Played for the second time here today.

Course was in good condition for the most part. Round took just under three hours as I was paired with another single & we breezed through several groups. Kind of odd though at the start when he just jumped in my cart with his stuff-"oh, the pro shop lady just said to join you."

Ok...

Which reminds me, pro shop lady who checked me in wasn't the friendliest...

Anyway, all the tees are being aerated. Lots of big holes in them and some tee boxes are being redone in parts. Didn't bother me too much, but all the tees were clustered together off most tee boxes. Hopefully they will fix the unevenness of some of the boxes though which DOES bother me.

Fairways were in good condition, maybe a hair too long. Rough was typical for a course like this-very patchy in places and not too penal. The bunkers I was in had great sand and were great to play out of with a nice base. Greens rolled really well and looked good (minus the unrepaired ball marks that no one fixes!)

Overall course is in not too bad of shape if you don't mind their mess on the tees.

Hello fellow golfers. I played Alhambra golf course today, Sat the 31. The staff in the pro shop are always great. I've been coming here for quite a while now. Thanks Julius for making my visits enjoyable and also the other staff. The course is getting greener. The fairways are getting better, not as many dry spots. The greens were rolling prety good but people still aren't repairing their ball marks. I like this course because you can work on your short game and long irons. No need to hit driver except on 2 holes, the 2nd and the 16th. Pace of play is usually good when I go, mostly after 3pm. Enjoy

Out as a foursome around 11:30 this morning. The course was busy but, while it ended up being a five hour round, there wasn't overly much extended waiting and it didn't seem that long. Our generally errant group's pace seemed to match the general pace for speed (or lack of it). The course is in good shape. Most tee boxes are nice and level with coverage. Fairways are decent with mostly good lies, but there were some occasional thin areas in the mix. I was only in one bunker and it was damp and firm. The greens are pretty good here—quick for a muni, good surface (ball marks not withstanding), and some slope and subtle contours to make it interesting. Several grass mowers and leaf blowers were going off simultaneously for the first few holes, which was a bit annoying and distracting at times, but when they were done, they seemed to finish together. Weather was clear, pleasantly cool, and just about perfect—just a great day to be active outside. Some nice views of the mountains at various points in the course. I don't play here too often, but it's a nice change of pace.

Played on 11-11 (veteran's day) in the am. Playing conditions were solid, with mostly lush enough fairways and greens of slow/medium speed. Sand was fluffy enough as well. POP was affected by a slow-ish group in front of our threesome but the marshal was visible and he did return one of our headcovers. Overall, this course is an enjoyable track to walk, and since it has a number of 300 yard par 4s, it is not too daunting for the high capper. Also, the par 3s are interesting, and the course is not stricken with one identical hole after another. This course is a good value, and I hope to make it a more regular part of my rotation.

Played the front 9 twice. The back nine was closed for aeration. The back nine will be aerated on 9-16. Fairway are a little longer and there are a few brown spots. Greens were a little on the slow side. Bunkers were a little on the firmer side with a thin top layering of sand. Pace of play was under 4 hours after jumping ahead of a slow foursome then replaying hole 5 twice. Customer service as usual was very good.

First time playing here today. Overall very pleased. Great layout for a short course; a lot of variety & holes that make you think about which club to pick while giving plenty of scoring opportunities.

Course conditions are in great shape considering the drought & the summer heat.

Fairways were in great shape, only a few dry spots here & there; otherwise great to hit off of.

Tees only had divot issues on par 3s as to be expected, but otherwise level & lush.

Sand traps (I was in plenty) were good. Not exactly the white fluffy stuff but definitely soft enough to hit out of just fine.

Greens rolled really well & had no divot or bare spot areas but needed a trim & a rolling. They were extremely slow. Poorest part of the course even though they looked great.

POP was quick since this is a short course at 3hrs. Great practice areas & facilities overall. I would come back more often if this wasn't so far from the SFV (but I have to anyway since I lost a club!)

Havent played here on weekends as I was afraid of the pace but decided to give it another shot. Wow! was I surprised that the course was pretty empty on a Sat PM. Maybe they raised their green fees from last time I played on weekends here .. I don't know. PAce was under 4 hours with minimal waiting. We were behind a 2some and had to wait on a few holes but was moving along.

Conditions of the course was decent. Greens are always one of the best part of the course. Smooth and medium fast. Mostly straight forward but there are a few pin placements that were harder than usual.
Tee is in good shape. Bunkers - didn't get to hit from but looks well stocked.
Staff was efficient and professional as usual. Got us out in a timely manner. Bev cart went around a few times but you had to flag them down or they don't stop for you. LOL.
One thing I did notice is people don't yell FORE here. 3X we had balls fly over us and not once was there any warning. They did apologize but a warning would have been nice.

Certainly would not mind paying $36 to walk here if I get to finish under 4 hours.
Definitely will put this back on rotation for my rounds.

Went out with a buddy yesterday, Friday, 5/30, @ 3:20pm for a $20 walking twilight fee. For what it is, I really had no complaints and the course is in nice shape all around. Greens ran on the quick side and were in good shape with the exception of more unrepaired ball marks than usual—which doesn't bug me as much as some. Yeah, I appreciate someone was rude not to fix their mark, but how many actually end up on your line? So fix it, and a couple more, and get on with your round. It seems like too much preaching to the choir to harp on it here. These greens will challenge you and I enjoyed them. Made it around in just under 3.5 hrs which seems amazing for a Friday mid afternoon. Wedding vows were concluding on the gazebo by the clubhouse as we were coming up the ninth fairway and a graduation was kicking into gear on the high school field bordering the back nine. Ah, Spring… good times!

Shortly after noon yesterday, I got around Alhambra in just under four hours, playing as a single behind a line of steadily progressing groups. Per recent reviews, the course is in nice condition so I'll just add some random comments. Greens are in nice shape, quick, and challenging. While I saw a good number of repaired ball marks, I didn't see that many unrepaired marks on the day, as some have reported. Grass around the green complexes was good enough that the lies allowed me to execute a couple of flop shots and facilitated chipping. Teeing grounds generally had very nice coverage and are level—a pleasure to tee from. The exception would be the 12th. The hole has a tight driving window with OB left and a tight tree line on the right. Ideally, you'd like to be on the left side of the tee box to get as much right fairway in sight as possible, but much of that side of the teeing ground has a little cant to the left. While generally short, it's a nice little course with it's own challenges, the price is reasonable, and the service is always friendly. Aeration will be performed later in the month.
