played on friday afternoon 12-2. Once again the round took forever. 2-3 groups on each hole. Fivesomes everywhere. Front nine took 3 hours plus. I always find a cheap tee time for this place, but its not worth it anymore. Conditions is okay for a muni, but players here don't rake the bunkers, fix the divots, or play ready golf. Most players don't play from the right tee boxes also. If your hitting a driver on a par 3 150 yards hole, you shouldn't be playing from the blue markers. Didn't see any marshalls or cart girl around.

Played on 11/19. Had a 6:37 tee time but finally got out after 7am, so that was bad. Was stuck behind a 5some which was bad, but they were moving pretty good after the first nine, which was good. There was a lot of bald spots on the tee box which was bad, but the sand traps were really nice and fluffy which was good. I wasn't on the fairway much which was bad for my score, but the greens were in pretty good condition, which was good.

A break in the rain led to a bro of mine to check online and swoop up on a 12:20 for $26 river/pine track today(Sat). Let me say, I love this course. Wide open and long. What slice, it's still in the fairway. Ha. Little hooked, there it is, in the fairway. Ha. It's a muni with all the typical chunky stuff but i still love it. Not to many people out on it and finished in about 4hrs 15m.(With 3 turn back around bonus holes) Tee boxes fair, fairways ok shape. a little wet and WIDE, rough..gangster, sand was wet and thick, greens were pretty good and a little faster than my home g.c. even with the morning rain. I know high dollar haters may not dig this place but it's the way a g.c. should be IMO.

played on friday afternoon 11-4. Greens are inconsistent. Some show no signs of aeration, some have aeration. Played the front nine in the rain, so not many people on the course.Went to the next nine and saw 4-5 groups at the turn(rain stopped). Some groups were teeing off the back nine before the front nine. Got to the 11th hole, and another group skipped a hole and played in front of us. End up going to the mountain 9 and finishing the round.

1st time on the course. played a practice round today at super twilight. the fairways were decent, flat and wide open, the rough was long in some spots, tee boxes were decent, the bunkers were nice and full of sand, but the greens were horrid. they recently punched them, but that was no excuse for them to not at least roll them. I wish people would fix their ball marks on the greens. pace of play was very fast, as there were only 3-4 other players on the course. The pro shop was very polite, but the starter was trying to force me to play the Mountain course, even though I told him I paid to play the River-Pine course(which is what I wound up playing anyway).

I played the river\pine on 6-23-11 (at) 8:20. I was greeted by a friendly staff member,and in no time 3 friends and myself were off to a great start.The course is tree lined but is very wide in the fairway, the rough was simi-deep.as for the greens they were in good shape and rolling about an 8-9.We played with no waiting & nobody pushing us ( 4:20 ).I've played here before and the greens were notoriously slow & in bad shape ( lots of diviot marks & brown patches ). Not the case this time.I played for free ( $13 for the cart ) & my friend payed $25 \ with cart , this was an online birthday special. This course is tough to beat for that price ( as above ). If they would have cut the greens ,this place would rank right there with most $40.00 courses. The food was great inside of the bar area & they have a real BBQ outside on the turn ( nice girl ).If the price is right I'll play here anytime.

Have you ever visited a prison and met an inmate named Tiny but he's actually 400lb gorilla that makes you hang on to the soap for dear life?

I don't know where I'm going with this analogy other than bringing fear and making you into a moral law-abiding citizen.. BUT! Yea dudes named Tiny are never tiny and Whittier Narrow is anything BUT narrow.

Anyway, another nice and easy course.. not the best pace of play, but it's kind to beginners, flat and extremely wide... wow sounds like this one girl I hated in High School... Oh and I forgot to mention cheap! Gets super crowded on the weekends so I suggest walking the course with an 18 pack.

Played on Sunday, 3/6 (at) Twilight. Man this course gets crowded after 12 pm on a Sunday. Was attempting to do 18 holes (River & Pine). Took us 3 hours to finish just River. This is a hacker's paradise course, however the rough was spotty today...and the fairways were in fair shape and provided quite a bit of roll. The greens were surprising firm and fast! The cold and windy conditions and the length of this course makes things difficult to score, especially for idiots that play from the wrong tee box. If you cannot hit a drive...past my lob wedge...(60 yards)...suck up your pride and play from the Whites! We never made it to Pine (back 9) and decided to play Mountain (other 9 holes)...we barely finish before it was completely dark. One thing I nevered mentioned before is that if you like to practice putting, this course has 3 separate putting greens. Also, this is truly a melting pot of a course...you get blue collar Joe's playing this course with jeans and beat up tee shirt and then you have Asians..dressed up like they won the Honda Classic. This course is close and cheap, you get what you pay for..which is fine. Nonetheless, had a good time...

Played on a crystal clear morning and started on-time at 7:00 a.m. The starter was friendly and helped us out by rearranging our courses for us -- starting on the River and finishing on the Pine. We'd never played here before and were pleasantly surprised. The tee boxes were in good shape, the vast majority were level and relatively divot-free. The fairways were in good shape too. I don't remember any bare spots but there were a few muddy areas where drainage looks to be an issue. The rough was just short enough to keep you from losing an errant drive. The greens were firm and pretty fast. Approaches and chips had a tendency to run more often than check, which can create challenges because some of the greens are small. We were a walking foursome and finished the front in about 2 hours, with virtually no waiting. But on the back, we caught up with the groups ahead of us -- a walking twosome immediately ahead and two fivesomes in carts ahead of them. We waited on each of the final 4 holes due to very slow play by the 2 riding fives, even though a Marshal was alongside them. It took 3 hours to finish the back (and we didn't take a break at the turn). Despite the slow play on the back, we enjoyed the round, and with weekend rate of only $33 fee to walk...I know we'll be back again.
