Angeles National Golf Club

There's nothing worse than feeling like a chump and if you don't feel like a chump after playing Angeles National, you have a much higher threshold for pain than I do.

My regular group ponied up the $170 because every other decent course in the area was booked, we really wanted to play and, well...we're chumps. To add to the chumpiness, I paid another $14 for a medium bucket of balls. That's right, $184 to play and warm up.

As has been pointed out in other reviews, there's almost no one working there. By our count, 2 people. The snack shack was open intermittently and there is no cart girl, despite it being in the mid-90's. My buddy has diabetes and had to stop playing for a while to avoid heat stroke. We also counted 16 signs before the first teebox telling us what NOT to do or what is not available (uh, putting green...). Welcome to Angeles, Chumps!

I do not know who owns Angeles these days, but it's obvious they are either a) milking the cow or, b) deliberately trying to run it into the ground (for what reason I don't know). It's a shame because Angeles is actually a good, challenging layout. Think about how nice it would be if they actually bothered to fill up the lakes.

Book another course early. Don't be a chump.

Course is not easy and you need to be able to hit some descent drives. But I always enjoy it.Be back soon Highly recommend

Half the tees were being worked on. Loud machines and lawn mowers constantly. Very slow groups in front of us.

Way over priced. Played on a Saturday - 97 degrees and no water on the course to drink and no refreshment cart on the course. Only good thing was the pace of play was fast because nobody wants to spend $170 to play at a course where they actually feel annoyed that you showed up to play.

I just love this course. Plays fair. The tee boxes are nice and flat. The greens are also good if not for some golfers who do not fix their divots. Overall, love the course.

Love this place. Friendly staff and great conditions. If you are not in your game, bring some extra balls.

I moved here (LA) from Seattle a few weeks ago and have been playing here since I arrived. I play here every weekend. Wish there were more membership opportunities. I'd join.

The pro-shop staff and maintenance staff are super friendly and it shows they care. Nicely done.

I think this is a fantastic course. I don’t know if there needs to be a Marshal or if golfers are capable of doing this themselves but on the front nine, we were behind a foursome with two cameramen. A still photographer and a videographer with a drone. It was for a private “club” that posts content on Instagram. They were delay swings for “cool shots.” This put us behind pace by 33 minutes. Absolutely obnoxious and shouldn’t be allowed on a course with green fees this high. Also, several golfers were playing bad music from speakers in their carts. We don’t want to to hear your bad music. Wear headphones if you need to listen to bad music when you’re golfing. Come on people, the course is hard enough!

I’ve been playing this course for 20 years and played 1000+ rounds there. I used to call it my home course, but aside from layout and greens, the course is no longer what it was. New management overcharges for conditions (browned out). Tees and greens are still amazing. If they somehow fixed fairways, the course conditions would be awesome.

BUT, the course is unplayable with pace. Management doesn’t have any course marshal or support pace of play at all, plan on 5+ hours. It’s not just support, the tee times are set 10-minutes apart, which means they KNOW pace is an issue, but all they care about is $. You’ll love the greens and tees, layout is great too, it plan on a miserable and slow round (I haven’t finished more than half my rounds there, as 5-hours is a miserable experience). It won’t change until they stagger the tee sheet, which needs to happen. Course could be great, but for now, it’s….Sad….

solid challenging course that is worth the drive to play. will play again when in the so cal area.

Played from the tips and it gave me a solid run for my money.

It is horrible when you go to the snack bar to get two sodas and the help was the worst can’t even give change for a twenty dollar. it seams like no one wants to help I’d know anything so not to sure if I will be back !!!!!

Played Angeles National for the 4-5 time today. It’s a difficult course with plenty of obstacles to overcome. The grass was green, and the sand was brown. It’s what you’d expect from a course of this caliber. Very well maintained.

Be aware — the greens were punched a little over a week ago and they are still playing rough and sandy.

My biggest disappointment with this course was the lack of amenities on the course. It’s a desert course and with weather in the 90 degree range, you’d hope to see a cart girl, or drink/snack stand somewhere , but no. To make matters worse, by 3pm, the pro shop and restaurant in the clubhouse were completely closed and locked.

Make sure you buy plenty of water before hand. It’s very very dry, and very hot. You’ll get no refreshments along the way.
