Balboa at Sepulveda Golf Complex

I Purchased a Tee Time with a CART. When I checked in with the Pro Shop; they said I had to Share a cart with a Stranger. If I wanted my one Cart I had to Pay an additional $ 17.00. I have only experienced another similar type of RIP OFF like this in the Past; @ EL CARISO GC. When I complained the Pro there backed Off.

It's a pretty straightforward course. Flat, generous fairways, not long. A good place to get a low score.

Decent layout in fairly good condition. Nothing special, but playable for the average player.

It’s a decent course, pretty open as in fairways. Not to much trouble to get into from tees.. conditions are fair for a city course. Could be better.

It’s fairly priced for what you get ..

First time playing this course. This course does not end back at the club house after first 9 holes and no cart path to go back to buy beers. Had to walk through parking lot to buy some since not cart person around selling. besides that everything else was good.

I’m glad I played this day. The California Junior Golf League was playing a tournament. So, the course had actually been maintained a bit. Fairways were cut, the bunkers had been machine raked. Greens could’ve been better, they were a bit bumpy, but ok.

The fact that the bunkers were raked was nice. The Juniors were good players, and they raked them after their shots like everybody should. What’s SAD is this - the ADULTS who were playing after the tournament had passed through were NOT raking them!!! You’re an ADULT!!! What’s wrong with you???? Rake the bunkers!!! So sad to see clown immature adults with beer in hand who don’t even walk but ride in carts drive the cart everywhere and then not take care of the course. The Kids see this. Don’t you wonder why society is falling apart??? You’re an adult!!!!

Unfortunately the pace of play was a bit slow. Sure it was a Sunday, and the kids were playing a serious game. But it’s really shocking to see adults continue to have no etiquette and just wreck the place like always.

One of the courses I always play since it’s convenient for me. Nice course not tough but not easy also.

Only played here a handful of times over the last decade but the green were in excellent shape and the fastest I had ever play them. Go get it while the greens are good.

The course is very nice in pretty good condition. The starter is not good. It would be nice when you have a 5:25 am tee time that the starter would be ready to work so that that you tee off at 5:25. The starter on this course is always late. He did not even start checking in the 5:25 group until 5:25. Not so great for the following groups. They must all be running late. I also don’t know how there are two groups ahead of me if I had the first tee time. I guess you can just get there before the starter does and play without paying. Not very professional if you ask me.

Sad. They’re removing a few fairway bunkers and making them all grass. Why? Because it probably saves them maintenance time and money, and they hope it helps with pace of play - none of which will happen!

So if there are less bunkers to be maintained, do we get a discount on the green fee? LOL.

Pace of play won’t improve because people just don’t have etiquette not do they care what anybody says at Munis that have no course marshals nor any real maintenance anyway!

Got stuck behind a 4some who were all hackers who all played from the back tee. None of them could hit the 150 yard Par 3, they were that bad. We even gave them a head start, they were half way down the 2nd fairway when we teed off but we caught up to them anyway and got held up by them most of the day.

Just a sad sight to see those bunkers get removed.

And does that mean the index and slope will get adjusted accordingly for becoming an easier golf course???? If not, then it makes no sense.
