I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the recent experience I had at the golf range on Tuesday October 4th. I arrived at the range at 6:40 PM, eager to practice my game, only to find that the range ball machines already had a sticker on them stating, "No more balls, be right back."What followed was a frustrating ordeal that lasted for over 40 minutes. During this time, I patiently waited for the range to replenish the balls. However, my patience wore thin as I noticed that the staff responsible for collecting the carts and distributing balls were moving at a snail's pace and seemingly ignoring the fact that a line of frustrated customers, including myself, had formed.My concerns escalated when I realized that, despite my considerable wait, there were still no balls available for use at 7:55 PM on a Monday night. This experience has left me questioning whether the golf range is intentionally hindering its members' ability to play and practice.As a dedicated member of your golf range, I find this level of service and apparent indifference towards customers unacceptable. I believe it is imperative that you address this issue promptly to ensure that such incidents do not repeat in the future. It is essential for a golf range to maintain a high standard of service and ensure that members have access to the facilities they pay for.I kindly request that you investigate this matter thoroughly, take necessary corrective actions, and provide an explanation to the members regarding what steps will be taken to prevent such occurrences in the future. I hope to see a swift resolution to this matter so that I can continue to enjoy my membership without further inconveniences.

The Pros: Course condition is fine and decent. There are patches of dry grass here and there in the summer time, but gets better if it rains. Southern California is expected to be dry. The greens is also decent with good ball motion when putting. Not the best, but far from worst. Fairways are large with good lies and decent grass. There are some tall roughs on the side. Easy to lose balls. This course is perfect for golf improvement. This course has 27 holes. The main 18 holes River and Pine course is almost 7000 yards. The Mountain course is a good size 9 hole for everyone. They have a $50 monthly membership that includes a free bucket of range balls everyday. 1/2 price on cart rental and free at twilight. Awesome deal. The Cons: Some areas of the course could use some repairing and cut the grass down a little. A large bucket here is $18. A bit expensive compared to others.The range has no shade, extremely hot in summer sunThe range close at 9pm, but if you get there at 7, there's always a line waiting to get balls. They need more range balls. The line is to wait for the staff to go fetch the balls back from the range. Balls are not washed after pick up from range. Very muddy.Facility miss management. Cleaness is not there forte. Restroom is always out of toilet papers and seat covers. No one seems to keep the place clean. I believe these are very much a management issues. Alhambra is much much cleaner.

All the time I have spent driving aimlessly to find some food, could have been spent eating.

Golf course is currently infested with gnats. It was so bad we decided to end our round after 9 holes, and we had to deal with gnats on every hole just to get that far. The course is usually easy to get on to and the prices are decent. But dealing with gnats in your face every swing was just too annoying. Not worth playing there at any price until they do something about the gnat infestation.

This is one of the public golf course in the 626 area. There are a lot of parking spaces. Staff at the pro shop is friendly. I did not have a chance to try their cafe. This course has a pretty long distance. However, it was not well maintained. The lawn on the fairway was long, and I did not get a lot of roll. There times that you will not be able to fine your golf ball if you hit it to the rough because the rough is long. I will not likely to come back due to the course condition.

Course is in decent shape for a county course but the pace of play has been awful lately. I usually play twilight and sick of 5-6 hour rounds I tried booking a 9 AM tee time one day. Low and behold I didn't tee off until 9:45 because it was backed up already, then left after 14 holes because it was on pace for a 6+ hour round and I actually value my time. They really need to focus on speeding up pace of play, getting a marshall, a starter, and preventing people from cutting in at the turn. Even it means not overbooking tee times. There was also a grass range for a bit last fall but that seems to have stopped.

If I could provide zero stars, I would. For starters, they have bad management, how can you have so many golf carts sitting unused but be missing the keys for each cart?! Excuse from staff was that people take the keys home with them. I don't understand how so many keys are missing for at least 20 golf carts, those keys are easily replaceable. My guess the managers are bad at there job, they let the situation of missing keys get so bad that no one can use the golf carts. That is a bad business practice for such a large golf course.

My dad and his friends golf here once a week (retired bunch). They make the drive out there to play together because it's a midpoint for them. Last week, they go to check in (having made reservations) and were told that despite having a 1:30 pm tee time, they couldn't play because there was a tournament. Keep in mind, this is not a short drive for my dad and his friends to get to the course. Still, nothing was offered to them as a form of apology and they left feeling very upset. I don't understand how they could just unilaterally cancel a tee time without providing advance notice and being extremely apologetic? So unprofessional. My dad and his friends are also not native English speakers and I wonder if the employees would have been more apologetic if that weren't the case. In any event, I hope this does not happen to anyone again.

I recently started coming to the Whittier Narrows driving range with my mom in the evenings. Can be a little dirty and it can get pretty crowded on the nice nights but I haven't had to wait more than 20 minutes for an open spot. My mom has some kind of membership there (price is around $50) that allows her to get a one large bucket of golf balls every single day of the month! I love that it keeps her active!

Terrible course and customer service. Highly suggest playing elsewhere. There are much better places to spend your time and money.

Haven't played here in a long time, but was able to book an 8:30 tee time on Presidents' Day for $25 for 9 holes on the Mountain course. Pretty easy course that isn't too long and has wide fairways and not too many trees or bunkers to trip you up. Fairways are pretty jacked up and there are lots of dirt patches and dead grass on every hole. One thing that is pretty tricky is the greens are tiny. It's pretty hard to land it on the greens and most of my iron shots rolled off onto the intermediate fringe. However, the greens are pretty flat and really aren't that hard to read. We played at a leisurely pace, but did notice it got pretty busy in the afternoon. After my round, I decided to hit the range. It cost like $14 for a large bucket of 80 balls, but they charged like $1.50 for the rubber tee. I have never heard of that before. Overall, decent course that isn't too hard and is a decent course to get some practice rounds in.
