Santa Anita Golf Course

Sunday early afternoon, multiple golfers driving onto the tee boxes, and/or directly next to the greens, not fixing divots or ball marks.. Greens are in good shape, although many had multiple unfixed ball marks. Dirt hard bunkers. Some fairways were nicer than others. It appears they allow fivesomes, at least they did on Sunday.

$62 w/ a cart, 5 hours on the nose.

It’s a nice challenging layout, if only it was in better shape. The pro shop staff are super friendly and helpful, ditto for the restaurant staff.

I’ve never played Santa Anita before and found a tee time for a Saturday afternoon as a single. The threesome I was supposed to be paired with never showed for the tee time. Several Foursomes we’re scheduled so I couldn’t get on. The staff at the pro shop went out of their way to try to get me on but it just wasn’t working out. They even asked several groups of they minded adding a fifth. They all said

“ no thank you “… which was disappointing but understandable-perfectly ok. Eventually, they sent me out as a single. I literally had the first five holes to myself. Completely unheard of. The starter even came out at hole 5 and asked how I was doing?

( he was marshaling I think ). I played the front nine all by myself. At Santa Anita. In a Saturday afternoon. At hole 10 I was joined by another single and we breezed thru the back 9. This review is specifically to thank all of the staff for going above and beyond to take care of things that weren’t even their fault.

High golf this course about five years ago. It’s the same now as it was then. Good condition and a very excellent staff at the club. Looking forward to go off in there again.

Slow pace due to multiple twosomes send out that were following a foursome.

My tee time was 1:05pm on 06/19/22

But I was waiting for 30 minutes

Because cart shortage

They said wait and wait only

I had an appointment with my family after golfing

Their attitude was terrible

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.
