Type Municipal
Par 71
Length 5466 yards
Slope 123
Rating 70.4

Alhambra Golf Course has a player-friendly design that is ideal for beginners but also great for more experienced players who are looking for a quick but fun round. The layout is a shorter par-71 design at 5,478 yards. It may not be long but it offers plenty of other challenges. There is plenty of variety between the two vastly different nines. The front nine holes are fairly flat, parkland holes with generous fairways lined with trees. The beginning holes provide a good warm-up for Alhambra Golf Course's more difficult back nine where you'll have to use every club in your bag. The back sprawls across rolling terrain, incorporating elevation changes ranging from subtle to dramatic. There are also more strategically placed bunkers on the back nine. Alhambra's 16th is the signature hole. This tricky par 5 begins with an intimidating tee shot over water in order to reach the fairway.

GREENS ARE TERRIBLE

The course used to be well maintained now I have no idea what happened to it, the greens are one of the worst greens we have ever play in. Time to find a new location to play.

Could be better

The fairways aren't very bad but the greens are horrible! Patches of grass making the ball hop all over the place. Will not play here again.

What happened to you?!

So sad to see how bad this course has gotten. Greens are worse than if they were freshly punched. This use to be a great course with beautiful greens. I would play this once a week. Haven’t been here in over a month because of this same reason and looks to be the same. And it’s crazy that in the condition it is, everyone still flocks to play here which might actually be part of the problem right now. For what they are charging you it’s absolutely not worth it. Hope something changes

Good for Walking BUT Putting Green is BEYOND HORRIBLE.

I want to start walking so I choose Alhambra to tryout. It's great shoter course to walk.

The overall condition is bad and the green is on another level. In my life, I never seen anything worse than it. It's seriously not able to putt. 2-3 different type of grass and not flat with patches of dirts and grass. The ball bounces up and down and side to side.

If you just want to walk and practice iron shot, still acceptable.

The course used to be beautiful now it’s trashed

Can’t put on any of the greens anymore and the course looks like it needs a new ground crew

For $53 around there is plenty of courses nearby that are 150% better than this place unfortunately

Greens need work

The greens were punched a few weeks ago in April. They were way better before the aeration. If there is one thing thats gotta be good its the greens and they were bad. I love this short course but I'm not sure about playing on these greens. The rest of the course is pretty average, but has a few great bunkers with new fluffy sand. The value is there but birdies wont come by skilled puts but luck. To be clear the aeration holes weren't an issue, but it seemed that the greens were hanging on a thread between life and death. Worst greens ive seen.

The worse greens I’ve played on.

I play 60-100 rounds a year for the past 3 years and played here many times, I play here to work on my short game and my scoring as it isn’t long. It’s not fancy, but usually the greens are in good shape. Not this round. In fact they were the worse greens I’ve seen in the last 3 years on any course. Recently aerated, patchy, bumpy and sandy. I’m not saying don’t ever play here, but don’t waste your money here for the next 2 months. Hopefully they fix this.

Long round, pace of play was super slow. They don’t accept cash. Greens were not great and staff could have been more helpful and friendly.

Under construction

I wish they gave a heads up, tee markers are all moved up, they got lots of construction going on while playing. Not a very enjoyable round. At least offer discount rate
