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.

Great GM Hot Deal

Course seems to be improving after a period of less than stellar condition. Always a great challenge and really wish they would renovate the pathways for walkers (given my only two real complaints are the rack rate cost and pace of play).

Still, it’s worthwhile and enjoyable!

Excellent course

I couldn’t believe the GolfNow price I got, so naturally I was thinking maybe the greens would be punched and sanded or something weird like that. To my surprise the conditions were great! We unfortunately got stuck behind a twosome who clearly had no rift playing this course, they should probably spend a year or so on the range or executive courses before tackling a full length championship course. So the pace of play wasn’t the best.

Very nice Desert style course

We played this course when it was just opened. It has matured a lot in those 20 or so years. More vegetation. The setup is more isolated from neighboring holes.

It is quite wide mostly, so losing balls shouldn’t be a problem.

The negative would be you can’t bring a cart to your vehicle. No consierge either. I have to lug mine and my wife’s bag. Wears me out before I hit one ball.

Apparently we can get there by freeway, but we might wreck in the parking lot. 🤔

Got to play a premium course

Course was well kept, good tee boxes, fairways good, rough was a bit long but playable, green complexes are huge and challenging.

Well maintained course, fast greens. Alot of amenities are under construction but all else was great. Not worth the high price point but hot deals and coupons!

The course was in very good condition but you need to be a fairly good golfer to enjoy the course or you will need a lot of balls.

Poor pace of play

Course is in good shape with nice fairways (although quite firm) and perfect greens. What ruined it for me was even teeing off at 7:50 AM, we could not get around in under 5 hours. No marshall showed up even as the group in front of us was 2-3 holes behind. The cart GPS is complaining to us about our pace and yet it's all caused by one group of beginners. Weekend golfers who have no clue about how to play golf nor how to keep up with the group in front. Paying over $200 for a round where you can never get into a rhythm is a total waste.

STAY AWAY.

Please don’t play this course. Please stay away. Quit giving these people your hard earned money. For the price they charge, it should be in perfect condition with tip top service. It isn’t. They are stealing money from people for the way it is.

Used to play here when it first opened, and like many places at such prices it was good. But not any more. The owners of this place no longer care. In fact, I think they never did.

The range is crooked now in half, and they have not found a solution. I guess they are not allowed to build a large fence along the houses to block errant shots because then that would block the houses’s views. Ridiculous.

The clubhouse is already rundown, and it’s only been 20 years. It was never a good clubhouse anyway, small shop thing downstairs where you pay, with a decent restaurant and bar upstairs - but the location of the course was always going to be an issue, in this poorer neighborhood. And because the place doesn’t want to attract the poorer clientele, they have the high prices. Seriously, that’s the only reason. They certainly don’t put it back into the course. Course is trashed as ever. It always had thin fairways, that is the design, but it used to be better. Who cares if the greens are ok, there are courses that do the same elsewhere. Again, the price!!!! Unbelievable.

I got a discount so I can’t complain about it but I would never pay the full price listed. No way.

No marshal, no starter, snack shop closed early. What is going with this place? Are they planning to close it?

The only reason why people keep going there is the Nicklaus design label. That’s how they sucker people. Truth is, Jack didn’t design it, it was his kid. It has the Nicklaus signatures but again, for the price, the conditions should be 10 times better than at the local munis. Heck, the local munis are in better shape than this now.

Why would you waste your money here. Stay away. Let tbem close down.

Good course

Condition is still good even if it was flood damaged in last weeks. Fairway, bunkers and greens are in good shape. It was more challenging by some blue tees moved to black tee.
