Super slow

Had t-tee for 12:45, they told me to go whenever, so took off at 12:30 by myself. Backed from from #2 period. The same 2, w people group in front was constantly waiting before me every tee. Took 4 hours to go 14 then I quitted. Otherwise good looking course and layout. Will try and play at 7 am next time

Fair course

Quick 4 and 1/2 hour round at 9am Sunday Morning. Course in pretty good shape. Lots of brown patches especially around greens. Most elevated and tricky greens which makes this course more interesting than other city courses. No real hazards so bomb away each t box

Nice Track

Very playable course. Definitely some bare patches throughout the course. Greens in pretty good shape. It's gets loud from surrounding traffic but not much you can do about that. Overall solid for a good price

Never Belittle A Shot Down The Middle

The course was in good shape, both fairways and greens. The greens were slow and took a bit getting used to. The sand in the bunkers was excellant, smooth as silk. Also, I have to recomend the Breakfast Burrito in the grill room, muy excellente!

The place is a ghost town!

The place is a ghost town. The regular friendly pro-shop staff as well as the regular restaurant staff is no longer there and the pro-shop itself is empty of merchandize. The word is that the course is under new management that is trying to save the city money and they’ve cut down their staff including the greenkeepers staff from ten to only four and the course is in terrible shape. Also the day that we played which was on a Friday the restaurant was closed. Really sad to see this, since this was a great local course and was one of the gems of the San Gabriel Valley for decades.

New Management

I played in this course back in May and because of the great experience I chose to play again. The problem is that the management company lost the bid to continue in the business, they probably spent zero dollar to maintain. The course was ran down. Thanksfully new management will take over in September. Hope the course endures few more months if no maintenance...

Good Value

Typical LA "old school" course. Forgiving, wide fairways. Conditions are fair to good considering drought. Not the best, not the worst. Good value for $32. 4 hour round. I will repeat.

Not what it once was, but still worth the trip.

The water situation in California has taken it's toll on this course. Santa Anita was always a course with lush greens, fairways, and rough; unfortunately, due to the water restrictions there are a lot more brown spots and hardpans. The fairways are still decent, but I found myself bumping my ball in a few fairways to get off of dirt after hitting a good tee shot. The greens are very soft and receptive, but extremely slow. I don't know the stimp number, but they are about the slowest I've ever played on. Pace of play on weekends is generally 5+ hours, but the staff is friendly, the food is good and it's still an overall enjoyable experience. For the money, this is still a good value golf course. Not the most challenging, so it's a good track for high handicappers and older players.

Nice enjoyable round - will play again

My first time playing here and I really liked it.

The course doesn't have many hazards and fairways are pretty wide so it's a bit easier than many courses. It's very green and lush so in much better shape than others that are hard and burnt out due to drought conditions. Greens are noticeably soft and spongy... so very receptive, but a bit slow.

Pace of play was excellent - finished in less than 5 hours on a Saturday which was nice. Overall it was a great, enjoyable round.

Broke 80

The course is your typical California Muni, but for me it's become special. I broke 80 for the first time, and it was at this golf course. Enjoyed the layout where you have to play both a fade and draw off the tee in many holes.
