Not worth it

This course was in bad shape! Greens, tees, fairways all bad. It was a mud pit. Not worth $53!

Wonderful course for all skill levels

Course was in great shape. Wide fairways ideal for beginners but some long holes and numerous traps can challenge more advanced golfers.

Course is great for a public course

Santa Anita is challenging but not overwhelming for the average golfer. The personel are very helpful and the cost for a round is excellent. Course shape rivals a country club and the mountain backdrop is spectacular. Fun to play.

The only negative is that the restaurant/bar remain closed due to Covid although a snack stand us open for a good portion of the day. The driving range is adequate for warm ups and practice.

Winter Golf

Well, so much for the “lush” fairways of SA.

Wet , tight bare lies, low bounce wedges day.

Fairways were tight and cold and the tee boxes were rough. Greens were slow and bumpy. Too bad people can’t fix their divots. Like they’re so grateful they made it on the green they can’t just fix a divot. Burrito was awesome and the guys are cool. Pop was also very good today.
