Came here for a Thursday round with a noon tee time, and it was my very first time ever playing on a golf course. I was definitely nervous going in, but I ended up having such a great experience. It was surprisingly a bit crowded for a Thursday at noon, but it never felt overwhelming or too slow. As a beginner, I appreciated the overall atmosphere and felt comfortable learning as I went. Even though I didn't get as much practice in beforehand as I would've liked, it still turned out to be a really enjoyable first round. I rented a push cart for $5 and chose to walk instead of using a golf cart, which I actually loved. It was a great way to get some steps in, enjoy the weather, and really take in the course. Overall, such a positive first experience, and I'm definitely planning to come back for more practice. read more

This course is perfect for a beginner golfer. All of the holes were short par 3's, ranging from like 80-140 yards. Came here to work on the short game, but it rained the day before, so I had to tee up the shots on every hole, as it was hard to find grass on each tee box, which mostly consisted of mud or dirt. The starter was rude, and not professional at all. He was pushing us to go, probably because they were already 10+ min behind schedule. My buddy ran to the car to get his glasses, and he made him skip the first tee box, to keep pace of play, yet at the second hole, it was already backed up. Wasn't a fan of that at all. After the initial backup, it started to move better. Greens were nice, and the pace was decent overall. We Finished 18 holes in just about 3 hours. They had bathrooms along the course, which is a plus too! For food I tried the breakfast burrito, and it was delicious. I would certainly come back for another round here, aside from the starter, it was good times!! read more

Heartwell Golf Course - Hole 9!! - Golf Near Me - Long Beach, California

Charged for my grandson who had set of clubs and played the course with me the following: charged as a guest $12 charged a spectator cart fee: $6.50 Only found this out after playing nine holes I plan to contest these charges but in meantime I want to warn others to be on look out for hidden fees. Also there was a single player ahead of us that held us up significantly - He should have played with us. Always loved bring my grandson to Hearthwell but this past experience turn me off. read more

Bought clubs for my 2 year old and drove down to be turned away because the minimum age is five. It doesn't say this anywhere on the website. My wife took him home and I stayed with our friends. My cart died on the back 9 and they wouldn't answer the phone to send another cart. Had to walk the rest. Course isn't in good shape but you get what you pay for. read more

The type of course you play when other courses tee times are full. Tee boxes are uneven and a divot minefield. Overpriced for what you are really getting. Always backed up because they try to oversell the tee times. Charge you anyways if your fourth can't make it to the tee time. Greedy management that puts no time or money back into the course care. Can't really take this course serious in anyway. Decent place if you are a beginner that's about it. read more

Really fun and decently maintained. Recently redone tee boxes. Well priced for what you get. It does get backed up a bit, and also some holes with people hitting into to you from the adjacent holes. Driving range experience is what I'm giving a lower rating for. It's 20$ for 100 balls. Have to wait to get a spot ~20 minutes (on a Tuesday night), lots of flying ants. Guy driving the golf ball retriever blasting dust at everyone more than once. read more

Tee time was 1:30, finished the front 9 at 4:00. Ridiculous. Two group backups on every hole. Our foursome quit after 9 Didn't have 5 hours for this par 3 course. Two groups ahead of us was a foursome with a girlfriend (5) They only had 3 clubs they were sharing and a box of golf balls. They let them out to play. Definitely need to space out the teetimes and maybe get a Marshall. I know that sounds funny. Absolutely horrible. First time I quit after 9 in 35 years. Would not recommend playing on the weekends unless you have 4 to 5 hours. 4 if you're lucky read more

It's a fun par-3 golf course, though a bit crowded at times. The price for a bucket of balls are reasonable. The older lady in the pro shop can be challenging to deal with, but overall, it's a good course. Improvements are being made to the fairways, and the driving range is decent as well. read more

Overall I had a nice experience at Heartwell golf course. I was there for the driving range and it was my first time visiting. Looked like a very well kept course. read more

Went to practice range and they closed early because they were worried about rain coming via forecast.

Heartwell is a sweet short course my husband has always enjoyed playing when we visit Long Beach. The staff are friendly and the grounds are quite lovely. This time I went with him to be sure he was OK since he was recovering from a head cold. Sure enough, by the time we had walked to the 8th tee he was having a hard time maintaining his balance. He collapsed onto a bench while I went to the Pro shop to get a cart to bring him off the course. Isaiah, who is part of management was amazing. He drove the cart to get my husband, loaded him and the golf bag, carried him back to the clubhouse and called a cab for us. Isaiah made sure everything was OK with us right up to the point when we left, going the extra mile by carrying my husband in the cart to the cab out front. We were so impressed with the care he gave us. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Heartwell to anyone wanting a good experience golfing. Thank you Isaiah. read more

Play here weekly as part of the Sunday golf club. Fun course perfect to get out before Sunday football or super early on a Sunday. Kim in the pro shop is great! Tee box sometimes get torn up quickly which leaves a lot of dirt patches Greens well taken care of. Lights sometimes out on some holes and takes American golf quite a long time to fix or replace them read more

Heartwell Golf Course - Heartwell Golf Course - Golf Near Me - Long Beach, California

This is a great 3-par course. Not extremely challenging, but it has its holes that can be tough if you're a little off! Play the tenth short. Don't want to hit into traffic! I got to experience this course for the first time last week on a date with a woman who just started golfing this year. So, it was fun for the date, and it was a great way to show each other who we really are in challenging situations. I would recommend this 10 out of 10 times. Anyway, it also has a nice restaurant with many different choices of food, as well as nice chipping and putting greens. The only downfall to this course is the driving range. Really need to upgrade the distance markers so it is easier to gauge your distances, if that is what you are working on practicing. But other than that, a great place to spend a couple hours with friends family or even a date. A well manicured course!! read more

This has always been my favorite small Golf Course --friendly, well run,and comfortable for people who aren't that great or just love to practice shorter holes, but recently they're short staffed, ball machine for the driving range isn't working properly. They are planning too many activities in one day and having to squeeze everybody together on the tee times. Course bathrooms are messy and the one I used had pee on the floor. I'm sure it is a bureaucratic problem in Long Beach that makes it a low priority,but all of us who love the Golf Course miss the smooth easy fun of it. The greens are fine. The fairways are great so maintenance of that is good, but the tires are flat on the golf carts and it's just little stuff like that. It's just not up to PAR! LB has been known for their good courses, so fix it! read more

It is unfortunate I feel compelled to do this but I hope in doing so I put the rest of the public on notice of unequal and discriminatory treatment by an employee here. I am unaware of her name but she is the elder Caucasian woman who checks players in. I've had several unpleasant interactions with her that I brushed off and attributed to her personality just being unpleasant. Today was more than just an unpleasant interaction. My group of 4 checked in at 1:09 for our 1:08 T time reservation. For context, I am a Black man and my other three mates were people of color. This employee told me because I checked in at 1:09 she would not let us T off. When I asked why, she responded because we did not check in 15 minutes before our T time and that the course was backed up. I went outside and asked players waiting how long they'd been waiting and they said about half an hour. Thus, I don't see why the course being backed up weighed in favor of refusing us on the course. Had we checked in 15 minutes prior to our T Time, we simply would have just been waiting in line with everyone else. Moreover, we were not walk ons. Our space was reserved as are most so the course is aware of how many people to expect. The next issue is more concerning. After discussing with the group the situation, I went back inside to see if there was anyway we could get in line with the players already waiting. At this time it's 1:14pm. While I'm waiting to speak to the employee, she is checking in a group without issue. After we were refused the opportunity to get in line for our reservation, I asked this group what time their T time was scheduled for. Their response - 1:16pm. What does this mean? This group also failed to check in 15 minutes before their T time but were allowed to join the wait while my group was refused the opportunity to join the wait despite checking in before this group. These four individuals were all Caucasian. I don't know why this employee refused me and my group the opportunity to play but let this group who checked in after us and also late for their T time play. If the employee felt justified in refusing us the opportunity to play, then the next group should have been denied their T time as well. I really HATE to make this about race. But what other reason did this employee have for treating two groups who both checked in outside the 15 minute window differently? It's disheartening to have to sit with thoughts of why this employee treated us this way. I am a lifelong resident of Long Beach. I graduated from LB State and own a home in the city. I also am a public servant. I've been a Players Club member for over two years. It is a pity that there are people like this employee who work for the public and treat people in a disparate manner. Maybe her attitude and the way she treated us would be more acceptable on a private course. This was definitely not anything I felt would happen at a public course like Heartwell in Long Beach read more

The course layout is nice and easy to flow through. Took our group of 3 around 2 and half hours to play through walking. Greens are well kept but there was some maintenance on the tee boxes causing a majority to be pushed closer to their respected holes. Overall definitely worth the value and sits as one of the nicer Par 3 courses in the area. read more

There was a rude asian worker with a stubble beard and a camo hoodie that works in the clubhouse. I had a simple question and he gave off the worst attitude ever. He made it a difficult time just for simple question. I had to ask some folks in the parking lot for answers to my question and they also added that the employees here can be a-holes at times. Not a great first impression for a newcomer myself. read more

Got no problem with the range being down so much but at least try to keep the phone message when you call to check status up to date.

I haven't played the course since it's a par 3 and I generally just play full courses but I have been to the practice range many times. The range gets busy. It's a decent range though with clear markers and a high net, etc. The range balls are typical hard as rocks. The mats are fairly worn down. But they do have a grass range on certain days of the week. The putting green and chipping approach area are nice. The chipping area is a little small though. The pro shop is fine and the few times I go inside they have been friendly. read more

Decent course . New player friendly . The check in lady is very hard to work with though . Always moody and not very pleasant .

Lady at the front desk was unnecessarily rude...I arrived 7 min before my tee time and my group was walking up from the parking lot...she gave me so much lip about being 15 min early to a tee time and come to find out our tee time was backed up 20 min because they over book tee times...starting to think she is just racist...it's the older lady if you visit all the other workers were very kind at all times but she isn't ever read more

I don't golf but if that dust cloud from the driving range doesn't stop.....the dust blows across Carson st onto the Lakewood side. All you have to do is wet down the driving range for one minute and your utility vehicle wot kick up dust. read more

This is by far my favorite place to play in Long Beach. The course is so well kept and the staff are amazing and so kind and helpful. The manager Eric and assistant manager Isiah are great. Kim, the lady that is there mostly on the weekends is my favorite. She is so helpful and nice and makes every experience at Heartwell amazing. This place is great and I'll be coming back as long as I live in Long Beach. Thank you Eric, Isiah, Kim and the rest of the great staff. read more

Great course and diving range. Near the 605 freeway I'm definitely not a avid golfer but went with my family for a party of 3. We had a 3pm tee time on a Sunday that we booked in advance with 2 golf carts. Came out to about $30 per person. Course was very easy for beginners. All par 3 holes and the course seemed very well kept. 18 holes took us about 3 hours. They also have rollers available as well. Staff and facility does abide by covid regulations. Masks required in common areas and only cart sharing if same household. Will definitely come back here to work on my game. read more

Good value to practice a variety of par 3's. They are pretty narrow with lots of trees so if you don't hit straight, it'll cost you! There's a nice putting green and a range to warm up. read more

Place is pretty bad range sucks the ball machine is never open basket need to be bigger and tee boxes are never on the actual tee box lights barely work at night greens have about 1000 divots in them read more

Played 18 holes today. The greens were pretty fast today. I love how shady this course is which keeps it reactively cool. No waiting today and Nono e in our tail. Don't was a nice relaxing day of golf. The course was a bit muddy and wet but other than that it was in pretty good shape. read more

Heartwell Golf Course - My little friend - Golf Near Me - Long Beach, California

I play here often - great par 3 course - On weekends it can be backed up a bit because the majority of people are walking and there may be some new people out there working on their game. I have read some negative comments on "the older lady" in the pro shop - I don't understand them - She has always been pleasant when interacting with me - she even remembered my name even though I had not golfed there for several years and even remember my friend who used to golf with me. I have never had a negative experience with her. People have to remember she is just following rules - so if you arrive late for your tee time - or if you show up way early and want to check in - if she says NO to you - remember - she is an employee - she does not set the rules. And I have to say a great word about Richard - the starter on 1st tee - He gave me a tip today that helped me shave many strokes off my game - and he always has a smile on his face. read more

Such a sad course, it used to be good. I can confirm this place is the first money grab scam golf course. You pay full price but they know dam well there is no way you can even do 18 unless you start at 6 am there are 2-3 groups in front of you at each hole. If u start at noon you can MAYBE get 9 holes. Avoid if u can..... I started hole one at 1:15 and then 2nd hole at 2:15 so hour wait for a par 3 read more

Horrible. We have a tee time at 1pm 1st hole has a line of 5 people. The starter Richard is so rude and so horrible at his job. Please do note come here! read more

Really enjoyed playing here for the first time. It's always a good time on Par 3 courses. Less stressful compared to long courses. It was a little busy went on a Sunday morning. Should take 2.5 hrs average but this time course it ballon to 3.5 hrs. Thank god I brought beers with me lol. All the holes are fun. Definitely can get lots of pars here and hopefully a birdie or 2. First time here shot +14. Grass was nice. Greens were soft and didn't run fast(8am tee time) after the round bought my usual breakfast burrito and it was yummy. Looking forward to coming here again in the future. Reminded me of Alondra/Van Nuys golf course. read more

This is the famous golf course where Tiger Woods learn how to play golf, I hope something here can bring me luck too. My son turn me on to this course, he has been playing golf a lot longer then me so I'm learning some thing from him. When we arrival around 9ish the sun was already blazing but was not crowded that was cool, the parking lot is pretty large. The staff was very helpful and as she assist us in getting a cart and balls, a bucket of balls will run you about $12.00,the shop inside is really clean plus neat, there also is a restaurant on the with a patio. This is a 18 hole par 3 course, we play a short course, there is a lots of trees and shaded areas,slopes here as well, a few water areas with pretty green grass. I like it and will return soon. read more

This is not fare about range ball!! Not refund. Do not go !! Wasting time Never go bye bye

Would give a 5 star but went this week and was charged full price for 9 holes. In the past was charged a lower rate for 9 holes. Just not fair when some people only want to play 9 holes read more

We went there to practice and noticed the driving range was almost packed around 12. Wow!!! Lots of people are there.... The large bucket is $12. We didn't like the club house. But they have a great deal for the fees, a large bucket, and a cart. The monthly member fee is 41.99 to pay cheaper for tee fees and use 5 locations in Long Beach. Real Deal!!! Well, not too bad for non resident only for $41.99 a month. read more

Overbooked, 2 and 3 foursomes backed up at each hole. Not enough electric golf carts. Tee boxes are bare, uneven. Fairway and around some greens are muddy. The course bathrooms are locked and if you get within 5 feet, you can smell feces. It's been 10 years since the water fountain seen water! A beautiful shade tree stands east of the clubhouse, and it's used to store the mats from the driving range. I lived for 25 years right across the street on Conquesta. Us kids played golf there and it was a great course. Now sadly to say, "It's a Dump with a nice cover fromthe street." The restaurant was the only decent experience we had! Never Again read more

It's been a very long time since I've seen this course. From my experience the putting was the toughest for me as the lines are a bit more challenging than other courses. Also love that this is a 18 hole vs others that's around the way being 9 holes. Pretty speedy for Saturday where golfers have pace also which is always a plus. read more

This course needs a lot of work from the fairways to the greens. Lots of divots on the greens players clearly don't repair them as they're playing. There were a lot of divots on every green not to mention the tee boxes were horrible. read more

Heartwell Golf Course is my favorite course for so many reasons. One, they have a bomb chicken fried steak breakfast with all the fixings for a damn good price. Second, this was my first 18 hole course I ever played and third, I hit my first birdie at this course! I don't even care if I sound corny, this place will always hold a special place in my heart. It's a 3 par course with two water areas you have to hit over. Not a hard course, but great for if you want to stop by after work and clear your head and work on your swing. read more
