Pacific Palms Resort

Started at 10:10 on a Thursday morning, took 4.5 hours, so mediocre pace. Most staff were friendly. But one guy read me the riot act for parking on the barren dirt next to the cart path, instead of on the cart path itself, at a high-traffic intersection that maintenance workers were using in all directions. Relax, dude, I'm just trying to help get out of people's way.

The biggest mystery with this course is why they won't shell out a few hundred bucks for color-coded flags -- you know, red for front, white for middle, blue for back, like almost every other course in the U.S. A lot of shots are semi-blind to the green, so it sure would be nice to know roughly where the pin is. I'm not all that accurate, but even a mid-handicapper like me cares whether he's trying to hit it 140 or 160. Why make the distances a secret? It makes no sense. That's why I'm dinging a star for "course conditions."

The layout and maintenance are very good, and it's a tough but fair test. I just wish they'd put in a little more effort into making the experience enjoyable.

Best quality course in the are for the money. Extremely challenging and generally in good shape with the exception of the tee boxes and several bunkers which appeared unserviced. They did allow singles and twosomes to go out between foursomes which slowed play.

Staff friendly and courteous. Would definitely go back!

Not sure why there’s any negative reviews. This was as close to perfect a round could get. Different and difficult track!

The course conditions are horrible. Pace of play has always been an issue here, but the conditions keep getting progressively worse.

There is grass growing in bunkers. Standing water on a bunker on 18 and it has rained in LA in months.

Just overall disappointed with where this course has gone the last 3-4 years

Course was beautiful, but the groups in front of us were SLOW! No marshals, so it took us 5 hours.

Great course, great staff, intermediate play from blue/ white combo. Great layout.

People need to fix ball marks on the greens!

Latina cart girl was rushed and charged ny credit card twice for sane charge. She needs to be better so customers are not over charged. This will discourage players from coming back.
