Played course on march 16 in a tournament. Course played very slow. Started at 12, finished at 6:15. The repairs are coming in nicely, but I can not believe how hard the greens are rolling. Barely tapped a putt from 5 feet on number 15 and the putt rolled 10 feet by. The wind is a major factor on the course. I would say the course can be very nice if the play speeds up and the irrigation gets fixed. The tee boxes were good, fairways- good, greens- very fast on some. I am a 6.1 and shot an 83. Overall a tough day when you have to hit and wait twenty minutes per shot.

Good, golly, guys ... it's been 6 months since I made a comment on LV so I thought I'd give you the straight poop. The good: irrigation is completed on the back nine and, believe it or not, it actual... Continue »

Good, golly, guys ... it's been 6 months since I made a comment on LV so I thought I'd give you the straight poop. The good: irrigation is completed on the back nine and, believe it or not, it actually looks like a golf course again. Some unusal selections of sod (Bermuda) but, hey, better than bare dirt. Bad: The front nine is still under construction and so it's still a complete mess (muddy) but should be done sometime in March. It may take until summer to come back to playable conditions, but that's what it is: an AmerGolf run muni ... take it for what it's worth. d%mn , they need to repair the tee boxes something awful, and the driving range blows ... at least the poa greens are consistent and the beer is cold.

Still under construction, but playable. The fairways in many areas are muddy and/or sodded. The greens were alright at least. I could see this place being favorite if the course was in better shape... Continue »

Still under construction, but playable. The fairways in many areas are muddy and/or sodded. The greens were alright at least. I could see this place being favorite if the course was in better shape with the nice views. Pace of play was slow, but I guess it's that way there all the time. The layout was decent. Only few holes had severe dogleg/blind shot type tee shots. You will definately play better the second time around.

For some reason they sanded the greens again today for the third time in the last month??? Course is still very torn up from the new irrigation system that is being installed. Hopefully it will be w... Continue »

For some reason they sanded the greens again today for the third time in the last month??? Course is still very torn up from the new irrigation system that is being installed. Hopefully it will be worth it in the long term. I would wait at least 3 or four months for the course to recover!!

Normally I would say Los Verdes is a very good course to play if you can get a decent tee time but things have changed over the past 10 years. This course is getting worse and worse over time, I don't know if it's poor management or cut backs on the maintenance. The overall course is in terrible condition except for the greens which are a little bumpy from the punch marks but they are very green and healthy. The views of the ocean and surrounding area are beautiful, Catalina was crystal clear but as much as I like a great view it's really all about the golf and this definitely wasn't it. This round didn't start off very well so perhaps I'm being a little harsh... we weren't told that it's "cart paths only" until after we'd paid and were actually on the 1st tee... I don't play courses that I can't drive to the ball because of my bad knee. Anyway, I would keep an eye on the ratings for this course to improve before I would play it. I'd rather pay more for a decent course than suffer through another round at Los Verdes... "Thumbs Down" for me!

THE GREENS WERE AERATED ON MONDAY 1/14 This course is all torn up and will be for several more months while they put in a new irrigation system!!

Played there yesterday 1-2-08 and after reading a couple of reviews here about the awful conditions, i should have stayed away from this course. But with spectacular views and a $36 green fee, what could go wrong......

Well, i got what i went for. Spectacular ocean views. This is the poorman's Peeble Beach. You have a view to the ocean on about half the holes. The 15th green alone is worth the price - it a par 4 green that uses the ocean as your background. Reminds me of the famous par 3 course in Peeble (i think 13th hole?).-----

So now for my review. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COURSE until next year when they are finished with their irrigation system. The fairways are all torn up. Temporary tee boxes in the middle of the fairways to accomodate digging equipment and crews working. The sod grass to replace the one's they've taken out are all dried up and very hard. I spoke to the contractor and they are expected to finish construction around April 2008. So i would go back there when everything is settled.-------

Another thing i didn't like about this course was the pace of play. I played on a weekday and it took us 6 hours to finish and we had a 40 minute delay in our tee time cause of the back up. I had a 10 a.m. tee time and the guy i played with had a 10:01 a.m. tee time. I asked the starter why 1 minute apart and he says that they do this cause just in case the the other group doesn't show up that they have another group ready. AND I'M LIKE - ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Why do that? this course would be spectacular if the management changes their policy of over booking. The starter told me that they do overbook just like the airlines. MY GOODNESS. I can't imagine playing here on the weekends. I heard from my playing partner that it sometimes takes them 6.5 to 7 hours to play. They pack everybody in there. We had a 5 some in our group and the group in front of us. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.--------The only thing good about the course that day were the greens.

I had to fight to get my green fees refunded as I refused to even tee off. I dont know how to hit over constrution equipment
