Penmar Golf Course

Had a tee time, arrived 15 minutes early but forgot golf shoes, checked in, and went home to get shoes. Came back with golf shoes 5 minutes after tee time and staff had given tee time to someone else and refused to give us an alternate tee time. When I said ‘come on man we’re five minutes late’ staff responded rudely, turned his back to me and refused to engage further. Would not recommend this course.

groups of 5. took 40 mins to finish the first 2 holes.

nobody waves on the Par 3’s so back up of 2-3 groups waiting to tee up

OK, yesterday was July 4 and also a World Cup match going on in the golf course Restaurant, so the place was jampacked. However, that’s no excuse for the golf course to be 20 to 30 minutes each whole waiting especially holds 34 and five…. It opens up on the seventh hole.

Was not fun! When you complete this course in two hours maximum 2 1/2 it’s worth it… During the week off peak hours I would stay away from the weekend unless you can start very early.

A gem of a muni. 9 hole executive course with 3 par 3’s and 6 par 4’s allows you to use every club in your bag. It also has great off course bar restaurant and event space to hang out pre / post round. The biggest draw back is that the course allows you to book 5 sums and lately there’s even been some 6 sums out there slowing the pace of play to a brutal grinding halt. Pace is basically hit or miss, best bet is to get there before 10am or after 5pm (obviously only applies to summer twilight.) if not for the 5 sums the course is usually laid back fun round.

Overall fair to good experience. Good layout and open fields.

One of the players that joined our round yesterday was scratched on the leg by a squirrel. Didn’t think much of it initially but was more concerned when we saw blood and that it happened to a player who was 78 years old. The squirrel was trying to get to the snack that he was eating.

Also would recommend the removal of the broken tees bear the tee box. There are a lot.

You can pay $22 for a bucket of large golf balls or go to Penmar for $19 and hit all of your clubs! Plus real time chipping and putting.

Greens were still recovering from seeding / sand..

They should give a larger discount for a round if all of the greens are covered in sand and there’s no way to putt

Perfect round on a perfect Monday at a consistently well maintained course.

The concessionaire did a great job maximizing the opportunity of the club house and community building experience. They do a nice job at keeping the course maintained and better than most city courses.

Tee time was 3:50, went to the first tee around 3:45 and there were about 5 groups waiting to tee off. We finally tee’d off around 4:20, but ended up playing as a group of 7 because there were so many people waiting. Even as a group of 7, we were still finishing each hole in about 10 minutes but we’re waiting 25+ minutes on each hole to tee off. There was no Marshall or starter to structure things. We were on the course for 2+ hours and only got through 5 holes so we ended up leaving.

The only plus side was that the course is in nice condition and they had rental clubs (although the clubs looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in months.)

Do not recommend playing here on a weekend as there as it is absolute chaos.

first time back at golf since knee surgery

was a great walking course and on a hot day plenty of shade and benches...some holes tough enough to challenge

I like Penmar. Kt's my home club. I've only played a handful of times. It's a short walk and a lovely day. Even by LA standards it is soooo slow. 10:10 tee was inly 10 minutes delayed. Two hours and twenty minutes later we were starting the 9th but I had to bounce. I played an afternoon round last month that took more than 3 hours. Fivesomes every 10 minutes. But what can they do? It'e oversubscribed and fully booked all the time. Just be ready for a short walk and a long day :)

Great 9 hole course I could use my Driver and 7 Wood Greens were fast Rough was tough maintenance Excellent like a 18 hole course

ThankYou

Always paired with great players. Well kept and awesome restaurant

There was a sixsome in front of us. We were only able to complete six holes. The group in front of us were beginners and the wait was awful.
