Pico Rivera Golf Course

The late George Carlin had some rather piquant thoughts on golf; however, those exact words are probably better left unquoted in a Unilocal review…
But to keep this somewhat edgy, I’ll add that I generally only stop here when I’m biking past it on the San Gabriel River Trail, and then, only to use the restroom.
I once dragged some clubs behind me in a baby bike trailer just to say I did it… Then hit some balls at the range. The irony, of course, is that I start my ride at the Arcadia Live Oak three par, so really, no point in doing that again.
On one potty break, I waited in the office for an extraordinarily long time for the obvious MENSA-​member desk employee to acknowledge me. Granted, I was wearing biking clothes, and he was trying to explain to a gentleman with a substantial olde English font scalp tattoo that he needed a collared shirt to play here. All I really needed to know was where the restroom was… Maybe buy a Gatorade from the diner. I wasn’t playing golf today, as evidenced by my bike helmet…
Oh, pro tip for dealing with this pro staff: wear a collar to play at this prestigious course.
Anyway, the course looks pretty good, considering the drought and the location adjacent to the river. A couple of greens are located right next to the bike trail, so if you’re easily distracted, you might want to time your swing carefully.
Mark Twain called golf, «a good walk ruined.» Certainly, that’s a possibility at this course.

This cousre is my home course. Ive been coming here for the past 20 years. Its a great 9 hole course. Reasonable prices and a great get a way.

Since my daughter is on a quest to become a champion Golfer and who knew, but yes she’s done good, Pico Rivera Golf Course is where her high school team practices, and I have to say they are treated quite well here. Nice 9 hole, Par 3 and Par 4 course, perfect for beginners like her. The course is well maintained and clean, and yes there are rules, but definitely not hard to follow.
The Pro Shop offers all the many things you might need and the employees are very knowledgable of all their items. There are also great instructors available for one on one training or they offer group classes and prices are really cheap compared to other courses.
The club house offer many decent food items, and have a full bar including a great beer selection, and yes televisions if you happen to be a parent waiting on your kid, this place is nice to catch a game while you wait.

Do not, I repeat do not golf here at night. You will spend the whole time looking for your balls, especially if you are a beginner. I lost 3 balls in one game. Yes I suck but at least let me play from where I really landed. Sprinklers came on as we were finishing up the last 3 holes. Flags were taken away and replaced with a rake. One group had six players. REALLY! Nice course and reasonable prices but not good for night playing.

Me and a friend decided to try a different coarse then our normal coarse so we decided to try pico Rivera out. When we arrived the conditions of the coarse were way better than expected for a 9 hole mostly par 3’s the place was nice the staff was very helpful you get a free small bucket of balls to warm up that was a pleasant surprise the biggest upset was the pace of play I’ll start out buy saying the staff can not control how many people decide to come out and play but if your like me I don’t like to be rushed or to wait 20 min at every hole I would have given this place 5 stars but overall a nice place to play and reasonably priced

Only a par 3 but it does have lights and a range with shading. Ok in a pinch if you need to get out some aggressions. Be prepared to duck and seek cover at any hint of ‘for!’.
Food is good and give deals for locals.
Balls and mats have seen better days. Bring your own tee if you want to hit driver.

Im just learning how to golf. It’s fun. I’ve only gone to the driving range. Large bucket of balls is $ 8

This golf course is zero stars if I can somehow post it with zero but I can’t so I’ll leave it at 1! We walk in and the guy says, sorry you can’t play with out a collar shirt. & then says and your company all must have their bag also. But yet there’s a group of 4 teeing off in the first hole all sharing one bag, one guy with a dodger jersey & the others with sweaters … This golf course is shit ! Fuck the guy at the counter !

11am tee time, 12:30pm tee off. I asked the reason and he said «I’m doing my best, people are complaining and want their food». What? What does food and tee times have to do with each other? If they want to eat and miss their tee time, back of the line they go! Don’t hold up everyone else. This might as well be a «first come, first serve» course.
The extra star is for the tacos… yum!

Went there for their bloody mary. Everyone swears by it if you know people in Pico. Not impressed at all. Although the bf swears it’s because it was not the bartender who normally would make the best bloody mary in town… The boys hit a bucket of balls. I sat and watched and watered down my bloody mary with some dos xx to tolerate the taste. 2 stars cuz the bartender was nice and tried her best to give us a decent bloody mary…

Great 9 hole course. Always have time available and the staff is very helpful. They have a bar to grab a quick drink.
I like this spot more because they also cater to cyclist and runners coming from the San Gabriel River trail. They yave cold water to grab and a few snack options for those looking to take a break.

Worst course to get a round. Course gets over booked there’s no ready golf in play. Its been 1 hour of wait so far and we have only played 3 HOLES!!! Never coming here again.

This is my favorite par 3 golf course. They have great prices and great people that play there. People are down to earth and they care about their golf. Do not be deceived by the people that go there. Everyone that I have met, including me, go there to practice, but most go to big golf courses, some all the way in palm springs, on the weekend.

Came here on Thanksgiving day, thought I’d get in a quick round before all the eating begins. Apparently everyone else thought of the same. Oh and there was also a golf tournament that day, and I put the term tournament loosely. Had I know, our group would’ve gone else where.
Each group was approx 6 players, and we were «lucky» enough to get stuck right behind them. For a short 9 hole course, they sure drank alot of beers.
Marshall tried to speed them up, but to no avail.
We finished in a little over 4 hours.

Set a tee time for 6:30 come to show up and nothing shows and there is a group of 9 in front of us. Group of 9? Seriously?!! Greens stink and the

Pretty good course for beginners and those who have been playing for awhile. Short game is important. Only thing I didnt care for was hitting off the mat.
Took us a little over 2 hours on a Sat AM. Sure there was waiting, but that goes with playing on the weekends.

Too busy! 3 hours to play 9 holes of par 29, not going to work for me.
Nice course though, may be better to play during the week or off-​peak. You need to call in advance to book a tee-​time.
Full review with pics and videos will be on my website as usual.

Great deal through golf now hot deals search. Comes with free large bucket for the range.

I had been here a few times on the weekend and have had several enjoyable outings. I would normally have given another star if it weren’t for my experience today. Had Veteran’s Day off and decided since I am a Veteran I would enjoy 9 holes before the wife had to run off to work and the ankle biters woke up. Checked the Pico Rivera Golf Course website and saw they opened at 6am. Score! Woke up at 5:30 crawled out of my cozy bed and headed out into the 45 degree weather. Arrived at Pico by 6:10, sun was just coming up; thinking aww this is going to be sweeeeet! Got to the pro shop and asked for a round, was informed they weren’t set up yet. Thought to myself what’s to set up? Thought again, ok, I’ll bite. «I thought you opened at 6am?» Oh, I’m sorry that’s on the weekend. «But, that’s not what your website says.» Sorry sir, you are free to wait until 7am when we open.
Needless to say, I was not very happy and I did not get to play my Veterans’ day round of golf. Pico Rivera please update your website to reflect the correct hours of operation.

What can I say about this place! When I used to live in Whittier, this was my hang out place. Come early in the morning or play under the lights. It’s a fun 9-​hole that has a few challenges. With a couple of elevated tee boxes. Yeah, you might see beer bottles laying around and a few kids chasing the skunks. But I have always had great memory’s here. The executive nine hole course plays to a par 29 and measures 1504 yards. The practice facilities include a covered driving range and two putting greens. Golf Course and Driving Range lighting allow for play and practice until 10:00 p.m.
