I like Alhambra for the same reason most people do: It's very short, and relatively easy. All the holes are right in front of you, for the most part, and as long as you can hit it straight, you'll have plenty of scoring opportunities.

Conditions are fair right now. I would say pretty good, but that really only applies to the greens. Everything else is mediocre-to-good. There are some bare spots in the fairways, which is always unsightly, and the bunkers are fine, but a little firm/compact (but not thin, so they're playable). Rough is fine for the most part, as are the tee boxes, though the grass was a little too long on the tees, such that your tee wouldn't stick above the grass or in the grass as much as you'd like.

As for the greens, they were the highlight of the course conditions (as it should be). They are very lush, and roll pretty well. There are some ball marks here and there, but on a municipal public course, what do you expect? All in all, it's a really fun course to try to go low, and the price is as affordable as any regulation course, so I will certainly be back for more.
