Course Highlights
Arroyo Seco's well-maintained fairways, immaculate greens, and mature shade trees make this par-3 layout a surprisingly rewarding challenge. Friendly staff, affordable pricing, and amenities like a lit driving range and putting green round out a strong value.

Challenging Greens and No Wind.

Enjoyed my first round of golf at Arroyo. It was a windy Santa Ana Advisory day everywhere in Socal but in the Arroyo it was Clam, Clear and not many golfers. Greens were the Biggest Challenge and the Staff was Fantastic. Looking forward to Round Two!

Arroyo Seco Golf

Had a great time sharing this course with friends learning the game. It's a good course to learn on and practice your short game for more experienced players. Tee shots you'll be hitting of mats in fair condition. I was surprised the greens where very good condition.

We didn't use off-course amenities.

Friendly

Arroyo is much like a comfortable watering hole; the people are friendly, the course is fun, and it’s a great place to play after warming a little up on the driving range.

Poor Day at Arroyo

Today was a pretty bad day. The pace of the course has gotten slower and slower and seems with this the tee times need to be decreased. We ended up leaving after the 14th. For a par 3 course being there 3 hours and barely getting to 14 holes seemed a little long. Hard to get into a rhythm.

First Time Playing

Quick 18 on a work day.

I took inauguration day off to catch an early round - I was the 1st to tee off at 7am and finished playing a 2 ball scramble myself in 1:45. Greens were in nice shape, but most of the holes are 100 yd to 125 yes and not much variation. I'd probably only play here again if I wanted a quick round..

Some people are idiots

Wish the course would take action when people don’t fix their divots and block up the rate of play. Other than that it’s a good course
