Showed up Wednesday morning at 8 :45 as a single with the next 4 tee times wide open and the older man behind the desk was making a big deal about letting me out as a single rider and refused to let me out as a single rider . Then proceed to send someone out on the same tee time as a single rider ! Picks and chooses who to hand carts out to. As I played saw multiple single riders but was denied mine. Then proceeded to call me sweet heart as a rude gesture on the way out.

As a member of El Cariso, this comes from a place of love. I have over 20 years of hospitality…read moreexperience, and I'm appalled by the customer service in the clubhouse. With the exception of the red-haired lady, the rest of the staff--particularly the men--act like they despise being there. The website is completely unreliable for bookings, so I'm forced to call. Every single time, I'm told they "can't book over the phone," even though they absolutely can. After just two months, I'm seriously considering canceling my membership. That should tell you how bad it is. I genuinely enjoy the course itself, but walking into the clubhouse fills me with anxiety. The staff make you feel small, stupid, and unwelcome. They ooze contempt simply for you daring to be a paying customer. No smiles. No eye contact. No thank you for your business. Nothing. I can tolerate overbookings. I can tolerate running out of carts on a regular basis. What I cannot tolerate is dealing with people who clearly couldn't care less about the guest experience. It's heartbreaking to watch how much potential business the upstairs bar is losing because the guys downstairs treat basic customer service like it's beneath them. The worst part? This is an incredibly simple fix. A smile, basic eye contact, and minimal human decency would go a very long way. Right now, it feels like the staff is actively working against the enjoyment of the course, not for it

From the very beginning, working with event coordinators Molly Amos and Melissa Tapas has been an absolute pleasure. They are knowledgeable, responsive, and truly attentive to every detail, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day of the event, the entire team exceeded expectations. Maria, Sophia, Zoe, and Carmen were fantastic. Professional, friendly, and always one step ahead of our needs. A special shoutout to head maitre d' Chris Garzia, who went above and beyond to ensure both we and our guests were taken care of. His attention to detail and commitment to service made a noticeable difference throughout the evening. Our bartender who's name I forgot was also a highlight; engaging, upbeat, and attentive, making sure our guests and especially our students had everything they needed. It truly takes a team effort to pull off a successful event, and alongside my colleagues, the staff at Knollwood made it a seamless and memorable experience. We look forward to continuing this tradition for years to come! Thank you Knollwood, we'll see you next year!

Reading the reviews with time and waiting we didn't have to deal wait that as the first group out…read more For the money you kinda expect a better experience and a bit of a nicer pro shop, food, etc. No direction was given it was check in and see you later. The course is very challenging, narrow, long, and unforgiving out of bounds. The greens were in good shape and very fast. To be honest with a decent amount of good rain you would think the course would be dialed, but to be honest it was kind of rough. Tons on divot marks that never grew back, patchy approach areas, and just ok tee boxes. As with many other posters for the same price go to Moorpark or Rustic.

I played here yesterday, and I just had to come back here to Yelp to set the record straight,…read morebecause the current 2.5 star rating just doesn't feel like a fair representation of what this course truly has to offer. I've never played here before, but GolfNow was offering a nice discount, so I decided to take a chance on it despite the poor reviews and low star rating, and I was pleasantly surprised by how far it exceeded my very low expectations. Here's what you can expect if you decide to play here: Pre-Round: - Quality warm-up/practice areas. At the range you're hitting decent quality balls, off real grass (not mats) out into a lush grassy range with nicely visible yardage targets. - Putting practice is on a tight, fast green that's well maintained. Only critique here was there weren't many holes to aim to... I counted maybe 4-5 total, which is not much. - Clubhouse was a lovely Spanish style building, with clean bathrooms, nice pro shop with friendly staff, and a cafe/food window set next to a nice outdoor patio eating area. The Golf: - Walking is not permitted (for pacing reasons, I assume) but the electric golf carts are HIGH-QUALITY, not beat up, cheap public course shame trains. They each have full color screens with GPS enabled course maps, providing you with hole layouts and yardages. They are stocked with complimentary bottled water, towels, and tees. Before you even swing a club, this feels like a premium experience. - The course conditions were beautiful. They're not perfect... you're not playing Augusta National here, but it was well above average for a public course. Tee boxes were level, green, weed free and well maintained. If you're used to playing public courses where you have to dance a two-step around the tee box for 2 minutes trying to find a level spot to hit from, you'll feel spoiled by the beautiful tee boxes. -Fairways are tight, a bit hard (you're in desert terrain) and very green. Didn't see a lot of dead grass out there, but then again it did rain recently. -The first cut rough is pretty well maintained, with some weeds around the edges, but for the most part very playable. -Bunkers has a few large rocks in them here and there, but were pretty fluffy and soft for the most part. One bunker I landed in was so soft, my ball plugged into the sand a good inch or two. -The course design is really interesting and unique, and WILL BE A CHALLENGE for most weekend golfers. You need to be accurate off the tees and have a decent approach game. If not, bring a lot of balls because the desert OB areas are cruel and will mercilessly collect your entire last order of golf balls off Amazon. - The pace of play was actually great. We never felt rushed and never felt like we waited more than a few minutes for the group ahead to finish. We played on Sunday, teeing off just before noon, so you'd expect it to be busy, but it was pleasantly un-crowded. -I appreciated the little details that this course has paid attention to, like areas around the tee boxes and beside cart paths that often have beautiful hard-scape features, like rocks or pavers, which is a classy touch. Other on-course amenities: - Ball washers were regularly placed throughout the course - At least one set of bathrooms was out on the course (thank you very much). - Beverage carts came around at least twice to check on us and offer us food during the round... another premium that you don't get on cheap public courses. One STRANGE experience: We finished our round around 4:30PM and when we rolled in toward the clubhouse, the place was an absolute ghost town. Not a soul was in sight. Pro shops was dark, locked up and closed. Food service window was closed, security cage pulled over the window. There were no human beings anywhere when I pulled my cart up to the cart return--- just felt odd that nobody was around. Other than that, Angeles National served up a great day of quality golf with premium amenities. It's not cheap, but it's also not as expensive as you might expect for a high quality course. With our GolfNow "HotDeal" it was around $120 and I consider it a steal at that price. If that price tag is a stretch, then reward yourself with a round here once in a while and enjoy the incredible mountain views, picturesque desert, and course conditions that far exceed expectations of a public course.

I like coming here early in the morning because it's a wonderful environment to walk or run or walk your dog. The people that work at the park are extremely friendly. Everyone says good morning. There's a little café in case you want to get coffee or if you prefer something with alcohol in it. I understand that at the café, you can watch the World Cup game or any game on the weekends and they feature Modelo beer. I just come to the park because it's a nice place. Peaceful and very well kept up. I walked my dog along the outside pathway, where I am confident that any park coyotes are well off the beaten track.

I had a pretty disappointing experience checking in. When I arrived, the staff member at the front…read moredesk didn't acknowledge me at all, which set a negative tone right away. I had already paid for my round through GolfNow, and it didn't include a cart, so I asked about renting one. I was asked if I wanted to share a cart with someone else, but there was no one else to share with, as our group was only three people. Despite that, I was charged $36, essentially paying for two seats instead of just one. The lack of communication and the way the situation was handled felt unprofessional and unnecessary. Hopefully management can improve customer service and be more transparent about cart fees in the future

As a runner, that was such a fun and personal touch. From the run to the party, everything was perfect. Thanks to my sister and man for celebrating me like this! Afterward, we headed to Best Ball where we ate, drank, laughed, and spent a couple of hours having a great time. The food was really good, the drinks were flowing, and the atmosphere was fun without feeling overcrowded. There's a full bar and a large restaurant area with plenty of seating, so it was easy for everyone to hang out together. The service here is amazing they took care of us and we had a DJ and a photo booth outside to make it more festive! The babe even brought the cake over the day before and they were so great at keeping it. Whether you're there to golf, celebrate, or just spend time with friends, this place is a great spot. My favorite people, lots of laughs, good food, and a surprise birthday I'll never forget. What more could I ask for? We run here in the dark, daytime and evenings and pass this restaurant all the time we will be coming here more often. Lots of parking out in the front. Highly recommend for birthdays or any excuse to get a group together!

But the inside is deceptively large with lots and lots of seating near the mini mini large screen TVs. There is a bar that serves hard liquor and several outside patios. The food is reasonably priced. Most entrées are under $15. And best of all they are dog friendly. You can actually bring your pooch inside the restaurant where they will offer you a bowl of water for your dog. The manager opened the door for me because I was hesitant to bring him in. I just wanted a bottle of water. But I was made aware that they are very dog friendly and dogs are happily welcome down the inside. They offer breakfast starting at 7:30 AM, which is perfect after a Walker run around the golf course. But they also have our food which is chicken nuggets, french fries, hamburgers, etc.. Someone in the kitchen is a little heavy-handed with the salt. So tell them to take it easy if you are salt sensitive like I am. The toast came with my breakfast and it was burnt. So I sent the salty eggs back with the toast and ask them to redo it. They redid the whole meal for me and it came back perfectly. I will be coming back here with some friends.

I am a beginner and I feel very lucky to have Ben as my instructor. I found him through Yelp and…read morelooked up his profile on PGA's website. It turns out that Ben is the only PGA instructor in Sunland. Ben is always patient and he explains each step clearly. He has his own teaching method, and a way of assessment. He is very experienced and knows what he is doing. When I was practicing putting one day, he asked me to putt in a direction that looked ridiculous to me. But he is the pro, what can I say?? So I followed his instruction and did exactly what he asked me to do, the ball went in! I recommend 30-minute lessons, because one-hour lessons will make me feel tired and hard to concentrate.

Being the stereotypical Korean, I decided to pick up golf last year and I tried a couple of…read moredifferent instructors before I found Ben, and here's how he is different: 1. He incorporates the mental approach of golf into his lessons, rather than just pointing out how to change my swing. What I mean is that he gets you to be in the right mindset before hitting the ball, which has helped me a lot on the times I would get frustrated. 2. He's all about teaching a natural, fluid swing and not trying force it, rather than trying to kill the ball like I tend to do. This actually helps with not just accuracy but also distance. 3. He teaches useful drills to help your swing, that you can practice both at home or at the range. 4. The way he teaches is very simple and easy to understand. You only think about 1 or 2 things as you try your swing, instead of the list of 10 different things that just overwhelms most beginners. 5. He's really laid back, which I think helped me take in everything he was saying. Sometimes I don't know how he keeps his patience with me when I make the same mistakes over and over. 6. I was CONVINCED that I was pushing some of my shots because I need to adjust my clubs. He could have easily charged me a ton of money to make adjustments and get new shafts, but instead he looked at my swing and showed me that it was the carpenter, not the tools. I'm grateful that he taught me the root of the problem, rather than trying to accommodate for a flawed swing. 7. I frequently email him about different problems I run across during a round (how to hit on an uneven lie, etc) and he's always willing to give really helpful advice. Not many instructors would go out of their way to do that. 8. Grass range! So much better than hitting off mats. Personal story: Before meeting Ben, I knew I was casting the club but previous instructors had all told me it was because I wasn't whipping my hands/wrist fast enough, which really introduced a lot more errors and inconsistency when I tried that. When Ben explained it to me, I didn't really get it at first until I kept practicing the drill he taught me and then a few days later, it made complete sense. Now I understand how to release the club properly and effortlessly every time and that alone was worth the lesson! I can't recommend Ben enough. If you're having trouble with your swing or need club adjustments, you should definitely check him out!
