Rancho Park Par - 3 Golf Course

Full course is in better condition. This 9 hole is fine, but not great

Booked a t time and confirmed in the morning. Drove 30 minutes to see that the front gate was locked. Called pro shop and they told me they shut the course down an hour before my t time. Would have loved to be notified next time that my t time would be canceled so I didn’t waste my time driving over.

I played the 9 hole par 3 course here which is adjacent to their "larger" course which offers par 4 and 5 play. It's a fun little "lunch break" course which offers 9 quick par 3 holes, most of which are in the 70 - 90 yard range. I played all 9 in less than 30 minutes, which is why I think many of the Fox Studios crew probably pops over for quick rounds during production.
The course itself is decently maintained with smooth greens and well cut fairways for a par 3 course. The tee boxes are mostly turf squares but there are patches of grass to swing from as well, which I prefer. The course is right beside a busy thoroughfare, I think Pico Blvd, so it does get pretty loud at times but serves as a decent little golf oasis in the middle of Los Angeles. I'd come play here again if I was short on time and wanted a quick and easy practice round.

The coarse was way over booked on the 3rd hole 5 groups were sitting down on grass waiting not including my group. I walked back to get a refund or rain check but guy told me no without even hearing my request. He said waiting is normal I said never in my life have I seen 5 groups sitting down waiting to play especially a small coarse like this. This should never happen at any golf coarse. Dont waste your time here

Amazing 9 hole to bring a beginner on a learning course or to practice solo

Nice course, friendly staff and a nice place to take a beginner.
