played at 7 am on a saturday 4 days after aeration. The course overall is very nice. it is not long, but, it moves around nicely.lots of elevation changes and doglegs in both directions. With the greens just punched, but smooth, the pace of play was unbeleivable. On a 5somes course we finished in 3 hours 55 minutes!!! While i know the pace of play was due to a number of circumstances, it was so good I will go back just to prove to myself it was a fluke. (and I don't mean a tester)

This course is fun...super fast greens. However, fairways + tee boxes + sand were not so great. We played on a special that included lunch and a cart for $35. This made it worthy, but it is not a 7.0 ... Continue »

This course is fun...super fast greens. However, fairways + tee boxes + sand were not so great. We played on a special that included lunch and a cart for $35. This made it worthy, but it is not a 7.0 plus, more like a 5.0 plus. This is an "American Golf" course, but the fairways are not...I REPEAT very fast greens, spend at least a half hour on the putting green, or you will be putting thru the break.

Course was in very nice shape! Greens were smooth and fairly quick. Fairways also in above average condition. Incredibly able to tee off a few minutes BEFORE our tee time and played in just over four... Continue »

Course was in very nice shape! Greens were smooth and fairly quick. Fairways also in above average condition. Incredibly able to tee off a few minutes BEFORE our tee time and played in just over four hours, which for Rec Park is fabulous! Playing Rec is like a "walk in the park" - not too tough but enough of a test to make it enjoyable.

Some of the par 4's are too short for long hitters (300 yards). The rough was inconsistent, from thin to at times 6 inches. The sand traps are very good but with the recent heat everything is gettin... Continue »

Some of the par 4's are too short for long hitters (300 yards). The rough was inconsistent, from thin to at times 6 inches. The sand traps are very good but with the recent heat everything is getting watered, even the traps and some are wet just under the surface and inconsistent. The greens are in great shape, very smooth and very consistent which is always a tough thing for public courses.

good value, great condition for as much play as the course gets....

Every round at Rec is an absolute treat. The course has so much character, and it is always in excellent shape. There is no other course at these prices in Southern California that is better. By far the top course in Long Beach, especially given the fact that the new Skylinks seems to be having so much trouble with the sprinkler system and the greens.

We played twice in the past 2 weeks, and each round was less than 4 1/2 hours (isn't it sad that this has become a "good" time...what is wrong with golfers recently... hit the d%mn ed ball when it's your turn to play, and stop plumb-bobbing in 4 directions).

Also, the food at Rec is excellent, and the prices are extremely reasonable. Usually the restaurnant has far more non-players eating than players.

Fairway condition was great, first time I've seen this nice since I started playing here years ago. Even the greens have very few ball marks & the rough was fair. The pace was very decent, relative to my past experience in this course.
