Is It In? No, It's 50 yards Away, Apr 04, 2007

| This course is okay for the average golfer but not as good in the respect for long hitters. The Lakes is a fun "little" course but could be improved. You can be distracted by many things such as the highway or the nearby oil refinery. If you slice or hook, half of the hole locations will cause you to hit OB. Lower your expectations if you want a large course. The nine holes are well kept but inconsistent around the greens.
If you want more, the driving range is okay as well as the putting area. Good Luck For Nothing. |

| This begginer course is an excellent learning exprience for young children. In fact I am playing there tommorrow. the fairways are in really good shape. However if you want to take out the driver, think about the driving range. Otherwise it is the 2nd best course I have ever seen besides the Widows in Sunriver Orgen. |

Tiger Woods? I don't think soooo!, Nov 05, 2004

| I have played the Lakes at El Segundo many times. It is a fun, little pitch & put course just off the PCH, set amongst the El Segundo refineries near the airport. The fumes from the refineries often waft across the course. In spite of its name, I don't remember seeing any lakes. The redeeming feature is its proimity to LAX airport. In the days before the long security checkin lines, you could sneak in a quick 9 holes before heading to the airport rental car return areas only about 15 minutes away.
There is an old Joke that goes: Question- "How's your wife?" Answer: "Better than nothin'" Well so is this course.
Regarding Tiger, not unless he is visiting the head Pro, who if he has not retired, was a very well respected golf instructor. I forget his name, but there was an article about him a few years ago in one of the golf magazines. |
