Balboa at Sepulveda Golf Complex

The course is in average shape. The pace of play was kind of slow, but overall it was a good experience. Would recommend.

…../ they removed a lot of bunkers in the recent years. Over the last 3 or 4 years they’ve given up maintaining the traps, and they even removed some of them to make the course easier, so they also adjusted the handicap index for the course. That’s right - for those of you who are new, the right side of #1 is supposed to be OB, as crossing that rough on the right would put you on Encino in the line of fire of Encino #9, it’s meant to be OB because it’s the course next door and it’s dangerous to go hitting the ball over there. By the way, if you do hit the ball over there, you’re in the right of way of THAT fairway, so you’re supposed to wait for that group to finish teeing off before you go trudging over there, because it’s their hole. That’s part of the etiquette, and it will help you with your pace of play as that will happen to you and you don’t want to be waiting on the tee to hit your shot when some punk crosses into your fairway to hit theirs.

Can you belied they charge you the same price for less maintenance??? They have several fewer bunkers and yet they charge you the same as if they were maintaining them. And they don’t even maintain the remaining ones that exist. Unconscionable.

POP was bad due to a couple of hacker groups who had nobody in front of them but didn’t bother playing fast to keep it moving so everybody else were backed up behind them.

Just a typical day on a LA City course. They barely water the course, which is weird since we have so much water after the rains. So many of the usual dead spots.

The Fairways are Lacking any type of turf, a lot of patching in the middle of the fairways other than that great value

A fun day overall

Pace of play was nice especially for a Sunday

Greens were a little fuzzy and slow

The course would have been much better if my playing partner (my neighbor) was able to hit his driver straight. His lack of control with the "big stick" ruined my experience.

One good Thing is course is very easy. But fairways and conditions are trash . But in turn it’s cheap and golf is always fun. Just a honest review. Also practice facilities are great lots of chipping area. And they got food and a great cart person.
