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.

Another fine day

We played Alhambra last Wednesday a couple of weeks after they Aerated the course. The greens were healing nicely. We weren't expecting the tee boxes to be under repair. ( the Par 5, 4's become one stroke less due to moving up the tee boxes) We still had a fine day of golf.

The staff in the Pro shop were very pleasant and efficient getting everyone assigned to their carts and tee times.

The wait staff in the grill was awesome ( as always)

I would like to see reminders ( flags) on flag poles on every hole) for players to fix their +1 Divot. Golf carts also.

NEEDS A MARSHALL

Honestly, I was pretty taken aback by the conditions of this course as I thought it had great value for what we were paying but as soon as we got past the first couple of holes it seemed like people were congregating around certain holes. This caused the pace of play to be extremely slow. My friends and I were waiting roughly 20 mins before we could tee off and ultimately this made us leave after finishing 8 holes in 2 and half hours. I will not be coming back here until they get someone to crowd control and marshall the course.

Beautiful course

Short, but challenging course. Fairways, tee boxes, and greens were in great shape. There were slightly too many divots on the greens, but it wasn’t to a distracting level.

Nice Day

We played this course because it’s relatively short and my sons are just getting serious about playing golf. Overall, the course is in great shape and the staff was really friendly. The course layout was a bit tough because the parcel of land that the course is on is small, so there isn’t much distance between the green and the next tee on a number of holes. We nearly got hit with errant shots 4 times. The group ahead of us was a fivesome so the pace of play was slower than you’d think for a course this short. I’d love to see them put more sand in the bunkers. They were really packed down hard making it difficult to play bunker shots. Lastly, I think some of the tee boxes should be mowed shorter. Some of them were like playing out of the rough.

It was still a good day of golf and I’d definitely recommend playing the course again.
