This was my first time playing at this course. I had played at the encino course and it was decent. This course was slighty worse. The fairways on every hole are in bad shape. On the upside, the greens on all the holes are in great shape. Definitly not what I was expecting after teeing off. Is it worth the $40 green fee? Not right now. I will play here again in the future though.

OOPS, I MEANT BALBOA IN SAN DIEGO, NOT ENCINO!!!!!

I PLAY BALBOA 3-4 TIMES A MONTH, AND THE COURSE IS IN A LOT BETTER SHAPE THAN IT WAS 6 MONTHS AGO. THE MANAGEMENT GOT THE WORD TO FIX SOME OF THE PROBLEMS. MOST OF THE TEE BOXES ARE SORT OF ROUGH, BUT THEY ARE WORKING ON THEM. THE FAIRWAYS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, AND SO ARE THE GREENS. EVEN WITH THE RAISE IN FEES, ITS STILL A GOOD VALUE. IF YOU AREN'T IN GOOD PHYSICAL CONDITION, THE LAST HOLE IS TOUGH. I CALL IT "CARDIAC HILL"

This course is possibly in the best shape I have seen it in the past five years. The greens are great: fast, smooth and they hold very well. This course is once again fun to play due to its condition.

Course is a long walk, recomend a cart. Difficult if you are wild off the tee's

Greens were in pretty good shape, rolled nicely, Tee boxes just punched.

Played course this past weekend and greens were terrible.... which is a shame because the course does have a bit of character. The greens on Encino are in much better shape.

Early Sat. time played at 4 hrs. The course was hurting however. Maybe the recent heat, who knows? The greens on the front 9 were quite crappy. Many bare spots & quite a bit of broad leaf grass cropping up. Doesn't seem that anyone is trying to stop this. Too bad, a month ago this course was in really good condition. Greens were quite furry as well. The greens on the back 9 were a little better. Tee boxes were very scabby & there were 2 alternate greens that were not posted at the starter's window.

Greens in better condition than expected. Fairways very spotty.
