live not too far from rustic, would be down to join yall if you want a 3rd
This is the other best option (after Sandpiper) in the SB area, without a drive, for sure. Over the hill, but not a long drive. Totally different vibe from piper, but often you can get deals if you play both.
Long-time lurker, first time poster - finally created an account to share a semi-local deal. If youāre looking to make a day out of Sandpiper, thereās a good deal running on Golf Moose - $129 for Sandpiper with a free replay. Same deal for Rancho San Marcos for $69.
I bought the Sandpiper voucher when I saw the deal the other week (the free replay is what really sold me), but havenāt trekked up from Long Beach to use it yet. The website seems to have good reviews - hopefully someone on here has used them and can vouch.

Holy shit yeah thatās a steal. Buying now thanks!
Also, @Lazstradamus just reminded me that itās the Genesis that week. Anyone planning on going? I might do Sandpiper one day and Genesis the other, instead of playing 2 days.

I have used Golfmoose deals previously. Very easy to do and the courses have always been very cooperative.

Friends in 405 traffic-induced misery,
Iām in town next weekend and my buddies booked a round at Los Verdes for Saturday morning at 9:24 am. I know itās notoriously slow there, so how long of a round are we looking at and should we consider other options if itās going to be a death march?
played on a saturday w/ an 1130 ish start like a mo. ago. took a full 6 hrsā¦honestly try and start on the back if theyll let you ha. thats the only reason to go there IMO

plus, depending on where youāre coming from, youāll need to give yourself plenty of time before and after the round for the drive. Thereās no easy way to get into or out of the peninsula.

Woof. Figured as much. Guess weāll have plenty of time to enjoy the scenery on the back. Good call as well on the drive time in and out of RPV.
I feel like Iām the 10th out of towner in a row, but looks like Iām coming in Feb 23rd. Whatās the daylight situation right now, how late can you play to? Trying to figure out if I can get a full round in.

Rustic is about an hour and thereās also Santa Anita GC 15 minutes away which @thefriedegg has raved about as another hidden gem.

The 18th fairway at Santa Anita makes the 14th at Pasatiempo look tame. Pretty fun course if its convenient, but not worth a special trip. Pair it with an afternoon at the track though, and youāve got yourself a day!

Santa Anita was my home course in high schoolā¦ It is fun and Iāve been meaning to go back and play it.
Just circling around, we ended up playing Rustic on Friday, Soule Park on Saturday, Olivas Links and Soule Park on Sunday, and Rustic again on Monday morning. We stayed in Ventura.
We plan on making this a semi-regular golf trip. Rustic and Soule are fricken amazing! Olivas is good as well, just not quite on the same level, IMO.
Thanks for everyoneās input on this.

See what the airlines can do for me in terms of arrival and daylight. Waiting 30 min for my golf bag at LAX bag claim will be a killer.
Iām going to be out there 4-5 times the rest of the year so Iāll be able to hit a few spots on different trips.
