3:20 Tee time, finished 18 walking

Course is in great shape, barely any patchy spots in the fairways, greens are a bit slow, and have healed up very nicely!

Course was fun

The course was in pretty good shape. Greens we about 95-97% healed from being punched. I hadn’t played here in 11 years. Nothing bad to say. I had fun. Look forward to playing again when I find a tee time. Super hard to get tee times here.

One more week and it’ll be PERFECT

As long as they cut the greens and fairways and make them nice, and leave the rough alone, and then rake the bunkers, it will be the best it’s been in YEARS. It hasn’t had this much grass in 20 years

Best of the three mid-valley courses

IN the mid-valley you have Woodley Lakes, Balboa and Encino courses, respectfully. The Encino course is the best of the three, in my opinion. Wide fairways make it easy for the beginer to have an enjoyable round without looking a couple of sleeves worth of balls. The other two courses are also good, however the Geese love to poop on the Woodley and Balboa courses. Especially Woodley.

Rare perfect day at Encino

Normally the course is much more congested and the weather is hotter. But we got lucky yesterday. Weather was cool, sunny, breezy and there were fewer golfers. I won't expect to have such good luck again at Encino. The fairways, thanks to recent rains, were lusher than usual.

So much potential...

Unfortunately the City puts no money into this Golf course. For the amount of money they charge its ridiculous. The fairways are made up of many types of weeds and the tee boxes are a travesty. Please work on the course, it could be such a great environment and experience for locals and visitors!

Bad Friday

We showed up for a normal GridY mid day round. When we get there we were informed that it was walking only and no push carts. None of us were prepared for this. Our only option was walk and carry our bags. Not a fun day. Someone should have communicated to us the no electric carts. It made for a long and hard day of golf. No what we are used to

Needs some post rain TLC

Course needs some grooming after the rains. I play there pretty frequently, but it was rough yesterday. Greens were fine.
