Los Verdes Golf Course

I’m not quite sure how this course is so slow. The course is in desperate need of a ranger or two to speed up the pace of play. 6+ hours for a round is unacceptable.

I love Los Verdes’ layout. Good mix of long/short 4’s and 3’s with reachable 5’s. There a few wonky holes (#9 in particular) but overall It’s a fun and challenging course. Now with regards to pace of play, I think I may have finished 2-3 rounds out of 10 here because it was just moving too slowly. They send out fivesomes and I believe their times are every 8 min? That’s a recipe for disaster. Rounds are routinely 5 1/2 to 6 hours which is a shame because the course is good with great views on the back 9. For one of the busiest courses in the LA area they do keep it pretty good condition. There are some bare spots here and there but I’ve always thought the greens were very good. You can get a round in around 4-4.5 hrs if you play really early. Weekends are tough no matter what but if you can get out before 7am you enjoy the course.

Course is in great shape. Greens were lightning quick. Shot 85 and took title in the group. Played in 4hr 40min.

Course has beautiful ocean views, challenging greens. Unfortunately it has slowest pace of play in Southern California. We had almost a 6 hour round on a Tuesday morning. Course Ambassador marshals did nothing about a very, very slow group two holes ahead of us. We only saw an Ambassador once on the third hole and he obviously did nothing about the pace of the slow group.

I had guests in from Michigan and we all loved the course and overall feel for the course. Greens are in great shape and the course is very less experienced golfer friendly!

Weather as gloomy and wet which may have influenced even slower play. Took all of 6 hours to play as every group is a 5-some. If you’re not in a hurry, this is my favorite course in LA.

I'm always torn playing here. It's got some beautiful holes and vistas but you can never get into a rhythm with a pace of play around 5 to 6 hours depending on the day of week. Always a wait for 1-2 groups after every hole and usually around a 5-10 minute wait after every shot. 5 somes are standard crammed as close as possible. Start times are rarely on time and forget about the weekend. Bring a good book and zen mediation techniques to help your patience because you're in for a long day. On the plus side, the staff are friendly but at the end of the day, you are in southern California where the population far exceeds the public course availability. Just like the nonstop grueling traffic on the 405, this course is a microcosm of LA life. If you can accept that or are numb to it, then you'll be fine playing here. But if you're used to steady golf in other cities or private clubs at a pace of 4-4.5 hours, this will be a more disappointing experience. In the crazy hot matrix, this is probably in the danger zone.

Staff is useless, I saw the ambassador a total of zero times while on the course. unless you’re out there to drink and just hangout don’t go because you won’t be playing a lot of golf

This play will over put 10 groups in a 30 min window of tee times and expect you to be ok with waiting 45 min after your original tee time in a long line. It’s terrible, a beauty of a property but Jesus these people just want the money and don’t give a f&@k about the experience. I’ve never had a golf cart that has got through all 18 holes, I’ve never finished the round happy with how it went. I always leave frustrated and wondering why I even drove up here. Won’t be going back!

Tee time was at 1:45p we were not able to tee off until 2:15 due to a children’s golf camp. The fact groups are waiting for the 10 kids to go through the lessons and shots. . Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great thing to have children engaged in the sport. It’s not the kids who are to blame for the lack of keep any kind of pace. Maybe the staff could be honest with the patrons and tell them exactly what they are going to be faced with for the first nine holes. Possibly the groups and the class tee times can be spread out a bit to help with the congestion.

Slow slow slow. Cart broke down twice. Took an hour to get a replacement cart. Guy working the pro shop was horrible. Didn’t even apologize for the cart breaking down or the hour long wait to get a new cart. Do not play here!!!!!
