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.

rough is extra rough

not a complaint but the rough is considerably taller/thicker which led to lost balls this week

very much appreciate the effort to remove the excess plant matter in the big lake!

Best bang for your buck…..

Great course for the pricing, easy especially if you can play after 3pm.

Pros…friendly staff, not much water, great course to walk. Great back 9 layout.

Cons…Lots of Geese on front 9, public course with many players without golf etiquette.

Hidden Gem

We played Alhambra Golf Course and found it to be an excellent venue. The layout has mostly straight-away fairways, a good combination of 4 par and 3 par holes, as well as 3, 5 par holes. The large trees separating fairways create a stunning setting for golf. I noticed the tee pads and some of the greens had thick Bermuda shoots growing - these should be removed. The course was generally very well kept. A great day for golf!

Could be better

There’s a lot of good value to this course. However, there are a handful of issues that they either can’t fix or are choosing not to. Specifically speaking, the bunkers have been terrible for the last few years. There’s never any playable sand. It’s either hard as rock or soaking wet underneath. They also constantly have ground under repair and do a minimal or lazy job of marking it with a flag or two. But one club length also doesn’t make a difference because even in that radius, the grass and mud are still unplayable. These two specific things could potentially make for an overall excellent experience, if they did something about their drainage

Home Course

always seems to start with a great and friendly, energetic and knowledgeable staff. Not a long hitter, so the course length helps you feel you can play the best round of your life every time you tee off. Except for several unrepaired ball marks on the greens (which is dismaying, why can't we bend over and repair ONE ball mark, even if you didn't create one!?), they are very well kept by the groundskeepers, not so much us golfers. Lots of fun, low stress, and we always encounter beautiful weather.

Friendly Course, nice greens

Only the 3rd time playing there on the weekend so maybe I’ve just had bad luck getting caught behind slower groups all 3 times playing there, or it’s the norm, time will tell. Otherwise what a great course, nice greens, friendly staff.

Small suggestions

Love Alhambra.

I'm glad to see sand being added to bunkers.

The only other thing is the need to extend the lunch menu Mondays and Tuesdays please!

Lake is in need of maintenance

The algae in the 2nd/16th Hole lake has really become an issue; it's creating tremendous odor as the plant life in there starts to die and rot. Alhambra staff needs to deal with it before it gets much worse.
