    The Big Recreation Golf course is one of our favorite places to pay. Very economical & local. They feature a driving range - lighted, putting greens. Actually have my only "Hole in One" here on the front 9. Make sure to sign up for the Long Beach resident club to have savings on every play. Ask the pro shop how to join and you will have savings at several local golf courses. FORE!

    We booked Rec Park 18 for our wedding reception in April. We found this location through our wedding coordinator after booking St. Bartholomew Catholic Church for our wedding ceremony. We were so happy to have found a reception venue just five minutes away - it was a huge selling point for us. After going over the package options, we were set! We loved that it was all inclusive including the bar package - another huge selling point for us. From there, it was so easy to start the planning and designing process. We had a pretty simple and classic vision in mind but Tawnya helped us make it come to life. Talk about an amazingly talented and super sweet human! She was so patient with us and made suggestions that made our vision that much better. The serving staff was incredible and friendly. Our cups were always full and they made sure we were well fed! It was super windy on our wedding day, but that didn't stop the staff from making sure every candle was lit and the place cards were perfectly secure. Aside from the disappointment we experienced with the bartender, we are extremely happy with the reception venue, Tawnya and the other amazing staff at Rec Park!

    Course was in very good condition and 8t was a challenging course. Some fun holes for sure. As an out-of-state player, the greens and rough grass were very hard to adjust to. Had a great time

    Poor man's Riviera. Fun track until you hit that brutal horseshoe of 6-7-8. Legit par 4s. Survive it and a good round is in hand. Lately, greens have not been as fast as they have been. Oddly ElDo greens have been running faster. Great track. POP on Tuesday morning, 4.5 hrs.

    Great old school 18 hole golf course in Long Beach. Beautiful vintage clubhouse that dates to the 1920s. Across 7th Street there is a fun 9 hole executive course. Both are great golf courses with temperate summer temperatures, especially compared to inland locations.

    Traps never raked prior to opening course Greens not well maintained

    Nice course in good shape, greens were a bit quick and sunset caught up to us but great course nonetheless

    When looking for wedding venues we were hoping to find one that offered fair packages, great communication, and attention to detail, and that is exactly what we found at Recreation Park 18 working with Tawnya and her team. Before we requested a tour we inquired about pricing and packages, Tawnya responded promptly and was very informative. We toured the location multiple times, before deciding on our venue and after, and every time it was a very positive experience and Tawnya was very accommodating. A garden wedding full of our own personality was what we envisioned and although we had some aspects of the reception area we wanted to adjust, the team was able to deliver our vision. From start to finish everything was very clear, and if we did have questions along the way Tawnya was able to communicate with us promptly and was assuring throughout the time leading up to our wedding day. We attended a tasting which we enjoyed very much and further, we were also able to speak with Mayra who led catering and preparation the day of the wedding. Mayra was able to speak to us about her experience and even gave us ideas for our own wedding and appeased any doubts we had. Tawnya, Mayra and the entire Recreation Park 18 team were very understanding of our needs, patient with our questions, flexible with our requests, and above all truly understood our vision and helped us make it a reality. The day of our wedding, our personal wedding coordinator worked alongside Mayra and her team to execute our wishes and schedule. The catering staff in particular were so kind and professional. Separately, our wedding photos can show how beautiful the course, patio, and garden areas were and could not have asked for better collaboration to make this day possible. We are so grateful to the team and fully recommend the services and accommodation of Recreation Park 18.

    Golfed a solid round here. Course is excellent, amenities are top notch. Matt is a great starter.

  • 5/5 Matt H. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice long course with mature landscaping. Paid $46 for 18 and a cart.

  • 3/5 Eddie B. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the course itself and the pro shop staff is always awesome. Couldn't get the cafe on the line 3 different rounds before making the turn. And there is what I can only describe as a parking lot attendant (maybe a starter) who is flat out rude to people. I'll be back as I love the course but there's pros and cons to everything.

  • 2/5 Zenith D. 1 year ago on Google
    Crowded and worn out driving range. I suggest going elsewhere. Long Beach really needs to revamp the club house and driving range ASAP.

  • 4/5 Thomas D. 1 year ago on Google
    Good access to driving range. Met very nice Titleist rep Dana who played college golf ⛳️ 🏌️‍♂️ at UC Santa Cruz.

    Went here for my first time today around 5pm. The golf shop was closing but Ricky went out of his way to help me get some range balls. Great customer service! I will definitely be back.
