Played all 27 holes on 4/18/13. Have to say, the the 9 hole Mountain course was in the best shape. The tee boxes were severely uneven, the fairways were in pretty good shape and the bunkers were average. The greens were in really bad shape, even though they were just aerated, the greens were severely diseased and slow. Customer service was a lot better than the last time I played there. The starter was very helpful and got us out on the course as soon as we were ready. The course ambassador/marshal needs to do a better job of watching the course, as a rather obesely overweight guy kept driving his cart RIGHT UP TO THE EDGE of the greens.

Played early Saturday morning as a foursome. Played behind a fivesome but they moved fast and we finished in about 4.5 hours which is very good for this course on a weekend.

Played early Saturday morning as a foursome. Played behind a fivesome but they moved fast and we finished in about 4.5 hours which is very good for this course on a weekend.

The greens were punched recently and still sandy and very slow, but in my unprofessional opinion, seemed to be recovering well. The fairways and rough were lush and tee boxes were fairly level with plenty of grass. The bunkers which are usually nice and fluffy here, were inconsistent, wet (not sure why), and just not enough sand.

Teed off at 11AM on a Thursday. The course wasn't too busy with scattered 3/4somes. My friend and I were able to finish in slightly over 3 hours with 2 groups nice enough to let us play through. Th... Continue »

Teed off at 11AM on a Thursday. The course wasn't too busy with scattered 3/4somes. My friend and I were able to finish in slightly over 3 hours with 2 groups nice enough to let us play through. The bunkers were the nicest I've seen on this course as they must have gotten new sand for the new year. Greens were slow with some unfixed divots but overall acceptable and expected. Some of the tee boxes were slightly uneven and bare - definitely has seen better tee box conditions at Whittier.

12/22/2012 dropped wife off in Montebello for tamale making. On tee box at 11:30a with a 2 some. Had to wait for 2 groups in front of us at tee. 2-3 groups on every hole but didn't mind as I expecte... Continue »

12/22/2012 dropped wife off in Montebello for tamale making. On tee box at 11:30a with a 2 some. Had to wait for 2 groups in front of us at tee. 2-3 groups on every hole but didn't mind as I expected a busy course. Not used to the bumpy cart ride on the fairways...my back. Enjoyed the wide open fairways, hit driver every par 4 and 5. Small greens a little bumpy. Even though I quit after 15 holes, I would do it again. Paid $48 for green/cart. I was a minority amongst the golf loving Asians. As expected a typical busy weekend afternoon on a muni course.

Played yesterday. Teed off a little before 11:30, had to run the last two holes to finish before it was pitch black. 6 hour round. Myself and my playing partner were the only non-Koreans there. Every ... Continue »

Played yesterday. Teed off a little before 11:30, had to run the last two holes to finish before it was pitch black. 6 hour round. Myself and my playing partner were the only non-Koreans there. Every group was a 5-some, nobody fixed ball marks or raked bunkers, divots were not sanded...in short, this wasn't a good experience. The twosome we got paired with was Korean as well, and they were very nice and had wonderful golf etiquette, so that helped the day move along. The course conditions were good, save the lack of care from the players. Tee boxes were level, fairways were a bit long so no roll, rough was brutal, greens got really bumpy as the day progressed, bunkers had adequate sand. No water hazards on the course, and no holes with any character to speak of, just straightforward golf. I would like this course as a confidence builder, but I can't recommend weekend play after what I experienced. Maybe weekdays are better.

Went out as a foursome last thursday morning. Was bloody hot out so course was pretty quiet. We finished in about 4 hours which is unheard of at this place even during weekdays. For the price, it is decent and I always enjoy this place because its so wide and open. But they have tiny greens so good score isn't necessarily easy.

One complaint I have though is that they cut the grass way too long. Its hard to find balls in the rough sometimes. Anyhow, the course was in decent shape. One sand I was in was nice and fluffy (perhaps too fluffy since it was buried). 10th hole had the wrong flag so that was kinda frustrating. Fairways were lush and didn't see any bare spots. Tee boxes didn't have too many divots and were nice and level.

But anytime I can play with buddies on a weekday is a big thumb up.

Golfed here June 7th. For the price a good deal. Fairways not dried out yet good roll. Greens were good. Not too bad of a track for the money. played as a twosome of 2 golfers and was not crowded. played the first nine in an hour and a half. However we caught the groups in front of us by the 8th hole. The back 9 took us over 2 1/2 hrs. 5-somes are allowed and we had to wait 5-10 min on every shot. The foursome in front of us had to wait on the fivesome ahead of them every shot. The foursome offered to let us pass them on #10 but we declined because if the 5 some would not allow the foursome to pass, then they were probably not going to let us through either. Marshall could have picked up the pace but did not. Overall not bad for 4 hrs though. Started at 815 and finished by 1240. Not bad. Wished we could have finished in 3 1/2 though.

Pine/River was overall, in decent condition. The majority of the greens had good roll even though they were a little damp due to the light rain. Look out for the numerous unrepaired ball marks. The fairways and rough were 5/10 at best. The customer service is good as always. Not worth the full rate green fee however due to the quality of the course right now and expect 5 1/2 rounds on the weekends.

My first time playing at Whittier Wide-Flat golf course. Played 2/4 Saturday morning 7:22am tee time for around $40, which is really good for saturday morning tee time. I live in the inland empire and had to play with 3 dudes from the LA area so this was a perfect location. Started the morning with some awesome tasty huge breakfast burrito with everything on it (ham, sausage, bacon). Noticed there was a korean food menu (like!)... i guess lots of koreans play there?!?! I'm usually not too picky about the condition of the course unless i constantly have to hit off the dirt. so the condition of this course was neither really bad nor really good. i realized how well i can drive the ball when there's no pressure of hitting hazards or OBs. I also confirmed once again that iron shots especially chipping and pitching is more challenging for me at these LA-muni-style-whatever-you-call-strong-weedy-grass (kikuya?) when you're used to playing courses out in the IE. i was also little concerned about the pace but, it wasn't too bad. 4-1/2 to 5 i think... i'm good as long as i don't get stuck out at the course for over 5 hours.
overall, i really enjoyed the round.
i'll play here again if i have to play with buddies from LA on saturday morning without spending too much money.
