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

Great exec course

Challenging though short executive 9-hole; several tee shots w/driver; some tight-ish tree lined fairways; some elevation change, but not extreme; excellent green/fairway conditions for July. But matched up as a 5-some & 5-somes in front = 3-hour 9-hole round; friendly playing partners made it a pleasant outing.

Hollywood stars.

This is my favorite nine hole course in Los Angeles. It's right next to the observatory and it's very beautiful. You'll see coyotes,deer all kinds of ground squirrels, on top of an unusual and amazing layout. It's par 3s and par 4s. It's very challenging. It's not super long but it's narrow and it's a great time

Bring a pull cart

Parking is tough, pace of play is 5 some frustrating so prepare for a 3 hour 9 hole round.

Bring a hand cart or a light bag because this course is hilly and walking only.

Definitely worth the money if you have the time and energy.

Don’t waste your time!

Screw this place. This could be really great if they got their course management figured out. We teed off at 330, we're through 5 at 545.... 3-4 groups on every tee box and 5-somes galore. If you're actually decent at golf, don't even bother. You will be so frustrated with how slow this is. We told the starter and his response was "I don't even play golf so I don't care". He said "5-somes are normal and you have to let them out. This is a normal thing here". Uh no you don't? You obviously only care about a buck. And for you golfer, You're better off at other LA courses.

Just enjoy the view

It’s a muni. Doesn’t excuse the beginners ahead of us and ahead of them making a nine hole course take three hours to play. Please have some course etiquette and move along. The course is beautiful and in good shape. I would play it again.
