Roosevelt Golf Course

Fun course! The starter was great and I got to play with a staff member who was friendly and super helpful. It's a challenging course and you are able to use most clubs in your bag. Greens roll pretty nicely and the views are great. You can see the Griffith Observatory on a number of holes. You are also able to play as a fivesome which is fun.

TLDR: tight but great layouts, wet in the morning, lots of elevation and fun-challenging putts. I arrived close to my tee time, 7am for a 7:10am start--my bad! Traffic can build up on the way there. It is Los Angeles. It was still dewey, wet, while it rained a lot 3 days before this round. Practice greens were closed--too wet--and tee boxes were mainly not used--again, too wet. The hole layouts, somewhat tight, were fun and lots of elevation change! 2nd hole you tee off hitting uphill, 6th hole approach is downhill to the green. I kept the driver (~260yd club) in the bag except for 2 holes. Greens are decent size, very good conditions, roll well, and breaks are challenging. The starter made us a group of 5, but we still played quickly, and rarely waited on the 3-some ahead of us after the 1st hole. LONG REVIEW, thanks for reading!

Wouldn't book a tee time here. They are only 9 holes, no carts, want you to dress in golf attire (which is fair but this is the only public course I know that does this), and they want to charge me an extra green fee for my girlfriend who has never played golf, just to walk the course with me. Better bang for your buck at other public courses like Rancho Park, Rustic Canyon, even Encino/balboa. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
