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.

Funday of golf

Getting a later tee time was worrisome, I thought I would have to wait awhile at each hole to tee off. But it wasn't as bad , we completed our game in a regular pace of play and had a fun day of golf.

Great course

The course was in excellent shape. The greens and tee boxes were perfect. There were a few soggy spots but all good considering all of the rain.

Great Local Course

The course offered some challenging aspects such as water hazards, gullies, hills and long grass for the rough. Some of the fairways were a little narrow, making it challenging for the average golfer.

course in good shape

Despite all the rain, course in good shape.

Bunkers could use a bit more sand, but otherwise no issues.

Divets on the greens continue to be an issue. Can no one fix their friggin divets?? Let alone in the fairway, dumping a little dirt from the canister -- yes, that plastic thing on the side of the cart-- on your divets goes a long way. Don't be a tool, use your divet tool on the greens!!

course worth the trip

Course, considering all the rain wee've had, was in really good shape.

I still wish somehow the golfers would fix their darn divots on the greens

Can we address this at all?

Fairways in really good shape..as are the teeboxes.

Staff very nice, especially Vicky in the bar/grill area!

Beginner’s Munii

This is a course where you learn to play. If you have an established handicap and you play often, you’ll be very frustrated with the lack of maintenance. NO ONE fixes their divots on the greens, there are guys who drive onto the T box: not next to it , not on the path next to the T box, but ON THE T BOX. If I say something, I would likely get into a fight. Why the golf course, doesn’t enforce this is beyond me! It can be a great little course, but there’s no golf etiquette. NONE. Its sad. I won’t come back. I won’t recommend this place unless you just don’t care about your golf course and experience.
