Angeles National Golf Club is the only Nicklaus Design course in Los Angeles County. It is tucked away in the Angeles National Forest. This championship course is known for being one of the area's most challenging with tough greens that are lightning fast and more than 50 strategically placed bunkers. There are also two lakes and a creek that come into play. Golfers should be prepared for long par 4s and demanding carries over ravines and barrancas. Not only is it a golf course that requires length, you'll also need accuracy. Angeles National Golf Club finishes with a par 4 that plays from an elevated tee alongside the rushing creek that edges the left of the fairway and to the right of the landing area there's a deep bunker. To the right, the green is bordered by deep grass hollows and bunkers and there is a lake to the left.

So fun and unique!

Super nice course! I was hesitant to play for a while as I saw some negative reviews but I had such a great experience. Pro staff was nice, food shack was solid, layout was extremely challenging but fun, course conditions were great, and every green is fun but quite hard. I can see average golfers or worse having a bad time on the course as it truly is challenging and that’s probably a reason for the long rounds on the weekend. Monday was 4.5 hours with no waiting, and for the Golfnow deal time it’s an absolute can’t miss. 190 on weekends might be a bit pricey but it’s a fun one forsure. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Slowest round of my life (and I play 50+ rounds a year)

We had a 12:24 tee time. With 5 groups waiting on the first tee, we started 40 minutes late. Never took a shot without waiting at least a few minutes. No starter, marshal or staff making any attempt to keep the course on schedule or speed play. We barely finished before it started getting dark (sunset was 7:10pm).

Beautiful Property But Thin Turf

Angeles National is in a beautiful mountainous area that is quite scenic. But turf conditions were very thin despite recent rains. That said, the course plays hard and fast and greens were in good condition. As a public course, the bunkers were rarely raked and full of footprints. Hate that.

Course Needs a Marshall

You would expect the pace of play to be enforced for the price of playing, But since they don't have a marshall, it gets backed up.

Booked a time to play with two others. Person running the pro shop had know idea what he was doing. Sent me out by myself. Told him I didn't want to play by myself. Basically said too bad. The round was pre-paid. No other choice but to get stuck behind other groups. Ended up skipping some holes to avoid waiting on foursomes.

Over rated

It is described online as having the tightest lies of any course around the Los Angeles area and that’s because there’s no grass. I don’t even know what that stuff is, but it’s not grass in my opinion. I am a scratch golfer, and have played all around the world so I have an educated opinion of golf courses in general. Also, the greens the way they are constructed with undulation and the speed of the greens doesn’t meet USGA rules as far as where you can cut the pins. Also, it took 5 1/2 hours to play on Saturday and no Marshall ever came on the course . There were high handicap players playing from the back and it took forever. Never going back. Thank you.

NOT WORTH THE MONEY

STAY AWAY! This course is not worth the money. The staff are surley, arrogant and unfriendly. The pro shop closed at 2:30pm; no one was there, and it was locked up tight. If your cart died on the course at 3:00 pm, you were you of luck. The condition of the golf course is mediocre at best. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend to anyone that they come play here.

Great track. Need to reopen bar/restaurant

Green fees on the high side. Facility has never re-opened after COVID shut down. Paid $30 for a Bloody Mary (well vodka) which was ridiculous! There doesn't seem to be much customer consideration in the running of the facility. Too bad. The potential is there.

Terrible Customer Service

The man working in the pro shop on the morning of Feb 28th was very rude and unfriendly. I asked about balls for the driving range and he said the maintenance would come by in 15 minutes. I asked what the charge was and he told me I was asking too many questions and he did not like questions.

The customer in the pro shop with me also commented on the man’s rudeness. After I left he also told the customer that I was an old man who asked too many questions. What is an employee for - if you cannot ask him anything.

This kind of employee behaviour does not belong in a golf pro shop (or anywhere for that matter).

I have been playing golf for 50 years and have never come across a pro shop employee who was so rude and unfriendly.

I think Angeles National Golf Course should seriously look into his behaviour.

Keeps getting worse and worse

I dont know what is going on there, but the conditions are steadily going downhill and yet they have raised their prices. Took over 3 hours to play the front 9 (back 9 that day) meanwhile there was hardly anybody out on the back. Nobody around to help move things along. Disappointed.

Disappointing conditions

I’ve played this course about 8 to 10 times now. I remember telling everybody about this course the first time I played it which was two years ago. Telling everybody about the fairways & greens and how manicured it was but ever since then it seems like this course is going downhill fast. Very disappointing because I still remember those first couple of days and have NEVER seen the same conditions since. I only play on the cheapest hot deals I can find. Not worth anything else

Don’t pay $175

Course layout was great and the aesthetics were also nice. Definitely some potential but most certainly not a premium price course with the conditions.

There is literally no grass on the fairways, aprons, around the greens or in the “rough”. I couldn’t believe they charged us $175 each to play a course with no grass.

This is a $50 course max. Please grow some grass!

my favorite stadium

The bunkers in the second half need to be replaced with real sand instead of the current stones. The current bunkers are full of stones and the clubs are broken! Everyone needs to clean up all the stones in the sandpit! This way the stadium business will be better!
