Santa Anita Golf Course

It had been some time since playing this course and unfortunately the conditions were far from par. The greens were in decent condition but Can tell they get very minimal treatment. Huge divots all over and doesn’t look like they do anything to fix it. Very Ft conditions in fairways. Lots of dirt patches a lot of area without any grass at all.

This was my first time playing here, definitely a fun course , the hills are gnarly. But pretty wide open for drives and irons. Pitching and chipping off the hills was challenging. Definitely a fun time, recommended

Really nice course, nice layout and greatest conditions. First time playing. We’ll be back !!

We had booked a tee time on golf now for $37 with a cart included on Wednesday, June 8th at 2:43 pm for 3 players. When our group checked in, the gentlemen at the front desk did not honor the online price, and told is that the reservation had to have “cart included” with the mentioned price. He also told us that all online rates are walking only. The 3rd person in our group was forced to pay $52. I understand that there are mistakes/ glitches on the golfnow app from time to time, but that is not the customers fault.

Had a fair round but a few of the greens where in terrible condition with dirt exposed all around the cup. At the very least the cups should have been put in the small area the greens where in okay condition and plenty of dirt on certain fairways. Course is not particularly difficult but there is plenty of bends and trees. Easy to find yourself in punch out shots or totally blocked from the green. Overall no better then 3 stars. Hit some balls on the driving range, mats are very old and you need to hit it into one corner to get any long range distance, I want to say most of the driving range is about 170 yards long.

The course is great with beautiful views and a fair challenge. Absolutely horrible pace of play with zero concern for other players to not have a 5-6 hour round. Definitely play during the week, otherwise, for the money, skip this one.

Plus side: nice layout, interesting and challenging track. Flat tee boxes, rarity on public courses. Gorgeous setting. Greens in good shape, fairways too.

Minus side: sub-par driving range, bunkers are unplayable. Hard-pan. I took free drops after first two debacles. Too bad, the bunker locations are otherwise great.

My 1st time at Santa Anita. Pleasantly surprised! The course played well and had a great time with my foursome (players of varying skill).

Course is in good shape. The layout is deceivingly tough. Most greens are perched up on a hill. Approach shots are tough if you’re aim is off. The greens looked like they were in good condition but we’re incredibly slow. Overall great value. Would play again as always.

I know pace is slow on weekends which is why I usually play on Fridays. Knew I had some free time on Sunday so I booked at 11. Pace was slow starting just from the second hole and got worse and worse. It was so bad I left after 9 holes. Not a relaxing way to spend a Sunday afternoon golfing.

Players are no allowed to take the Carts out to the Parking Lot. NO BAG DROP. Players have to carry their Clubs from the Parking Lot which is full and a long distance from the Starter Location.
