Hard but fun to play

This was my first time at Santa Anita Golf Course, and I wasn’t aware of the elevation changes (up and down hills) on the course. I wish I had known beforehand, as I wouldn’t have played with a hand cart. However, overall, it was a challenging and fun course to play.

Sharing carts.

Soi arrived early on check in I was a solo player. But was being forced to walk or share a cart. I wouldn't mind sharing a cart but they were still charging me a full cart fee while I had to share.

So make sure u are ready to share your cart because no solo riders according to there policy.

But course over all is decent. Will come back but with a partner at least

Some how I was notified I did not play yesterday and golfnow was going to charge me again for my tee time. I think the rules in Southern California are the worst and bad for golf.

You will have to share a cart with a stranger

I’ve played twice. Both times as a threesome. First time was on a Saturday afternoon. Got two carts to split.

Second time on a Friday afternoon, they “don’t have the carts” to give to a single rider. Don’t give this course a dime until management gets that straightened out. Ridiculous

Good layout, horrible pace of play on a Friday afternoon

Played a threesome with some friends on a recent Friday afternoon and we were held up at every tee box by 1-3 groups ahead of us — a twosome, a threesome, a fivesome. There was no Marshall or anyone at the pro shop encouraging faster pace and the group sizing made no sense. Really frustrating experience overall, and we weren’t able to finish 18 because we were in full darkness by hole 16, despite our tee time being 4 hours before sunset. The course itself pretty well maintained and the layout is fun, though it is being surrounded by a busy 4 lane road on all sides. I won’t be back here unfortunately.
