fun county course

ok i will start with the carts first they are OLD not to nitpick but these were really kinda raggedy. ok got that off my chest, the course was in great shape overall; the greens are usually in good shape here and they were again sunday. the fairways were in good shape no big bare spots the rough was decent always a good experience here they keep the course up very well no complaints about the course. now the pace; we finished in a little over 4 hours but it coulda been/shoulda been alot faster i dont understand why the first group of the day is a fivesome walking? we caught them at the third hole and waited every hole after that, if you wanna go for a walk find a park! or play fast!

No rounded holes

Normally this golf course plays well with its condition. However, recently the Greens Superintendent lost sight on what a round cut hole should look like on a green. It would appear the Greens Superintendent is forgetting to move the holes and is allowing grass to grow around the role and as a result reducing its size and shape. The marshals on this course are unheard of. And, if you happen to see one, they won’t tell anyone that their playing too slow. During their prime time, guarantee five hour round due to their lack of supervising. While Santa Anita refuses to offer deals during their off time, you can play Brookside Golf course for $13.00 after 3:30 and their listed in GolfNow for savings on any time, not Santa Anita.

Best of the LA County courses

A well maintained and groomed course, kept green because of local recycled water. Greens are in great shape, a little slow because of all the water they get. Par 3s are mostly long, but there are some drivable par 4s. Fairways are lush and undulating and mostly well groomed. The only flaw is that the red tees are a little long for most women. Santa Anita is one of 19 golf courses owned by the Los Angeles County Parks & Recreation Department and is arguably the best.
