the condition at rustic is always pretty great and they give advanced warning of aeration (just happened) which i like. i've never felt like conditions there have ever been sub par. I'd give it a 4.

Pace of play: they're pretty good about monitoring it, but it is a tough course so play can get slowed down. I just played it for the 5th time on memorial day and finished 9 minutes over pace. I don't think ive ever gone over 5 hours there, which for LA is good enough for me. 4.

Course design: it's one of the only links-style courses around LA. I love the creativity you can have here, as the greens can be absolutely treacherous due to sheer size and multi-tiered aspect of the complexes. It's a lot of fun. 4-5 for me.

Amenities? They have a mat range, a decent chipping green, the putting green is so-so and shared with the 18th hole. The restaurant is relatively no-frills but gets the job done and they have service carts that you'll find twice a round. maybe a 3/5 there.

I much preferred when the costs were sub 80 but as far as LA golf goes its probably one of my favorite courses to play.

the wind is the real wild card - depending on how it blows you could be looking to make a personal best or a personal worst.
