HORRIBLE TERRIBLE HORRIBLE TERRIBLE

Reserved tee time for 12:48. Started playing at 1:40pm because it was extremely delayed and there were not any carts available. Staff just indicated that there are aware of the situation but that's it. Nothing done about it. We just had to wait and wait and wait. During the play, pace was extremely slow and our cart stopped, probably because it wasn't charged fully. We ended at 6:30pm. HORRIBLE TERRIBLE just UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

Waiting 45 mins for a cart!!!

Had a 216p tee time and we didnt get a cart until 300p. To make matters worse the cart died in the middle of the fairway on 15 and had to push it to the side. Had to walk the remaining holes. Didn't finish the round until about 800p just as light was gone. Holes 9 and 18 had 3-4 groups backed up. Chester needs to have more carts available and better spacing because this was ridiculous. I know from now on if I play here it has to be an early morning round.

Delay

We had to wait for at least 2 groups to tee off at every hole. We were group of only 2 and when we asked if we could completely skip a hole, the group told us no. Do we need up playing 12 holes in 4 hours! No Marshall’s checking the course. Also grass was long in the fairways. We lost 4 balls even though we hit in play!

Greed

Tee times 8 minutes apart equals a recipe for disaster.

We teed off 15 minutes after our scheduled tee time (7:20am tee time). 5 1/2 hour round. No surprise hear. Pace of play on the weekends has been horrendous at this course for the past 2 years.

If they spaced out the tee times, say 15 minutes apart, that would be amazing. Probably will never happen because they just want to get as many people on the course as possible because… money.

Greens were bumpy. Rough grass was longer than most local public courses.

Fun and local

Greatest local course in west LA. While the grounds aren’t country club level, the greens are well maintained and everything’s clean. As a bonus, a pack of coyotes live just off the 10th hole and will watch you as you play. Really like this course. Not too hard yet challenging enough.
