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.

Good times

Everything is fine except the lack of golfers not fixing their divots. Wish there was more sand traps throughout the course but I suck so it'll do. Also have to love the benches at every tee pad.

Great practice course

Laid out a little tight. Tee from mats. Short holes and nice greens. A good time.

You get what you pay for

Overall solid experience when you consider the price point. Don't expect to have your socks blown off by value, but don't expect to feel cheated either. It is a decently maintained public course thats great for an hour or two of quick par-3 golf. It gets the job done, no more, no less.

The location was a little hard to find since the streets wind around and Apple and Google Maps don't navigate you directly to the parking lot. The course itself was pleasant and dry (no muddy areas).

Classic PItch N putt

This place hasn't changed in 40 years. Still fun to practice the short game, learn or teach beginners. Driving range was wide open with lots of yardage targets. Not every green is puttable but it is what it is. I play the whole course with a PW, 52 wedge and putter. Some of the funky breaking greens make it interesting but great for target practice of you 100-110yd approach shots.

a great way to tune up your short game

Aroyo Seco is a top-shelf par 3 course, great for your mid-short game, so leave the woods in the car and stick with everything from your 7-iron up. Greens are really well kept and very challenging with tough reads and undulating terrain. The course is very sweet with a babbling brook running through the middle of it and plenty of trees to Mickelson your game. Give yourself three-plus hours to get round. A great morning or afternoon course. I'll be back.

This course is not following la county covid guidelines

They don’t care about keeping customers safe. We were sandwiched in between 2 foursomes. Signs everywhere that say wear a mask or you will be asked to leave. Not one person wearing a mask, Yelling and drinking. We voiced our concerns and they did nothing. Felt unsafe so we left after the 4th hole. All they offered was a refund of $6. Never going here again.
