Encino at Sepulveda Golf Complex

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

I did like the house and the conditions were pretty good! The course seams a little long and boring for me.

Too many golf beginners that delays pace of play & these people just collect the balls.

Dress code are ridicules. Tank tops, carrying dogs on the carts

Not recommeded

Nice wide fairways for my errant drives and well-kept greens. The café has great food and drink options too

I'm only giving this course 3's across the board because they just don't do enough grounds keeping in the fairways for one,very patchy and two, because of the pace of play,which I understand is a city course,but when you allow 2-3-4 groups of 4, 10to 13 year olds tee off without a clue in the world how to hit the ball, go in front of you at a 11:25 am start time in the morning,without mentioning it to the players,it makes for a very long time to wait between tees. That is un called for to not give notice and this is very frequent that they do this here on both sides of the courses,that being the Balboa and Encino courses. Then these girls who most can't even hit the ball solid and only hit It 50 yards each time,but yet out on the fairway some 200 yards to the green, they sit and wait to hit the ball up,even when the other set of girls are on the green,this needs to be fixed.

They have guys skipping holes, playing 5s and 6s. Then when you tell.them about it they will never give you a refund. I literally stopped at hole 5 becuz how slow all those guys were playing. When you call the office to complain they don't answer. I want a refund

The course was in pretty good condition. The greens were punched, but some of the greens had a lot of the debris from the punching and ruined a lot of approach shots and putts. Pace of play was great on the front 9, but the back was very very slow. Had to wait 5 or six minutes between shots.

Typically you can getTee time after 5 pm and get a quick 9 holes of a practice round. Generously wide fairways with enough green grass for a quality second shot. Greens also in decent shape but wish more golfers would repair divots. Pace of play most evenings is quick enough to play 9 in 1:45 minutes.

The smell...stings the nostrils.

While the course has a cool layout, the fairways were dirt and weeds, and the course smelled awful. 80% of the water features were dry and smelled horrific (rotting fish and vegetation).

Apparently they are converting it from 18 holes to 12??? I would definitely skip this place. It's like a Mad Max dystopian course.

Had a great time. I was paired with 3 other people. We played fast and rarely had to wait. We finished in 4 hours. Fairways and tee boxes were in fair condition considering the drought. Greens were in good shape but were extremely slow. Very hard to adjust to. Overall, i had a great time.

Not in as nice of condition overall as recent months. Wet, soggy in many parts; dry patches and some burnt out lies in others. The greens have been better at Balboa imo lately. Pace of play was a bit longer than it shoulda been, backed up on the 15th par three which slowed things down. Overall, a nice day of muni golf!

Teeoff on time, pace of play was excellent! Looking forward to playing more frequently
