Horribly Long Grass

The grass was way to thick. There were foursomes all over the course looking like search parties in search of wayward golf balls, which had a impact on the slow pace of play. Here’s an idea, cut the grass!!!!

Greed

Tee times 8 minutes apart equals a recipe for disaster.

We teed off 15 minutes after our scheduled tee time (7:20am tee time). 5 1/2 hour round. No surprise hear. Pace of play on the weekends has been horrendous at this course for the past 2 years.

If they spaced out the tee times, say 15 minutes apart, that would be amazing. Probably will never happen because they just want to get as many people on the course as possible because… money.

Greens were bumpy. Rough grass was longer than most local public courses.

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
