Type Municipal

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.

Watch Out!!!

I have played here in the past without any issues. However the last few times I have been nearly hit with miss hit golf balls that have landed a few feet from me. Nobody yells four. The last time we were there on the tee box my friend got hit in the back. It almost hit him in the head. The holes are configured fairly tight so this is bound to happen. I can deal with slow play but getting hit with a ball is an unacceptable risk I’m not willing to take. I never have had this many close calls at other courses so it is doubtful I will be playing here again.

Friendly short regulation course

I've played this course a hundred times and I like it when I need to get my game straightened out. The par fours are short the par threes are tricky and there's just enough trouble on the either side of the fairways to make you concentrate off the tee. I had a good time this day playing an elderly gentleman and his two young daughters. They were all younger than me but I held my own through nine holes. I recommend this course to anyone who can get there and get a tee time. The hired help is friendly and accommodating. I only wish they had a car girl on some of these hot days and when it gets backed up on some holes.

First Time Playing

Slow pace of play

Good course, first time playing here was short most holes were 3 wood off the tee, pace of play was so slow had to wait 10+ minutes each hole to tee off took over 5 hours and we skipped the last hole because of how long it was taking.

Great course

Perfect greens. I have played here many times and I love the layout. I would especially recommend this course for shorter hitters who are tired of hitting 3woods and long irons into par 4s.

Risky Golf

I have always enjoyed playing this course, but the last 2 times I have played, we have had near misses getting hit by errant golf shot. Then on the 4th hole we were standing on the tee box, and my friend got hit with a ball in the back. We didn't hear anybody yelling 4. We confronted the player and he claimed he yelled four, but none of us heard it. The last two times I played, we have had balls dropping within 2 feet of us. I think they need to hire a marshal for the course, because frankly, I am not really interested in playing here again due to the high risk of getting hit.

Chewed up.

Overall good coarse experience. I just got one complaint. The greens were pretty chewed up. Lots of unrepaired ball marks and mud on a lot of greens.

Good course

Friendly staff, service good when I do ask for some help, wish they maintain the brushes for the shoes thats located near the holes thru the course, they really need to maintain those as it helps to clear the gunk off the shoes instead of bringing it back to drop off of the carts, I would say at least 80% of those brushes need replacement in the last 3 times I been there same no replacement.

Rules and etiquette

The foursome in front of us had two beginners without clubs. They had to get clubs from the other twosome. This made play so slow and frustrating. The course sent out someone out to investigate. They said it was ok that the other two players didn’t have clubs. How is that ok?we finally skipped a hole to get passed them. By that time it was no fun anymore.
