Fantastic course for driver

Santa Anita golf course is a great course to play with a friend on an evening. The course offers many par 4’s and a few par 5’s, with the occasional 3 par hole. It is a great course to practice driver since the course fairways are wide and have many room to rip the ball. I would recommend to a friend and will be playing again soon.

Don’t Bother

They book way too many people and the pace of play is ridiculously slow. Never again.

Deja vu

I learned to play golf as a teenager 45 years ago on Santa Anita, so it holds a place in my heart. Great bones. I think hokes 12-18 are excellent. With better conditioning it could be stellar. I try to come back and play every couple of years.
