Whittier Narrows Golf Course - Mountain/River

The pace of play was super slow 5 hours. Too many tee times were sold rather than turning away the over flow, sometimes course get booked, why do we have to squeeze in everyone who shows up without a reserved tee time? The staff, besides the nice girl who checked us in is poor to say the least, the "ice-T" wanna be who claimed to be a manager actually tried to fight me, chest bumped me, called me outside, then tried to have some local scum bags try to sucker punch me from behind as he suddenly changed his tune and was trying to be less aggressive as we exchanged vulgar remarks to each other. The altercation came after I returned to pro shop to complain about being ignored when we called the proshop for a Marshall four hours in with3 holes to play on pine course long par 3 where we had to stand next to the last green as people hit approach shots because there was 4 groups waiting to tee off. (Because of 1 group who literally 15 min on that green as well as the next two greens, I also found out that the other groups had been waiting on them for 3 holes) the Marshall never showed up because we were told he left at 4:00(which is also interesting because no one answered our calls to the pro shop till 4:06 and we were calling repeatedly from that green). The people on the course were as bad as the staff, as my brother and I were approached by some guy and told "no drug deals here guys" out of no where. It was by far the worst golf experience I have ever experienced.

pace of slow play start at 1st hole, if you can play around with 5 hours + this is your course.
this course also fit for beginner which have many straight holes hit than dog legs holes.
the greens are only places you call good condition.

Whittier Narrows is a fun track, each hole a differnt challenge. The course is flat and pretty wide open. The greens are small and fast. We played on Thanksgiving morning and it was slow. Overall, a very pleasant east LA golf experience.

tee boxes are poor condition...greens arevery short . need alot of tlc.

Friendly staff , course in good condition , great value for your buck

This course gets a lot of traffic. The fairways are in need of more grass-very patchy in places with dirt and gravel instead of grass. The greens had too many foot prints and many golfers forgot to repair their ball marks. The greens were smooth and fast but due to the footprints it became luck if you rolled your putt in. This course is sneaky long with 3 par 5s on the front 9. It always backs up on the par 3s. It is fairly wide open so you can bang your driver as hard as you like but watch out for the rough which tends to hide balls and then the search begins...

No "Starter" to space out the groups of golfers. This caused a log jam of golfers. We had a lot of 5-some & 6-some groups in front of us, slowing things down, and a fast 3-some hitting balls at us from behind. We weren't enjoying this situation so we left after 3 holes (i.e. abandoned the next 15 holes).

I've played this course a couple of time. Everyone here is very friendly and professional. The course is well maintained. I'm very satisfied with playing this course.

It has huge fairway and quite fast green.
It's much better than most of muni CC.
Furthermore fair green fee is best part of it.

very poor staff. i used to play here as often as possible but the rate is toooooooooooo much compair to local courses... should have special rate to attract more golfers like local courses.

I will give 4 stars with the addition of drinkable water + disposable cups on this course.

Staff was very friendly and helpful.

It was crowded. Since we were beginners we had to let a lot of golfers pass. It was a bit frustrating with so many others behind us.

Was charged more at course , the staff said that you only paid for 9 holes where I booked it for 18. They did not display online that this was a 9 hole course. Paid the booking fees for nothing. Had too pay the regular rate of $38.50 per player instead $21.97 per player. If I can get the booking fees refunded would be nice

This golf course is a pretty long yardage course than others in California.
And have a very fast green and wide fairways.
I've enjoyed a lot.

Pretty good length but not much variety in holes, all fairly straight with no water or hills. Overall a good open course

Be careful when making a reservation at golf now for this course. Although the list of available golf times shows a price stating that it includes a cart, when the final printout comes out, it states that the price is for walking, not riding.

I select to play 18 hole golf xourse.
I reserved tee time for play but when i went to this golf club to starter to confirm my reservation, not 18 holes ,,, 9holes i reserved.. What the heck was ??? I disappointed too much!!!

I'm a visitor to SoCal and picked this course based on the reviews from golf now and the cost.

First off I had to argue with the attendant about what was included in the round. Once that was settled, I was advised they were running behind. This muni course was sending out 5 somes and it was incredibly slow. Of course I should of known as one lady was giving swing instructions to another woman.

The round was tortuous and I will never play there again. The fairways were thin and the course really lack any character. The greens were in good condition and rolled nice.

The course was as dry as I have ever seen it. The pace of play was so slow that I quit after 9 holes.

we started at approx. 1100AM. we did not finish 18 holes until after 4:30PM. It has a lot of room for improvement in the pace of play.
