Out early, on what is expected to be another hot day. I'm told they punched the greens last week, but they appear pretty much healed. Fairways generally fine, with good coverage. Bunkers not yet maintained, so difficult to be too critical. Always enjoy this course. Enough of a challenge to enjoy, but not penal, so makes for a stress free round.

Course conditions were very nice but that’s where it ends. No marshalls to help with slow play. There was a group three holes behind and when we spoke to the pro shop at the turn he responded have patience and grab a beer. Speaking of beer, temperature was in the 90’s and no bev cart. I know this course isn’t run by American golf, but they seem to have the same attitude - give me your money, shut up and deal with it.

Played in the Saturday Rancho Park Golf Club tournament at Brookside #2 and found the course to be lacking in a lot of areas, but it was still a fun day out despite the scorching temperatures that greeted us with a 10:20am tee time.

First off, the driving range is entirely too limited for a two-18 course with this much business. I wish they could find a way to improve that - maybe a second level? It's far from ideal having to wait in a significant line for a stall to open up with limited time before your call.

In terms of course conditions, again, it's not that great but it's playable. There is a massive dirt patch from the concert stages just before the green on the first hole and right after the tee box on the 18th. This section makes the Links at Victoria look like Bandon. After that it's better, but you're never going to confuse this 18 with the more pristine and challenging #1 course.

Greens were in good shape despite all the other issues - no real complaints there. Not too fast or anything, but solid enough. The fairways are dry, thin and a bit haphazard to be honest, but some of the holes are just fine. The bunkers were very thin and not great to hit from, while the rough was not penal in the least and just an extension of the thin conditions from the fairways. Tee boxes were pretty beat up but nothing too awful (we were assigned the white tees for my flight).

As previously mentioned, it was an incredibly hot day so thankful to have the cart service running around but I don't recall seeing a water station to refill the Hydroflask until around the sixth hole or so. Did I mention it was really hot? POP was not really high-intensity but then again it was tournament play so it's what one expects at those events.

So overall it's just not quite as satisfying as the other 18 at Brookside, but could be a heck of a lot closer if the conditions were more favorable. That's obviously tough to maintain though as the summer heat really starts to pound down on Pasadena.

Played a Friday round at Los Verdes this week with an old high school buddy just getting back into golf and then found out he's been on GK for years longer than I have! Good fun playing with toddieo and getting to see all sides this Palos Verdes gem has to offer.

Our weather fluctuated all afternoon from warm, blue skies, to rolling fog and putting the pullover back on depending on the hole. Slightly more consistent were the course conditions that were not too bad depending on where you found your ball. There were a lot of good sections in the fairways, but also a few too many thin spots for my liking, but this course gets an unbelievable amount of play, so that must always be kept in consideration.

The greens were running quite nicely. They weren't necessarily as fast as I remember them in the past, but they rolled true and consistent - evidenced by a no 3-putt 29-putt round. They held shots well but are also quite tricky and many a slope if you're unfamiliar with them. The tee boxes were in good shape (we played from the white tees) overall, while the rough and the bunkers were also very playable but not quite pristine. Everything is in good working order right now - let's just put it that way.

Price is always right for Los Verdes and we got a great tee time online the day before. There was no cart service that I can recall but stopped at the cafe/grill during the long(ish) walk from the 9th green to the 10th tee. This course will still give you plenty of challenge from the white tees if you're a mid-handicapper like myself, and I've realized that I have a lot more fun playing it from there than maxing out on the blues.

A true LA experience that rarely disappoints, except of course if the POP is out of whack, which it often can be, but we did pretty decently in that regard this past week, despite a rather slow group ahead of us who got better at keeping pace as the round went on.

Played Sunday in summer heat wave course conditions (high 98 temp) with a noon tee time.
100% sun and light breeze for a few holes on the back. I arrived early and there was more than an hour of open tee times. POP was at our own choosing. Alex and I joined by MattP and his friend Z from Mammoth making the trek to this out of the way resort course. Set-up for dual GK cup matches for mpisarski01.
80 miles to Copperopolis from GB all on the back roads or small CA highways. No shoulders in the rural areas. Tight roads helped me keep my drives in the generous fairways today?!
Using a Golf Moose voucher with the weekend restriction after 12.
Course in summer watering condition. Fairways perfect in some areas, wet in a few low spots and brown on the bumps and crests. Couple areas marked GUR through the green.
Greens were all in good shape rolling smooth and overall a bit slow. No large tiers or undulations, and I recall three of us putted from the same general area, near the hole the balls missed the edges with different directions of break. Subtle according to style of stroke? Fun. Not fun the bunkers variable from hard pack to thin to mud. One I need to drop entangled in the exposed under layer to a mucky bottom. Need some luv.
The rough wasn't too long well kept. Landing areas on the outskirts the long dry grass was cut down. Anything with water nearby had high thick grass and was where I lost two balls.
The par 3's are interesting with some length and are from elevated tee boxes. The 4 and 5's you are playing up to a many with the approach shot. All good holes bunkers provide sight and target lines off the 5 sets of tees.
There are bungalows available for rent on property about $399 /night two bedroom. Nice course for a group outing and I think enough other outdoor recreation in the area to explore a few days not golfing.
Restaurant was open closed early. I had a beverage and Alex an burrito. Sunday heat and sparse amount of players.
The pro shop said that the prime time condition for the course is the later spring time. And the surrounding foothills would be green not golden color.
Recommend Ten hour day total at my leisure.

Played Sunday 7/23, 9am shotgun, nice sunny warm day. Winds 1/2 - 1 club. I struggled with the altitude adjustment. Most of the time I didn't give the altitude enough respect as I tried to adjust for the wind... other times, I was short, and sometimes it was perfect. Greens are pure... fast... about a 12 downhill, 10 uphill. I couldn't figure out if the grain was affecting it, so I just adjusted speed for up and down hill and it worked out. Very pretty course right on the shore... I rank it #2 public, under incline.... Edgewood is prettier and has more wow factor, but Incline is the better, more interesting course, IMO. And half the price. However, I am looking forward to my next opportunity to play here, as it's a fun time.

Played Sat 7/20, 9am shotgun, nice sunny warm day. I love this course... it's my favorite public in the tahoe area. Greens were perfect, fast. Grainy... running a 12-13 downgrain, fast 10 into the grain. The whole course is in great shape. 18 interesting holes. Can see the lake in the distance, as some of the holes frame the lake perfectly. Play the 7-8% altitude distance adjustment to sea level. Have to trust it. I was pin high all day because I did. Always look forward to playing here.

Played in a small group match between AZ vs LV.
Sunday, July 21, 2024. 7:37am.
It got up to about 110° and the pace got slower and slower, we came back in at about 12:30.
First time playing here since they’ve changed the greens from a year or so ago (I don’t remember exactly when that was). Anyway, they recently punched the greens and it was bumpy and still very much healing- and on the slow side.
The fairways were good and running a bit- and mowed closely. The sand in bunkers were on the firm side but it had sand. The tee box were lush and the roughs were as well.
I’d wait a couple more weeks to play this if you’re planning to come out but the views all around is still pretty nice.
Beverage cart came around a couple times. They only had one person working there course. The staff were good and attentive.

Played 7-18-24 early morning walking for $30(senior rate) and finishing in a little under 3 1/2 hours. Tee boxes were level with good coverage. Fairways lush and green with ball sitting up nicely and good padding. Rough in good condition, not to long in most areas but there is some thicker stuff. Was in one bunker with nice soft white sand. Greens rolling true with medium/fast pace and playing semi-soft. Overall course in real good shape. Great customer service. A real nice early morning walk.

Had some time in my schedule and wanted to play somewhere nice that I had never played before. Was able to procure a tee time via San Diego Golf Reservations at 11am on July 18th. It was expensive at $475, but it did include a forecaddie and full use of their practice facilities (which are stellar).

Played as a single with the forecaddie. Sent me off the 10th tee so I would not be behind a ladies tournament on the front. Good management. Finished in 3 hours playing at a very leisurely pace. Ran into 1 foursome and they were very kind and let me right thru, exchanging good wishes. Nice.

As expected conditions were very good to great. Greens were in great shape, but not oppressively quick. Greens were also relatively flat with no really huge undulations. Fairways were close to perfect with great lies, full coverage, and nice rollout. Only downside to the course was that a couple of bunkers were a bit low on sand.

Course is about 5-6 miles from the coast in Rancho Santa Fe in a gated community. Course is fairly tight with some beautiful homes surrounding the course. The forecaddie was very helpful, but the course is not overly quirky with only a couple of blind shots.

Hard to say it is worth it at $475 per player, but as a one off experience it fit the bill. I was treated very well, the forecaddie was awesome, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I am fortunate that I can afford something like this and I would do it again. YMMV.

I will be leaving SoCal to live outside of Charlotte, North Carolina early next month. Love the work that Johnny does with this site, just wish the LA area had more golf courses.

Course closed for good several months ago.
Converted to high end housing track.
Dunedin course down the road closed for complete overhaul expected launch Nov 1 hopes to be hi end rate and conditionwise..I hope so as member.

It's been while for a review on this one, I played it for first time today. Here's an update. Only Front 9 open now so if you play 18, you play the F9 twice. I was told the full 18 will open by end of year (2024). Links course, I'm not kidding, they even have deep pot bunkers and super undulating fairways & greens. If you haven't played here before, expect a few 3 putts and maybe a 4 (putting for Eagle, I had a 4 putt on a green with double-whoop-dee-doos, tough!). I found the course challenging and actually liked playing the F9 twice since this was my first time and knowing this course is the key to reducing strokes. Greens roll medium but tough to read. POP was between 4-4.5hrs (F9 was longer due to a group that chose not to play 18) Ok, short review for now but I'll go back for sure because it's not your typical flat fairway, boring green course.
