Penmar Golf Course

It's extremely slow. They pair every group into five-somes which turned a quick 90 minute round into a little over 150 minutes...keep in mind the course has 6 par 4s and 3 par 3s. only 1 of the par 4s is over 400 yards from the back tees..

Anyway, definitely a course to check out on a weekday and hope to get lucky that you're not stuck behind a slow group. I'll probably be back to give it another shot since I liked the layout and it was in good shape.

This is an excellent Executive Golf Course. Only thing missing is a par 5 for the men. They can rectify that by turning the 6th hole into a par 5 for the men by moving their tees back 20 yards. it already is a par 5 for the ladies. The first cut of rough is fluffy so your ball sits up-thus you can recover from an errant tee shot. The greens are well kept but they do get bumpy with all the traffic. Overall, a good value for the money and your time.

Got to the course early and was able to go out right away. A group of four in front played quickly so my round was able to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace.

This course is what you'd expect for a 13 dollar round. However, it is well maintained, as much as can be expected when in a drought. I had no complaints. It's a very easy course, as I didn't lose a ball, and usually I would have lost at least 4 in the front 9. I would definitely go back. Pace of play was about 2 hours, so not bad. We walked (You have to) which I didn't like, but what can you do? I'd definitely go back for a quick round when I'm bored. I prefer looking for hot deals to much nicer courses which average to the same price as Penmar when you take into account 18 holes.

I felt it necessary to post my more positive review as this is my local course now and I always enjoy my round here, either as a walk on single paired up with some very cool players, recently from France, or as a foursome of friends with a tee time.
The course has been beautiful this year, the fairways lush, greens tight and well maintained and the ocean breezes keeping it cool even during mid day play. It is a City Course and struggles no doubt with money issues like all of the other courses. Thankfully grass tee boxes
I am totally stoked with the brand new rentable three wheeled walking carts. They did jack up the rental to $3 but worth it as it is a new cart with everything working nicely and room for your cold beverage and stuff basket space to tote along on your game.
Its a long 9 hole with a few long fairways but it is easy to hit onto adjoining fairways. Heed the cry of "fore" - one never knows if you are about to be hit by a ball... I haven't but I have heard tell of such.
Anyway, its prettier, quieter and safer than Westchester and certainly without the crowds of Rancho Park, the two neighboring courses and it is possible to get in and out in just over two hours if you play quickly.

beware of the aggressive SQUIRRELS - no fear! Short, flat, uninteresting course with difficult greens and marginal fairways.
