Beautiful Location For A Mediocre Golf Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 21, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Alumni Park is mostly green little park just below Pepperdine University and just above the Pacific Ocean. The views were glorious on a sunny, January day. I parked across the street in the Firestone lot and walked in, somehow missing the course map and sign. Take a picture of this course map, it's current. The on-line map with all the crossing water throws is obsolete.

The course starts by this course sign and basically plays around the second irrigation pond. There are no tee pads so you're mostly playing from basket to basket. No signs either. The baskets Discatchers are painted Pepperdine Green.

I wasn't exactly excited about any hole here. They ranged from OK to horrible (5 & 6). I never found anywhere to tee off for # 5 and # 6 played to a basket way up on the hill, across some really ugly bushy terrain.

Cons:

I think the wind is a constant up here. However, it would be splendid for flying kites.

The # 9 basket has a terrible lean.

On-line map is mostly confusing.

No tee pads and no signage.

5 & 6 are just ugly holes.

Other Thoughts:

There's probably a reason this course has such low ratings and looks to be underutilized, it just isn't a very inspired layout. But I think I saw Charlie Sheen's "Two and a Half Men's" Malibu Beach House down below. And I'm sure that was Demi Moore in the red Mercedes and that was definitely Julia Roberts walking her dogs. So see, come to Malibu and you are guaranteed to see some of Hollywood's elite.
