Best 9 hole on the east side

This is a public course that plays like a private one. It’s well-maintained, the staff are friendly, and it has better-than-most-LA-courses pace of play. More importantly though, the layout, with starting and ending Par 4’s, deep rough, rolling greens, and cannily-placed sand traps, forces you to think strategically about ball placement. My game has improved on all other courses just playing this course once a week.

Great place for Short-Game practice

I been playing in this course for some time now. It is great that is lighted and perfect to practice the short game. I usually practice on the short games on the field and the long irons at the range.

Good for beginners!

I dig this 9 hole. Very short and concise. One could practices on your short game for sure. Recommend to go during the am on weekdays because it could get crowded in the weekends. I will be regular since I live 10 minutes and can’t beat 10 bucks.

Great value 9 hole course

Booked Sunday afternoon hot deal for $5+3.xx fees. Finished in 90 minutes with only a group of 2 in front of me. They have a nice 2 deck cover golf range full length with automatic tee system. 1st and 9th hole are both short par 4 about 280-285 yards, everything in between is all par 3 range from 100-140 yards. Overall really enjoyed the course in and out in 90 minutes and a quick test of your par 3 skills.

Great course for a short game practice

I enjoyed overall the round but the green were very slow (I wasn't expecting better condition anyways). The started was not professional at all. Even though I booked through golfnow.com, he was going to charge me their regular $15.00.

I wondered how many people got screwed like this...

Anyhow, highly recommend others to try this course because except the bad starter, the rest was perfect.

An unexpected surprise

I'm just getting back into golf so my shots are erratic, so this seemed like a great practice course as most of the par 3s were decent length and they had two driving hole par 4s.

I was surprised at the conditions of the place. It's pretty modern and tucked on a hillside. The driving range is new and covered, they have a huge golf pro shop. Out on the course you can see cut grass fairways. The rough is real rough so it's not crappy muni weeds. The only weird part was hitting off mats at the tee,. They have a bunch of them from different spots and they are the mats that have the grid so they help line things up. Theres also a fence around the tee area,, as the course is tightly packed.

For a 9 hole course I think it's a great place to work on your game. It's not really busy in the morning/afternoons so you won't feel rushed and it's actually really nice around the last green. I can see myself hanging out there for a couple of hours, playing 9 holes, hitting the driving range, and working on my laptop to avoid traffic.

Also, even though its not woody, its hilly and I did lose some balls because I pushed them into someone's backyard. But there were also times where i hit it just a little left of the small green, but couldn't find my ball. My last shot into the 9th went a little left into a bunker, but I couldn't find my ball!

Amazing Range , Nice and easy course

The Range is amazing , they spent a lot of money to have a state of the art system. the golf ball electronically comes up which was nice. I played with my brother . The course is somewhat short and easy to walk. They maintain it very well , grass looks good and they also have a nice bar with a good view which you can rest before after the game. Range $10 for 90 balls. If you live in LA , this place definitely worth checking out
