Take care of the course
The course was in horrible condition, especially the greens, the slowest I’ve ever played on. Bartender was friendly, not so friendly in the pro shop
Greens
The greens we’re in bad shape looked like they were redoing them lots of sand all over them
Really Enjoyable
Not the toughest course but fun mix of long and short holes. Tee boxes were beautiful, fairways pretty nice and greens nice to play on!
Great day
Great day great game the only issue was the dirt patches around the course
Fun little muni, Painfully slow
Good layout. Good conditions. Fun people. 6 hour round on a short course. Ugh.
Major Red Flag
El Cariso Golf Course in Sylmar is a true hidden gem. The course itself is stunning, with well-kept greens, a great layout, and one of my favorite holes—number 11. The café hits the spot, and the outdoor staff clearly work hard to keep the experience enjoyable.
But what’s happening behind the counter is unacceptable, and it’s time it gets called out loud and clear.
I’ve now seen multiple reports—and experienced it myself—of outdoor workers being yelled at and humiliated in front of customers by front desk staff. Let that sink in: workers who keep the course running are being publicly disrespected and abused by the very people who should be supporting them.
The worst offenders? A red-haired cashier with a nasty attitude and an older man who’s supposedly a “supervisor,” though he acts more like someone who’s completely given up on life and takes it out on everyone around him. His behavior is unprofessional, toxic, and disgraceful. Whoever gave him a leadership position clearly did zero due diligence.
This isn’t just poor management—it’s hostile, demoralizing, and embarrassing for a facility as beautiful as El Cariso.
If there’s any accountability left in this operation, I urge whoever runs this course to step in and clean house. Staff should be respected. Customers should feel welcomed. And leadership should actually lead—not bully.
Until this issue is addressed, it casts a dark shadow over an otherwise amazing place. You can have the best course in the world, but if it’s being run by people who treat others like dirt, it means nothing.
Do better, El Cariso. The community is watching.
