It was during the hot season and the greens and fairways were overwatered causing mud-packed greens and soggy fairways. Not thier fault but it still cost $72.

Greens and fairways were in good shape. Green fees are higher than other area courses and not worth the xtra $$.

Have played this track 4 times this year. It's a nice layout and it's in great shape. Friendly staff and a decent pace for a muni in Long Beach.

Good course and lay out. Green fee a little high compared to other courses. Sand traps were very good. Would play here again.

In decent shape, but a fairly boring course.

The greens can be devilish if the pins are set up on the mounding of some greens. Fair layout and you can get on it fairly easily. But for the money, it may be better to drive a little further or pay a little more.

Way to many bunkers. Unfair pin placements for amount of bunkers. Bunkers were ALL steep.

Senior rate includes a cart fee of $0.95. GPS on cart makes first time play enjoyable. Large undulating greens challenges putting skill. Wide fairways let long hitters swing away.
