Make sure you have no plans if you tee off after 10

We teed off at 10:45 and finished at 5pm six hours fifteen minutes crazy no golf course should take this long when you tee off there is a group on the fairway safely out of distance a group on the green this was on every hole

Very busy and poor conditions

my son and I played the day after Thanksgiving. I expected the course to have a full tee sheet, but it was worse than that - not only did we tee off late but we joined a threesome. every group in front and behind us was also a fivesome. needless to say, it was a slow round, probably 5 hours.

except for the greens, the course was in poor shape - hacked up tees, thin fairways that were almost dirt in some places. with that many people playing, I would think the course generates a decent revenue. But it's obvious that LA County Dept of Parks does not put any money back into the course.

No, it is not LA county fault. It is the management company that they hire didn't do their job right. That management company is call American Golf Cooperation.

Better than expected!

After reading reviews, I wasn't expecting much, but after completing my round, I was pleasantly surprised! Although the layout of 3 par 9s is a little confusing, the greens are smaller than I'm used to, pace of play was great and the layout was easy enough to enjoy my round.

Easy to get early tee time

Was able to get a Sunday morning tee time late in the week, (I think I booked it on Wednesday).

Very good course for the money. Fairways are not in great shape, but greens were fine.

Pace-of-play was above average, about 4.5 hours.

Restaurant prices are very high, but have decent food choices.

Great greens!

This coarse was nice and fun. Pretty easy course very flat and straight. The guys mowing will not get out of the way when you tee off so I generally hit over them. Some of the best greens I have played on in a while! The ball rolled fast and very smooth. I played the pine and mountain course

Nice Course

Course is in good shape and the staff are very helpful. Range is mats only so it is hard to work on your game or warm up. Food is OK from the grill and the clubhouse is small as is their inventory It was an enjoyable round with very good pace of play and a generally nice layout with no tricks or false designs..

WAY too slow!

The course was in good shape ... greens were great. BUT ... allowing 5-somes is a truly bad idea. The pace of play was nearly a 6 hour round pace. It was impossible to have any kind if rhythm in playing.

Bottom 5%

Okay, there were some misleading reviews on this course. Golfers here on Yelp need more broad sampling if you gave this place more than a star. If there was a way, I'd give this place less than a star.

The layout is as boring as it gets. It's flat and the holes just goes back and forth. Oh yeah, they actually have a 358 yard par 5. Instead of making the course a par 71, they actually have a drivable par 5. The fairways were bumpy to say the least. Bunkers are dirt filled. And the scenery...there isn't one. There's RC planes making that annoying sound mixed in with barrage of shotgun blasts topped with low flying real jets that could swallow up one of those mosquito RC planes.

The pace is slow. 5 hour seems normal here. A tangent: group of older Koreans playing in front of us were playing off of the blue tees. There drives were never longer than 200 yards. Get a clue! Blue measures close to 7000 yards. If your handicap is above 10, you should be playing the white tees. Better yet, find some gold tees. That's why the course plays to 5 hours! Get real!

This was my 190th course and I keep track of all the courses I've played. This course will rank in my bottom 5 percent. In fact, I would not miss this course if they plowed over and planted sage brush.

Mountain course 9 holes

The mountain course was an average course you would play if you just wanted to get out there and do a practice round. Nothing challenging about it. Very simple layout. Greens were in good shape however the fairways were beat up. Lots of uneven area with mounds and holes. Too many par 3's which is bad for pace of play. The best thing about my experience was the breakfast burrito I had from the cafe. Very friendly and courteous staff. (5 stars for that!)
