Santa Anita Golf Course

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

The staff was friendly . Practice mats are ok. Definitely need newer range balls.

Tee boxes and greens are nice as most courses are this time of year. Considering were still in a drought the fairways are playable.

Really slow I think one or two ambassadors would really help solve the slow play.

The pace was slow but to be fair it was the day after Christmas so it was expected to be slow. However, this course allow too many groups of five so the slow pace was contributed by management. Always a trip to see 6-8 foot mounds in the middle of fairways. One of the few courses that can penalize you for hitting in the middle fairways. Greens were in good shape. Because this course has no course marshal, the group ahead of us drove up to the greens on every hole, even par 3s, completely ignoring the cart direction signs. May even have driven on the greens on a few holes. Very poor etiquette.

I'm an average golfer. Either it was a difficult course or I had one of those bad days. Greens are fast hard. Must plant your ball on the green or they will roll off. Super hilly. Hard to predict where and how your ball will lie. Over all must play this course again to get a better score.

I've played this course three times in the past 8 weeks. Overall, I've been playing this course for over 15 years. It was once my go-to course. Simply put, the conditions do not warrant playing here for any price, much less $45 on a Wednesday. There isn't a rough, it's dirt. The fairway landing areas are either bald or have impossibly tight lies. Greens and boxes are just ok. Way too many better courses within the same distance for $10+ less to consider golfing here.

Needs more water! Brown in some spots. Somehow front desk had trouble finding our reservation from Golf Now?

The greens were well kept, and the flags stratigically placed. However, the conditions of the fairways were well kept at all

They send people right after a tournament which makes the day to be around 6 hours. To me, this is not acceptable. Never coming back.

This review is purely for anyone looking to play on the weekend. Most public course play slow on Sat and Sun, but this course in particular is having some pace of play issues, likely because of the sheer volume of golfers. It took 3+ hours for the first 9, then when we got to the turn there were 12 people on the tee in front of us. Three of our foursome gave up and went home. Pace is fine during the week. Greens were nice.

All the courses was very dry was a very hard I do not recommend this course until they fix it

The course is very dry.It need to be watered bad. Terrible lies in the middle of the fairway. The greens were very slow and lots of ball marks.Not worth the money. Stater put out a twosome in front of us on number 10, Play was already slow. I won’t be back soon.

I made the tee time to start my vacation with 4 of my friends, great course, we'll definitely come back here again

I played this course many times 40 years ago when I grew up in the area. It has lost a lot of trees (but there's still plenty) and the bunkers aren't as deep as they used to be. The width of the fairways are generous and the greens are in very good shape Lots of uneven lies to challenge your shotmaking.. The new management is cutting out bad ares of grass all over the course where they're going to put in sod. It's a little unsightly but it doesn't really hinder play. Nice to see the effort instead of just trying to overwater dead grass. Pro shop is getting a remodel also. Overall a fun place to play.

The last time I had played this course was at least 15 years ago. When I played it last week I was pleased to see that the condition of the course was actually quite nice. No, this isn't Augusta, but it is an interesting layout with tree-lined fairways, and fairly small greens. There is plenty of grass in the medium-wide fairways, and the rough is not long, but it is thick. The greens are a bit long and bumpy, but for a relatively inexpensive public course, the overall conditions were above average. I will play this course again when I am in the area. I would like to give this course 3 1/2 stars, but they are getting the 4th star because of the friendly staff in the pro-shop and in the restaurant. The food was good too!
