I'd played here on Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 pm. I didn't have a tee time and decided to walk on. Twillight was only $20 to ride. Awesome deal!!! Front nine was great...greens was good but rolled kinda slow. The back nine was horrible because the greens were being aerated. Sand everywhere...it was like putting in powered snow. Not bad for the $$$ but even better in 6-8 weeks. Had a great time...the round only took 3 1/2 hr to finish...hard to do that on a L.A golf course.

Played Saturday afternoon, and I don't think I will be back. The course plays very slow, three hours to play front nine, then there was a three groups waiting on the 10th tee. We moved to the moutain ... Continue »

Played Saturday afternoon, and I don't think I will be back. The course plays very slow, three hours to play front nine, then there was a three groups waiting on the 10th tee. We moved to the moutain nine and played that. That was a mistake, that nine should be called the hackers nine. I got into a sand trap that I could not get out of because the sand looked like a funnel. It was hard packed and everything went to the middle of the trap where the ball is at lest eight inches below your feet and no way to get a club on it. And what is with a 409 yard par 5? Never have seen anything like it. When we arrived at the course and checked in with the starter he told us to wait because he had paper work to do, it took us another 10 minutes for us to tell him our name. I paid only half price ($26) because of a Red-Dot discount, and I think I was a sucker for paying it.

The first regular-size course I ever played. I played on 3/6 after not having played there in probably 10-12 years. I remembered it as a long, flat course, but there were nuances to the course I had forgotten about. I like the palm trees that can get in the way of a pulled shot on the par 4, 387-yd 4th hole. There's the hill you should hit over, that's more intimidating then it should be, on your tee shot on the par 4, 361-yd 6th hole. The gigantic par 4 463-yd, eighth hole, where you're in a huge tree jail if your tee shot goes off to the right. Staring directly into the sun in the afternoons on the par 4, 374 yd 17th hole (or 8 on "Pine" as it's now called) and burning your retinas out. The greens are old-fashionably small, especially noticeable on the par 5s. They played slow, but were smoother than I remembered. Bunkers had more sand then I remembered as well. After the rains, there were some puddles in the fairways. The stretch of holes from 12 thru 14 were especially wet. A lot of the tee boxes were uneven...many times I felt like I was hitting off of a sidehill draw lie. As part of a tournament, play was excruciatingly slow. The round easily took six hours, with groups packed in by lemmings. A marshal mentioned that the management company was changing in the next couple of months, with Arnold Palmer golf selling off its properties in California. So it will be interesting what affect the new management company will have on the course. The course was in much better shape than it was in the late '80s-early '90s, when for a time it seemed like a scene from the Oklahoma Dust Bowl.

Played River/Pine Sunday 2/27 early am. I would give the overall condition of the course a 6.
- There were some puddles and fairways were a little soggy.
- Greens were nice and rolled nicely.
- Tee boxes were a little shaggy but understandable considering all the rain.
- Sand was also pretty good. I only noticed one bunker with a puddle, #3 Pine.

It was just nice to get out and play.

Played Sunday, 1/28. First time playing this course. There were a few puddles but overall the greens were smooth and rolled nicely. Played River/Pine. Nice course and good value.

Course is still recovering from the storms. Course looks greener but not leveled and lush. The best attribute to this course are the greens. They are well kept but very slow and bumpy. They will be mowing them tomorrow. Good course for what it is, you know you pay for what you get.

Went out the first saturday after the heavy rain. Horrible customer service. Twilight hours change but I made my reservation one week in advance and they were going to charge me full price to play twilight. Good thing one of the guys in the pro-shop caved in after everyone in my foursome decided to leave. driving range is not grass they are all mats and need to be replaced. cheap golf balls though. Course is nice when not wet. The fairways need to have a better drainage system. Most of the fairways were flooded on the back 9. Good thing we didn't pay full price because we didn't get to finish only up to the 16 hole. The pace of play was horrible. They need to marshals out on the course not chatting with the snack cart girl. Tee boxes are terrible. Not a single leveled tee box. LA muni courses are a lot better in that aspect. Greens are decent. This is not a hard course but DO NOT GO WHEN IT RAINS or AFTER IT RAINS!!!!! Watch out for the Two korean starters. They are just D_ _KS! Not worth the drive from West LA. Should have gone to Rancho Park and spent the extra 6 bucks and walked.

Only course opened after heavy rain.Played 12/29/04 very few manias on course under the passing rain. Despite of water everywhere greens seems very nice.I guess the course in very good condition.
