This course is great to work on your short game and improve your handicap. Just wait a few days after they aerate the greens. Sand and holes everywhere.

Great course in my backyard.
The only problem with this course is the pace of play generally. There’s always a back up at Hole 5. But, it’s usually worth the weight, as it’s such a great course for brushing up on skills and staying active.

Beautiful Course
First time I have Played Roosevelt. I was surprised how nice the course was. Beautiful landscape. Greens were in good condition. Fairways were good. I live in Bakersfield, Ca. I was visiting the LA area. When in LA again I will play again.

Bring balls.
It can be a tight course with some blind hits so bring extra balls to keep the pace of play moving. I got put with 4 other guys so a 5 some and we finished in just over 2 hours. Very fun holes. Greens were great. Perfect course for a good 9.

Small but nice course
This course is fun to play. However, old Korean staff with deep frown face is terrible.

Slow
3rd round in a row at Roosevelt stacked with 5somes. Count on 3+ hours on a weekend.
Great course otherwise.

Nice course, extremely slow play
Very pretty course, but play was set up in fivesomes. By 3 holes in, we were up on the tee with the group in front of us. By 5 holes in, the group behind us was with us as well
Pro Shop no help... They just said to have the group let us play through, which they wouldn't.
Over 3 hours for 9 holes is ludicrous. The regulars we were with said that's normal. Too bad, as it's a pretty course.
