As the previous post says, pretty sad. Played our Club's monthly tournament here Sat 1st tee time was scheduled for 10 am , went off at 10:20. They put in two groups ahead of us, a female 4 some that was slow, then an all male 5 some that was really slow they were at least a hole behind the girls. Tourney is usually 4.5 to 5 hrs, today it was 5.5 hrs.

The course was OK, give it a 5. Tee boxes were OK, some had divotsl The fairways were decent, although many had dry areas and muddy areas. The greens were kind of fast, not too many ball marks (have seen worse). Everything breaks to the ocean, your mind tells you otherwise, but heed my words.

Beverage cart came by to the group ahead of us, we were within a chip shot away then she took off. Came back around when we were on the 16th fairway and passed us up. No water on the course except at the restrooms, holes 4 and 12.

Highlight was the scenery, great vistas and the weather was a balmy 78 or so. Would not go out of my way to play here on my own.

Gad, I hate to say it but these guys are right. I've played here regularly for 10 years and never, ever seen it this bad. Other than the greens which are just fine, well, I think you know what's happening by reading the previous posts. It might not be until 2008 when things can begin to return to normal. Sorry to have spread the bad news but it is what it is. If anything changes, I'll be the first to let everyone know.

It's not run for the hills, its run from the hills. The hill that Los Verdes sits on. PlayedThurs Aug. 16th., and trust me Bad service is not the word. Also the back nine has major construction going on and the 5 temporary tees. Fairways were horrible big mudd track all over the cousre. Really bad. A far cry from it used to be. JUST NOT WORTH IT

You play Los Verdes for the tremendous views -- Not the lousy customer service. Allow me to poopoo the staff on Sunday. I was playing with a group of senior citizens (50+) two were riding; one walking. The riding twosome's cart was down on power by the 14 tee box. They called it in. In fact they used my mobile to TRY to get a replacement. No replacement arrived. In fact those poor gentlemen had to walk 17 and 18 only b/c their cart died on them. Now I am not blaming the starter that answered the phone; nor the non-response from the cart barn of young kids workign there. I am peeved at the fact no one bothered to do ANYTHING! I mean he gave the cart number, the starter said he would send a replacement, in fact our guy gave him the hole we would wait for him with the replacement. Someone should have had the courtesy to get out a replacement. One of the twosome nearly threw out his back as he tried in vain to push the cart up a hill. And there are more than their fair share of hills on that bloody course. Now me, I walked. No biggie but I sure felt sorry for the two that had to shlep their bags for the remainder of the course. As one of them put it, "I don't mind walking so much on a course, in fact I love walking on the course. I ride to conserve my strength so I can play 18 holes." Now if that wasn't a bloody crime I don't know what is.


Ok now for the golf course, greens are great. They run smooth, true, and towards the ocean (downhill). Fairways also in great shape except for 11. Rough is thick but manageable and a bit sparse in spots. Tee boxes has more than their fair share of uneven tees so you may need to adjust your drives. Overall course played slow -- 6 hours. Terrible but the folks in front may have been awestruck by the views on this great day. BTW staff better get a bead on their water dispensers on hole 6. They were completely out. No cart girl and this was a weekend! It was hot around 85F with a cool breeze, and don't tell me I could have held out from taking in any water. I am only glad I brought my own. I mean great golf but lousy facilities and service if you ask me. If you want to play an exceptionally long round or just want plain lousy service well I would recommend Los Verdes. It's a far cry from what it was when this was my HS home course.

First time to play LV,Very challenging layout and Yes ... the greens were hard to read(I read many reviews from here GK and my golfing friends before I went to play). Very difficult to play for first timer and the beginners. You need someone to help you guide this course. Hole#18 was very soggy around last 100 yards and green area. As I said the greens were very hard to read but all those unrepair divots (what a shame ;; ) making some grees very bumpy. Half of the teeing area were very uneven and in bad condition. But like to challenge this course again.
After the round, the starter ask us to pay GPS fee??!! What GPS fee??
Didn't know they charge one buck per player to use GPS even though the GPS was attached in the cart (Bad business, what's next$$$.. score card, pencil, bathroom??!! very cheap golf club) By the way our GPS was not working and I had to tell a starter they should remind us before our tee time. For this time we didn't have to pay that unreasonable extra fees.

Played 7/18. Tried to walk on as a single, took well over an hour, got there at 7:45 did not get out until after 9. Saw a threesome go out around 8:15, when I finally asked about it, was put out right away. Course was in horrible shape, lots of dirt on the fairways and tee boxes, no sand in the traps, took way to long, was only on 15 after 2PM had to walk off. Reminded as to why i never play there, even though it's my closest course, way to overated, views are not worth it.

Well, I've heard from a reliable source that the new irrigation system begins at LV this month, so be prepared. Best to call first but be ready for a few temporary tee boxes and greens ... the project should roll over into 2008 as they will only work a section at a time. Also, no construction on weekends but the GIR areas and temps will still be there. Green fees going up, too, but only a few bucks.

Played this course for the first time after many tries and were not able to get good tee time. The course was as good as what I heard from my friends. The fairways and tee boxes were very good. On many holes, you have to be familiar with how the ball would roll. The GPS were great. It give some tips on how to play the hole. The greens rolls real nice, but were very hard to read even you know the balls will roll towards the ocean. My only regret is that the marine layer blocked much of the ocean. I really did not get to appreciate the beauty of this course. You cannot beat the price. Any place else this course would cost 5 times more.

Played today, got out @ 0804 on time. Took a little over 41/2 hours. Only waited on the par 3's-(No waving up today). Fairways good condition. Greens in very good condition, rolled smooth and fast. Just tough to read as usual-(Always toward the water, right?)
