Santa Anita Golf Course

I was told by staff I have to pay for the cart fee. they said they told Golfnow several time to post it as walking rate, but golfnow does not follow that instruction. It is a false advertising by either Golfnow or the golf course. I want to be credited for the cart fees.

Love to play at this course, get to use lots of driver shot and really not to worry about losing ball lol.

They let people play 5 with 7 minutes in between tee times. Worst course management ever. Played there 3 times every time it’s back up at least 2 tee times. Never again

Many tees and sand traps were in poor shape (bare tees and traps needing sand). Some were in the process of being repaired.. Pace of play was right at 4 hours for a foursome. Greens were not very true. On a scale of 1 to 5 overall the grade was a two. Staff were very friendly and very helpful by being flexible with a late player on a busy day. Thank you.

Santa Anita has been overbooked and horrible pace for a long period of time. Didn’t play there for few months but same old. Guarantee a 15 mins late starts as usual and took 40 mins for first three holes. Guarantee at least two to three groups jam on those two par 3s on front nine. Condition is not bad in general so if you have a 5 plus hours to spare and not in a hurry sure. If you have only 4:30hrs, you will not finish the round

So sick of these city courses not monitoring pace of play. Took us 4 hours to get through 12 holes before the sun went down.

A decent fun little course. Not very long overall, but the par 3s are the more difficult holes here which I think was cool, anywhere from 150-230 yards from the tips. Not too much trouble, wide fairways not a bunch of trees- but enough to where you’ll be in them if you miss hit it. Greens are in good condition. Still need to hit good shots to go low. 5 hour round starting @ 10am. The fun thing about this course is you can let the big dog eat on a bunch of holes with very little consequence.

Loved the course. Moguls everywhere. Every fairway was lined with trees.

The pace of play was awful. There was a foursome of old fellows two groups ahead of us and they took an incredible amount of time on every green. By 15, there was no one ahead of them. No presence of a marshal. We had to skip around them to finish our round.

Pace of play was terrible. Some par 3's there were FOUR groups waiting. No Marshall to hurry up the slower groups. Plus first time ever a course has ever charged me for a no show fee. Course was decent condition and greens were good. But couldn't enjoy the course since I was waiting Majority of the time. Started at 1PM and had to finish the 18th hole in the dark. Ridiculous... wouldn't recommend coming here

We teed off around 10-ish. The start was a bit of a confused mess. A whole bunch of old timers had gone out within the prior hour, and then a couple 5-SOMES ahead of us, sprinkled with some 3s and 4s. Never did I imagine it would take 3 HOURS for the front, and then 2 AND A HALF HOURS for the back. We suffered. It was TORTURE. The Senior Hackers were out in numbers, and that’s fine. But the course has to help with the pace!!! It’s a MONDAY!!!! Not a weekend!!! If you don’t educate these people this horrendous pace behavior will continue to be a problem. You have got to tell people that after 10 stokes they have to pick up and move on, not continue to try to putt out!!!

I don’t know why we put up with it.

The course was fine. Tee boxes need work, but the place is putting in the effort to revive some of the fairways, and there was decent sand in the bunkers and they were raked.

Greens were a bit shaggy but we all know what kind of jagged grass is there. At least they were cut and mostly rolled OK.

Help us with the pace……

For the most part the fairways were pretty good. Had a few areas under repair but it was good. Round took 5 hrs which is typical. Tee boxes are in good condition.

I had a great time , shot an 84.

I'll be back for sure!
