Not as nice as before

The course conditions used to be a lot better. It was a nice course when they kept the greens in perfect condition. I don't know if the greens were affected by fungus or just poor groundskeeping. The greens were blotchy with dark dirt spots causing the balls to jump offline.

Hard but fun to play

This was my first time at Santa Anita Golf Course, and I wasn’t aware of the elevation changes (up and down hills) on the course. I wish I had known beforehand, as I wouldn’t have played with a hand cart. However, overall, it was a challenging and fun course to play.

Sharing carts.

Soi arrived early on check in I was a solo player. But was being forced to walk or share a cart. I wouldn't mind sharing a cart but they were still charging me a full cart fee while I had to share.

So make sure u are ready to share your cart because no solo riders according to there policy.

But course over all is decent. Will come back but with a partner at least
