Please whatever you do... do not play this course... I repeat DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE!!! Is is a waste of your bleeping money! The course is in as bad of conditions a golf course could ever be in. The greens fees should be adjusted to no more than $15/round. Played today and it was unbearably slow and was hitting off of dirt lies all day. Tee boxes look like mine fields. Construction vehicles all over the course. Unruly course workers joy ride up and down the fairways... It is amazing the course is still open. Please heed this advice.

Course is not in great shape. Fairways are all torn up (but covered up) with recent work on the course. There are numerous vehicles on the course. A lot of the fairways were very thin in spots (more dirt than grass). On hole #7, you are hitting off temporary tee box. The tee boxes were mostly torn up from tee shots. Sand in the traps were fair. Greens were in fair condition. We saw a lot of unrepaired ball marks on the greens.

With slow play on the course, we just enjoyed the scenery and watched the sun set in the ocean. Great views of the ocean from the course. Otherwise, it can get too aggravating waiting to hit your next shot. This is not an easy course to play. Greens have a lot of grain to them.

Second half of a double header with Gerdaldq18.. I liked the course, even if it is under going some work. Some of the fairways are being torn up, and their are construction vehicles on a few holes. But the layout is fairly challenging and you can't beat the price. If you like fast greens with plenty of break, and nice views the course is for you. Worth the green fee, but beware it is going to take awhile to finish the round!!

I heard this was the cheap version of Trump for awesome views, too bad it was overcast and after the 9th hole it started to rain. We got to 15th (view would have been spectacular) and called it a day. Tee boxes were fair, some uneven and some barespots. Fairways were pretty much wide but at times thin. Seems like they were working on their irrigation, some dry, bare spots, sod areas and machinery was all over the place. Greens were in great condition, though the rain slowed some holes but they were rolling pretty true. 11th hole was pretty nice with the elevated tee box overlooking the hole and part of the ocean as the backdrop. Would love to come back here on a clearer day and after the maintenance is completed.

I drove up for my annual round at Los Verdes, yesterday. Lots of construction on the course. The first tee had been moved to the bottom of the hill, so the first hole played as a 310 yard par four. The eleventh tee had also been moved to the bottom of the hill, making it a 30-50 yard par three. So, on this day, the course became a par 69. The fairways were mostly hard with lots of thin and bare spots. I think the mens club is playing winter rules. They also were putting a thin layer of sand on the greens, but the greens still putted well and were the best part of the course. I guess they are upgrading the irrigation system, so the course should be fantastic down the road. For the near future, though, there will be a few headaches so give them a call and find out what you're in for before you drive up there.

Played Los Verdes this morning in a public shotgun for $40 which included a $5 voucher for the snack bar. Great time but the fairways were awful. There was hardly any decent grass...mostly bare. Balls took a lot of bad bounces. Greens were fine, but tricky. The weather and the views..awesome. One tee box was under construction.

Teed off at 2:04PM on 9/7 and finished 17 holes before dark. Cost $54 for our twosome with cart(got twilight rates). Since the only other visit here was over 20 years ago, I was very hesitant after ... Continue »

Teed off at 2:04PM on 9/7 and finished 17 holes before dark. Cost $54 for our twosome with cart(got twilight rates). Since the only other visit here was over 20 years ago, I was very hesitant after reading other reviews here but decided to give it a try.
Overall, It's the most scenic public golf course in So. Cal. Even with slow play and rather poor condition of the fairways, I would strongly recommend golfers play here at least once. My wife was so taken with the view that she wants to go again next week. If you can tolerate 5 1/2 to 6 hr. round, and poor condition of the fairways, you'll be rewarded with a nice scenic golfing outing.

As the previous post says, pretty sad. Played our Club's monthly tournament here Sat 1st tee time was scheduled for 10 am , went off at 10:20. They put in two groups ahead of us, a female 4 some that was slow, then an all male 5 some that was really slow they were at least a hole behind the girls. Tourney is usually 4.5 to 5 hrs, today it was 5.5 hrs.

The course was OK, give it a 5. Tee boxes were OK, some had divotsl The fairways were decent, although many had dry areas and muddy areas. The greens were kind of fast, not too many ball marks (have seen worse). Everything breaks to the ocean, your mind tells you otherwise, but heed my words.

Beverage cart came by to the group ahead of us, we were within a chip shot away then she took off. Came back around when we were on the 16th fairway and passed us up. No water on the course except at the restrooms, holes 4 and 12.

Highlight was the scenery, great vistas and the weather was a balmy 78 or so. Would not go out of my way to play here on my own.

Gad, I hate to say it but these guys are right. I've played here regularly for 10 years and never, ever seen it this bad. Other than the greens which are just fine, well, I think you know what's happening by reading the previous posts. It might not be until 2008 when things can begin to return to normal. Sorry to have spread the bad news but it is what it is. If anything changes, I'll be the first to let everyone know.
