Skylinks Golf Course

Course was in fair shape. Some areas were over watered and played soft, other areas were very dry and bounced really hard, so it was difficult to judge how to hit off it and to see what would happen to the ball when it landed. Same with the greens. Some were way quicker than the others as they were cut more than others. No real consistency. Just made for a difficult day of golf. The bunkers were the same, some were still quite wet and heavy and others dried out the crusty even through late into the back 9 holes.

It’s a bit pricey for what it is.

I booked a round for three people and it said cart was included. When I got to the course they charged us an additional $15.00 per person cart fee on top of the $40.00 per person fee I already paid online through golf now. It clearly stated cart was included on the app. Very sneaky and manipulative. The employee at the course told me I shouldn’t book on golf now. Not a very good partnership between golf now and Skylinks. Skylinks should embrace golf now for it gives them exposure to golfers that might not know about their course. Not very happy about this, they should get on the same page.

This course would be great to play if not for the condition of the sand traps. there are multiple traps on most holes that are impossible to get out of because. there is very little sand in them.

Played this maybe 3 weeks ago and it was in pretty good condition. Now it's brown everywhere. Might be some sort of grass disease. Bald spots on the fairway. Wet muddy spots near the greens. Probably won't play this for a few months until others report better conditions.

Special thanks to all the staff who are allowing the golfers to get back out there. Conditions, pace of play, and whatever else ppl are complaining about right now is irrelevant

Course in good shape and pace of play very good. Good thing it was as marshall came out and told us we needed to leave by 3:30 due to a 4pm curfew that was just created due to the rioting and looting. We teed off at 11:30 and finished at 3:15.

Course is shorter, but designed to still be interesting. Pace of play was average, but never had to wait too long. Some very interesting characters on the course though...

Played a four ball on a weekday at 1330 and was expecting a long round going on previous reviews. It turned out to be a very pleasant four hours as the pace of play was excellent. The condition of the course was very good too. Tee boxes and greens 4.5/5, fairways a bit hard and slightly parched but not surprising given the lack of rain. The layout is excellent with some interesting doglegs and bunkering. The greens were in very good condition although not particularly quick today. I was really impressed by Skylinks and thought it a bit of a bargain at $50. I'll definitely be back!

So I have to say, I was very excited that our Long Beach courses are finally back open. I was especially looking forward to the courses being in great condition given the six week layoff. At Skylinks, the greens were in good shape, although ran a little slower than they usually do on account of needing to be mown. Fairways were in great shape with minimal divots as expected. My biggest complaint, has to be the complete disregard from the maintenance crew with regard to the bunkers. The bunkers have clearly not received any attention for at least the last couple of months. I understand with the Covid restrictions that we cannot leave rakes in the bunkers. However I see no reason for the bunkers to be nearly unplayable due to the lack of attention. I was also quite disappointed with the length of the rough. It had clearly not been mown in a couple of weeks despite the course being closed which is just unacceptable. Skylinks is usually in fantastic condition, so the aforementioned disappointments were surprising. Hopefully the superintendent and maintenance staff are planning to remedy these problems in the near future.

Course in very good shape. Rough was very long and no sand in bunkers. Other than that, awesome round. Only 3 and a half hours!

Tee’d off 9:30 Rip the starter was super cool set us off early. I felt cringeworthy on how bad the conditions were yesterday. Dead dirt spots on green fringes and fairways are so dry you get an extra 80 yard rollout (not complaining) . Slow greens with prolly 10 unfixed divots per green. Tee boxes were in good shape. Pace was 4 1/2hrs. Very normal could be fast to some. Average round here 5hrs. I Play here often and would say it needs some TLC from both players and course maintenance.

FIX YOUR DIVOTS

For $80/round, the course conditions are not what they should be. Fairways were bare and greens were inconsistent. The first green looked like it hadn’t been cut in a few days.

Nice course, good fairways and greens. Occasional tee box could be in a better condition. Surprised to see groups of 5 that slowed play down but understand that is common in California.

We needed to rent several sets and despite having called twice about that in advance it wasn't ready but the staff fixed that quickly with a smile.

Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Got a Hot deal on Golf Now for 35$. Fairways and Greens are decent... Greens could be improved... It played 5 hours on a typical Wednesday... There are better options around.
