First time solo

I have played this course many times with a friend but this was the first time I played as a single. The group I played with were very nice and it was an enjoyable round.

Loved it!!

With 100% chance of rain on the day of play coupled with Penmar’s “no rain check policy”, I played in the rain and it was awesome!

Noone was out! Benefit: fast play!! Benefit: no waiting!

We have our share of great weather days in SoCal but why not play in the rain?? It was an adventure and a joy to have the course to myself!

Wished had time to stay for the food, as their is a nice restaurant I like to stop in for after the round.

Final thoughts: I’m doing this again for sure!

Cheers!

PS - lots of pine needles on the greens, fyi

Fast Greens

Haven't played here in a while so found a decent tee time. Fairways and tee boxes were decent, green ran fast which was good. Found the bunker on the 1st which had good sand coverage. The only downfall was the groups of 5 making the round almost 3 hours. Will be back before the end of the year.

Excellent

I played with three elderly Gentlemen who play Penmar once a week for years. I had golf all wrong. These Gentlemen were so precise and on the fairway every drive. No rush, quiet talk laughter and praise on good shots.I was honored to be their fourth. Thank you. Hope to play with you again.

First Time Playing

A fun and forgiving little course.

While the pace was slow, because of the “5-some” groups, the course was fun and great for those who have a less than stellar handicap, as there are no water challenges. It’s a good long 9-hole course!

Great staff and nice course

This was the first time my girlfriend and I played at Penmar. The gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and took the time to explain the layout etc.. thank you for the hospitality and tips. :-)
