Encino at Sepulveda Golf Complex

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

Make sure he doesn’t “gimmie” your birdie putt.

Don’t you ever touch my ball and bring it to me as I’m happily driving up to the green with my putter in hand ready to take pride in tapping in my ball for a bird.

Don’t ever rob someone of that!

The course was good otherwise. Just got paired with a Richard- head who didn’t have any golf etiquette.

You know what you’re getting yourself into when you play at Los Angeles city Public course. So there were no surprises really. Actually the pace of play was faster than normal less than four hours which was great. Tee boxes and fairways were the usual not great. The greens were really bad even for an LA city public course. Super furry, Super bumpy, super slow and super inconsistent. I shot a great score so it was all worth it.

Pretty cool facility overall, a lot of space to work on chipping, putting, and hang out before your tee time. Course was in above average condition, especially for a municipal course. All in all a good experience, looking forward to coming back.

Greens not cut at all. It’s even over 5 weeks since the punch, they should be in good shape like at other courses but no, here, they are spongy and bumpy, still showing where the holes were punched and those are now like obstacles sending the ball wherever, and coupled with the length of the thick grass on the greens it’s seriously sad.

And bunkers!!!! Why do they not take care of them? You would think it’s as simple as running the machine through them once a day in the morning. But nope, most of them have grass growing in them, and gopher holes too, and then nobody takes them.

How they can take money from people this way, it’s disgusting.

And there seemed to be a really slow group of old guys who just couldn’t get going fast enough that held up the entire afternoon of players, it’s a total disgrace, they’re on the wrong course to be walking, even with their battery-powered hand carts.

Just sad.

Fairways were surprisingly softer than expected. Greens rolled out more than expected also. Pace of play was 4 hours which was great..I’ll be back!

Bunkers are not maintained at all. None. They are not machine raked, and the players don’t care either so there are deep footprints everywhere. Pretty sad sight to see. The greens are bad too, it’s always either the front or back that’s been cut depending on the day. Makes no sense. They’ve been taking the same amount of money after they’ve raised the rates so the place should be in much better conditions but it’s not. There’s some more grass now on the fairways and that’s fine, but it’s only because we’ve had a prolonged cool weather.

Just wish the maintenance would be more consistent. Take care of your own place

This is a fair test of golf. Just enough trouble to punish really errant shots but most holes are open enough that some degree of inaccuracy still leaves a chance for decent recovery. Likewise most holes are reachable in regulation for the golfer with average length. Visually it's a nice course by municipal standards, and its condition is generally good especially the greens. It's a pleasant course to play.
