Angeles National Golf Club is the only Nicklaus Design course in Los Angeles County. It is tucked away in the Angeles National Forest. This championship course is known for being one of the area's most challenging with tough greens that are lightning fast and more than 50 strategically placed bunkers. There are also two lakes and a creek that come into play. Golfers should be prepared for long par 4s and demanding carries over ravines and barrancas. Not only is it a golf course that requires length, you'll also need accuracy. Angeles National Golf Club finishes with a par 4 that plays from an elevated tee alongside the rushing creek that edges the left of the fairway and to the right of the landing area there's a deep bunker. To the right, the green is bordered by deep grass hollows and bunkers and there is a lake to the left.

For the cost…

I’ve been playing here on and off since it opened. The prices keep going up and while the grass itself is usually in good shape, they didn’t even try with the bunkers. They weren’t raked at all (which then leads to golfers not bothering) and on #4 there was literally no sand at the bottom. It was the plastic base or something. For the cost of the round, one of the most expensive rounds in LA, to have unmantained and unplayable bunkers is unacceptable. Any muni at 1/10th the cost has more maintained bunkers.

I’m willing to pay for a good course, usually in good shape and typically a faster round. But everything there is so much more expensive, having playable bunkers is not too much to ask.

Completely different

Than it used to be. 9 people on a tee box. Extremely slow play. Nobody on the course promoting pace. Almost got hit by a ball and nobody yelled fore. I have been playing there for six years and hadn’t been in awhile. It’s changed. It took two hours to make it to hole 7 - my friend and I left. I’ll never play there again.

Excellent course

I was hesitant to play after reading several negative reviews, but gave it a shot and so glad I came! Disclosure, my tee time was during a dodgers game, which may have helped the pace, but it was wide open on a Sunday afternoon. Beautiful conditions and everything well kept. Great mix of challenging holes and very gettable pars. Nice and scoreable, even for a relatively new golfer. Long courses and wide fairways are hard to come by in the LA area, but are plentiful here. My only negative was 2 groundskeepers pulling weeds too close to (almost directly in front of) the tee box on 16, and they found it acceptable not to move and just spectate my tee shot. Aside from that hole, I really enjoyed every aspect of the course and will absolutely be back!

Excellent greens

Excellent course conditions. Greens roll very true. Beautiful views. We started on number 10, but no starter to direct traffic so we were figuring out with other golfers who was up for which tee times. Otherwise, the first nine was great pace and slowed a bit in the second nine. Overall, we enjoyed the golf and would play again.

Not coming back

Good lord. 200+ on a wknd round for 18; there is no starter, no marshall. Sunday play was insanely slow. Really really behind. I played two sundays in a row. One sunday am, 7:20am tee time, and the range wasnt open when I was there at 6:45. Not acceptable. Round ended up being 5 hrs; madness. Played the next Sunday. Same thing. when we finished the front 9, the back 9 was backed up with two groups waiting at hole 10. So, we ended up just replaying holes 1 - 9 because it was empty. Terrible. Not coming back.

Great customer service and very nice golf course.

Check- in was great! The entire staff at this course was so friendly. After I finished my round I was asked by 3 of the staff “Did you have a great time on the course”

I was blown away! Greens were amazing and rolled true! No complaints at all. I highly recommend playing this gem! I will definitely be back to play this course again.

Pace of play was abysmal

After checking GN to see how open it was for a Sunday afternoon round, it showed almost every tee time available. Got to the course, checked in and the clubhouse said it was wide open. Boy was that wrong. I was solo and by the 3rd hole I was stuck behind a few groups. By hole 6, there were 3-4 groups waiting on the tee box with a group in the fairway and another on the green. Needless to say, it was an awful round. No marshal out to speed things up either. For $200 twilight rate, we have to do better about managing pace on one of LAs nicest courses.

Other than the painful pace, the course was great. Really tough! Difficult greens. Awkward distances off the tee and pretty unforgiving. I’d like to say I’d be back, but I’m hesitant after this experience.

Nice layout with tight lies

I love the Jack Nicklaus layout at the bottom on the Angeles Mountains in Sunland. Do I think it’s worthy of the $200 green fees, no but pace of play is worth it for sure. I truly do love course design but fairways are cut tight and usually provide roll out and the greens are also usually hard and fast.

No starter or beverage cart. Extremely slow round

2 hours through 5 holes. Our tee time was delayed and overall took 5.5 hrs to complete 18 holes.

Highly recommend having a starter on the tee box, adding water coolers, and a beverage cart. Course conditions were nice but play was so slow made it extremely hard to get any rhythm. Waiting 10+ minutes every tee box and fairway

Deserves better reviews

This course is a tough layout! It’s super challenging and a lot of fun. I wouldn’t recommend it for novice or low intermediate golfers though. I think on weekends it gets backed up because so many people lose their balls and just aren’t experienced enough. The round took me 4 hours and 50 minutes which is a longer wait for mid week but still worth it. Beautiful backdrop and stunning course maintenance. Will def be coming back. Course is in really good shape right now

Interesting course - will enjoy play it again

The course is unique , and challenging - not long but still demanding.

The greens were in great condition, I found it difficult to read , just made it more interesting.

The course has a lot of limitations including one hole that you can’t use driver or woods , probably due to neighbors complains.

In overall it was pleasant and worth the cost.
