Encino at Sepulveda Golf Complex

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!!

Pro shop was very friendly and helpful. The cart barn guys went above and beyond with customer service as well. Will definitely be back.

This course is easy to walk even though I used a cart today.

The course was in great condition and I played a solid round of golf :-)

The course is pretty flat and with wide fairways, it makes it a little easier for us Slicers :-)

The staff here is the best and the nicest!

They got putting areas, chipping and a driving range.

I come as often as I can.

LA City’s excuse to push the twilight rates back to “match” the other, non-City courses in the area doesn’t hold water, because at least at those other courses the course is maintained, with sand in the bunkers and raked, with much better, smoother greens, so you get your money’s worth.

Now LA City just wants your money so the twilight time being pushed way back, 2 hours later than it used to be 2 years ago, is unconscionable, since the courses are not in any better shape, are not maintained, most of the bunkers have grass bits growing in them and are not raked daily.

LA City is truly the worst place in the world

holes 5 &6 were under repair other than that it was great !!!!

The layout and landscape of this course is beautiful for its location. I enjoyed playing this course with the large fairways and mature trees. I believe this is normally a drier course to play - it was still suffering from significant water puddling and muddiness from the recent rains.
