CARSBYBIGD - my reviews are quite positive except for Skylinks. It was a dump, and it needed remodeling. In regard to Cypress - hardly anyone plays there anyway - which is one of the reasons it's closing - they priced themselves out of the local market.

FYI ... I've never played Ocean Trails and played Pelican Hills twice.

I'm a LB resident so I know the local course much better than you.

Saw a sign that Cal Olsen assoc. are doing the re-model job.This is the same guy who did Coyote Hills in Fullerton with Payne Stewart.It is looking good.

Hankola,the only reason I seem "enamored" is because it's on my way home from work,so I play there quite a bit.And since Cypress golf club is closing in April,there will be 1 less course to play.
Not everyone can afford $200 like you to play Pelican Hill or Ocean Trails.Have you ever given a good review to any course ?
I don't mind playing on a "average---to below average" course....= less people = faster round. Stay on your fancy courses.

I'm not quite sure why the previous poster is so enamoured with Skylinks. It was a horrible track with horrible facilities. It was the black-eye of Long Beach courses. I'm glad it's being remodeled - ... Continue »

I'm not quite sure why the previous poster is so enamoured with Skylinks. It was a horrible track with horrible facilities. It was the black-eye of Long Beach courses. I'm glad it's being remodeled - the golfers in the area deserve a better track. Even with the increased rates, the golf in Long Beach is a great value - resident or non-resident. People need to realize what "other muni" courses are charging. FYI ... Rec Park went thru some renovations years ago (i.e. cart paths) ... that course will not be touched.

An absolute shame to let this course go. A great course for all levels of play, including professionals like Fred Couples during the Queen Mary Open. Good luck Long Beach residents when American Gol... Continue »

Good luck Long Beach residents when American Golf convinces the mayor to charge double green fees when it reopens. Watch out, Recreation will be next...

Drove by today 10/2 and they have staked out the new fairways and greens.Lots of heavy equiptment rolling around also.Greens were being watered and they are still green.When all is done,those greens should be in the best shape without any play for a year.Will keep y'all advised as I drive by there every day.

They are doing a $7 million dollar rebuild on Skylinks, the course will close October 1, 2003 for approximatly a year. From what I've heard they are completely redesigning the course, not just 'fixing it up'. Currently, they've stopped watering the fairways and rough so it's all dead. Greens are still in OK shape. It makes for an interesting time.

Drove by today 9/8 and the course is as brown as can be , except for the greens, so they weren't kidding.Hope the renovation goes smoothly and quickly.
