It’s a 9 Hole course with beautiful scenery and fast greens. Staff was great and the carts aren’t beat up. The video I’m posting shows Sawtelle mountain in the back ground.

2019.6.19. First 6 holes are short and a little too close to the cabins. Last 3 holes are nice with pond and glacier view. Reasonable price and enjoyed it overall. Also thanks to the lady at clubhouse for the trust with the rentals.
