Balboa at Sepulveda Golf Complex

Very nice course great pace and tricky greens. Great location

Well, they painted the greens so they were a bit soft and moist, not cut, but I guess they needed to do that for the coming heat, so the greens were a bit hairy and slow today.

Otherwise the rest of the course is ok, except for the bunkers, of course!!!

I say best conditions in a decade, as it should be, after all the rains we had this past year!! And the course really is the best it’s been in a decade, because the past decade was all about the heat and dry weather!!

Caught the place on a good day, when it has just been mowed and trimmed.

The greens were as good as they can be for this place. Smooth and just nice to putt on. Not deadly quick of course, but they feel so nice. Fairways were nicely mowed and trimmed, with definition from the rough along the sides, and good and meaty around the greens too. Tee boxes are also trimmed and cut, mostly very good.

Bunkers are the only issue, as always, some of them need more sand inserted, others need more rakes!!! I wish the green keepers would rake them a bit more often, and the players too.

But yeah, the place looked as good as it’s supposed to when there is great grass to hit off of the fairways. So nice.

Please replace all divots, rake the bunkers and fix ball marks!!!

Thanks

Greens are a little slow but now the is drying out starting to play bet

It’s a fun course to play, but however wait a few weeks from today May 1, 2024 as they just punched the greens and he heavily sanded them and when you put your ball you had a trail of sand coming up from your ball

Front nine greens were slow due to aeration, had to use a driver backswing on the putter. Good driving day will give you a short iron / wedge on your second.

Courses in good shape, but the pace of play is very bad

The tee boxes were dirt and the fairways complete trash. If you hit in the rough good luck hitting your ball out of it to even finding it. The course needs a lot go work. On a positive note they have new carts.

Solid course, with good greens and decent fairways......Flat and straightforward design.

Conditions were solid. One bunker wasn’t great but super wide course and greens were great. Definitely coming here again.

Have played here 4-5 times over the past couple years. Usually in good shape. NOT today! Rough was ridiculously long - spent way too much time looking for balls just a few yards off the fairway, and lost a couple even though we saw right where they landed. Greens were fast, as always - but didn’t roll true, lots of “wobbling”.

Pace of play here is pretty much always bad, but get worse each time we play here. A full five hours today, waiting on nearly every shot! No rangers moving anyone along, no beverage cart slowing people down. I get that people want to walk the course, but if you choose to do that keep a decent pace. So much for the reminders on clubhouse signs to “play well, and play fast”!

Love the layout, but not sure we’ll be back. Five hours for a round of golf is ridiculous.

The course is recovering from the recent rains. There are spots in one fairway (par 5 on the back) that has sand bags and roped off areas. Dummies in carts have still driven on and damaged the course. Looks like they are letting the grass fill on because even while in the fairway, on many holes, you were in a first cut type lie. No big deal, it’s a muni and they’re letting it fill in more before a cut (at least it seems to me). Greens were medium and rolling pretty good. One bunker I found had decent sand. Tee boxes fair. Pace of play good once the foursome in front of us left. The 80 year old guy in my group asked them to please pick up pace on the fourth hole since it was wide open and the dude took it personal and responded with “Don’t tell me how to play my golf.” Sums up the attitude of many new to the game players imo: entitled and inconsiderate. Played 14 holes in about 3 hours which is decent with a 3:10 time on a Friday.

Is a nice layout and really need better fairways, the weather is not the cause. This is poor work on the fairways, extremely bad. Good greens and challenging. The course is wide and easy to use your drive in every single hole. Carts are excellent and the pace is very good. Just work on the fairways.

Easy course. Straight fairways. No elevation. Good track for beginners.
