Hole 2

This course is more East Rancho Dominguez than Compton, just off the 710. I tried this course for the first time last weekend. The course was very quiet and those on the course were playing at a very fast pace.  I have read other reviews and people say the same about how quiet the place usually is.

The price is very reasonable ($6 at weekends) and the course was surprisingly long for a par 3. In fact I hear it is one of the longest par 3’s in the country at 1,345 yards. I found the course a bit boring to be honest. All of the holes felt the same. At least 7 of the 9 holes were in the 150-160 yard range. All straight with the only hazards being trees. As you have probably figured out from my other posts, I enjoy a golf course with variation and different hole lengths. I like having the ability to use different clubs and figure out club choice on each hole.

The condition of the course was fair. Throughout the middle few holes there was a lot of mud around. It was surprising as it hadn’t rained for a while. The greens are of decent size, the grass was adequate. I have seen a lot better, but also seen considerably worse. The grass wasn’t exactly immaculate, with some holes/ divots etc on the greens. We saw only one ball cleaner on the whole course. It is usually standard to see one at the start of every hole.

The highlight for me was the last – 9th hole. This hole was relatively long and wide – ending to the left of the club house.

Richie says.. “If I lived locally I would probably play this course more frequently. But it is really not worth the 45 minute drive for me. I have better options closer to me. Don’t let the location being in Compton put you off. The area was ok and I did not feel any safety concerns at all while playing. Compton has changed and it is not like the Compton of the 1990’s any more”.

Albino says… “Long par 3! If you like long par 3’s then this is your place.”

Chris says… “I like Compton, but again it is not worth the long drive for me. If you live near it is a good course. It is cheap, but the problem is that there is only one ball washing station. Also none of the holes are marked. So if you don’t know where you are going you are randomly wandering the course trying to figure out where to go.”
