This course is beautiful but the pace of play is very slow

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.

Great Venue!

There is probably no better value in local golf than Los Verdes! With the condition of the greens, the course layout, and the ocean views, you really get your money's worth of enjoyment. I will be coming back very soon! Thank you

Lovely death march...

First the positives: beautiful views, very good conditions for a muni and some pretty decent holes as well.

The bad: 5somes, allows people who clearly can't hit their drive over 150yds to play from the tips, didn't see one ranger/marshal the entire time.

I hear if you show ~6am you can get a normal round on but on weekends it is just the worst. Took us 6.5 hours and waited up to 20 minutes on some holes. How they can't seem to make this better is sad. Rancho isn't exactly a 3hr round but they keep things pretty tight and will not tolerate what seems to pass as normal here.

Great Weather, Good Golf

Great time getting a round in. I hadn't played in 2 years. My only complaint was trying to get a tee time. the kids upfront was " Too Busy"

We ended up booking on Golfnow. All went well.

Great layout but sloooooow

Good greens and the course was in OK shape hard fairways.The pace of play was horrible definitely not worth the wait,too bad because the scenic views were awesome.This is a county course so it will be busy,but the starters do a terrible job regulating the play.Won't play here again.

Pace of play

Golf course is excellent specially the green.The only problem I have is that so many players are so slow.I was not able to finish this course..I started at 2:00 .About six PM.I only up to # 10 hole. That's how slow playing people in front of me.The Marshal not there to speed up the game.I decided to quit playing at 11 hole.Please keep the pace of play.

Terrible tee time management.

Over 6 hours and never made it past the 16th hole. One of my favorite courses but not sure I will go due to waiting 30 minutes or longer to tee off per hole and then waiting ten minutes or more between shots. Such a let down that know Los Angeles county course can choose money over pace of play.

Sad to say

This is a scenic view ocean course but that the only positive. The management books 5somes and allows walkers. They also habitually over book so tee times are negatively effected and the pace of play is a geriatric 6+ hours... if you're lucky. If you're serious about golf don't waste your time here. The 19th hole facilities are old and look it. The updated driving range was severely damaged by a recent rain storm so the western section needs to be repaired. Sadly, none of this is exaggerated.

Pure torture

They overbooked so tee times were late as usual. They book five in a group and allow walkers so the pace of play is a geriatric 6+ hours for 18 holes. Worst pace of play in SoCal. If you want to play golf don't bother with this course. If you want a slow leisurely day with beautiful views and are willing to pay $50 to wait for it then this is your course.

We had a 12:22 tee reservation that ran late into a 1:15 tee off. It took another 3.5 hours to finish nine holes. Went to number ten and there were three groups waiting in front of us with a fourth group on the green. We didn't finish. Pure torture. A disgrace to course management in my opinion.

You don't want to play here on the weekend

This is a course with very nice view. Except for that, the condition of the course is not that great. Poor maintenance. I think it's because it's busy most of the time. The course arranged 5 some group on most of the groups that day. it makes the pace EXTREMELY SLOW. We spent almost 6 hours but only finished 14 holes. There were two groups waiting in front of us in one of the par 3 hole .....

Longest 16 Holes Ever

This course is very scenic but the beauty was lost early when we continued with 20 minute waits off of each tee. You can see how golf is losing the younger generation when it takes 51/2 to 6 hours to play 16 holes. We played only 16 because we ran out of daylight

Los Verdes

The course was in great shape. Greens were moderately quick, fairways were well tended, and the views were priceless. Pace of play was quite nice; our round of 18 was less than 5 hours. I highly recommend this course.

Pace of Play...

I played this wonderful course many times over.
But, somethings never change...
The pace of play, I understand, when you decide to play this course your mind automatically sets into
"PATIENCE" But, it gets bid frustrating...

SlooooooooooooooooooW!!!

In the 4 times that I've played at , weekend and weekday, we've been backed up minimum 1 group, maximum 4 groups. The fastest I've played here was 4:45. The longest was 5:30. I have vowed never to return, but somehow, my friends keep talking me into it. Admittedly, the scenic views are amazing, but I'm there to play golf, not look at the ocean, or Catalina Island.

An ocean view course

Okay, admittedly I only play here once a year around Thanksgiving. And, that probably happens to be the busiest day (it seems that way). But, I am mentally prepared for a long game and settle in for the ride and the view.

The course isn't anything to brag about. A bit of elevation change, few dog legs here and there, reachable par 4, long par 3s, minimal water in play, no surprises on the course... But, what about that view? Trump down the street charges over $200. And, I get to see the Pacific Ocean for around $50? That's a steal. This course is a hidden jewel and should be enjoyed as such. Unfortunately, the locals that are spoiled by seeing this course routinely can only focus on the slowness of the play. Well, I'm from the desert so this stuff is pretty fantastic. Yeah, go play this course. The view of Catalina and the breaching whales in the spring during migration is pretty awesome. And, you're golfing.

yummy

I really enjoyed myself playing this golf course. all the greens were soft and I found them easy to putt on and easy to read. bunkers were all about the same and the fairways were nicein some spots but consisting lumpy in some spots but consisting overall. I enjoyed my lunch there I had a club sandwich and french fries was delicious and the staff was friendly. overall I would have to say that this will be a course I would recommend to any friend or family member.

Rhode Islanders were visiting

I used to live in PV and enjoyed your track often. Quite frankly the pace of play for the first five holes was sickening. But then when we call the pro shop we are advised that there are continual delays between 3 and 5 and quite frankly it did sprea out a bit on the back. Suggest you advise new players that there will be a traffic jam at those holes so they don't get frustrated and want to kill each other or other golfers. Conditions were moderate 2 weak in some areas but you can't beat the view as you know. price was fair. In Rhode Island we would say you had a lot of mamalukes out there. PS. Golf cart died on 16. Brake lock.

Even when it's fast, it's slow.

There are not too many places where one can play a round and have an ocean view like here. Truly spectacular! A moderately challenging layout, with wide fairways. Large greens in good shape, some with moderately difficult breaks. The playing pace is always slow. Did I mention the playing pace is real slow!!! A fast round is about 5 hours... Forget about a 4 hour round. An average weekend round will typically take 6 1/2 hours... Really!
