Unplayable

Course was punched, sanded, and soaking wet. Nobody mentioned any of it. Did not know conditions until the starter told us as we teed off. We were told to take automatic two-putts as greens were unplayable. No discount, no option, no notice. GOLF COURSE AGOYLD HAVE BEEN CLOSED.

You owe me a refund.

Slow but Plush

The rains made the course look better than I've seen it but the pace of play took the gloss off of it in a hurry. 3 groups on one T-box should never happen.

Pace of play slow when cart path only

Played on Friday 2/23/24 tee time at 3:00pm and only finished front 9 at 5:50pm. (2 hours 50 minutes for 9 holes) had a couple groups in front of us that could not hit the ball off the tee, but just looked like a slow day overall. This is a very nice and fun course, just didn’t like the slow pace of play. Think the cart path only had something to do with it.

First time

First time and am super impressed. Great value and even greater value for Long Beach residents. Have played Little Rec, Eldorado, and Heartwell. Long Beach has great facilities. Skylinks is a little outside our budget but sure it’s great as well

Well done Long Beach should be proud of your facilities!

Overall Impression - good value

Course was in good shape. Very fair set ups. Played a little on the slow side but a good value for a weekday afternoon round.

Pace of play sub 4 hours 🙌🙌🙌

Started the round at 12:50pm and ended at 3:40pm (3 hours 50 minutes) thought pace of play was slow at first during the first three holes but picked up after that. Also helped that the group in front of us left at hole 16. Conditions were good! Some greens were rolling fast and some were slow, but not too bad. Fairways aren’t as smooth as skylinks in Long Beach so when I hit a low shot it doesn’t roll as far 😅

Fun Track!

Always a good round here. Friendly layout but also challenging on some holes. Conditions are really good right now and greens roll very true. All in all a good, fun, long track where it’s always a good time!
