I played this course last weekend and the conditions were AWFUL! Tee boxes need to be cleaned up, greens were slow and bumpy with divot damage, and the fairways didn't look like fairways at all.

There were a few times I was hitting off of mud or dirt in the middle of the fairways! It was ridiculous.

The pace of play was horrible as well. The group in front of us couldn't keep up with the one in front of them and it took nearly 6 hours to get through 18 holes. The marshal was no where to be found and even when we got to the back 9 and the starter was sitting right there with a 3 group backup of players, he said nothing.

I will NEVER go back to this course again even if they paid me to go.

I play here all the time and for $23 buck during the week, you can't beat it. Course is windy in the afternoon so I am able to work on my knockdown shots. Greens are slow but they roll nicely. Tee boxes are very nice and level. Course is wide open so it's a bombers paradise. Pace of play is slow but beats alondra, chester washington any day.

Been getting a lot of golf in lately. Played today with Swing18. Course is GREEN. Not the burned out look it normally has. Looks like staff and new management is really taking care of the place. New practice green out front looks good. Range balls are still $8 for a large bucket compared to $9 everywhere else, but balls look tired. Greens are slow but in good shape. They roll true, even the practice green and it wasn't cut yet. Not a lot of break on greens. They tend to break 1-2 feet from the hole. A good firm put seemed to work best. Fairways are GREEN as indicated earlier and they seem to be overwatering. Some mushy parts so be carefull where you tread, you may just loose a shoe. ESA... is brown but typical for this time of the year and it looks as if they are even taking care of the ESA. They have a Gopher problem as it seems they have come back in droves. Hole 13 is rife with them little doggies. Sand is OK.. its hard packed but once i figured that out .. it was dealable. Was having some back pain towards end of 7 holes and got myself a cart after 9. They were helpful. Saw marshall once in outing on back 9. Play was fast on front but got slow suddenly on back.....Still 4 1/2 hours is not bad for this course considering it was the weekend and for some strange reason the course of relatively empty. Great deal at $30 walking.

Victoria is a good value muni. Since it's close to my office, it's a good place to get on after work and play nine with co-workers. Generally not too difficult (no water, limited sand), especially if you keep it out of the wood chips. All in all, good for a pretty fun round of golf.

This golf course is one of the most horrible golf courses in LA County. The customer service is very nice but the overall golf experience was horrible. Fairways were horrible because there were layers of fairway and the greens were slow as heck. Its like a wasteland with a flagstick and a hole. Do not play here.

Average course.....however greens in great shape and overall the course is pretty wide open and you will not get in trouble until the afternoon breezes kick up. This time our round was pretty fast, but sometimes some of the hackers can really slow you down. Wish the Marshalls would push the slower groups along. Very forgiving course

I played here today and found things haven't changed all that much. I used to play here quite a bit until it started to revert back to it's goattrack condition. Things are starting to turn back around albeit slowly. The tee boxes have been re-worked and there is plenty of level grass to tee your ball and take a stance. The greens are in good shape (a couple were bumpy) but the people who play here still don't know how to repair their ball marks. The fairways are a different story...lots of bare spots, lots of spots re-sodded with 7 or 9 different types of grass, lots of marked ground under repair. The bunkers had halfway decent dirtsand/rocks...all were wet but raked. There are numerous environmental areas some of which are irrigated? and chopped?...what's the point of that??? Victoria will never be a great muni but for $23 to walk you can have a decent day of golf.

Played Sunday 6/1... honestly, from the satellite picture I saw on Greenskeeper.org , I hadn't expected much, because from that image, it looked like the course hadn't been very well maintained, with a lot more brown than green on the fairways. Playing the course, though, I was pleasantly surprised to find the course was in decent shape (though not great) and more challenging than expected, especially since so many holes played into brisk crosswinds. The greens were the highlight of the course, as many of them were difficult to read, many because of their actual breaks and a few because of their "optical illusion" non-breaks. Well-struck tee shots got a lot of roll on the fairways, but there were some patches that were too hard and caused some club bounce. Club selection was definitely influenced by the winds, since the crosswinds tended to really knock balls down. (I was tempted to play a pitching wedge from 90 yards out on one early hole, then switched it out at the last moment for a 9-iron and just made the front of the green with a well-struck ball.) Pace of play was OK (a little over 5 hours), spurred on by a marshal on the back 9 who seemed to be telling everyone to speed things up... hole 14 seemed to be a bit of a logjam, because it's a very difficult par 3 playing into the wind across a chasm (sounds better than "drainage ditch," doesn't it?)... so a lot of people seemed to be playing additional shots from the drop area. Noise can also be a problem on the back 9, as you're playing within earshot of the 405 freeway and, when the winds were right, you can sometimes hear the loud drone of the nearby go-cart track. Overall, though, a decent afternoon of golf for the price.
