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.

First Time Playing

Nice track.

Nice track. Great obstacles(lots of trees). Pretty well kept except the greens have tons of divots and hole 9.(lots of geese feathers and droppings). The main problem I had was pace of play. Finished in 5 hours and the marshal was out on the course the whole time. I guess it was good to him. Fair pricing I guess.

Divots are horrendous

Every hole is battered with holes in or not prepared some fresh probably round before we played.

The group behind us hit up on us three times! twice hitting our carts. When we confronted them, they said the Marshall told them to just hit and hurry up.

Nice course; has its challenges

This is our third time playing this course. I like the layout and the course is kept in good condition. Several of the holes present challenging approaches and a few hills. The pace of play was the worst I had experienced compared to the two times before - not sure why. I recommend this course.

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.

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.
