Arroyo Seco Golf Course

Nice Greens and Lush Fairways for this little 3 Par.

Pace of Play Great. Took about 2 Hours to complete 18 Holes with a few Mulligans in between since not many golfers behind us. Played on a Friday at 11:30A. Bring own Water, no Amenities sold there.

They load up the course almost criminally. It took nearly 5 hours to finish this little Par 3 course.

The Arroyo Seco Golf Course is pleasant 18 hole par 3 muni owned by the City of South Pasadena. It is popular for its open, tree lined fairways, it's small no-bunker greens, and for it being lighted for night play. Unfortunately the City of South Pasadena doesn't seem to value what it has because the golf course and its amenities suffer from neglect and lack of investment. The coffee shop hasn't reopened. The bathrooms smell badly. They have let the practice putting green get overgrown and shrink, and they don't cut holes on the practice green anymore either. It still offers a reasonable driving range and the mini-golf still attracts teen couples and families. But, it is a far cry from what it once was.

This course is excellent for beginners and for golfers who wish to polish their short game skills. The greens are not easy, they have challenging slopes which demand accuracy. The overall look and feel of the course is great, the staff is really helpful and the range is perfect. The people that come here respect the game and respect the course. There were no people with beer cans in their hands and loud radios on their carts. My brother and I always have a greate time here.

$20+ is simply way too much for this course when compared to the alternatives.

Overall great. However the bathrooms are a disaster and the cafe really needs to open up again for this to have off course amenities.

The golf course was well maintained the only issue I had was that the holes were too short, the longest hole I believe was about 218 yards.

Played this course for the first time and it is a great value for working on your short game.
