Encino at Sepulveda Golf Complex

It was 109 degrees but the course had plenty

Of shade . As long as you plenty of water you good .

The greens was nice good speed , fairways good easy to hit of the deck..

Had a great time course was in good shape pace was decent

This is way better than Woodley Lakes, but that’s not a high bar. The course is very forgiving (long, straight, wide) and would be a lot more fun/challenging with more fairway bunkers (which I heard they’ve slowly removed over the years). That said, most of the bunkers on the course are in terrible condition (I had one bunker shot that was basically a deep rough shot). The greens are pretty rudimentary (basically, they don’t break at all). Pace of play is a bit of an issue, especially on par threes, but that’s par for the course on LA public courses. All said, there are worse ways to spend $40 in four hours, but this isn’t a top notch golf experience.

Fix the bunkers already! Grass and weeds growing in half of them. Inconsistent sand. Always unracked. Terrible!

Been several times . Pace is just over 4 hours unless you get behind a party group. Course plays long. Lots of fairway woods needed

I have been playing Encino since I was a child. The course is straight forward and does not have much to it but is normally in pretty good shape. Greens were super slow and spongy. Bunkers were full of grass and hard as a rock so not really sand traps at all. Pace of play was fine but would help if more water available on course as nothing at all on course and to stop takes a desc ent amount of time as not location convenient.

Somebody didn’t look after the greens properly. They have brown patches and are soft and hairy. Just horrible. Receptive, sure, but they are terrible to putt on. Shaggy and sponge-like. Really disappointing.

And will somebody do something about the bunkers!!! How about maintenance??!! People pay the same money as at other courses, since the price hikes it’s all the same, so why are the bunkers dead with green growth in them???? Unconscionable and irresponsible!!!

But, at least the fairways are not land-mines like at Wilson with the gopher holes and mounds. That’s about the only positive.

Normally, Encino is maintained in decent condition. The last two times we played the bunkers have been in horrible condition. Grass growing in them, not edged, unraked and uncleaned of debris. Very disappointing.

Course is in great condition. Greens are in great condition. I’ve never been paired up with unpleasant people. Great, fun track to work on your game.

I have played here for over 38 years and a week ago was the last time playing the encino course and the greens were rolling so pure and evenly throughout all 18 holes that I've ever played on,so congrats to the greenskeepers for that, only problem I have, which is for every city course as of the past two years, with the influx of amateurs and other trashy people who have no respect for the golf courses is, they don't fix their divots and it's gotten really bad,also please put more sand in your bunkers!!

Overall, I do enjoy playing both sides of the courses,Balboa/Encinitas and will play here again and again!!
