Eaton Canyon Golf Course

Course has good bones but conditions of tee boxes, fairways were subpar. Greens were ok, course needs lots of TLC

On almost every hole there's still water with yellow jackets surrounding it. Bring off or deet for all the smaller bugs. Greens are hit and miss. Fairways are in so-so conditions.

Having Eaton Cyn and Altadena 9 hole courses here just above Pasadena is a real treat. Getting tee times are still fairly easy, both courses are challenging. I believe that both courses were originally 18 holes and 9 holes were sold off to developers. The courses get dry and full of gopher holes when you get off the fairways, so hit em straight. Greens are usually in decent shape, tee boxes, well, those seem to be hit or miss. Both courses have driving ranges with grass tees and nicely kept putting greens. Golf tee times are hard to come by in the San Gabriel valley, especially when you're a more casual golfer and maybe don't plan well ahead, but just feel like getting in 9 holes.

I believe his name is Sam at the pro shop, dude obviously hates his job I have no idea why he’s there.

I love coming here but dealing with rude pro shop workers is the worst, kills the mood.

Other then that lovely course

Don’t expect too much, but with that said, if your expectations are to get in a round with your boys, get some step in, or even enjoy riding a cart and having a few. It’s a great spot. Price doesn’t necessarily reflect what you’re gonna play but it’s what helps to keep it open I guess. Greens are solid, fairways aren’t so much but I had a blast cause there wasn’t ever any rush and it was a beautiful day.

It’s hard to find a 9 hole course with some good yardage, so this one is filling the gap. The course condition needs some work tho, fairways are mixed with different kinds of grass and weeds. the rough is very hard to play, it’s basically all weeds and bare ground, so you either lose the ball or you have to move it to hit. The cart path is beaten up as well. All that being said, if you can grab a deal, it’s still worth to play as a practice course.

This was my second time playing this course, and I will definitely play here again as it is a good value and a fun course. I played on a Sunday morning and the pace of play was good, the greens were in good shape, it’s not too difficult, you get to use most of your clubs, and the trees on the course are beautiful. Also, I like how it’s mostly par 4s and has two par 5s which is unique for a 9 hole course. Only down sides are good luck finding your ball if you’re not on the fairway and the staff seems a bit disorganized.
