Fun and local

Greatest local course in west LA. While the grounds aren’t country club level, the greens are well maintained and everything’s clean. As a bonus, a pack of coyotes live just off the 10th hole and will watch you as you play. Really like this course. Not too hard yet challenging enough.

Prepare for delay

Course was severely over packed. I had a 9:30 tee time and was not able to tee off until 10:15. Following this 45 minute delay of course pace of play was horrible roughly waiting 5-10 minutes each hole to tee off. We completed the front 9 in 4 hours. This was not my first time at this course, I came back in hopes conditions would be better. Unfortunately that was not the case and you will more than likely suffer this same situation each and every time you go. Definitely not a great course to be waiting all that time. For $70 you can find better alternatives

Bad greens, slow pace, terrible inefficiencies in check in shop

This course has always had the bones of a good layout but the greens are continually overly soft, slow, bumpy. They put out 8min tee times which means the course is continuously packed with long rounds and waiting every hole. But the worst thing about this course by far is the fact that there is constantly a large line in the pro shop to pay for the round or buy range balls/merch/gear. The reason is simple: You're NOT allowed to check in and pay any earlier than 15minutes before your tee time meaning you have to wait in line and pay twice if you are getting range balls. The lines were so large and frustrating that we showed up an hour early and didn't even get to warm up with range balls as I gave up in the first attempt at the line. Solutions are simple and will significantly improve the customer experience.

slowest. round. EVER

WE had a noon-ish tee-time on Saturday and braced for slow pace but wow. the course was so crowded that we were averaging about 2.5-3 holes per hour. waited on EVERY SINGLE hole 10-15 minutes. No marshall on course to regulate play. On hole#2 par3, there was a backup of 5 groups! how is that possible? people playing from the wrong tee-box spraying balls into next tee-box/fairway - very dangerous especially for walkers. 9 holes took almost 4 hours. Bald patches on some of the fairway, good greens though but people not fixing divots, so probably temporary... sand traps were actually mud troughs. I would seriously avoid playing this course ever again - a waste of time and money.

Ridiculously slow play

Nice layout, but the pace of play was way too slow., so I won’t play here again. Space out the tee times!
