Holes 18
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.

Customer service excellent at all level of interaction with employees. Course in good condition except for the traps. Muddy, crusty and hard packed. They need lots of work. They do not add to the enjoyment of the round.

First Time Playing

Excellent course for the price. Monday mornings less valuable.

Excellent experience on the course. Pace of play was on point, the course was in great shape, and the pro shop staff was friendly during check in. However, if your tee time is in the morning on Monday, you will not be able to access the driving range, as it is closed for weekly maintenance. You might expect to be able to grab a bite of breakfast since there’s not much else to do, but the restaurant is grab & go only on Monday and Tuesday, and this essentially means you can have weak coffee and a protein bar. The person behind the counter seems to be overwhelmed if you ask for anything more. The patio outside the restaurant would be a great spot to watch tee shots from the first hole while enjoying a pre-round breakfast, and this is a missed opportunity for sure.

Course was in good shape and weather was excellent

Haven’t played here in a while. Greens were in good shape seemed to fix 3-4 ball marks per green though. The round was slow we tee’d off at 240pm and got of the 18th green at 725pm. Alhambra is a fun tight course. My 10 year old son loves it. It’s our go to when he wants to play. I recommend it. Fun to hear the little league teams playing when you’re on the front 9. I enjoy the back 9 a bit more. A little more thought needed for tee shots on the back 9.

Quality continues

We're back at Alhambra. My group generally golf on Long Beach courses. Alhambra Golf is head and shoulders above the Long Beach and surrounding municipal courses because of attention to detail. The Pro shop is stocked with everything that you'd need, shoes, shirts, tees, balls and even fresh cigars if you're so inclined.

The food from the restaurant/grill is delicious. I've had hamburgers, Tuna sandwiches ( fresh), breakfast sandwiches all are cooked to order.

The course itself is always in great condition. They are spending money where it's needed ( maintenance) and it shows. The driving range is also greatly improved with nice outdoor lounge furniture for in between practice sessions. The new ball tracking system is up and ready to use.

Needless to say, I like this course and will be returning soon.

Good value for this course.

Front 9 is easier and relatively flat. Back 9 gets more narrow and challenging for shot placement.

Great Course. Slow play.

Course was in great shape with some minor ground under repair. Pace was very slow. 2.5 hours to play 9 holes. Did not finish our whole round. By the time we made the turn we only had about 15-20 minutes of visibility left. Would recommend this course but be prepared for slow play on weekends.
