Too much of waiting… can’t finish and took almost 5 hours to 15th hole on weekday.
Good pace & decent greens
Played here before when the pace was slower but not this day. My husband & I finished in 4 hours 20 minutes on Tuesday with two other singles who were good golfers and regulars. Proshop staff was professional & friendly.
SLOW Pace
Tricky, challenging and rewarding course, that is in great shape, and the greens are super fair and in great shape, too. The bunkers have real sand not hard packed dirt.
Five hours and 11 minutes to play 18 holes Friday with a noon tee time , teeing off at 12:25
Great course to play if you happen to get lucky on a day that it is not slow.
Course good, pace slow
The course is nice right now. There’re water features on a few holes. The tee boxes are torn up, but it didn’t really bother me. The longer holes are a little narrow but I stayed mostly in the fairway. The par 3s are long feom the blue tees. One was like 235.
Pace was super slow. Group ahead and the one ahead of that were foursomes that took forever to take their shots. About 5 and half hrs to finish on a Saturday. But I think that’s about the pace for the LA area so *shrug*
Long course challenging greens
Best course in East LA county in my opinion. Really well maintained and solid overall experience. Will be back soon.
Playing with the turttles
This is a nice course but for 236 to 510 we got to hole 8 after waiting over 10 min We got to tee off. Sadly couldn't play any more due to I had to be at work in 30 min. I've never played a course so slow. No marshals once twilight hits and ya charge the price I paid for strawberry farm, black gold and oak query. Not the same caliber
Slow pace of play
Not worth the price they charge considering you won’t finish a full 18. Second time playing here and both times, we were delayed by 20-30 min. We waited for every shot, I mean every shot, both times I’ve played here. They stack the tee times too close to one another, which is what I think causes the constant delays. Both times we only finished 13 holes, with the front 9 taking about 2 and a 1/2 hours to finish. Then the next 3-4 holes taking another 1 and a 1/2 half hours. Really really really slow pace here.
Go elsewhere
Good Fun Course, A Bit Slow
I come back to this course periodically. Great course layout, course conditions are good. Expect to complete a round in 4.5 - 5 hours unless you start early mornings; not completely horrible but could be improved. We’ll be back.
Pleasantly surprised
Rio Hondo is a nice track. Very subtle elevation changes and enough water to get your attention. The bermunda grass fairways in the winter are less forgiving, but are very playable. Overall it nice to see a public course offer something different than the run of the mill setup.
The staff in the pro shop are friendly and helpful. I'm already looking forward to playing my next round at at Rio Honda.
My nephew literally lives one block south of the course. Which I didn't realize until today. No more excuses for not playing Rio Hondo more often.
RIo Hondo is senior friendly. Even though I still can play from the blues, you can play from the tees that suit your game. Next time I'm going to may my own combo tees.
Fun course but slow because the group ahead of us
All in all, it was a fun first time playing. The course was in good condition. Tighter fairways and a decent amount of water holes. The greens were tough because of placement being on some steep slopes but next in good condition.
The round was moving slow because of the 4 some ahead of us. We were 4, myself and paired with 3 older ladies that were walking and we still waited on every hole. The group ahead of us were at least 2-3 holes behind so a Marshall would have helped. Just over 5 hours.
