Consistent

It's a really solid 9-hole par 33. Fun holes, challenging enough to test most clubs in the bag, pace of play is usually 2:30 for the round.

Best 9 Hole in LA!

My favorite 9 hole by far when you can use your Driver 7 out of 9 holes you know you can get some great practice for the value. They always pair groups in 5 and absolutely challenging playing with 4 strangers but always nice people I've experienced. Great weather definitely a must try for any Golfer of any level. Trust.

Not bad

For a 9 hole course it’s not bad- they make you play with 5 so slow pace and most holes straight

Best 9 hole on the Westside!

What a beautiful course that allows you to bring out your driver and blast away. The greens are kept super clean so the pace is as of country club. This 9 hole is by far my favorite with the beach weather just nice and cool and chance to play with cool and other players. Would definitely recommend to anybody trying to make the next step in golf and play the field.

Too slow for a Monday

The course is decent for a local 9 hole. The pace was slow....3 hours. One hole had about 3 groups before us.

Fairly long and easy 9 hole golf course.

Fairly long and easy 9 hole course with a few 5 and 4 pars. Opportunity to use all the clubs in the bag. Course and green conditions were reasonable. Steady pace of play (2 1/4 hours to complete). Very good value for the money. Will play it again for sure.

Awesome 9hole course by the Beach

One of my favorite local 9 holes where you can use your driver on most of the holes. Great practice under most beautiful beach weather that cannot be beaten. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to going again sooner than not!

Good value for the money

Decent 9 hole course of moderate length with a couple of par 5s and several par 4s. Wide open fairways, so fairly easy for the average golfer. Fairways and green are reasonably well maintained. Best value in the area other thaan Rancho Park which is very difficult to get tee times on.
