Slow greens
The greens are extremely slow. The course could speed up the greens, because the practice green is a good speed.
Fun course to play with some slope to make it a little tough
This is my home course. I play it twice a week. My only complaint with the course is, that there are to many bald spots In the fairways and the sand traps need to be racked daily before play. other than that, the course is in great playing care.
Horrible greens compared to the past
I'm was shocked to witness the methodology of the new greenskeeper (as of Summer 2019) manage the large practice green next to the clubhouse. I've known many greenskeepers and their methods and can readily identify who really knows his stuff. When I asked the pro shop who this guy was and if he knows what he's doing they had high regard for him. REALLY?! Well fast forward to today (October 2019)... All the greens are messed up! I don't know what they pay this superintendent/greenskeeper but I'm so disappointed. Playing and practicing at Whittier Narrows and Brookside now.
Good County and Traditional Golf Course
This is my home course and I have enjoyed playing here for the last 20 years. If you play in the afternoon, the pace of play is around 4 hrs. or less. Morning rounds are slower. They have always done a good job maintaining the greens, fairways and bunkers given the lack of water sometimes and the hot summer weather. It's a fairly challenging golf course, traditional design and enjoyable. The staff have always been friendly. Good clean environment.
Good Course and Friendly Staff
This has been my home course for almost 20 years. They always do their best to keep the greens and fairways in very good condition despite the weather and the lack of water sometimes. The improvements made by the new management in the clubhouse, bar, driving range and course are excellent and I like playing here. It is a clean, friendly and wholesome environment. Good food at the restaurant, the bar is a great place to hang out after the round, friendly staff make a big difference.
I am saddened
Santa Anita is one of my all time favorite courses. One, because it is where I learned to play 40 years ago, and 2, because it makes you hit every club in the bag. Yesterday, I was pressed for time and I had the choice of playing at my home course in Palmdale, where it was very windy, or leaving early and playing at my old love. Based on the tee time sheet, it looked like I would be able to get around Santa Anita in 3 hours. So I chose to go there. I was so sad to see the condition of the course. The last time I saw it this bad was when the county still managed it. Bare spots in the fairways, the greens were punched 12 days before, but were still horrible and the slowest greens I have ever putted on. I am very sad and hope that management can figure it out. Until then, next time I will play my home course and leave later for my appointments in Arcadia area.

Greens recently “punched”
Not worth playing in current conditions. Try back in Oct when greens are back to being playable

played front 9 only
We were informed when we checked in that the course is renovating back 9 today, but we’ve prepaid for the Hot Deals for 18 holes and end up played 9 holes...
What a rip off!
Nobody mentioned anything when we booked at GolfNow, no warning, no nothing!

Extremely quick round
Finished our round in 4 hours , never was this fast at Santa Anita. Golf was in good condition
Out of Town Visitor
I only play when I am in town. I now live in Arizona, but grew up in Pasadena. As memory serves me, I'd say you were above average for a municipal course that gets a lot of play. Some bear spots, but that's to be expected, but by-in-large the course seemed to be in good shape.
Good bones but just not cared for
I used to play this course all the time growing up and loved it, the renovations that have been made to the clubhouse and around the course are fantastic and I wanted to give this course a higher grade but the conditions were just not great. I don't mind if the rough is a bit dry or bare but the fairways were very dry and missing large patches of grass, same for around the greens. This course just needs a little water at the right time and it could be a great muni for the price. Hope it gets better.

My Home Course
I love playing here. The Staff are knowledgeable and very friendly. It feels like home. The only complaint I have is that there are often 5 somes walking ahead of me and slowing down the pace of play. However, that complaint is outweighed by all the positives.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
Nice course!
This was my 2nd time plying here. It was very challenging, many slopes. My first time was 15+ plus years ago. I'm glad I came back here. I had a blast!
With GolfNow's deals, I would definitely come back.
good day to golf
Very few players on the course due to early morning sprinkles and forecast for more rain. It did not rain, the course dried out and we had a great time. Finished in about 4 hours. A round of golf here usually takes over 5 hours.
Usually fantastic, just a bad day
Played 5pm, and it was an absolute nightmare. Usually the course is wide open but for some reason it was backed up on every hole. Just a bad day. For a muni course it’s usually a good value and decent conditions
