn’t that they played slow.
Great until the locals…..
Really fun round with some friends. Unfortunately on the last few holes, we got heckled by some shirtless, barefoot golfers While we were swinging.
Rec 18
All good except there are two hole number 5's (par 3). No signage or directive from staff as to which was in play.
Not my favorite course
Too many long par fours not reachable in two, especially with the wind; rough was a killer; greens did not hold; too hilly of a course
