A bit weathered, but still an L.A. classic

Santa Anita is unique among L.A. courses for its topography. Full of bumps, swales, and elevated greens with severe drop offs, it resembles Scotland more than SoCal. Except for the weather. On the plus side, a lot more sunny days to play; on the negative side of the ledger, by the dog days of August, the course has taken a beating. Lots of dry patches where the grass has worn away, bedraggled tee boxes, traps in need of a sand infusion and either bone dry and compacted or muddy from sprinkler runoff. Still, the layout is challenging, the greens are in pretty good shape, and pars feel like a real accomplishment. Well worth the price.

If you need to rent clubs go elsewhere

$30 to rent B$ clubs on top of the $50 to play.. as much money as this course brings one would think they could afford DECENT full sets not a walmart set..

Slowest round , 6 hour round

Wow where do I even start.

Whoever manages booking here is a bimbo,

Letting a group of 4s on every 5 minutes and it’s a bunch of old people walking.

hole 3 had 4 groups of 4 players on 1 hole???

How in the world does that makes sense, we spent 20 minutes waiting and playing each hole I called in for a Marshall but none in sight.

Place is poorly managed

Slowest round of my life

Never coming back

Slow play

Played here numerous times over the years, I like the layout of the course. It took 5.5 hours to play 18 holes on a Wednesday morning, greens were dry/slow, grass on fairways and tee boxes were suspect.

Great Place to Play

Great pace of play and decently manicured fairways with excellent greens. A wonderful spot for a twilight round.

Over crowded

All the course wants to do is put as many groups out as quick as possible. 7 minutes between tee times. That end up you have to wait on every hole is about 7 minutes before you can tee off. You can imagine on par 3 hole. It's multiple groups are cramping up behind to tee up. average wait time is about 15 minutes. Do I want to play this course again or recommend a friend. I am sure you got my answer. NO. NO. NO!
