Great Course

Course is in really good condition. Pace of play was good and the greens are in good shape. Would be nice if the golfers fix their own divots.

An LA Gem

Always a delightful experience playing Roosey. Don’t expect the best conditions but you do get more than what you pay for. I’m a 2 handicap and always enjoy the challenge of playing Roosey with five clubs. Super twilight at Roosey is the best!

Great views of city, fun course

Please repair your ball marks! Every green looked like the surface of the moon or a World War 1 battleground.

Fun layout and excellent value but needs a bit of love on the greens

Love playing this course but man does the pace of play SUCK

I love playing at this course. Its a fantastic 9 hole course in some of the best condition its even been in. The crews are really working hard to keep it clean and easy to play on. That being said I wish they put the same or even half that effort into helping with the pace of play. 5 people per group is already ridiculous as is, but letting two people tee off 5 minutes after their tee time to meet up with there group who was waiting for them on 1 is ridiculous. Be on time or miss a hole. The starter had no concept of pace of play. I would recommend this course to people but be aware it could take you more than 2 hours to play these 9 holes.

Did not have reservation

Prepaid for round and starter didn’t have reservation at checkin. Proceeded to be a 20 minute circus act until they finally let us on the tee box.

Great course, but know what to expect

Overall, one of the best 9 hole muni golf courses I have played, and very affordable too.

Main problem is that the skill level of golfer who is out there is way below what the hilly layout demands, so there are lots of tee-box reloads and ball searches going on. I believe it was 3+ hours to finish 9 holes, although as a visitor this was somewhat offset by the gorgeous views from overlooks onto downtown LA that you get from this course.

Great exec course but 5-somes = 3 hour 9-hole round

Course in great shape for July w/excellent fairway and green conditions; mild elevation change and some tight tree lined holes make it interesting, with surprisingly difficult pin positions making putting a challenge on a couple of holes. Yes, they match you up into 5-somes, but seems that locals who play here are the patient type and are friendly and easy to get along with. Enjoyed it so much that I came back the next day for another round. Walking only, no riding option however.

Staff will secretly charge you

I booked a 4 some. One guy couldn’t make it so the Pro Shop said they would give me a cart instead. Cut too a few weeks later and they told Golf Now to charge me an additional persons fee.

DO NOT USE GOLF NOW TO BOOK HERE. They will steal your money. The courses website is much better
