The Lakes At El Segundo Golf Course

The Lakes is a great course for a quick 9 hole round or for someone new to the game. For a par 3 course, the greens are quite huge! For the amount of play they get, the greens are in decent shape. Fairways are maintained well, but the tee boxes here are completely uneven. You will have to take a few steps back from the tee to find yourself someplace flat to hit from.
The ball rolls well and super fast if you’re putting downhill. This is a fairly straightforward course, so you won’t really need a driver unless you prefer to hit the long ball to the 4^th hole.
Pace of play is pretty quick, ranging anywhere between an hour to an hour and a half round. It really depends who you get stuck behind, but on a good day, it picks up pretty fast.
Would I play here again? You bet! This place offers a driving range, practice putting green, and fair prices. That’s all a golfer enthusiast can ask for!

I highly recommend that anyone looking to improve their golf game go directly to Scott Morgan. Literally within 5 minutes in my lesson, Scott taught me something that changed my entire game. I’m hitting great distances, straight, as long as I remember the things that Scott taught me. It was amazing. This man knows his golf. And was hilarious. Just completely impressive.

Arrive early this morning before the sun came up. Met a great guy Mike in the pro shop. Before I could hit my first ball at the first T I was joined by a professional caddy name Jeff, great guy! Jeff and I played 9 hole I enjoyed the game and his company. Thanks Jeff for your game tips and your company. I love the course so much I played and another 9 holes. I finished my visit with a turkey sandwich in the event centers restaurant. Love it, will be back on the November 1, to purchase my $ 75.00 monthly unlimited golf card. Pastor McKnight

My go-​to driving range. The double decks have yet to be completely full on any visit. Parking is never an issue. The large putting surface can be pretty packed during the day though. A few people chipping to the green on occasion, using long pvc pipe to stop their balls is nice of them, but takes up the use of 3 pins at a time, unless you want to ignore their play. When they finish, the green has long indented lines from the pvc pipe.

Really nice 9-​hole course here. Very well-​kept grounds, greens are big and fast, some of the tee shots are interesting and can be challenging depending on pin placement. Nice range and a they have a pretty good restaurant, too. Only concern for me is there are a couple staff members in the pro shop who could be much more pleasant. Overall, highly recommended!

My office is down the street from here so I tend to come after work to play 9 or hit a bucket of balls. The course is decent for a par 3, but it gets back up easily. Expect it to take about 2 hrs to play 9. The range has a lot of mats so it’s easy to find a spot (unlike rancho park).

Pretty cool spot. Lots of parking, lots of driving range spaces on a double decker hitting spot. Decent 9-​hole executive course with two par-4’s and some very short wedge tee shots. Pretty cheap, too.

two level driving range — wasn’t too busy on a Sunday morning; would definitely come back again to practice my swing!

Pretty cool plce 3 stars cause its smells really bad on the range. Prices are high for balls, bar is small! Im be back plenty of times i jut wish it didnt smell im hoping it was just the one time.

Nice golf course I like to come to to hit some balls. Pretty spacious driving range with two levels of stalls. I usually hit a large bucket ($ 10) at the range or go to the putting range. Very clean and well kept facilities. They also have a café on the premise where you can relax afterwards and grab a drink or a bite to eat. They have a nice outdoor patio area with a beautiful view of the lake. Definitely a family friendly course with lots of parking.

The golf course is bit hilly but beautiful. It seems to be always sunny and always welcoming. The driving rage is outstanding. There are two tiers and goes 300 yards.
The restaurant isn’t very good. They need to put in a real bar and some better food and some remodeling. It could be very nice.
The staff in the pro shop are nice and efficient. Bobby has helped me before and he is always so sweet and knows his job very well. He should be the manager.
If you have time to waste before your flight stop in and play a round or hit a bucket. Military are free which I like. They should get everything free. Several coupons on the web to save you some money.

I love the Lakes. It’s close to home, with easy parking, and super kid and family friendly. The driving range has two levels. On a hot day it’s nice to be down low. In the early evening or winter it’s nice to be in the sun on top. The staff are nice and helpful.
The course is a 9-​hole par 3. I’ve never played it, but I’d like to. I just come here for driving and putting. You can also chip. They have instructors available for lessons too, both for adults and kids, just give them a call to get details.
Another plus — you can have an alcoholic beverage while you or your kids are at the range hitting balls. Yeah! Friday night happy hour with golf anyone?

For someone still working on his/​her golf game, The Lakes is a great place to improve. It is a golf facility, with a driving range, pro shop, and a fun 9 hole, pitch n’ putt golf course.
1) The driving range has about 50 – 60 stalls, fairly well maintained, with upper and lower levels. The range balls are mostly in good shape, and they also have flags established at various distances. The maximum driving range distance plays to about 250 yards, which is plenty far for me.
NOTE: Use Unilocal check-​in and you will get a free small bucket with the purchase of a large bucket ($ 8).
2) The Par 3 Course at the Lakes is fun. You will get public course hackers, kids, and folks playing in larger groups. The greens were in good condition when I played, and there are two par 4 holes, and the remaining 7 holes are par 3, so par 29 for the course. You can bring your own beverages, so drink a beer, or otherwise, and have a good time.

Came here to go to the driving range and to use the Unilocal deal (free small bucket when you buy a large one)…comes out to $ 10.
Has 2 levels for the driving range, and is very clean.
But if your coming from downtown area, this place is a bit far.
OVERALL: A very clean, driving range, recommended by an elite Unilocaler.

My Favorite 9 hole course around. Nothing better than a lazy sunday on this course. Unlike most 9 hole course, there ALOT of variation here. Tons of elevation changes, distances, sand, water, multilevel greens…
On busy days it gets pretty back up though the first 3 holes but then usually plays smoothly till 9 where it usually backs up again.
Its a really nice balance between challenging and relaxing.

The Lakes is a multi-​use local golf facility…
1) Driving range w/​about 50 – 60 stalls, well maintained, with upper and lower levels. I’ve never gone here and not gotten a stall. Sometimes there are no rubber tees for hitting woods, but I carry one in my bag, so goody for me. The range balls are mostly in good shape, and aside from some noisy patrons on their phones it is a good place to work on your game.
NOTE: If you are going to hit balls regularly, go inside and get a range card, because it is the best deal. You get «more money» on your card when you buy buckets in bulk. I usually get my whole month up front, and it saves time and money.
2) The Par 3 Course at the Lakes is interesting, if not somewhat enjoyable. You will get public course hackers, kids, folks playing in larger groups, and a few rude people here and there… but hey, its a public course… no one is a freakin’ pro, so get over it. Any day on the golf course (even a lousy one) beats a day behind my desk, fighting traffic, or getting mauled by a bear. So suck it up, drink a beer, and laugh with your buddies… most likely you stink at golf too… because if you were THAT good, you’d be playing the Trump course with some big shot real estate mogul not the Lakes.
3) Golf is about having fun, being accessible to everyone, and constantly finding ways to improve your game. You can do all the above at the Lakes, so when you go to one of the expensive, posh courses around LA… you can shoot better and appreciate it.
Swing away!!!

Nice small 9 hole course, good for a work afternoon «offsite» meeting or group outing. Work the morning, have lunch, play a quick Nine and be home for an early dinner. Better yet, you better go exercise first because you probably didn’t burn enough calories on the course.
Located adjacent to the big Raytheon campus, this location is easy to get in and out of off Sepulveda. Lots of parking. We’ve had a few going away luncheons on the outside patio, fitting quite a few people comfortably. The food’s not bad either.
The driving range has a two level tee area with 58 hitting stalls. There’s a large natural grass putting green and chipping pitching area.
Not bad for a municipal course.

The lakes at El Segundo… More like the pond at El Segundo. There are two small ponds on the whole course which come into play on about 3 holes.
The course is a small 9 hole par 3 golf course with x2 260 yard par 4’s. It is well maintained, a lot better than the average muni course.
The course is nice, but not as good as the Marriott which is a couple of blocks down the street. Also at $ 18 it seems a little high for what you get.
I also did not appreciate the ground staff cutting holes in the green when we were in the middle of playing the hole. One of my playing partners could not put as the hole and dirt was in his putting line.

Ive never actually played all 18 holes here. Just come over to hit some balls on the practice field. The course looks great however and very inviting. Plus the staff is very friendly and professional.
Ill be sure to follow up with a more thorough review next time. But if all you want to do is work on your swing or putting, stop by The Lakes at Gundo for some R&R.

A RANT/​RANDOM STUFF TO GET OFF MY CHEST
Their web site blows. You can’t book tee times there. You can’t see open spots.
The only thing the site seems good for is booking weddings which seems a terrible idea considering that the place is across the street from an oil refinery.
Things you don’t want to hear at your wedding:
«Hey, what’s that smell?»
«Let’s shoot this photo in the other direction, the billows of smoke and fire are in the background the other way.»
«Was that an explosion?»
THE SERIOUS PART OF MY REVIEW
Outside of that, the course is actually pretty nice. It’s a nine hole and is kept in good condition.
Most of it is par three so perfect for beginners. One hole is pretty long and angles up significantly so you have to use your wood and get a good shot. You could also use a lesser iron and hit a bunch of short shots, but where’s the fun in that?
