Encino at Sepulveda Golf Complex

This course is flat and has wide fairways. Perfect to gain one’s confidence back after a rough outing. For the price it’s a great place to play.

Recovering greens from being punched. Tee boxes under repiar on all the par 3’s. Tees move all forward.

Unreal pace. It was fast. Had fun. Back again soon.

Absolutely shameful. The range was closed on a day when it was barely raining, just a light shower all day, nothing heavy. But they had a teacher out there with a student with 2 full buckets at the ready, assuming that the teacher was going to have more students this day. Unconscionable.

The course needed this rain. It was almost dead. So many brown areas of grass drying out. Lets hope the rains help to bring the grass back, because the place looked bad. Greens had small holes.

Normally, when I pay at the starter, they’ve been giving me my own cart (due to Covid). But since I received a credit from the app that I used meaning the round was a prepaid, they wouldn’t give me own cart and expected me to share a cart with someone I didn’t know. Meantime, the other individual did not want to share. So I couldn’t play anymore since it was time to tee off and they were putting me to a later tee time. I don’t understand why couldn’t they assign a single cart for me when the 3 other players had their own.

The course was in great shape. Greens were fantastic. Fairways were we’re good. Beautiful course to play.

Overall it’s worth it. Gets the point across, especially for beginners and intermediate players. However, there are way too many trees in the way, unless you are a professional, it is hard to get around them. Screws up your handicap in a major way. Other than that, it’s affordable, relaxing, you don’t feel rushed if you go after 3:30p. Great place to learn.

Tee boxes and fairways are in very bad condition.

Way too much dirt and dry spots all over the course. Greens in very good shape.

The rough is awesome. Plenty of it, and very lush all around the edges of fairways and around the greens. That’s how it’s supposed to be and how it used to be when I first started playing this place almost 40 years ago, before the stupid metal woods came into the game LOL. I hope the rough stays this way. Don’t change it.

Greens were terrible. Dead slow. And every green is different. Some soft and mushy, others rock hard and jagged, and others in-between with vertical mower marks like tracks or rails. But mostly all of them were just darn slow, and horrible.

There are some serious dead dirt patches everywhere on pretty much every hole, and some are finally being marked, so hopefully they put some work in.

What is it with the bunkers???? Embarrassing.

Got stuck behind a couple groups who were absolute novices who weren’t ready to be on the course as they hacked their way around the place hitting their 7th and 8th and 9th shots into the greens, and they were behind by a hole the whole way. We stood on every tee pretty much, and took 25 minutes longer than it should have, finishing the round in 4 hours 40. Pretty sad.

Great course to score on. Wide fairways, well maintained., with many personality layouts, both for draws and fades. Also theres eagle opportunities with short par 5s
