Played this AM. Wanted to get out and walk, instead of using a cart and this course fits the bill. POP was 3 H. Check in is at the driving range shack, as the Pro shop is closed. Very good system. Upon paying proceed to tee box and check in with starter, who is there to make sure tee times are kept in order. No change in charges to play. Carts are allowed. Play is only allowed by reservation done online, or calling for tee time. No walk ups. Driving range is open. Course is in good shape. Tee boxes were all fine (6 12 13 tee boxes open). Fairways were green/covered, though some brown spots are beginning to show. Good lies but not much roll out. Rough was about 1" and thick. Found several balls that had not been found, most likely from weekend players. Traps were all clean and playable, but as most already know, no rakes to repair. Greens all looked great and held shots, but were very slow in putting. Very good customer service from all staff. Restaurant was not open today, but is expected to shortly for take out.

Having to be in the area, decided to get back to Alhambra. I was hesitant to play here because I already knew that holes 6,12 & 13 had temp tees, which is a real bummer, because those are some of my favorite holes on this course.

Conditions about as expected. Greens rolled well, quicker than I remember. Fairways still in "winter condition" but coming around. Most of the tee boxes were decent. Since I tend to play "tips" here, not nearly as much wear to those areas.

Staff is always great here. Very friendly and make you feel they appreciate your patronage. While not the most difficult golf course, it's fun to play, and actually provides a number od quality shot opportunities

Out late AM but still played in 3 H. Course is continuing to stay in good condition from tee to green. Tee boxes on 6, 12, 13 are still not open. So these holes will play shorter. Most other tee boxes are using the SCGA markers to put some length into the course. Excellent customer service. And unlike many of the courses ( LA County) rates have not gone up.

Got in a quick mid AM round in 3 H. Check in was fast/efficient. Great customer service. Not much to report since my previous review. But they are now putting the blue markers (on some holes) on the black SCGA markers, which adds some more length to the holes. # 6, 12 and 13 are still new tee boxes that are roped off. From the appearance of them (very dry) I fully would not expect them to be open anytime soon? Only issue I encountered was with bunkers. They need more sand or need turning. They are very hard vs fluffy.

Was able to get out yesterday around 11 and able to finish in 3 H. Course was running very smoothly and found no backups. The new management group is really (IMO) making this course much better. All the tee boxes were in very good shape. # 6, 12 and 13 were redone and are still not open. Notice says by end of the month. The fairways had very good coverage, so the lies were good and plenty of roll out. Traps (in 2) were playable and clean. Others appeared the same way. Greens were rolling very nicely with good speed. Customer service was excellent at all levels. IMO this course is much more enjoyable than it has been in many years. Someone said the rates have been raised? Not for seniors with a card (still 16 walking). So check ahead just in case?

Played Saturday, 2/8, as a single joining another single, teeing off around 11:30 ahead of a 12:00 Junior girls tournament. Due to the tourney, we were later joined on the 10th tee by a twosome who were only playing the back nine. Consistent with recent reviews, conditions continue to be above average for this time of year here, and with little change I'm just going to comment on a couple of anomalies. 24hourgolf mentioned some maintenance work in his review. When I was out, the third, sixth, 12th, and 13th tee boxes were roped off and the tees forward due to refurbishing. They were leveled with new sod and look very nice. Not sure when they will reopen, but I suspect not too long. It does shorten up an already short course, but this course is not at all about length and, my totally crap play notwithstanding, I still enjoyed it. Fairways had mostly green coverage on the tight side with rollout, rough was mixed and usually playable, bunkers were on the firm side, and the greens were pretty clean and quick — particularly tough from above the hole on some. For those who do play, a heads up. The hillside to the left/front of the 14th green is littered with those dry, round, spikey seed pods that are dropped by Sweetgum trees. I researched the tree name after the fact. I was looking for my ball about halfway down the hill and went down hard because the abundance of them coupled with the steep angle was like walking on ball bearings. I was down before I knew it with no time to react — almost like slipping on ice. Except for some bruising and little spike marks on my ungloved hand, I was OK, but it really is worth calling out as dangerous, so watch where you step when those are around. Pace was sluggish but consistent at about 4.75 hours, the company was pleasant, and the weather was perfect. It is always nice to see a course actively upgrading and maintaining their facilities. The management seems to care and should be commended.

Joined some friends who needed a 4th, due to frost delay as one went home. Had not intended to play yesterday due to cold weather, so this greatly improved my day. Weather was cool but comfortable so it was an enjoyable round. Not much to report since my last review on course conditions. But the work is finished (at least on these holes). Extended cart path on # 3 to be able to drive a cart up to the back of the tee (long overdue and needed), New tee box on # 6. New tee boxes on 12/13. So with the new tees and until they open them for play, they have moved the markers up. This makes the course play shorter (some may like - some may not). Personally it did not bother me. Perhaps they are planning to start using the Black SCGA markers in the future, which would add some length and challenges to certain holes. Customer service excellent at all levels. And I also noticed that they are working on the range and it is closed during certain hours of the day, so call ahead if you are going to just go to the range.

A fair number of reviews for this place recently so, in haste, my mini-report. Played Saturday, 1/25, paired with another single who was good company. As previously reported, they do a good job of trying to keep the place up and it is in good condition for this time of year — greens good for any time of year. I had an enjoyable round and recommend it.

UPDATE:1-29

I played there today they are doing significant work on the course they have put new tee boxes on number 6 12 + 13 as well as a new cart path on number three all of these holes have been significantly shortened due to the work in progress so people should check with the course to see if they want to play before they go

Played a mid morning round today. Done in 2.5 H as I missed the early crowd and later arrivals. Course has dried out nicely. Tee boxes in good shape. Fairways had good coverage and roll out. Not in any traps but they all appeared fine. Greens are still in good shape. Held shots well and good release. Chip/putt very nicely with good speed. Excellent customer service. I was told that they would be doing some tee box work and cart path repairs soon (saw no evidence of prep today), so check with course before you go play.
