Feel like breakfast for lunch or dinner? This is the spot. Mom n pop joint with plenty of options to make you unbutton your pants. Bacon is thick and perfect. Not burnt crispy, but not soft. Everything was perfect and took 5 minutes to get my fat arse up from the table after we were done. Ugh. Wanna go again.
Not a bad place to play on a weekday after noon. Teed off at 12:30 and finished at 3:45. Fairways and tee boxes can use work, but it is good for the most part. Greens are 1/2 punched and sanded right now, so land on the good half of the green and you will be putting fine. Easy to walk except for the uphill signature hole, a par 3 that you should club up 2 clubs for.

This is a pretty good course, and decently maintained. Prices are typical of an 18 hole course, but play is kinda slow. You can walk it if you want, as you will have ample time since it is usually pretty full. I'd go back for sure if it was closer. Good pro shop and canteen also. I see lots of networking goin on, so if you wanna play golf and maybe find a good job, play a round here and join in a group. Pretty wide fairways for hackers. Freeway noise is involved in most holes.
Yes you hit off mats, but you have 18 chances here for a hole in 1! Fairways are whatever, but you should be getting on the green each time. Grass near the green is good for chips and lobs. Greens are good, you will have some small leaves here and there to pick up, and greens are soft, so fix your ball marks. About 2 - 2 1/2 hours for a round. You can find deals for under 10 bucks here. Fun place to play to work on your short irons and wedges
Round started out nice on the front 9, then winds seem to blow hard on the back 9. Conditions are great, just watch the wind, as it will affect your flight and distances. Rough is very fluffy, and both fairway and greens are great. Pace was good, about 3 1/2 hours. Course starts out easy, then gets tougher as you go. Bring a few extra balls.
Not a bad place for a quick round. Course is in good condition, from tee to green, but can be a bit damp in places. No significant trouble except a few areas where OB is a lost ball. Pretty much a straight forward course with a couple of doglegs. Early bird special is 8 bucks on a weekend, can't beat that.
Played on Labor Day at 10 am, and took about 5 hours or so. Very nice condition for a muni and plays like a higher end course. Fairways are very green, but a bit hard. Bunkers have sand, not dirt. Greens are nice, but many ball marks. Fun layout and good mix of all types of holes. Easy to walk as it is all flat. Had a good time here, you will too.

It's a LA muni, so can't have too high expectations. Pretty flat course, easy to walk if the temperature is ok, golf carts are very old with bald tires. Layout is pretty uninteresting. Not a difficult course and you can score a bit easier here. Fairways/greens/rough/tee boxes were very average muni style. Not horrible, but not great, just kinda there and not memorable. Bunkers range from sand to hard dirt. Over 5 hours on a weekend, and for the price you can play much better courses if you drive a bit more.

Peaceful course and quiet, except the random loud trucks that pass by. Course is in good condition, great fairways except a few damp areas. Lots of tree trouble for errant shots. Bunkers aren't great, but some sand in them, not hard packed like typical muni's. Pace here is great. Started at 8:30 and finished before noon. Course itself is pretty unimaginative. A few doglegs, but typically straight with trees on both sides.

Decent par 62 course. Easy to walk although one long uphill walk. All par 3's n 4's. Most holes are straight forward and a couple slight dog legs. Can be wet in some areas but overall fairways and greens are decent muni style. Bunkers aren't good, but can chip out of them. One great down hill par 3. Pretty fast, as I finished in 2 hours on a sunday afternoon. A bit overpriced for what you get though.

Fun course. Walking is ok, except 1 long uphill on hole 9. Course is in decent condition. Some yellow grass on the fairways, but mostly good. Greens are a little challenging on some holes. Most fairways are bowled style and errant shots can funnel down to where you want them. Pace is pretty slow. Was in the 6th group out and finished in 5 hours.
