Got out here last Sunday, December 8. First thing is a sign at the pro shop warning of a temporary green on Hole 2. Apparently, some yahoo did some donuts on the green overnight. Luckily, the damage seemed to be superficial. It did make for a great attempt at eagle, though, as the temporary green was about 100 yards short of the real green. With the weather getting cooler, the course is starting to show some over watered areas on many fairways. Staying out of those areas were challenging as they were not roped off.

Greens were medium speed, soft, and had many ball marks new and old. Not really bumpy but the appearance was just okay. They did speed up as the day went on and putting downhill away from the dam is always going to be faster.

Fairways and rough were decent coverage, but the farther you get from the center the worse the conditions get.

Bunkers were okay, but there's a serious lack of raking going on here. Etiquette might be lost forever.

Tees were level and in okay condition. Some were overly wet, especially in the shade. We all played the White tees, so I can't really comment on the others, but I think there was little difference.

I like the course. I used to work as a greenskeeper here on weekends about 25-30 years ago. Like all LA City courses, this one could be better and cheaper to play. I think it was $52 weekend rate, plus $10 per player to reserve. Ouch!

I played here last Friday, December 6, with some buddies from work. Many areas were over watered, but it's a lot better than it was 10 years ago when the old owners didn't have the water. We played the Valley/Mountain nines. they were overseeded a month ago. The Desert Course is currently under overseeding and maintenance and is closed.

The greens were medium speed and mostly good. Hole #6 on the Mountain Course (a par 3) was not mowed. Maybe it's under some kind of maintenance, but it was shaggy. Soft greens throughout and there were plenty of ball marks to fix.

Fairways were good for coverage. Not as green as you might expect for being overseeded. Very few, if any, bare areas. Plenty of divots in the popular zones; think 100-150 yards to center of the greens.

Rough on this course is a different story. For the most part, there's none. It's thin, bare, and mowed tight so your ball will find its way into the scrub brush for a penalty. There are a lot of burrowing animal holes throughout the rough on this course. Ground squirrels are prevalent here and you could lose a ball or get some terrible lie. There's a premium on fairway shots at this course. Anything else and you're possibly looking at a big score.

Bunkers were a mixed bag of mostly not good. Thin sand here and there, deep and fluffy in others. Typically, it will be more sand around the greens and thin-to-little sand in the fairway bunkers.

Tees were not great. Mountain #8 was undergoing some construction and all moved forward. It did make for some fun shots to go at this green (uphill 285 yards), although it's very well protected with numerous bunkers up the right-hand side.

Overall, the course was okay condition-wise. I really want to say it's great, or even good. I just can't. Maintenance could be stepped up. Maybe increase the size of the landing areas in the fairways and grow some real rough to keep your ball in play. Maybe trim some of the large heritage oak trees that tend to interfere with your shots.

There was no beverage service, but the carts have ice chests and there is ice outside the starters office. Drinks and food are available at the snack bar, but it's not cheap. The upstairs restaurant has long been closed. It's kind of a shame as the restaurant and bar used to be good. The future of this course could be looking up if the owner can build his dream resort like he has planned, but there has been push back from the local community. I will continue to play here occasionally as it's only $55 senior rate M-F.

I played here on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. We had the 8:40 time. Overall, course conditions are very nice. Everything was well moisturized from the previous days’ light but steady rain. Great customer service upon checking in. My buddy received a refund on the four senior players because there was no option for senior rate when booking online.

We got there early enough to have breakfast. Food is decent and reasonably priced. A better option for me would’ve been to go down to the range, but as it turned out, I never made it. I did have time to hit some putts; the practice green was good and not a lot of people using it.

On course, the overall conditions were pretty good. Great turf coverage from tee to green in all areas of the course. Greens were medium speed and did quicken up as the day progressed. Not too many ball marks to fix and they rolled true. We played the white tees on the front nine but moved back to the blue tees on the back nine. All the tees were level and not too torn up. Bunkers had good sand and appeared very well maintained. The beverage cart made several passes and kept the group hydrated.

For the senior rate of $60 riding I believe I will have to put this course on rotation.

I played here twice recently, last Friday, November 8, and last Monday, November 11. Course conditions are really nice at this time. Greens were running fast and smooth with just a few ball marks here and there that were easily repaired. The rest of the course has lush grass and level tees. I played the blue tees on Friday and the white tees on Monday, the mornings can get chilly out here and there is a possibility of a frost delay during the colder winter months. Friday we had the first group out at 7:30 AM. There was about a 45 minute frost delay for the first group. I was in a bunker on hole too, and the sand was frozen. It did warm up quickly and by 9 you could be wearing shorts.

Monday’s weather was a little warmer. There was no frost delay. It would have been a warmer day, but the wind came up before noon and was blowing pretty steady and kept things on the cooler side.

Greens: medium fast, smooth.

Fairways and rough: great coverage and mostly good lies.

Bunkers: Mostly good (if raked) with good sand.

Tees: Level and not beat up.

Range: Hitting off mats to a small valley with a handful of targets.

Pro shop: Friendly service and a decent selection of balls, hats, jackets , shoes, etc.

Clubhouse: Good selection of food and beverages.

I played here last Sunday in a small tournament. 10 AM tee. Course conditions were very good overall. Greens were in good condition, soft, rolling at a medium speed, with few ball marks. Fairways and rough had great turf coverage. Very few bare or thin areas. We played the avocado tees and they were level and lush. Bunker sand was plentiful, but some traps needed raking and many of them were on the damp side. Decent food and drinks in the clubhouse.

I played here last Saturday, October 5. If the greens were aerated two weeks ago, I could not tell. No evidence of holes or sand. Greens rolled smoothly with a medium speed. They were on the soft side and I fixed plenty of ball marks.

I checked in a little little early for our tee time and went to the range to hit some balls. This range takes up a narrow area along side of the 10th fairway. It’s basically dirt, and you’re hitting off of mats. It’s not terrible, and there’s a few targets to hit to.

The rest of the course is fairly lush and there was good grass coverage from the tee boxes to the greens.

Bunker sand was okay. I was not in one, but my playing partners seemed to have no trouble with them.

The primetime Saturday rate with the cart was over $80. It would be nice to come back mid week and walk the course at a much lower rate. Great service from the beverage cart. Nice bar at the clubhouse.

Played the front nine here last Tuesday, 10/01/24 with a small group of coworkers. Lush turf conditions from tee to green. Some areas were overly saturated, though. Nice definition between the fairways and the not-too-penal rough. Greens had a bunch of ball marks, some not repaired and some that were very poorly repaired. It is to be expected at this course as most of the golfers here are only out for a little practice round and have little knowledge of etiquette or respect for the course. It wasn't too terrible, and the greens ran at a nice medium/slow speed with occasional bumpiness. Perfect for the beginning golfer. The sand traps do need some TLC, like fresh sand, edging, and raking. Plenty of geese near the lakes and their droppings can be an issue at times. Overall, for $19 to walk/ $31 to ride late in the day, it's not bad. We did have the course to ourselves as it was a hot day. Beautiful long shadows and cooler temps as the sun was setting. The snack shop closes early, so you may need to bring your own if you go out late in the day. No biggie as the food is crappy here.

I am not sure who the new owner/course manager is but things are looking up here. The grass is lush. Greens were fertilized or chemically treated in some way with the blue dye being evident on the practice putting greens. Fairways and rough were very lush. Maybe too lush because they need to (in the midnight hour) mow mow mow! Lost a couple of balls in the deep rough. Most of the bunkers need some kind of maintenance: add sand and trim the edges. The greens were just medium speed but not slow. They were also very lush and soft. People might be fixing their ball marks; I saw only a few on the last couple of holes. Yesterday's heat kept the late afternoon golfers at home and the course was relatively empty. Our time was 5:20 PM. It was $19 to walk with an additional $12/rider, if that's your option. The area around the clubhouse has been fixed up a bit and the course looks nice overall. This is the course you go to when you have beginning golfers, and you want some short game practice.

Played Sunday, June 23, 2024, in a small tournament. The course is in great shape. Holes 1 and 9 were cart path only due to overly wet conditions (something about their well overflowing). I always find this course to be challenging with some narrow tee shots (especially off the Blue tees). Lots of ways to get your ball lost or stuck in a bunker with some crazy bunch grass growing in it. Who thinks of this stuff?

Greens: Rolling fast and true. These were the fastest greens I have played on this year, maybe in recent memory. It was easy to roll 10' or more past the pin. All the greens here are sloped, and it was tricky.

Fairways and rough: Good grass coverage everywhere. The rough was thick, but not too penal unless your ball settled down. The fairways were really nice with a thick cushion of turf under your ball.

Bunkers: Not too good as far as grooming. Decent sand in most bunkers, but they all needed raking. A couple of bunkers had wet, hard-packed sand.

Tees: We played the Blue tees and they were all in great shape. Level and very few divots.

Overall, I had a great time, and the course is in good shape. Parking at this time is a little in disarray due to construction of solar canopies in the main parking lot. There's plenty of parking but you need to drive around the construction to find it. The clubhouse has decent food at reasonable prices.

Good times today with Solinari619. The course is in good shape. The starting hole is now what used to be the 17th. It got me messed up for some reason, but I recovered and made up for it. Everything seems to be great on the course. For $165/player, it should be.

Greens: Medium fast. I could not hit a good putt all day, but they all seemed to roll great.

Fairways and rough: There's not a lot of rough, but good grass coverage was to be had everywhere. I never had a bad lie.

Bunkers: Nice sand; soft and light. Good bunker conditions.

Tees: We played the White tees. All were level and had great turf.

Overall: The course is as nice as I remember it; just way more expensive.

I played here twice in the last two weeks. Conditions are vastly improved from my past experiences here. There is a new management team and it appears that maintenance has been stepped up.

Greens: medium speed and soft. There has been a lot of ball marks, but most are easily fixed. Greens roll true.

Fairways: Good coverage overall. Some areas receiving supplemental water during the morning.

Rough: Slightly taller than the fairways, but a noticeable cut. Not too penal.

Bunkers: All looked decently groomed and had good sand.

Tees: Level and not too many divots.

Overall: this course plays slow for the yardage. Not unusual as it is an executive size course in a dense suburban neighborhood with not many other options nearby. The price is right, especially for walkers.

I don't have much to add to roarksown1's review/rating for last Friday, June 7. This facility has two courses and sees a lot of play. There's a huge parking lot, parkland adjacent, large practice area, and an old-school vibe that screams MUNI GOLF! Feels like going back in time. The proshop and cafe looks like your typical 60's high school single-story brick building. The restroom indicates "Men's/Women's locker room" but is nothing more than a restroom with no hot water or towels. Like the Woodley Lakes course nearby the two courses here are more or less flat. Lots of huge trees line every fairway and offer great shade during the heat of summer. If you like shade, just stay out of the fairways!

Good times to be had here and the price is right.
