Played on May 12, 2008 - Course was in pretty bad shape. If your game is not on, like mine was on that day, it is like playing a pinball arcade game with your golf ball as the pin.

Errant golf balls, though you can find them on adjacent fairways, tend to turn relatively short holes into double bogey nightmares.

On this course, though you may be tempted to play it this summer due to its relative proximity to Long Beach, do NOT play if your game isn't straight. It's just not worth the headache. From what I hear it is where the LB Open is played.

This is a course that really needs to work on their greens. The greens were punched at the end of March but they have not rolled them and they are very bumby. The 5 hrs for the round was ridiculous. Teeing off 25 minutes after our tee time of 7:37 am. GM didn't have a care in the world and made no effort to get tee times back on track. Wonderful golf course to play and very challenging, but the greens are something that need to be addressed, especially being one of two golf courses used for the Long Beach Open. The price is fair and makes golf very affordable for all golfers. Enjoy the layout, just don't let the greens get to you.

I thought I was in Sherwood forest with all the trees that lined this course. If you are NOT in the center of the fairway on your shot, then you will have overhanging trees to deal with. I often fou... Continue »

I thought I was in Sherwood forest with all the trees that lined this course. If you are NOT in the center of the fairway on your shot, then you will have overhanging trees to deal with. I often found myself hitting a 4 iron from 100 yds away. Other than that, it was worth the green fee and would definitely repeat.

Played last Friday. Boy do they stock up on 5-somes on this course. It was SLOW for a Friday. I mean almost 6 hours for a round of golf, I should have stayed at work. Greens were flat, ran true and very fast. Fairways were green and lush. Sand Traps were well stocked. Tee boxes were flat. Just the rough was a little thin around the water hazards making for tough lies. Should have played a lot better as my round started out well but couldn't get past the long waits on certain holes (almost 30 minutes each for Hole 9 and hole 12. It was 3 groups deep). This is a wonderful course for the money but with some many folks playing I found it really depressing as play should have moved a lot faster. Sorry but this body doesn't stop/start well. So continually stopping and starting really can play havoc with your game.

Played Sat. 3/28 in my club's monthly tournament. Course was in good shape except for the greens which have not come all the way back from recent aeration. Rough was thick as usual.

Played Super twighlight today 3/23/08.. Got away from the Easter Bbq.. I was pleasantly surprised by this course, it was definitely more challenging than Skylinks. If you are not in play in the fairways.. The course will make you pay with all the trees, it makes sense they play the LB city championship there.. The tee boxes, fairways and traps are in good shape. Lush and looking nice.. The greens on the other hand are recovering from the punching from two weeks ago.. On the front 9 the greens were quick, but on back 9 really bumpy and slow.. Overall I liked the course and would come back here again!!

I actually played this course Thursday and Friday, because it's close to my house and I'm getting to be a grumpy old man who hates to drive in traffic. Usually, El Dorado is a gooey mess after even the slightest bit of rain, and there were a few bad patches of mud scattered around the course, but not nearly as bad as in the past. The rough is a nice length. Punitive, but not so long that you can't find your ball in the trees. The greens are fantastic. The best I have ever seen them, with the only blemishes being the obligatory unfixed ball marks. This is a great course to walk, and the customer service is very professional.

It was a bit wet out from the rain but playable. I like this course, it's got some character... a lot of big trees. Overall the course is in good shape. One thing that bugs me... it's a course that... Continue »

It was a bit wet out from the rain but playable. I like this course, it's got some character... a lot of big trees. Overall the course is in good shape. One thing that bugs me... it's a course that gives local residents a break on green fees which seems to be subsidized by those having to pay full price.
