Packed, Overpriced and in bad condition

First couple times I played here were great! Felt like it was a hidden gem. But now I’m seeing what the course is really worth. Started 40 minutes past our tee time, every par 3 had 4 groups waiting to tee off. Rough was ROUGH! Needs to be mowed more than once every 2 weeks! Greens were just punched 2 weeks ago but somehow they’re already brown and dead? Terrible course management and for $67 I shouldn’t be having a 6 HOUR ROUND! MIGHT AS WELL PLAY ALONDRA PARK IF YOU WANNA WASTE SOME MONEY

No warning of punched greens!

I have played here a number of times over the past couple years. Unfortunately it’s in a steep decline. From the course to the cafe it’s all falling apart. Very sad.

COULD BE SO GOOD

Went out early to avoid the 6 hour round. I’ve played this course before and thought it would be the move to get around faster since this track is notoriously slow. Why could this course be so good? It’s a cool layout and the greens are what protects it. The greens are VERY small so why not take care of them? Understand this place gets a ton of play but it’s weird that they don’t even try and take care of it. Rough was 4” high. Lawnmower? Anyone? Slope from the blues is 112 with a 73 rating. This isn’t even close to correct. This course should have a rating of 72 with a slope of at least 120. So think about it. WHAT IF they took care of the greens, cut the rough and bought some sand? Would be a jewel in South Los Angeles. It’s not though and that’s a shame.

Worth it

Course was well maintained.

Rough was a bit longer and stronger than expected, but not bad.

$57 with cart is way worth it.

WORST MANAGED COURSE EVER

Don't expect much here, used to be very fun, now it's overrun and overcrowded and they nickel and dime you as much as possible.

Greens are decent, layout is decent, track is usually average condition, but the service is PURE TRASH.

Stay away!!

Not having enough carts is a joke. They over book the tee times. Rude arrogant staff that doesn’t care. I’ve honestly never seen anything like it. Can’t believe they’re still in business
