Angeles National Golf Club

Course was in good condition. Speed of play was fast given the time of day and the heat. Will definitely play again if given the chance.

Love this track...but more importantly Chris and other staff members are very accommodating and truly care about the patrons. Live playing here!

I love coming and playing here. the best practice facilities and staff in LA. Thank you for always listening to my needs and accommodating. See ya around.

The conditions were well below average. Greens were worse than putting on glue.

Fairways finally have some much needed turf. Greens were recently punched though we were still able to roll putts. I love the layout, and the ability to play all the shots. The recent fires have opened up the holes and cleaned out some of the brush so the course really has a desert feel to it now.

Nice weather, a well-kept grass driving range, the course itself was a bit too firm & dry for May (but overall in good shape), and the pace-of-play was terrific.

The only real noticeable downside... "last call" on the beverage/hospitality cart was much too early for those of us with an afternoon tee time.

Nice course , tough.. I made it harder than what it seem to be. I will definitely play there again.

Course was in decent shape and they're out there maintaining it best they can. Fairways were thin and this Midwesterner had some difficulty getting used to the constant tight lies. Has a decent practice facility. Proshop and bathrooms looked "tired." Greens were excellent course was playing hard and fast. The far too numerous traps can be hit or miss but from what I saw maintained. Ranger was filling divots on Par 3's. Overall had a pleasant experience except a two-some was "fit in" right in front us "due to overbooking" for our early morning Saturday round. Still made it around in 420 or so but we were waiting most of the day. 4 some behind us didn't keep up so I can safely say rounds later in the day were probably 5 hours. I've never been a fan of Nicklaus designs and still am not. There are so many tiers/quirks to the green sites you have to play Angeles National a few times.....you can be 10 feet on the wrong side of the hole and have a putt you have to hit so perfectly it's almost unfair. A few too many forced carries over sand traps and late back nine that starts to get really old. Course does have some interesting holes and I'll probably play it better if I go back there some day. Recommend it but for what you get it's a 60 or 70 value. Decent LA area public golf can be pretty hard to come by on weekends and normally you have 5 plus hour rounds. Angeles National is decent enough just expensive.

I want to love Angeles National for many reasons, and I’m sure there’s a version of it that would inspire golfers everywhere to pawn their most precious belongings to make this their regular track. That said, outside of a brilliant and challenging course design from one of the game’s greats, Mr. Nicklaus, the overall golfing experience leaves a player wanting for more, and wondering where your money went. I’ve played the course several times, and now I’m able to make an informed review about it. This experience is bare bones. There are little to no amenities at the course. You’re lucky to find a ball washer every 5 holes, and if you’re looking for the kind of usual perks that come with a course with a price tag like this, you’re looking in the wrong place. There is no one to greet you or take your bags to check you in, no one to clean your clubs at the end of the round, no coolers on the old carts, or usual swag like complimentary tees that come with a green fee at this tier... You can’t even drive your cart to the parking lot to unload. I’ve played the course during different seasons, and you never know what the conditions of the course or the pace of play will be. I thought I saw a Marshall once, but if there are Marshall’s here, they’re sleeping on the job. The tees and greens are usually well kept and very consistent, but the fairways have recently been punched and the course feels bald, making iron play and shot shaping a challenge. The bunkers are as hard as parking lots, and today was stuck behind a foursome that may have been one of the slowest groups I’ve ever been behind. On the last three holes we waited maybe 15 minutes in each fairway to take our approach shots, and even after a friendly yell to hurry things up, the group took their time shaking hands on 18, and went back for a selfie while we had been standing on the 18th fairway for over 10 minutes waiting to hit. Overall, this place may be worth a one-time visit to say you played the only Nicklaus course in Los Angeles county, but really you’d be better off playing 3 rounds at your local muni than paying a premium green fee for a less than premium experience. If you’re looking for a top tier golf experience that delivers, courses like Oak Creek in Irvine, Ojai Valley, or Pelican Hill will not disappoint. Otherwise, you may find more comfort in the often towel-less ball washers at every tee at your local muni, and the more predictable pace of play (even if it’s slow). In a world where Angeles National provides a more premium golf experience to match its premium golf fee (maybe under new management), I would definitely be more interested in returning more regularly. Until then, I’ll stick with my local munis, and when I want a premium experience I’ll head to Orange County or the Palm Springs area for a weekend.

if you like challenging golf, you wont be disappointed. we caught the course in bloom......even the desert was flowering.....great greens...hardpan fairways like Scotland . FUN
