It is what it is
It is a fun little course, but pace of play can be super slow and the regulars blast music from there carts
Playing a good round of golf
Pace was a little slow because I was by myself but the threesome asked if I wanted to join them which was nice of them ,and the pace was not a factor anymore.
Nice course
Nice course, on the short side but fun. A few of the holes can be interesting with narrow fairways and blind tee shots. All around a great value and fun course.
I've played all over California and this course is a hidden gem!!!
Saturday play...no wait, no slow play, wide open course.
What a great experience!!!
Nice executive course
This is a nice executive course. It offers par 3 and par 4 holes. The layout is interesting and there are sand traps, water features, doglegs, and some elevation changes. Greens are in good shape. It's a good place to work on your short game.
Changes with the course!
Been playing here for years and not sure what new management came through...but the course was great! Blue tees were actually placed at the back of the tee box where they should be. The greens were rolling very smooth with no dead/dry spots. And the pace of play was very quick (it was a very hot day with less people out on the course). But overall one of my best rounds/experience with El Cariso in the past 5-10 years.
Good Executive Course
I hadn't played in three months, and just wanted to knock off some rust. For late summer, I was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the course. The greens were in good shape, and held approach shots well.
This is an executive course, but I ended up using every club in my bag. If you play the blue tees, many of the par 3s are 180+ yards.
Minor changes
I honestly love this course. It’s short and challenging and the greens are in great shape. I have been playing there since I was 12 and now I’m 23. The only three things I would say that isn’t great is 1. The bunkers are rock hard and need to get some new sand and 2. The snack shop and all that has been shut down. It takes way too long to get some food from the upstairs bar/restaurant and 3. Range balls are getting a bit old. Time for new ones. I would honestly rate this course a 8/10.
Great Staff!!!
I havent played at El Cariso in years and honestly had no plans on returning. My brother booked a tee time this past weekend and we had a great time. For starters, there was a tournament that was going on right before our tee time so I was expecting a long round and a super late tee off. That was not the case at all, the front desk staffer was great in getting everyone out quickly and keeping everything in order. That really made the start to the round pleasant. Once we got out, everything moved pretty well and the course was kept up nicely, the beverage cart girl made multiple trips by us on both the front and back nine. The greens were rolling nice and it was a nice fun round of golf. I will certainly put El Cariso back on my list of fun courses to visit for a quick round of weekend golf.
Restaurant staff gets an A+ pro shop staff gets a C minus, they need to be a little more in tune with people that they do not know and stop showing favoritism to people that come to the course more often, my friend and I felt that we were pushed in line due to the fact of favoritism which should not be done on a public course
Needs work
Course was in OK shape, some of the greens had been punched again. Many fairways sparse on grass, but then again it is a public course.
