San Dimas Canyon Golf Course

This was an absolute waste of money, anyone who says otherwise either does not play golf or is getting paid by course management.

Our tee time was at 1:30 with sunset expected at 5:40PM - which should be just enough time to finish a round; maybe you're putting on 18 in a bit of darkness. The pace of play on this course is horrendous, with no favors done by the fact that the course management tries to squeeze too many golfers on the course at one time, with only nine minutes in between groups. The problem with this approach is the course starts with a downhill short par-4 that everyone thinks they can drive so they wait for the group ahead to clear the green. The next hole is a par 3, which, like every other par 3 we were able to play, had a two or three group backup on the tee (again, nine minutes between groups is clearly not enough time).

It took us 40 minutes to get through the first two holes, and then we hit the stretch of holes 5, 6, and 7, which were a par 3 (again 3 group backup), a very reachable par 5 (every group waits for the green to clear to get there in two, creating another backup on the tee box), and a par 3 (again a 3 group backup). We probably waited on average 10 minutes between shots.

We finally made the turn after the 9th hole and the time was 5PM. THREE HOURS AND THIRTY MINUTES to get through nine holes! Are you serious?! And what do we find on the 10th hole? another 2 group backup because the 10th is a par 3. To think we paid $55 a person to play at snail's place and have no sense of rhythm. Oh and this is not to mention the fact that the fairways are dug up, have large electrical equipment in the middle of them, and have electrical cable lines running overhead.

The only good thing about the course is the maintenance of the greens, which is why this doesn't get a 1 star. Absolutely worthless experience.

Great municipal course but pace of play is very slow and lacks assistance to speed up play. Cart died on the 13th hole and no staff picking up phone. That was around 4:30pm on Thursday. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

In 4 hours and 30 minutes of playing time we got through exactly 14 holes. Absolutely atrocious. Felt like the course was double booked.

Staff didn’t seem to give a crap about it, not a Marshall in sight.

Avoid it on the weekends at all costs.

I made a reservation(hot deal) at 12:48p but my tee time was changed (1:06p) without notice. Anyway the course was good.

Every hole is backed up almost 3-4 groups the last 4 times I’ve played here. Terrible pace

Well maintained course lots of challenging holes with breaks on the green away from mountains.

SDC has consistently offered a layout that’s fun for all skill leveled and this past time was no exception.

One of the best values you’ll find in the IE.
