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.

Pace of play

For this course being so short it took us 5 and a half hours. They don’t space out the tee times. I even saw a fivesome. Probably won’t play here for a while until this is addressed. They do have a great driving range.

Temporary tee boxes

For the past 2 weeks they have temporary tee boxes. Everyone basically hits from Reds distance. They aren't even real tee boxes, they just killed the grass in certain areas and have you hit form there. They are in horrible condition. Lots of standing water in certain areas creating mud. Grass in the 2nd and 3rd cuts are cut very uneven making very tough lies. Greens have gotten a little better from before, but still have dirt areas. Overall the course is not playing well. I would wait until it gets better.

Poor Conditions - Lack of Caring

This course does not accept cash. Could not find anywhere that this was posted (online or at the course).

We found out at tee-time that ALL tee boxes were closed (no where was this posted), so we had to tee off 80 to 100 yards closer to the pin... (again, NO NOTICE).

Mud everywhere (there has been no rain for months). Their watering system is really fouled up.

Greens were very "pitty". Lot's of divots and chunks taken out.

Tried to discuss this with someone at the course, but not receptive or willing to listen (mostly just smiled and laughed, saying "I only work here").

Good value

Course was in good shape and piece of play was great. The driving range you hit off mats and the balls were pretty beat up, but the course itself was in good shape. Greens rolled true.
