Played 4-27-26 mid morning, walking in a little under three hours. Tee boxes were in good shape, mostly level with good coverage and minimal divot damage on par threes. Fairways were in nice shape, good roll out with nice lies, and a few minor thin areas. Rough was in really good condition, 2-3 inches very green and lush. Was in a couple of greenside bunkers that had some very nice well groomed brown sand. Greens were in good shape, rolling medium/fast and playing semi-soft with a few areas that are still healing from being punched. Always love playing here. Solid track that is just fun to play. Wish I got up here more often. Highly recommended.

Catching up on great Monday last week at Mulholland Hills Country Club…formally Braemar CC but hardly resembles it now.

It was a smaller outing than we’re accustomed, only 82 players this time, but the experience lived up the hype surrounding Lanny Watkins, $3,000,000+ course renovations.

We again played the Canyon/Vista combo as this is their best combo of the three nine despite a wild cart ride through the Tarzana hills. Between the Canyon/Vista nines, having played them twice now, there is not one let down hole with all being very interesting and fun. For me, as a member of Braemar CC in the early 90’s, it’s remarkable how much the golfing experience has changed and improved over the years.

Conditions this time around were great but not as good as the last time since during our previous visit the Vista course had just opened only a few days prior so you can imagine how pure that was.

I loved the clubhouse, practice area and staff. Service is A+ and the views from the clubhouse of the Vista course are outstanding. Although detached from the clubhouse, Mulholland Hills CC practice area has two large shuttles taking players back and forth from the event staging area giving everyone a chance to warm up. They have a nice size range, practice putting, practicing bunkers and chipping.

We’ve already had two events here in 2026 and I’m considering a third.

I highly recommend Mulholland Hills CC to any golfers looking for membership or an outing to book in North LA/Ventura County.

Thanks so much rgm2525 and GDR23 helping out with another successful Vivid Golf/GM/GK Private Course event.

Played sun 4/26, 8:30, 4:45 hr round, misty cold day, threatening to rain but never did. Course in good shape. Greens running a 10, bumpy... too many unfixed ball marks. tee to green is decent. above avg muni golf shape. Bunkers spotty. Course is notoriously challenging if you are not straight. Lots of trees. A few holes I don't like the setup. Keep the ball below the hole, as many of the greens are steep back to front. Range is under 220, so no driver for me. Had a good time.

Played on Saturday, April 25, in a fundraiser for the Riviera Village Sportsmens Club. Scramble format with a 10:00 am shotgun start. About 20 some odd years ago, two co-workers and I would play this course on Friday mornings before work. So I was interested to see how it had changed.

The course is pretty much the same except the greens are better. They were really very nice, running at a fast speed and rolling nicely. The course is a par three layout with holes running from 80 to 180 yards. Easy walking course which is good because it has been years since I started drinking beer at 10:30 in the morning. They are playing the first tee from the longer, upper, tee. I thought back in the day that they were not using that tee in order to limit possible shots going into the hotel's patio. It would take a really, really bad shot to do that though so apparently they have adjusted. The worst part of the course was the tee boxes which are really in need of grass. There was a mat on each tee but we were playing from the markers and those areas were lousy. Otherwise no complaints, the course is lush and obviously well maintained. I note that they took out the parking lot next to the clubhouse to install three pickle ball courts. We had to park at the adjoining hotel although the course validated parking. Word is the parking lot may be coming back sometime in the future. Considering we had to walk through a conference's registration (before the round) and lunch (after the round) area for ingress and egress, changing the parking layout seems a good idea.

Played last Friday morning teeing off at 6:10 am finishing in 3:50. As many have mentioned playing fast on this course requires teeing off early. The greens were in very good condition. They rolled smooth with medium/fast speed and held shots. Greens are being aerated on Monday, April 27. The fairways have mostly good coverage with some thin spots. The rough has mostly good coverage with some thin/bare spots. The bunkers were in good playable condition. The tee boxes had decent coverage with some mildly unlevel areas. Los Lagos has an enjoyable layout with some rolling terrain and water coming into play on several holes. The staff was friendly.

Forgot to post a review a couple weeks ago. Since there has not been a recent review I am posting it now. Los Amigos golf course tee time site today shows this message, "STARTING MONDAY, APRIL 27th, LA COUNTY SANITATION REHABILITATION PROJECT BEGINS. LIMITED PLAY MON - FRI "PLAY SAME 9 TWICE." SATURDAY/SUNDAY - REGULATION 18 HOLES." I could not find any information as to how long the project will take to complete or when the course will resume normal operation.

The greens showed very little signs of aeration a few weeks ago. The greens rolled reasonably smooth with medium speed and held shots. The fairways have mostly decent coverage with some thin/dry areas but playable. The rough is in much the same condition as the fairways and was long enough to affect shots but not to penal. The bunkers were in decent playable condition. The tee boxes were thin especially on the par 3s. Fun course on the shorter side with challenging greens. The staff was friendly.

Played in a Rancho Park Men's Club tournament this weekend and the venue of choice was the always fun Brookside #1 in Pasadena. We played under threatening skies that fortunately never broke, but it was a little cooler and windier than normal, making for an even more challenging round than usual on this tough course.

My group had a 10:50am tee time with two walkers and two riders. The carts at Brookside I noticed now have speakers built into the sides, almost like sideview mirrors on your car. We were assigned the red tees (thanks to my currently abysmal handicap), which was still a good challenge at this long course but actually was pretty fun to move up and not stress as much on every tee shot.

Greens were running really nicely and quite speedy, but the pin placements on some holes were absolutely diabolical. There's nothing worse than chipping on past a pin and then seeing it on the downhill side of a harsh slope with no chance to stop it. Everyone suffered. The ball on some greens seemed to pick up pace going uphill! It was pretty crazy, but they're in good shape and rolling nicely.

Fairways were just okay to be honest. There weren't a ton of lush areas, but everything was playably thin. I've seen it much better out there in the past so I trust they will get back to that condition soon enough. Rough was playable and accessible. I did not face any bunkers all afternoon but I watched my playing partners perform admirably and heard no complaints. Tee boxes look to have been recently worked on so they were in nice shape, maybe in some cases a tad bit shaggy but overall quite good.

We had cart service swing by twice which was great and of course the course layout is one of SoCal's best as they routinely host SCGA qualifiers here due to its quality. Never a bad time out in Pasadena at Brookside #1 ...

Walked the white tees yesterday, Sunday, 4/26. Tee off at 6:40am. $53 to walk and POP was fantastic at 4hrs, a little waiting on the first few holes, but then smooth sailing.

1PLUS1 review is spot on! Nothing to add. I would avoid this place for the next 3-5 weeks. The South looked nice from what I could tell driving in and out of the complex. Maybe hit that course if you need to play Admiral Baker in the near future.

Played Course 1 (2,652) on 4/19 and Course 1/2 (5,155/64.9/110) on 4/23/26 from the Green tees after the two nines had come out of green maintenance/aeration the week prior. Not much has changed in the way of conditions here in the 10 months since I resumed playing. Tees are usually good but many on these two nines are somewhat or severely sloping. Fairway bunkers are very firm and greenside bunkers lack sand and are difficult to play from and control your shots. [Shop said an extensive bunker renovation program is planned soon - we'll see.] Fairway lies are tight but usually good with pretty good runout (for kikuyu), while rough is highly variable and you can get the ball in a grass clump, sitting down in an uneven area, bare dirt, and who-knows-what. Greens are consistent in term of speed and firmness, with more exposed greens being firmer/faster in the late afternoon. The recent aeration left some limited areas on greens with visible sand fill and softer landing conditions, but those should clear up quickly.

No cart girl or ranger at any time. The course is generally pretty busy as the membership here is large. Many walkers and personal carts but play usually moves OK – we finished 4/23 in just over 4 hours.

Played 4/26/26 8 am. Very busy course even in the morning rain. Fairways had mostly good to great coverage with a few thin areas mixed around. Rain made everything soggy with little to no roll. Greens had good coverage. Very soft and bumpy. A few had not completely recovered from areation. Traps very firm from rain. Over all the course was in decent to good shape. The home to long rounds but worth try if not in a hurry.

Played on Saturday before the rain. Course was in good shape except for the usual spots in the fairway where it seems difficult to grow grass year in and year out. Looks like a truckload of sod was used to cover up most of the spots but more work needs to be done imo. Strange that they used the same fairway sod to fix surround areas (fringes of the greens). Completely different grass. Don't know why they just didn't use putting green sod from their turf farm. Greens haven't fully healed from aeration 4+ weeks ago. Golf ball still wobbles down the line, but soon should be back to normal. Green speeds were quicker than they looked. Rough is knarly. Member-Guest in a month so expecting significant improvement.

Saw that there wasn't a review of this course for almost 3 years, I got there and I found out why... Even with the Golf Moose coupon, I don't think I would play here again. I don't like bad mouthing any golf course because many of them are being taken away here in Southern California, but this course should completely shut down and revamp. Everyone that works here has a great attitude though- oh yeah, the cart girl is IG famous. She's very friendly and modest, but drop dead gorgeous... But back to the review- Tee boxes bushy and very uneven. Fairways had several different types of grass with clovers and daisies mixed in everywhere. Sand traps are all over the place and they are terrible- just dirt and mud for the most part. The course is a Pete Dye design and there's the telltale railroad ties and bunkering on most of the holes. Greens were the best part of the course and they had shelves and big undulations on them. They rolled smooth for the most part and should be fully healed in a week or two. If they would put some money into this course, it would really be a fun track. The employees are exceptional and are genuinely glad to be there- that's what stood out the most...
