Nice course. Good value

First time playing here.. very hilly course. Greens are on pseudo-domes and are not easy to handle.

Not the hardest but not easy either. Will play here again

Park style course - Terrible greens

Basic park style course like others around LA/OC

*Greens are probably the worst I’ve ever played on. They are mud with 1/32” thick “grass”. I was confused on how they could be that slow and bumpy.

Greens are a solid 2 on a scale of 1-10. Slow, bumpy, muddy, garbage.

Course is decent otherwise. Decent course for the price. Except the greens.

Needs TLC!

Very good old style design but it has just never been given the up-keep it deserves. Couldn’t get a tee in the ground on #2. Let’s get the aerator out please; just basic agronomic practices requested.

Trash in wrong placce

The tubs of sand to fill divots are filled with food & drink containers, banana peels and cigarette butts. Signs needed to direct trash to the appropriate containers.

Course conditions were not worth $60. No benefit to hitting it in the fairway, greens were not in good condition at all.

Good Morning & Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game, and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Santa Anita Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.

Fun course and a great deal.

First time playing at Santa Anita. The course was in great condition and pace of play was non stop.

I love the rolling hills and the course layout too.

I look forward to playing SA again.

One strange thing

When I booked, there was obviously the same price for walking or karting at $20.

The staff was friendly, but she said that the price was different even if I explained it.

When I tried to book again last evening, the site also showed the same price. It's hard to trust the site.

Anyway, thank you.

3rd round in 3 days

The tees were all the back so it stretched it out. I played with some long ball hitters and they loved it! Me not so much...The course was under some repair which is good to see. All in all it was a good time as always at Santa Anita.
