Encino at Sepulveda Golf Complex

Played at Encino golf course, public course that is one of the better ones here in the LA area. They have covered driving range, a LARGE chipping area (about the size of 3 greens) and they have a large area to work on bunker shots and pitch shots. On top of that they have 2 putting areas. Impressive for a public course. The course itself is pretty much the same for each hole, long fairway with bunkers near the green. I would say majority of the holes were par 4's and a few par 5's and par 3's. I'd recommend this for beginner to intermediate golfers.

They’ve quit maintaining thr bunkers again. So many bunkers are not machine raked and many of them have grass growing in them. Again. What is it with employees not doing their job? Who is in charge to actually order their workers to actually do the work? So ridiculous.

Front 9 greens are slightly better than the back 9. Back 9 greens are shaggier and hairy, like the practice green. Sad.

I wish they would let people know, so we can take a check and play another day when the greens are back to normal.

The small holes were terrible, and the greens were like sponges, making the ball bobble all over the place.

Needs about a week and flattening for them to be any good.

Really disappointed, because the greens were decent a week ago.

Greens are not cut too much, so they are sticky slow. Rest of the course is hit or miss, some fairways are getting thin needing water and a bit more maintenance.

Would love to see the course preform maintenance on the sand traps!

Encino is currently in great condition with good coverage on fairways and overall decent tee boxes. Greens have recovered nicely from aeration 2 months ago but need to be mowed and rolled as they are pretty slow at the moment. Fairway bunker are terrible as they don't seem to get any maintenance and greenside bunkers are hit and miss. People need to rake but you can't expect much from an LA muni. Always a fun part of my rotation.

I’ve played Encino/Balboa before, in fact about four years ago had my lifetime low scores in each. No major complaints with anything except for the greenside rough being quite deep and having the appearance of not having been cut in a while (uneven thickness and depth). Friendly staff and well run operation. Pace of play at 4:05 on a Friday mid-day was excellent.

Course played fairly quick, grass is real green, easy layout greens rolled well.

I guess I have had a one day for me to be a poor player
