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.

Ah, Alhambra

I've played here on a pretty regular basis for over 5 years now. The course is in its best condition in years. The new tee boxes are coming in nicely (although the 12th is still a bit slanted). Greens are as typical and don't break as much as they appear they should, but that is fairly easily overcome. I love the senior rate and play here most often because of it. The pins were in really difficult positions with most being on crests of undulations or within 6 feet of the edge of the green. I have never seen this before and it was a major talking point in the group I played in.

I'll definitely be back ")

Well worth the time and $$

Hadn’t played this course in several years and came back for the annual Thanksgiving weekend round of golf with the buddies. I read the reviews and people swore by the greens and knocked the Tee boxes being shorter due to reseeding. There was no issue with tee boxes other than the grass being a little tall due to the reseeding, but we’ll maintained and in right distance location when we went. The greens were amazing with various speeds depending n the sun hitting them, and as the day went on.. the one thing I did see was peoples lack of efforts in giving the ball marks. When you have nice greens folks should make that effort but here not so much, or not as much as they should have. The fairways were nice, and given that this is a shorter course where lots of lay up shots come into play, that helps for sure.. Sand traps were decent (only had to test once thank god) and overall a really enjoyable round of golf. I would definitely recommend for multiple levels of players to work on many aspects of the game. Tends to be a bit slower round (4.5 hours) since there can be a lot more people walking due to its length but still fun over all.

Too short!

Almost every par 4 courses were too short.

One of them is par 4 hole which was 180 yards long.
