About
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.

Par 3 13th Photo submitted by HOTSPOTTS on 07/27/2018
Nice day with some caveats
It's been a few years since I've played Alhambra. I've probably played it more than 30 times. Overall, the course was in great shape. The busy range has really evolved for the better. I was surprised to see the 18th hole that cuts the corner of the range is now a par 5 instead of a par 4. I think that's great for speeding up pace of play and makes birdie or even eagle feel achievable. If not for a slower group ahead that were playing the wrong tees, the day would have been 5 stars.
Golfing with the buddies
Everything was great. Green were great. There was great. Everything was all good. Can’t wait to play again..
Slow Play Is KillingnThis Courde
Each time I play the rounds get longer. Very annoying. Get a marshal on the course after 8 AM PLEASE.. No excuse for 4.5 and 5 hour rounds in the morning
Great green’s & excellent course maintenance!
The greens are plush & beautifully kept in top condition.
Short course but fun green.
Litte bit short, but very fun green. Be careful, anther hole player ball fly in to my hole. Sometimes there are smoe people that walking on the fairway.
Fun Course
I am a fan of this course. Open fairways, mixed elevation and a few parable holes.
Slow Pace Tight Fairway
Playing single on a threesome group. Ahead of us group playing fivesome very slow. Never thought that I can play fivesome in the course.
Low maintenance of fairway, green was ok. $51 for a weekday with cart was too much.
If you are looking for practice the course is just ok. Beware of the pace of play if you are unlucky you would have found fivesome group with slow pace in front of you. Even for beginner golfer like myself.
Fivesomes--Boo!
With an 8:30 am tee time we got stuck behind 2 fivesomes that were walkers. The round lasted 4 hr. 30 minutes. That is ridiculous for this course.
Great value, beautiful, really fun to play
This was a really fun and beautiful course. The staff was incredibly friendly!
Monday morning
As they make very clear on their website, the driving range is closed until noon on Monday for routine maintenance. Additionally, the restaurant overlooking the first tee box is grab & go only Mondays and Tuesdays. They offer subpar (lol) coffee and essentially protein bars. Asking for more than that resulted in the one person working seeming very overwhelmed.
Would be nice to enjoy a cup of decent coffee and a bite to eat while watching people tee off before the round.
The course itself was in great shape when we played. The pace was great, although the group behind us announced they were part of a 15 person outing, and we easily lost sight of them after a few holes.
Carts worked as expected, the staff members in the pro shop were friendly. Parking was easy as can be.
We’ll be back for sure, but probably not on a Monday morning.
