Los Verdes Golf Course

This course is well known for nice ocean view but slow pace. This time the pace was extremely slow probably because of weekend play.

However, the weather was perfect and the view was really nice.

Pace of play was and has always been terrible. There were 12 people on the par 3 tees waiting.

Please get out there and push the slow players!

It took us over 3 hours to complete the first nine and we left after nine.

Los Verdes is an amazing course that I grew up playing. Most have very varying views on this course and it can really be what you want it to be to you. If you are in a rush, play the back 9 and have a fun 90 minutes with great views and good golf.

The course is pretty challenging because you need to know the landing areas and also the elevation changes, and not to mention the ocean break on most the greens.

Overall, for a municipal course, the conditions are very good, especially for the amount of play it gets. The staff is super friendly and nice, the range is well kept and the greens are immaculate ....oh and when they aerate they do half the greens at a time too!

Overall a great experience if you get out early enough to avoid the 6 hour round (which is becoming less and less often here!) and you bring your a game! Good times!

Its a bery nice golf course, the layout and greens are great.

Staff is great!

But the speed is ridiculous!!! 6 h for a round of golf

This is my home course, and one of my favorite places to play. Beautiful course, and for the price I have no reason to complain at all. I will simply state a fact that the fastest I have played this course is 5 hours. It is usually a 5.5-6 hour round. They send out a lot fivesome groups. However, for the low prices, at such a course I truly don't mind. Just plan around that when booking here. Use the time between shots to soak in the views, relax, and enjoy the day.

If you have an entire day for golf, go see this place. The views on the back nine are fantastic...if you ever get that far. There were three groups of beginners in front of us that insisted on playing the ball "where it lies" which meant a lot of three foot advancing. We only got 15 holes of play in almost 6 hours. Pathetic!!!

The staff was super nice and tried to encourage them to move the ball to a more playable spot, but they were insistent on being jerks about it. I doubt I will go back anytime soon.

There were a few groups of 5 out on the course and they were causing several line ups to wait at some of the holes. Pace of play was really slow!! And if you play in the afternoon remember to bring a jacket of some sort as it got really cold around 4pm.

Don't wast your money. This place looks like a cow pasture with some nice greens. They claim they won an award in 2011 which is probably the last time they did any real course maintenance. It was dirt and weeds for the most part. The little bit of what might be considered fairway was very patchy and in rough condition.

Course is in good shape but very slow to play. Tee off time was 50 minutes behind schedule. Makes you wonder how many extra bookings were accommodated to put us that far behind. Teams of 5 should not be allowed when it's that busy. Seems to be the norm here. Will be looking at other comparable courses from now on.

Pace of play is the only real negative at this course. We teed off 30 minutes later then our booked tee time. Every group that I saw was a fivesome, and as a result we didn't didn't get to finish our round. A guy in our group said a 5-6 hour round is not uncommon. Good thing you have the beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean to occupy your time

The slow play detracts from all the positives. Sending out groups of five, T-times spaced too closely and waving up groups on the par threes all contribute to a six hour round. If you can put up with waiting on every shot, all other aspects of the course are great. Spectacular views!

This is a spectacular course which could easily be called "Pebble Beach Lite". The layout is varied and challenging. Being able to shape your drives will be a real advantage as many of the holes have significant slopes which will penalize a hook or a slice hit at the wrong time. The greens are in good condition for a public course but the slopes and breaks make them particularly challenging. I would love to play this course again and again if only for the scenery but I won't unless I bring along something to read between shots because the pace of play is painfully slow. My round went just under SIX (6) hours. There wasn't a marshall in sight. The group ahead of me seemed to move appropriately so it must have been a group somewhere ahead of them. I suspect that they simply allow too many fivesomes with insufficient gaps between tee off times. With fivesomes, they need at least a 10 minute gap between tee times. I teed off at 11:30 am and finished at 5:20 pm in fading light. Coming in from Santa Monica, I faced a one hour drive home so it pretty well took up the entire day. I love golf but that's too much time.

This was one of the slowest rounds I have ever played, can't believe they allow fivesomes and they walk the course. Great view, but that's it.

Would only recommend during the week as weekend play was 6 hour round...ugh-

I am very disappointed with the tee time booking. Twice we had 1 hour delay and was not able to finish 18 holes. I noticed the starter had preferrential treatments for certain customers. They walked in and got the tee time ahead of us and we got pushed back behind them. Players were extremely slow on the putting green as I am guessing they were betting money. I have been warned about that but wanted to give it a try. I will not come back and will not recommend this course. You can book your tee time but you will not know when you can get on. You are at the mercy of the starter.
