I Recommend This Course
Unexpectedly nice
I was stuck on 405 on Friday driving home jumped off freeway and stumbled in about 5 in afternoon sunset was about 6:45. Walked straight on and walked front nine. Great course some surprising elevation that I never expected. Very typical la municipal course stuff, the rough is thick and kikuyu can be trickery to get out. Bunkers could use more sand. I really enjoyed the course and will be back.

Asked by starter to share golf cart with stranger when there’s plenty available
I was not too thrilled when asked to share golf cart with a stranger as many carts were available. It’s inconvenient to him for a young guy to wait for me at least 2 stops every hole except par 3’s. Plus, I like to play at my own pace without being rushed to his ball.

Greens on the front nine were very pitted and spongy. Fairways were pretty beat up and the rough was grown out. Basically, typical LA Muni golf.

Slow pace of play
Tee time 12:24, no cart at time of check in. Which meant all of them were out. Pace of play so bad, our group of 4 was back up several times, behind 2 other groups.

Awful Pace of Play
If there is to be an ambassador who’s job is to regulate pace of play and all course activities, he should be doing so throughout the entirety of the day. Not just sitting at hole 1 for hours on end awaiting for someone to “give him a call” as he put it when I finally saw him on the 15th hole. 5hrs and 35min was my round duration with a group of 5 (which isn’t supposed to be allowed) in front of my group. I will not be coming back here.
