Encino at Sepulveda Golf Complex

Broke 100 today for the first time in Encino - had a blast - greens were nice and coarse is well kept up

Every other green is either soft and mushy, firm, or medium and shaggy.

It was a solid 2 club wind all day, going from West to East.

On number 10 it was howling down wind, I only had 165 left to the flag. I hit a high iron and it sat down in a giant soft deep hallmark the green was so soft and mushy.

And then we get to 13, also downwind, I had a 110 wedge, hit it normal, it proceeded to bounce and away from the hole even though the green is tilted back to front the ball climbed up the hill!!

It was like that all day.

Back 9 tee boxes were shaggy also like semi rough.

5 hours round for Wednesday morning just terrible no marshal anywhere to be found lot of seniors basically took over the golf courses plus some of counter desk staffs not too friendly ( one of the older couple brought the staffs some kind of cake the whole room totally ignored waiting customers management needs to look into this matter)

Fairway bunkers are all gone. Course is totally boring. Everything is just straight. No challenge or thought process at all. They just want to ship people through like sheep on pace and take money from them. That’s it. So sad.

Encino is a great course for all. Wide open fairways and the greens are in great shape. There are a few dry spots on the fairways but that’s somewhat expected considering it’s been unusually hot these last few months. Kudos to the entire staff for the conditions of the course.

What’s going on with all these city courses???

Encino is dying. The grass is dried out and have started to brown and die. There was good grass about a month ago, decently lush and green. Now most of that is gone, and half the fairways are dead dirt patches. So depressing…..

pace of play slow we had four punishing 3 all day one of none Ryder believed he works for the course he seems doesn’t care about his friends slow play plus the green inconsistent some holes slower than others.

Meh. Average conditions. Greens needed a cut and a roll.

What’s happened to all the fairway bunkers??? Looks like the 2 on either side of 10 are being removed to be just rough.

How much easier do they want to make this game???

If they’re removing fairway bunkers, that means they do less maintenance, right? So we should be charged less, because they’re working less, have less workers, right? So ridiculous…

Start of the summer 90° today beautiful day to be playing golf. Golf Course was in a great condition.

The weather was quite warm, but the wind was relatively calm. The course itself was enjoyable for a weekend round—fairly forgiving in some areas but still providing enough challenge to keep the game interesting. The greens and fairways were also well maintained, which contributed to a pleasant golfing experience.

Unfortunately, our experience at the pro shop significantly affected our overall impression of the day.

My wife forgot to bring her UV-protection sleeves, so we purchased a pair of Nike sleeves for $29 from the pro shop. However, when she opened the package to put them on, we immediately noticed loose stitching around the wrist area. Since the product appeared to be defective right out of the package, we politely requested an exchange.

To our surprise, the pro shop employee repeatedly refused to exchange the item. The employee's attitude made us feel as though my wife had intentionally damaged the product herself, which was both upsetting and insulting. Eventually, after approximately ten minutes, a manager arrived and approved the exchange, allowing us to head to our tee time just in time.

What disappointed us most was not the defective product itself, but the way the situation was handled. We were not attempting to return a product after using it during the round. We discovered the defect only minutes after purchasing it and before it had ever been used. Had the staff simply expressed regret for the inconvenience and explained that managerial approval was required for an exchange, asking us politely to wait a few minutes, neither my wife nor I would have felt offended.

Instead, the attitude displayed by the pro shop staff was unnecessarily confrontational, dismissive, and unpleasant. Their behavior negatively affected the beginning of our round to the point that it was difficult to focus on our golf.

Fortunately, the other golfers in our group were friendly, and the course itself was enjoyable enough that our mood gradually improved as the day went on. Nevertheless, the experience at the pro shop left such a negative impression that it made us reluctant to return to Encino in the future.

Because our tee time was approaching and our English is not completely fluent, we were unable to fully express our concerns at the time. Therefore, we would greatly appreciate it if you could ensure that our feedback is clearly communicated to the Encino management team.

Thank you for taking the time to review our comments. We hope this feedback will help improve the customer experience for future visitors.

Really nice afternoon tee time 2:25, paired with some nice folks that all knew each other. Got around in about 4 hours 20 minutes.

Tee boxes level with good coverage. Fairways overall good, playing firm and fast with very few dried out spots. The rough they are growing in some spots isn’t that penal. The bunkers were spotty, unkept and a bit inconsistent on the texture but not bad. Darn shame really…wish people would even try and use a rake or at least do a foot sweep. Greens all healed up and rolling smooth at a medium pace. Not as many ball marks as Im used to seeing here so maybe there’s some hope for humanity after all. Enjoy the walk….

Wonderful practice course. I love the layout and ease of play. Great value for the money and well maintained.

Love this course definitely will play again here soon .
