Played before Long Beach Match Play today. Course is in GREAT shape. Greens rolled very true with medium to fast speed. Greens were receptive to agressive approach shots. Fairways were in great repair as was the cabbage you had to hit out with the occassional errant ball. Overall a great round of golf for a course that WAS the premiere course for Long Beach.

Played in a two day tournament 5/14 & 15 and from the week before the greens have finally come all the way back. Thou sometimes they are just a little bumby but thats normal for this course. The rough is up and will cause problems mainly finding a ball. The bunkers which most of the time are the worst around due to being very inconsistant were very good for a change. The best deal and course around.

The greens have come back and the rough is up which makes this course tough. Not a long course but if you cant keep the ball in the fairways the rough and trees will make this place seem like a 7200 y... Continue »

The greens have come back and the rough is up which makes this course tough. Not a long course but if you cant keep the ball in the fairways the rough and trees will make this place seem like a 7200 yard course. The best value around.

Ahh El Dorado....
One of my faves, and yes the greens were not as nice as they have been. A touch bumpy and inconsistent. Overall the course was very lush for eldo, and the course is always a challenging track. You must find the fairways, and from there keep the ball below the hole. This is a shotmakers course, tight well defined holes, but still sneaky long.
Higher handicap golfers will struggle here, but it's a good solid test of golf.
I will be back often!

I too played in the Quad...thought that the greens were quite quick and decent after the recent aeration...way too much rough on the golf course, time spent looking for balls not condusive for better playing times...overall, I agree with last writer especially due to the fact that this is a Premium Course in the green fee categorie...I too will be at Rec or Lakewood...

Played in the Quad tournament today and was once again severely disappointed in El Dorado, the supposed crown jewel of Long Beach golf. Are the greens ever any good at El Do? Who is the greenskeeper, Clouseau? I play here 5-6 times throughout the year and they are never any good...PERIOD? The rest of the course is only slightly better. Rec Park, Skylinks, and Lakewood golf courses are much better golf courses if only for the greens. Please, El Do is a great layout, can someone get a clue over there and get a new greenskeeper and golf course superintendent. Its an embarrassment to claim it as "THE golf course in Long Beach" in the condition it is in. See you at Rec.....

After reading the prior reviews, I had expected the greens to have "recovered" better than I discovered. They were extremely quick considering how bumpy they are - a tough combination when trying to make a putt! No chance at stopping any shots, the greens were way too firm. Fairways were inconsistant, as was the rough. I like the course, which I always find to be rather difficult from the tips, but when you add bad greens, questionable lies in the fairway and in this .. wind, makes for a long day at "Eldo".

This has been my "Home Course" for the last 15 years. The Ted Robinson design (with a recent 'makeover') is very traditional and is deceptively challenging due to the abundance of trees. It is consistently punitive for any errant tee shot (automatically add a stroke). It will favor a consistently straight hitter but length is a must on most of the Par 4's or they become Par 5's (Par 6's if your errant AND short). Don't be in a hurry because it attracts all of the bargain hunters and the Starters promote fivesomes.
