First timer there

First time playing there and picked a super windy day and a late tee time. But enjoyed the layout and the round despite it all. They do send off 5-somes, which slows things down a bunch. Considering the course is set up for the average or starter golfer, don't try to break a speed record. And it probably gets a zillion plays a year, so Augusta it ain't. But have to say it's a fun course and the atmosphere there is designed to be fun with a good bar and eats facility. Look forward to going back and keeping my game sharp and enjoyable at the same time. Plus a fantastic value.

Great Short Course

While visiting LA I had breakfast with a friend at the course. Breakfast was great and I played 9. Was teamed up with a lovely foursome and had a great time.

Good 9

Was put with a lovely foursome and had a very enjoyable round. Rental clubs were fine and course conditions were dry but very playable.

Worsening conditions

The conditions were so much better in the winter. Sometimes I’ll even have trouble finding a decent lie on the fairway. Multiple tee boxes need serious work. Pace of play is never great unless you tee off before 9a,

I do love this course since I’m so close, the vibes are good, and I usually have fun. I’ll just be playing it less because of the conditions.

Penmar personal best

Shot a great round so can’t complain too much

Greens are in great condition and are mini putt like, super flat which is very scorable

Layout is always entertaining

Lots of golfers out today. Two-three groups waiting on every t box.

Main caveat right now is just those tee boxes

the staff has a lot of the areas under repair

So in 2-3 weeks course will be in great shape

Unfortunately this place just eats tons of divots off the tees on 1,2,3,5,8 and 9… and to be honest 4 isn’t great either

Penmar

Penmar is terrible, please don't play there. Sun never shines. No freindly people. Greens and Fairways are almost immaculate and perfect. Drinks are terrible. Friendly and helpful servers mean you spend too much time in the bar enjoying yourself. I don't recommend it. No one should ever want to play there or have drinks or food. All golfers should go to other courses.

Beware Friday Afternoons

If you can’t stand big crowds this course may not be for you on a Friday afternoon. The first tee is pushed forward to accommodate a concert environment that’s open to the public “mini Coachella”. Parking becomes a struggle starting at 2:30pm and restroom lines 20 people deep. Aside from that Penmar is a fun little course to play!
