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.

Nice Course, but Difficult & Pricey

This is a nice course. I think the nicest public in actual LA. However, it’s expensive, especially on weekends. And it’s in Sunland, which as the name suggests, can get very hot. It’s also a very difficult course. Like seriously difficult. If you’re not in the fairway, you’re not finding your ball. A lot of tee shots are from islands and need to cover a stretch of native shrubs and such in order to reach the fairway. Several greens are behind moats of waste areas consisting of rocks and wild plants. One par 5 is a minefield of fairway bunkers placed everywhere. I think the people posting negative reviews are likely upset that they paid a lot money only to play very poorly since it’s a tough track. I must have lost 7 or 8 balls playing here. The golf cart also puts up a warning on its screen threatening to get a marshal if you’re more than 5 minutes over pace. It’s a bit ridiculous yes. But hey they also give you a bunch of free tees and water bottles. Overall, I had a good time though. The last hole has water and a fountain with a great view of the hills that’s nice for a photo.

Happily surprised

There have been many negative reviews of Angeles National Golf Course. I believe there has been an intentional effort to improve the golf course.. The check in staff was a delightful young lady. The assistant managing the golf carts was courteous and friendly. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in good condition. I would recommend this course for anyone looking for a classic desert course.

What happen to this place?.

I played here a couple years back.

During the pandemic. It was my first time playing the course over a $100 AND IT WAS WELL WORTH IT!!! I'm not sure what happened since then, but I wouldn't pay anything over $70 now. It's sad to see this course going down the drain.

Not bad for what it is

Pretty unique layout for the location and greens were rolling nice. Pace of play was about 4:45 with a slow group ahead of us. Overall would recommend this place on a weekday as it’s a little cheaper. We paid the weekend rate and probably wouldn’t do it again.

Play elsewhere - too expensive for what it is.

Go play elsewhere.

Played on recommendation from a friend who played here a few years back(good golfer).

He was shocked to hear my feedback. Guess this place has fallen off badly - staff was perfect representation

Course was mediocre at best for $170. Would not want to play here during summer.

The staff was confrontational when asked about the range balls including in the booking… we were told to prove it(it’s on their website as an fyi).

Angeles National

Very convenient to Hollywood downtown only about 20 to 30 minutes. Definitely a California desert course greens were really good shape, fairways were good but a little dry and hard. Very challenging as they suck up blind shots off the tea and the greens. Would’ve been nice to have a starter or a beverage cart.

Good course

Angeles National is a good course that could be better. The layout is fun. Some areas are a bit confusing, but nothing bad.

My biggest gripe is the fairways. Most of them are yellowing and many areas around the green are very tight due to a lack of healthy grass. Most bunkers were fine, although a few fairway bunkers were a little rocky and played as “Ground Under Repair”.

The best aspect of this course is that it is close to Los Angeles. Ojai Valley Inn and Oak Quarry are much better courses and usually cheaper to play, but they are about twice as far from LA.

Overall, ANGC is worth playing for about $100 on the weekdays, but $165 for a round is definitely not worth the money.

not worth the price

this course's regular price of $160 for a friday-sun rate is not worth it. fairways had dead spots, sandtraps filled with rocks. pace of play was great but i think it was an unusually slow day. some memorable holes but overall there are better courses for less money

Dont waste your money!!!

Played here for years. They raised rates during Covid so I only come back on a Golf Now rate. Its normally $100.00 on Tuesday and gets more expensive as the week goes on. The course is noticeably in trouble. The fairways were burnt out. The greens are rock hard. We had 12 players on multiple holes at tee box, fairway and greens. 12 people!! No marshall. It use to be a very nice course but its dying out. Spend your money elsewhere.
