Santa Anita Golf Course

This was the first time I played this course. I was really impressed with the course conditions. The staff was amazing. Pace of play was outstanding. Overall it gets my second highest rating. I hardly ever rate this high. I'll definitely be back.

Santa Anita is one of the best kept public courses in the area with the foothills behind almost every shot. Pace is extremely slow, but as long as you're okay with that, it's well worth the cost.

The course is is good condition. Both the fairways and green are pretty nice. The downfall of this course is the very slow pace of play. I had a 5:30 am tee time. I thought I was the third group, but there was a 5 some in front of me. They were very very slow. Why do they allow 5 sines is beyond me. Our group had to wait on every shot because the 5 some were so slow. They should have waived us through knowing we were right on them every shot, but they had no course courtesy. This is a nice course, it’s just too bad 5 sones are allowed to slow up the play.

There was no enforcement or measurements taken to ensure efficient pace. I was waiting 10 minutes in between every single shot because of how slow players were playing. And that was partly due to the fact that the course scheduled multiple foursomes back to back to back with tee times 5 minutes apart! The amount of people per party should correlate with how much time is in between each group. It was very congested, and I was twiddling my thumbs waiting for most of the round. Not super worth it to me

Had a great round at Santa Anita. Course was in great shape and it was very pleasent.

Pace of play was horrendous. Groups of 5 forming up at par threes causing 25-30 min waits to tee off. Fairways and bunkers were in pretty good shape. Greens were trashed and beat up like nobody has fixed a pitch mark ever.

They charged me a spectator fee for my 6yr old who’s just watching his iPad. There’s no exceptions based on age, and it’s an additional 21usd. Bit ridiculous as they’re acting like a country club during a 11:20am tee time on a Monday.

Course was average and needs some additional upkeep. No number to call food ahead before you start the back 9. Pace of play was not great as we were waiting at each hole. Took us 3hrs to finish the front 9. Note it was a Monday at 11:20am.

Staff wasn’t the friendliest and they were doing field upkeep (mowers) while people were in the middle of their play.

Played 9 holes in 3.5 hours. Insane pace of play. Three / four group pile ups on tee boxes.
