PLAYED 2/24 TEED OFF AT 6:38 PLAYED 18 IN 4 1/2 HOURS. COURSE WAS IN GREAT SHAPE FROM TEE TO GREENS. YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH THIS COURSE YOU JUST NEED TO GET OUT EARLY OR LIKE ANY PUBLIC COURSE IN SOCAL EXPECT A SLOW ROUND OF GOLF.

Played 2/11 (Thursday). Started at 1pm thinking I could maybe finish 18 before dark. Boy I was wrong. 3 hours and 15 mins. later I was walking off the 9th green, with 2 groups waiting to tee off on the 10th. It seems this course is getting slower and slower each time I play. (way to many people on the course!!)
You can have no flow to a golf game when you have to wait this long in between shots.
Not worth the green fee!

Played Sunday. Not many people playing on Valentine's Day and Lunar Calender Chinese New Year?!??. Still the pace of play was 5 hrs. could be better if the group of four some front of us hitting two balls per player on some Par 3 holes. Of course NO Marshall. Conditiion of the green was fair and sandtraps got plenty of fresh sands. Tee boxes and fairways need TLC. Forgot to tell the starter after the round that on Hole# 7 par 5 around 150 yards marker on the right side of the fairway that there is BeeHive inside the one of the tree. Be aware.!!

1/2 of each green has been Aerated. Front 9 Tee Boxes have been resodded. Back 9 Tees are not resodded. Parts of the greens not aerated are a bit fuzzy but hold a good golf shot well. You can see loads of foot marks around the green, but if you are on the unaerated side of the green you won't notice it. Pace of play was GREAT. Finished in a little over 4 hours and the setting sun so there was plenty of light left. Fairways are in good shape. Tee boxes are also in good shape. Sand is nice and I saw more than my fair share of them. Front tees are being resodded so the course is not as long as it is normally. You can play really aggressive but you play mainly from silver tees so even par 5s are reachable in two. No mention on golf course home page they are aerating so I am here to say they did and they are aereated. Give them a few more weeks until they come back, but one thing for sure and Swing18 who was playing with me will agree, once those greens come back... they will be FAST and trecherous!

Played a practice round with OSCA1961 for an upcoming PLGA team play (Match Play) on Friday October 2nd 2009. The course overall is "good" shape! As you walk in from the parking lot, you'll notice that the fairways appear to be dying with brownish dead spots all over. Aesthetically it's not appealing, but your lies on the fairways are beautiful, lush, and react well when compressing the ball. I seemed to have lots of roll on these fairways since I last played here...since I only had about 125 yards to the green on hole #6, a very demanding long par 4 that plays about 450 yds. The greens were the typical municipal type conditions, lots of "unrepaired" pitchmarks by lazy golfers, but the ball was rolling pretty fast on these undulating greens. The rough wasn't too bad, it was almost as short as some of the fairways on some munis out there so you pretty much had a wide open space out there without running into trouble. Overall I'd give Lakewood a 7 on course conditions and a 10 on customer service!

A pretty nice course layout with enough challenging features to make it enjoyable. The fivesomes slow play down considerably. I played a 5 1/2 hour round - it is really hard to enjoy golf when you are always waiting to play. Green fees are reasonable - perhaps that's why so many people play.

Played this course on a Friday 7/17 with a 3:30pm tee time. It was pretty packed. This course is long, if you can't hit a seven iron at least 150 yards or more PLEASE play from the White Tees!

The course was in pretty good shape, the layout is flat and long. Fairways were good, greens held shots well and rolled pretty good. I'd say the green speed was about average. Sand and tee boxes were great. Carts were strong. A nice course but 5 hours to not even finish 18 is a bit ridiculous. Other Long Beach courses you could get through 18 easy.

This is decent course for the price but its not nice enough or interesting enough to suffer through a 6 hour round. I won't be back unless my buddies drag me back.

The course was in good shape overall. Some areas were a little soggy and bare but not too much and mainly in shank areas. Sand is wet but very playable. Ball marks were bothersome but improved over the round. Greens were soft and fast. I was very happy with the challenge of the layout and had a very fun round.
