Played yesterday, 3/6. Was my first time here since the renovation. Was disapppointed to find that the greens were being sanded, so can't review how these new greens really roll. I can attest that they are as hard as everyone else has reviewed. Also found the extremely high banked fairway bunkers to be amusing - if you're anywhere near close to the edges, your only choice is to wedge out. Most of the holes seem pretty much the same. The change to 10 is a good one, making it a dogleg now. Fortunately got out in the 4th group, and was able to finish in less than 4 hrs, but i'll bet this is a long round later in the day when the high handicappers are battling all the new sand on this track.

Played Sunday, Feb 27...tee time 9:30, teed off 9:45, late as usual...3 hour front nine, 2:32 back nine...golf course greens in good shape, practice green (only one) starting to show wear due to overuse, too bad they did not build others...fairway bunkers still too difficult for the average player especially when a single digit handicap has to chip out from 180 yards away...this new design theory where you must see all the bunkers in front of you has got to go...build the lips of the greenside bunkers as high as you like, 60 degree wedges are built for that but give us a chance to hit a medium or long iron out of the fairway bunkers...price will always be too high due to the fact that this is a MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE, BUILT AND ACQUIRED FOR AVERAGE JOE, NOT THE RICH PEOPLE...tough to stay away when you grew up playing this place and my only hole in one is old #5, but my wife might divorce me if golf requires $70 - $80 to play...here I come Lakewood and Recreation Park...

Ditto accross the board... greens and sand traps are excellent. Greens are hard and fast. Comparable to courses of $75+ a round. Divits everywhere as this course is heavly played. 30-40 pools of water all over the course from the heavy rains. The challenging greens make it worth the price.

They did a great job of redoing the greens on this course. They are no longer boring oval and circular shapes. They are larger and have many contours making for many easy to very difficult pin placements. The greens roll true and are well bunkered. If you can hit it 240+ yards off the tee there will be fairway bunkers to negotiate. High lips and ameoba like shapes make these bunkers a challenge to hit out of. Despite this, In my opinion, this course is about $10-15 overpriced. $41 for a weekday walker is too much. The fairways are rock hard with divots everywhere. There were about 40 areas of casual water. The drainage is obviously very poor. The layout is almost the same as before. Most links courses have more humps and bumps, Skylinks is too boringly flat. Lakewood, ElDorado, and Rec. Park are just as good or better than Skylinks at a lesser price.

Price is way to high ($53.50) for weekday. Greens are very difficult but good.

Course is still in good shape. Fairways and greens are very firm, so you get lots of run on tee shots, and you must play shots into the green short. Greens very quick and smooth. Rough very light, ... Continue »

Course is still in good shape. Fairways and greens are very firm, so you get lots of run on tee shots, and you must play shots into the green short. Greens very quick and smooth. Rough very light, almost non-existant. I really like the layout, and the coffee shop is open now.

A great course that should play shorter once summer hits which will help alot of players on the 18th hole, if you go for it make sure you can clear the water in front of the green. I find that around the greens the ground is hard and it makes chipping sometimes a challange. The best deal in town.

My first round since the remodel, and it was about what I expected. I found the course to be basically the same layout, but with many refinements and improvements. I liked it! The old Skylinks was not partically special, so this adds a nice addition to the Long Beach courses. I was surprised how empty the course was, but given the price desparity between Eldo & Rec, I understand. (I would still rather play those courses even if the price were equal, but given the additional $$, that explains the absence of players. (I'm betting in time the cost for the other two will increase and this course will decrease)
