Fairways and bunkes need attention

Fairways have really dried out since the closing in March. The bunkers need more sand - more likely to have dirt in them. The greens are in good condition but are slow. Still I like the variety of the layout.

Worst golf course in Los Angeles and the worst I ever played.

Well for starters the golf course condition is the worst condition I ever seen a golf course in the fair way is dirt and the greens are the slowest greens I ever played in my life that’s not a joke. You will not enjoy this golf course it sucks and not only that the staff there is 10000000000 times worst at first I figured it was only a few but man the manager was a nightmare, If you are playing golf and afraid from COVID-19 then please do your self and others a favor and do not go to this golf course they don’t care about the rules for COVID-19 they basically just unfollow everything they should do and it’s terrible and disgusting and shut be shutdown hopefully by the CDC.

Smith it sounds like you play garbage golf courses and your a idiot for giving 70$ at Santa Anita you sound like the manger you can ask 100 people and they’ll say the greens are garbage even when I got there I asked one of the staff members how are the greens rolling and shotu I think that’s how you say his name told me that the greens are super slow always have been. You sound like you work there and your upset

It sounds like you are bitter that you suck at golf. Greens are in good condition you must not be able to putt.

Don’t listen to this nonsense. Staff is friendly and course is in ok condition. Some burnt spots but fairways are fine.

Great Experience

The course is a lot of fun, even for a duffer like myself. Could be in a little better condition in some spots, but having been closed down with the COVID situation as they were, it's understandable. Still conditions overall are pretty darn good. The Staff is terrific in every way. Very friendly and accommodating. Interacting with them adds to the enjoyment of the Santa Anita experience.

Nice Sunday round

I had not played SAGC for several decades. It was nicce to come back. The course was still an enjoyable walking course and the greens, while consistent and somewhat slow, were in quite good shape and rolled true. Hat tip to the grounds crew. I'll be back.

Course was in good condition. I don’t typically like playing flat course, but would go back again. I was fortunate enough to get paired with two really nice guys.

Great course

Even with a lite rainshower the course played amazing and do to people being afraid of a little water, I had the course practically to myself! The course is always well kept and the greens were like always well manicured. Turned out to be a beautiful round.

Great pace. Patchy fairways

Always liked this course but not able to play it in recent years due to being out of town.

Finally got a time booked and had great weather.

Pace of play was excellent which is something we could thank COVID-19 for.

The greens were in good shape but a bit slow. No problem once you get a couple holes in. Unfortunately the downside was the fairways. I was able to hit more than half of them but a bit disappointed as they didn’t have a lot of bare spots.
