los verdes golf course

Los Verdes is as beautiful a public course as you will ever find. There are mature trees, interesting layout and ocean views... All said, 4 stars only because it is hard to get a tee time (I play it in local charity tournaments) and it usually takes 5+ hours to play! That is common in public golf in Los Angeles, but this is definitely an uncommon public course!

Best public course in LA. Challenging with unbeatable ocean and Catalina views. Nice diner for food or drinks, full bar.

You won't find a more beautiful public course anywhere. The links roll in and out of the local hills along the ocean. Spectacular views!

This is a fantastic county course that's only $33 a round (on weekends), which means that tee times are very difficult to come by. You'll need to arrive Friday night, sign in, sleep in your car, and wake up when they open Saturday morning in order to make a tee time for the following Saturday. They also take phone in tee times, but the line is always jammed.The course is somewhat challenging, and it's a muni, so don't expect perfectly manicured conditions. The layout is great, and there are views of the ocean from most holes. If you can get a tee time, don't miss the chance to play it.

I golf at least weekly at Los Verdes and am always cheered by the view of Catalina Island and the Channel (when it's not fogged in). LV has completed a million dollar workover over the course in which they have modified, moved and installed new bunkers. And they have replaced the old, brown sand with the white softer stuff. Also the cart path has been repaired and bare spots reseeded. Currently LV is under a water restriction by which they have reduced water for the rough by 15%. Unfortunately that has resulted in a rather sparse and hard rough. But it's well maintained and, for the most part, players are considerate enough to rake the bunkers. My main complaint is, and has been for years, that they have interminable tournaments; at least one almost every day. That makes tee times a bit hard to come by at times. But, considering the value and quality I will continue to deal with that. Their pro staff is always friendly and considerate. Sometimes I wonder how they manage the smile with the business they're faced with.

Coming from the Midwest we don't get the chance to play on a course where almost every hole gives you a breath-taking view of the ocean. The course was extremely busy and we HAD to play with three other people. Fortunately, we had a great group of guys to play with. The play was so slow it took us about 3 hours to play 9 holes. The course is in pretty good condition. There are a few holes with construction but overall I would recommend playing here. Just make sure to make a reservation and still be prepared to wait. You might get a cheaper rate using golfzing.com but I couldn't get it to work.

Nice course. Green are great. Very enjoyable outing if you are into golf. My husband and friends always have a great day.

Very busy course and difficult to get tee times. Not sure why ....nice course and always in good conditions. A few holes with beautiful views with the ocean as a backdrop, but the slow pace of play kills any positives...especially on the front 9. Avoid playing here on the weekends! Slow slow slow...

One of the best county courses, nicely laid out and in decent shape for a public course. The pace is very slow and plan on a 5 1/2 hour round. Driving range is not great but you can at least warm up. Driving range balls are a mixed bag, mostly bad.

Playing golf at Los Verdes is painfully slow. The greens are is poor condition and it seems they never roll them.

This is our favorite place to play. I always hear complaints about how its always backed up, but we have never experienced that problem. Greens are well maintained. Beautiful ocean views. What more could you ask for?

The 9 hole, par 3 course allows for golfers of various levels to enjoy the course. If you play two rounds, you'll get in your regular 18 holes. It's so beautiful you won't mind.

This tour is the best PV has to offer. Today was my 6th visit in 8 years! The crew always goes out of their way to make sure everyone has a good time! Davecho, Pablo, Jorge, Alexa and all the rest are the best!! From the onset this trip is fun. The bus ride up offers beautiful views of the city and ocean. Once you arrive the guides always put on an entertaining show while giving you the rules. The tour takes you soaring through the jungle with gorgeous views of the river. Once the zip lining is done you arrive back to the restaurant. Yummy food and drinks are available. My kids always enjoy swimming in the crystal clear river. The rock slides are always a good time. You can feed the monkeys, have an iguana sit on your head or hold a snake. This tour is a MUST when in PV. Thanks for another great trip again today! See you in a year or two!!!!

The setting is SPECTACULAR … many holes hugging the Pacific with views from many holes including the 15th Hole. But you won't get to finish your round of golf in 4 1/2 HOURS rather you'll need 6 HOURS!NOT WORTH THE BOTHER. If you must try it once … I'm certain YOU'LL NEVER RETURN. An indifferent pro-shop … who couldn't care less if you're waiting 5 minutes or more on each hole … there's NO ONE around to keep the pace of play to a reasonable time … they even allow 5-somes to play! NOT WORTH THE EFFORT … if you must … just go and look at the views and leave … a total waste of time!
