Wilshire Golf Club

Wilshire has been around for a long time, and is a very busy course. You will have a much easier time getting off if you wait until the afternoon or a tee time. There are lots of members/regulars that play there so be prepared to wait between holes. The course is fairly challenging but there are several holes that allow for easy scoring. The greens were not in the best of shape last time I played there...kind of a grayish color. The second hole is always wet even during a 100 year drought I think it would be "swampy". It is also not a cheap course either, $26 to play after 1pm, weekday! You will meet some good people on the course though and can usually find a few people to play with if you are short a person or two for a foursome.

Pace of play was great for a Sunday morning. The course maintained pretty well but the greens could use a little bit of work.

I have played several rounds of golf at Wilshire so know it well. It is a fairly interesting layout that is in fairly good condition and is fairly forgiving. We usually play in the afternoon when the pace of play is good. Weekend greens fees are $31 to ride and $21 to walk - not a bargain by any means, but reasonable.Course par is 71 and it plays just over 6,000 yards from the back tees, 5,400 yards from the white tees, and 4,318 yards from the red tees. There is also a set of yellow tees (for senior men?) that is not on the scorecard. The red tees are well placed, my wife was able to hit approach shots with similar clubs to my son and I who played the back tees.The hole lengths vary, so you don't just hit driver off every tee. Water is present on a number of holes also, and the tee marker helpfully indicates the distance from the tee to water when that is a factor. There are three holes that are severely uphill and so quite challenging. The greens are interesting because they are very firm -- it is hard to get an approach shot to "stick" even with a short iron -- but they roll slow when putting. That said, they roll true so you just have to adjust to that.The course seems to be a family owned and operated. The club house staff are very friendly. We are looking forward to heading back soon.

The course is not in good shape whatsoever. It was very difficult to tell which was the fairway and rough. The course has not been very maintained with tall weeds around the cart paths and the railroad timbers going up the cart paths. For the money I would go to Sapona Country Club, where after 3pm on the weekends is $25 for 18 holes instead of $32 like here. I was rather disappointed in the courses condition and will not be playing here again. I really don't like to leave bad reviews but I felt the need to write this because it was that bad.
