Santa Anita Golf Course

I can't find right word to describe this.

I arrived at check in dest at 2:25 to check in for my tee time 2:42. A guy (his name is Davis) said "you can't go out until 3 PM because we had kid's tournment".

I said "oh my good, what's is going on??? this is not right".

He said, acutually yelled at me "what did I do???""

I was stunned and shocked.

My friend standing next to me was so upset (his name is terry) said to him "we did not mean that you did something wrong but you can't talk like that" He almost got into a fight with davis. And we said we wanted to talk to the maneger.

The guy working at check in dest (Davis again) said that "here is her business card you can call her"

We pick up the business card and tried to call the manager (her name is Loura I believe) but she didn't pick up the phone. Luckly She just stepped in the office with name badge so that I know that she was the maneger and could talk to her. And the guy (Davis) changed his attitude in front of manager.

This is not end of it...He said there was no reservation under my name at 2:42 from golf now. I had to show him the confrimation email on my phone.

We had to wait until all the kid's tournemnt team done and could go out arond 4 PM and played 9 holes...

I know the golf now is one of the best and reliable golf reservation site and I've been a customer for years.

Hoperly this will get to the managiment step and something like this will never happen again.

Sinscerely.

had a tee time for 10:30am but didn't tee off Until 10:45am do to 2 Groups of 4 In front of us hitting 2 balls but overall had a great time

Course caters to golfers who don’t exercise course etiquette nor understand ready golf. Walkers and riders side-by-side who have no clue about pace of the game. Fivesomes, just unacceptable especially when some are walking and others riding!

The course presents some great challenges on nearly all approach shots in the small, tightly shaped and well protected greens.

Nearly all greens were elevated which penalized inaccurate shots.

While not the longest course, this was a true test of your all round skills and certainly a course that I will visit again soon.

The greenest course I have seen in some time. Overall conditioning was pretty good. The greens were tough with a lot of break and relatively small. Don't expect to improve your GIR percentage. Otherwise, a very enjoyable day out.

I like the course but the pace us always slow. No marshals to police the course. A cart girl would make it more enjoyable.

Decent course for the price, Only complaint is that there was no Marshall to help with place of play.

I have played this course many times over the years, but probably won't ever play this course again. Our Sunday 11:08 AM tee time turned into 5 1/2 hours of waiting on every single shot. There were several times when we arrived on a tee box to find we were the second group waiting to hit. This translated into a round of playing the first hole 18 times. Not golf. And the worst part was that there was NOT a marshal on the course, and the guy in the pro shop told me that 5 1/2 hours "IS NORMAL" for a weekend! It won't be normal for me, 'cause I won't be playing this course again.

Good fairway condition through out the course considering drought season but, no mashall was found to push slow players at all.

I love the course and the staffs!

However last Sunday , they let 2 minors go out with out adult supervision to keep the pace and Golf etiquette be observed at round! Every one pays the green fee to enjoy a good Sunday Golf . They should learn little more about Golf etiquette first!!!

I’ve played here before when the pace of play was terrible (lots of fivesomes). Wasn’t horrible this time. Completed the round in 4.5 hours. Love playing Santa Anita due to being close to my home.... will

Course in very good condition. Still a few places on the fairways that need help. Over all, however, very good condition. Played the front 9 in about 2 hours. When we made the turn, we were amazed to find another group on the tee box. Seems the clerk inside had started this group on the back 9, since the front 9 was backed up. I’m told they do this all the time. Unfortunately, they do this without regard for any group making the turn. This slowed down our back 9 and to a less enjoyable experience. They really need a starter if they intend to start groups on the 10th Tee.

Pace was slow. Group in front of us fell two holes behind on back nine. No marshals to police the course
