Positive: Probably one of the funnest courses I’ve done that wasn’t an 18-hole. Feels like an arcade, with top 10 music in the background. The course has a great flow, not too challenging and not too easy, it’s just right, and a perfect transition to the range side. There’s an option for push carts and there’s a nice bar/restaurant too. Great part is a free putting and chipping practice area. Lots of spots for photos/selfies. It was three of us and it was great times, hit par a couple of times and overall excellent experience!

Negative: They tell you they are at capacity when they are clearly not. Waited 9 hrs for a stall on my birthday to tell me they cant accommodate, horrible service.

Positive: Great place. Multi-level hitting bays aim over a parking garage in a really cool setup. Personal mirrors in each bay. More aimed at real golfers vs. A TopGolf experience. A little short in terms of distance but it’s long enough to trace your shots. If you’re serious about working your swing the prices are affordable to hit more balls than your body probably should in one day. All in all a very professional place, with friendly staff and pros to cater to any need. I live 20 minutes away and I’ll say this place is good enough to draw me away from the other ranges on the westside.

Negative: People who come here to practice their shots casually teach one another even though they are not licensed to teach someone. I mean that’s what people do at the golf ranges, right? One of their staff seemed to have a particular disliking for me and my girlfriend. He flat-out yelled at us.

Rancho Park Golf Course and Driving Range

Positive: Grounds are meticulously maintained. Driving range is nice with a lower and upper deck. Large basket of balls is $14 as of June 2022. Parking can be a bit tricky.

Negative: I was surprised that there were many young children in the practice area. The course is also crowded and you should make a reservation. We went without making a reservation, so we waited for cancellation. We used a cart, but there are people walking, so the progress was very slow. It was bad. I think it was because it was quite packed. The green was in good condition, but the others didn’t seem to be well maintained.

Positive: I am pretty new to golf but I thought the Wilson Harding Driving Range was just lovely. I went on new year’s day and it wasn’t that busy at 10 am. I love that they have an upper level. I will visit again.

Negative: Most mats are worn down to the point you’re not standing on level ground. Balls are very old, worn, and beat up, which makes it impossible to dial in your distances because you’re not getting true ball flight. Used to come for the convenience but can’t spend $$ here anymore.

Positive: 94 degrees with a beautiful wind breeze made Sunday a perfect Day for Golf and what better course could we have picked other than Alhambra Golf Course. Nice tight Tee, like hitting in a batter’s cage. Fairways- beautiful, sand traps have sand lol… The greens are right and ready, I had a Pleasant time, hope u do 2.

Negative: When the train passes by its very loud and the greens are not that good to play on as well as the range.

Positive: The course is pretty good for a 9 hole, the grass and green are well kept. They have options for push carts. The course flows well with one hole that gets a little clogged and it’s a 5 person setup for each tee time. Parking was limited but we luckily got one in the golf parking, otherwise, street parking is available. I reserved two spots and got matched with three other random people but they were really cool. Wish there was a drink cart lady, but an overall excellent experience.

Negative: Super slow, at 9:30 AM the tee time was already 15 minutes late. Nearly 3 hours for 9 holes and half of the holes were under significant repair work.

Positive: I have been going to this course for many years. The course is very well kept up. Greens are great. Fairways are well kept. Thank you for many years of great experience. The restaurant has great staff and excellent food and beverages. Thank you as always a great experience.

Negative: This course used to be one of the best in the Valley. It no longer is and has not been for a few years now. The greens are slow and the majority of them are missing grass. I suggest you play somewhere else, the folks that run that place have no clue as to how to maintain it.

Client Reviews

Positive: Pretty much grew up here in the late 90s and hadn’t been back in a decade. The place really holds up though – I’m all about the Par 3 but Executive can be fun as well. Grab a couple of beers, balls, and a few wedges, and you are due for a good time.

Negative: The executive course is in really rough shape and all tee boxes are cement with hitting mats. I booked a 6 AM tee time online expecting to play under the lights until daylight but when I arrived the pro shop wasn’t opened. The employee didn’t show up until 6:37 and we got to the first tee box at 6:45.

Positive: Great place to practice your short game. Heroes Golf Course is operated by US Veterans and proceeds go to help US Veterans in need. Quiet, secluded, elevated, gorgeous skyline and Getty views, PGA pros available for open and closed lessons, free vegetables for veterans at the co-located Heroes Garden, right next to the VA Japanese Garden. Open to the public with green fees, brand new Pro Shop and Clubhouse with food and refreshments, patio deck, and indoor and outdoor restrooms.

Negative: Great little course hidden away, the only issue I have is the people that play here. They pick up your ball, that is just disrespectful. This happened on several occasions, I will just wait until the par 3 course opens back up off of Los Feliz off the 5 Fwy.

Positive: This course really is incredible. Low pressure, muni course that really offers some of the most beautiful views I’ve seen.

Ended up playing here kind of last-minute while spending a weekend in LA. Was very pleased with the course, the greens were true and quick, views were incredible (especially on the back 9), and of course, weather was perfect.

Negative: This course is the epitome of what is killing this game: 5+ hour rounds, zero etiquette or respect for tee times, and they regularly put 5 people in a group even though they claim everyone in the group must approve This course is playing a volumes game…they have a good rate at around $40 for walking, but they use that rate to cram as many people onto the course at once. You will have plenty of time to take in the 3 or so holes that have great ocean views…because you will be standing around rather than playing golf. Save your money and pay more to play a course that actually cares about this game.
