Renewed Course

I love the new golf carts. Staff was very friendly. Kinda hectic at first as it seems like there was a bunch of confusion. Which caused some delays. Pace of play was terrible. However being the holiday it’s understandable. The change of management really helped.

Average course

Great course and hole layout. Some greens need some work done, lots of ball marks. Went during The Weeknd, so would expect slow play, but course ambassador should have pushed people to keep up the pace, we couldn’t finish all 18

This place fell bad.

I used to live in the area and learned to play here. Now this course has really regressed. The pro shop is very empty, and the staff is here just for a paycheck. No real golf people work here and it’s obvious.

We had a 3:15 time, with an entire tee sheet available on GolfNow. We arrive and the place is backed up and we’re told they’re 20 minutes behind. They just apparently let any walk ups go out, without assigning them times or spacing them appropriately. No carts available either. My last time here for sure.

Great place to Dial in

You pretty much use every club in the bag to dial in your game.

Much Improved

Course improvements are going in the right direction. Since replacing course management in March the course is looking so much better. Greens and fairways are much improved. The rough around the greens is also maintained. Still need to improve tree line and boundaries with weeding and removing fallen or hanging branches as this would make the course look worthy of the cost for an executive course.

Great conditions, awesome staff.

This was my second time playing El Cariso. The course conditions are nearly perfect. From my understanding, they hired a new Landcape Manager, who has turned this course into one of LA’s best Municipal courses.

The staff are very welcoming. Sometimes those golf pro’s will stare at you and judge when you’re in the pro shop. Not the case here. Everyone was so friendly that I just wanted to hangout.

It was a 99° Tuesday afternoon, but there were probably 5 other groups out there. My buddy and I played 36 holes in 4.5 hours.

One of my favorite

I like everything at this course. Small adjustment could be to have ice boxes to keep drinks cool

New management not up to speed

Too many players piled up.

Nice new golf carts but there seem to be a shortage.

Too much grace time given to incomplete foursomes caused us to tee off one hour late.

There were no food and beverage options because they decided to not open that day.
