Didn't play Balboa, but practically lived at Encino and Woodley when I was out in LA for 2 pilot seasons in the early 2000's and a two month visit with my son about 5 years ago. Some rounds at Rustic Canyon, Tierra Rejada, Simi Hills, Camarillo Springs and Sterling Hills but 80% were at Woodley/Encino. BIG fan of Rustic - I think it might be my favorite (tied, perhaps, with Soule Park up in Ojai - same designer ) in the area. Tierra's a great (tough) track, and have played Sterling Hills once and really dug it. Have yet to get out to Camarillo or Simi, but they're on my list, for sure. Up by me there's Sand Canyon (used to be Robinson Ranch, apparently) - really beautiful desert mountain track - if you ever get back this way, let's definitely get out and play it. Worth the price of admission ($70 on a weekday, $90 Sat/Sun). Encino's definitely my preferred of the Balboa/Woodley/Encino triumvirate - but only because I have my lowest round ever there chisag and Rob Person 2 Quote Driver - Callaway Ai Smoke Max - 9* - Draw setting; Maltby UL (Otto Phlex) 5/7 Wood - Takomo Ignis Utility - Caley X01 Driving Iron (3 = 18*) (currently benched) Irons (5-PW) - Caley 01T Wedges (48, 52, 56, 60) - Indi Wedges FLX 48 / ATK 52, 56, 60 Putter - L.A.B.

tdc1 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I have always been function over fashion in everything I wear. The bucket hat or my sun sleeves may look goofy to some others on the course but keeping the tops of my ears from being cut off (like my father and a couple of golfing buddies I know) is more than worth it. Besides, I don't have to look at me.

I'm vain when it comes to my bag, but never for sun protection.

Home course is Trump National and also play local course Los Verdes. Los Verdes is a fun course and good test of golf for not a lot of money. I used to play there when I lived in Redondo Beach. Now live near San Jose. No city/county courses as good as Los Verdes near here. Good courses are privately operated and more expensive.

Good test for the price with some ocean views on a handful of holes. I wish they charged a bit more and fixed up the course a little but that's how LA County courses go and no complaints from me. Challenge to walk as well, but good workout.

I actually like Encino best out of that triumvirate, but I shot my best round at Woodley. I pretty much live at Rancho Park though, and tee times are a little easier to get under the City’s new rules. But I’m surprised you didn’t mention a great City track that you have to pass to get to Encino, that being Hansen Dam. It’s definitely better than Balboa and Woodley, and it’s a toss up between Hansen and Encino… Rob Person 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
