I’ve had the sprinklers come on during my round while the sun was still out 3 times at this golf course, ending my round an hour earlier than the sun would allow. Additionally, all LA city courses are now allowing groups of 5 to play. Without proper starter management, this leads to fights on the golf course and frustration when the starter has a 2 going out behind a 5. Starters are nice dudes and try their best but the management and American golf are greedy and insincere.
Update: just played a 5.5hr round on a Tuesday here. Stuck behind a party of three with three open holes ahead of them. Pressured by multiple groups behind all day. Not fun.
One plus: order the chicken tenders and fries. It’s the only thing worth buying here.
The Pros:
Course condition is fine and decent. There are patches of dry grass here and there in the summer time, but gets better if it rains. Southern California is expected to be dry. The greens is also decent with good ball motion when putting. Not the best, but far from worst. Fairways are large with good lies and decent grass. There are some tall roughs on the side. Easy to lose balls. This course is perfect for golf improvement. This course has 27 holes. The main 18 holes River and Pine course is almost 7000 yards. The Mountain course is a good size 9 hole for everyone. They have a $50 monthly membership that includes a free bucket of range balls everyday. 1/2 price on cart rental and free at twilight. Awesome deal.
The Cons:
Some areas of the course could use some repairing and cut the grass down a little.
A large bucket here is $18. A bit expensive compared to others.
The range has no shade, extremely hot in summer sun
The range close at 9pm, but if you get there at 7, there's always a line waiting to get balls. They need more range balls. The line is to wait for the staff to go fetch the balls back from the range.
Balls are not washed after pick up from range. Very muddy.
Facility miss management. Cleaness is not there forte. Restroom is always out of toilet papers and seat covers. No one seems to keep the place clean. I believe these are very much a management issues. Alhambra is much much cleaner.
Two stars for the staff and greens. Course is in rough condition and that’s the irony. The fairways played like the rough, as in not mowed in a while. Lots of dirt patches as well. Not sure if we would play here ever again. It would be one star if it wasn’t super twilight and they let us go out 15 mins early because the course was pretty empty. It played slowed because it took a while to find your ball, even when on the fairway or just off. Greens were true though and in decent shape.
And my cart died. Thanks good ness it was at 18!
The golf course is pretty wide opened but quite challenging because of strong wind from time to time. Weekends are pretty slow to finish the game. Otherwise, it's not too bad.
This is one of the public golf course in the 626 area. There are a lot of parking spaces. Staff at the pro shop is friendly. I did not have a chance to try their cafe. This course has a pretty long distance. However, it was not well maintained. The lawn on the fairway was long, and I did not get a lot of roll. There times that you will not be able to fine your golf ball if you hit it to the rough because the rough is long.
I will not likely to come back due to the course condition.
visited there for a driving range, $5 for small bucket and $12 for big one. visited another day for 18 holes (River+Pine) total 6812 yards a bit long, the fairway is a mess, just like hazard, very flat with no up and down; however the green in good condition.
I was in the area for son’s baseball practice. This is a pretty nice course for a muni. The practice area is decent and it even has a chipping area with nice putting surface. I played nine holes (Mountain) walking this morning. The fairways are generally good grass no dirt patches. The greens are tiny but very well maintained and smooth. A very good muni course to hone your skills. Hey $26 walk on is a pretty dang good deal. Angeles National costs me $180 and the greens aren’t even this nice.
Apparently no dogs on course even though they are service dog. Let me go on then came to kick me off the course. They can keep my $18 dollars I'm not hurting to get a refund
