El Cariso Golf Course

I love the new golf carts. Staff was very friendly. Kinda hectic at first as it seems like there was a bunch of confusion. Which caused some delays. Pace of play was terrible. However being the holiday it’s understandable. The change of management really helped.

Great course and hole layout. Some greens need some work done, lots of ball marks. Went during The Weeknd, so would expect slow play, but course ambassador should have pushed people to keep up the pace, we couldn’t finish all 18

Fun coarse, some unique and challenging holes to deal with, did 18 holes in 3 hours

Course improvements are going in the right direction. Since replacing course management in March the course is looking so much better. Greens and fairways are much improved. The rough around the greens is also maintained. Still need to improve tree line and boundaries with weeding and removing fallen or hanging branches as this would make the course look worthy of the cost for an executive course.

This was my second time playing El Cariso. The course conditions are nearly perfect. From my understanding, they hired a new Landcape Manager, who has turned this course into one of LA’s best Municipal courses.
The staff are very welcoming. Sometimes those golf pro’s will stare at you and judge when you’re in the pro shop. Not the case here. Everyone was so friendly that I just wanted to hangout.
It was a 99° Tuesday afternoon, but there were probably 5 other groups out there. My buddy and I played 36 holes in 4.5 hours.

I like everything at this course. Small adjustment could be to have ice boxes to keep drinks cool

Too many players piled up.
Nice new golf carts but there seem to be a shortage.
Too much grace time given to incomplete foursomes caused us to tee off one hour late.
There were no food and beverage options because they decided to not open that day.

Yikes, I had high expectations for this course based on other reviews but was extremely disappointed. Tee time was 10:30am, and we immediately experienced delays on each hole. The groups here are all over the place, mostly sub par players that haven't played in a while. Despite many groups being backed up, there was no marshall making sure groups were keeping a proper pace of play. It took 4 hours to play 12 holes..on a par 3 course. we were waiting 10-15 minutes on each hole before we could tee off. The amateur groups were playing 2-3 balls and did not have good etiquette for groups waiting behind them. We ended up leaving after the 12th hole once we realized it would take another 2 hours to finish the last 6 holes..

Great holes even a challenging hole with a great twist. it was Awesome..

Recently the course has reverted back to tee times every 7-8 minutes. It’s great for availability but expect waiting for a cart and slow pace of play. Tee times in the afternoon tee off late due to the back up. The course is looking beautiful since new management took over. Took 4 hrs 40 minutes on a Monday. The holiday probably factored in a little bit I’d expect a shorter course like this to play in under 4 hrs.
