I am in the fairway but I feel like I am hitting out of the rough
Even when I was in the fairway, it was like being in the rough because of all the dirt patches, brown spots on the course, and lots of gopher holes. Greens were in decent shape. Don't expect any golf etiquette as there are no marshalls to enforce speed of play. Or golf carts that roll right up to the green and don't use cart paths. It's too bad because the course is long and has potential to be better.

golf cart failure
slow playing on a Sunday. Course in decent shape - greens in excellent condition
golf cart ran out of juice on the 17th hole. that sucked, took more than 20 minutes for them to bring a replacement card - that sucked too.

Challenging old school
William Bell design 1955. Same guy did Torrey Pines San Diego south golf course. Nice layout. Greens are good, fairways ok with Kikuyu grass everywhere making it challenging, good for practice. Rough was brutal. 6” deep in most areas, making it challenging and again great for practice staying in the fairways. Some long holes not for short hitters.

Golfing Whittier Narrows.
Overall, not bad for a public course.
The greens are in good shape. The fairways are ok. If you have a ball in the rough, very difficult to find due to all the holes and unevenness. Good value for the price!

You get what you pay for
Good for a quick weekday practice round or walking excercise since it's close by. Pros: Great green conditions and cheap. Cons: Average fairways and constant delays. You get exactly what you pay for.
