2nd time playing here. Fun layout for an executive course, but the best thing that the course had to offer were the tee boxes. Lol, and they where just ok. All the greens, had some type of weed intertwined in them. Fairways and around the greens had a lot of dirt bare spots. Sand bunkers were hard pan. For my $18 bucks, I’ll rather invest them towards Small Rec, Ironwood, Navy cruiser or Heartwell. I hope it improves, only time will tell…

Met a friend for a quick nine. It had been a while since I played here. Course conditions are not good, to be kind. Greens are the best part of the course, and they were bumpy & slow. Fairways are mostly dirt, which on this course is not a big deal. Unfortunately the areas surrounding the greens are not much better.

Price is right, Staff is friendly, but in good conscious, can not recommend until condition improve

After getting "frosted out" this morning, decided to incorporate playing Bixby Village into an errand I had to do in Long Beach. Had not played here since August 1984. Course has changed.

After waiting for a couple groups to tee off, it took us about 100 minutes to finish the 9 holes, which felt like an eternity. Greens were decent, but rather slow. Fairways/rough was scruffy, but about what I expected. Not in any bunkers, they looked rather thin on sand.

I did not really remember the course very well. (No reason why I should have) Truth is I enjoyed the time on a rather brisk winter early afternoon. I have it calendared to return here in another 34 years !

I also played here today. I got there right around 4pm and it looked pretty empty driving in, but it was busier than expected. I got out right away as a single ($10.50 walking rate) and joined another... Continue »

I also played here today. I got there right around 4pm and it looked pretty empty driving in, but it was busier than expected. I got out right away as a single ($10.50 walking rate) and joined another single for the first three holes and then he stopped. I joined another twosome on the 4th hole and it was pretty slow going after that with a logjam of groups ahead of us. Total round took about 1 hour, 45 minutes. The course was in decent overall shape. A little rough around the edges, but mostly good enough playability. Tee boxes fine. Fairways decent. Rough hit or miss. Greens a bit bumpy and a little slow, but not too bad. Bunkers a tad thin, but manageable. Overall, it probably looked better from a distance (especially during the nice "magic hour" lighting late in the day that helped mask the flaws) than up close and personal, but I was having fun and didn't care too much. To me, Bixby Village is exactly what a short course should be: pure freaking fun. Three short risk/reward par-4s and a good mix of par-3s. Greens with a lot of undulation and a lot of mounding throughout the layout for contour/challenge. The donut-shaped 6th green around the volcano bunker in the middle is equally ridiculous and awesome. I would like to play the 8th hole a few more times to figure out how I should play it.

Played Sunday, nobody was out there, didn't have to wait at any tees. The customer service is always great at Bixby. It costs about $16 to play( 100% worth the green fee). Only 9 holes but its always fun playing at Bixby, I recommend it to all golfers. Hope to see you out there!

I used to play here every Wednesday morning for a golf class in college, a lot of hills, a lot of the greens and holes in general are unique, you could probably drive a green or two on the par 4's. Good service, nice quiet atmosphere. There are no nets protecting the houses so be careful.

Play today 4-4 morning. First time playing this little executive course. Had a fun time. Course has 3 par 4's and 6 par 3's. Hit the green on 1 on holes 4 and 8, but missed both eagle putts. Conditions are typical muni with slow greens. Wasn't in one bunker, but they look in good shape. Great place for beginners to play 9 holes.

Played yesterday in my effort to beat the traffic and it worked. Greens are fast in part due to the weather and soft. They rolled true considering you could see other grass blooms on the greens. Fa... Continue »

Played yesterday in my effort to beat the traffic and it worked. Greens are fast in part due to the weather and soft. They rolled true considering you could see other grass blooms on the greens. Fairways are dormant and thin in areas. Tee boxes are my biggest complaint -- Not one flat spot. Bunkers are OK...hard packed and playable. Course offers enough challenge for me to return. Pace of Play was decently quick. Finished the 9 holes in under 2 hours and that is following a threesome.

Would I play here again? Only if I am in the neighborhood. Loads more courses in the area that could play just as fast if not faster with slightly better conditions.

A decent executive course to work on your accuracy

Tee boxes are not level, a couple greens need work and pace is slow on weekends but for $16 it's a good 2.5 hours spent.
