Play El Dorado instead

The course has a lot of damage due to all the rain that was received in the past months. They recently punched the greens and it's taking a very long time to heal. The maintenance of the course is poor, the tee boxes are in bad shape. For the price I would rather play El Dorado Park.

Behind Early, Poor Service

The starter was not in control and this lead to a 10 minute delay to begin the round. Poor wait staff at the turn and no sight of the refreshment cart until hole 14. Most expensive muni course in Long Beach and doesn't feel like They want you back.

Bunkers

Lots of bunkers, should be called bunkerlinks...

Ball placement decision making is imperative here.

I love this course. Open fairways yet challenging holes.

Good course, very slow play for so early in the morning.

The greens are in good shape, although the early groups fail to fix ball marks. Fairways are reasonably good too with few bare spots. But why o' why does American Golf allow five-somes early in the morning?? When I tee off at 7 AM I expect to play faster than 4:15 to 4:30... and hate to wait on so many shots. Ruins what could be a very good experience.

Slow play

So slow! Tee'd off at 1 on Saturday and got through 14 before it got too dark. We waited at least 15 minutes between every shot. They ran out of carts, the driving range was completely full and the chipping green has one hole so one golfer already had his whole bucket all over it. Don't waste your day they already have more than enough golfers there.

Although I enjoyed what I saw of the course, the pace of play was awful. It took 3 hours and 10 minutes to play the front 9 on a Tuesday afternoon, which is completely unacceptable.

So Slow

Well beyond everything being slow, and the on course womens bathrooms not being clean or functional was OK. Six hour round waiting on every shot, at the turn even getting a beer and hot dog was slow. Of course no one to help with the slow play except the course "ambassador" who kept saying at least there are no terrorists. Who knows maybe a terriorist foursome would have speed up play.

Resort Style

Played Skylinks yesterday 8/1/16, the weather was perfect. Teed off at 5:00 and finished a little after 8:00. (no waiting until the 12th hole) I started playing there in the early 80s, have always enjoy playing there and since the remodel it has the feel of playing a resort course. For the price you will not find another comparable public course in the area.

Golf at Skylinks

When we checked in they were running a little behind and out of carts, but the starter was really nice and offerd us some range balls. I was a little disappointed in the course, I had never seen it this dry before and they use reclaimed water. Also, every par 3 was backed up 2-3 groups, wish there was a Marshall around, no beer cart working either. I sure hope they make some changes soon, hate to see what was a nice course fall by the wayside.

Worst round ever

Our group teed off @11:45. We got to the eighth hole @3 and waited 15 minutes to tee off on 9 and went home after that.

Nice course conditions but very slow pace of playing

It has been over one and half year or so since last time I played this course with my buddies. Got a good price this afternoon, so decided to give it a run.Pretty much like course conditions, excellent tee boxes from 1st to 18th, nice Bermuda fairways. Greens are still recovering from aerification.

But the pace of play was as slow as you could imagine, it took about 5 hrs and 40 minutes to finish a Friday afternoon round. And there is no course marshal to be spotted on the course to regulate the flow of plays, or mandate the course rules.

I would probably recommend this course to my buddies on Mondays-Thursdays only, definitively not Fridays. Weekends might be even tougher to finish a round under 6 hrs?

Very good course

Played with 3 friends and liked it, course condition was even better than my last time played here. Well maintained, and the green was a little slow. Booked hot deal from Golfnow.
