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.

Great course, but listen for “Fore!”

Great course, very fun layout. A few Par 4’s are reachable. Greens are challenging with undulation, and in great shape. Be careful though…had a few close calls with errant balls. There are a few areas where it gets quite tight and landing zones are near other tee boxes or greens (but are blind). Please yell Fore! loudly when appropriate.

Steadily great place to ayt

This course is always on point. By far my most favorite place to play at. Julius and all the staff there are by far the best. I do play at times at other courses but they do not compare to playing here.

Your course is user friendly.

Your course is built for senior player. Even though it is challenging, is well suited for older players. I particularly like your par fours. The fact that a good number of your par fours are under 300 yard. Is good for me.

Your restaurant serve good food and that staff is is especially nice and helpful.

Fun short course

Alhambra golf course is a fun, short course that requires good course management. Sometimes it is best to leave the driver in the bag and hit an iron off the tee. For mid-June, the fairways were in good shape but did have a few brown spots. The greens were in very good shape but were a bit slower than the courses that I usually play. This is not a negative, and I think the course is trying to let the grass grow a little longer as the summer heat will eventually take its toll. Alhambra is a great course for beginners.
