great value. course is short and does not require driver on some of the par4s. you have to play it a few times to realize sometimes the best option is using your hybrid or even an iron off the tee. green quality have dropped a bit. it is still pretty good but not as smooth as it used to be. putts roll true but surface is a bit furry lately. it used to be silky smooth and easily compare it to the high end courses. overall a nice track to play.

This was my second time at this course. It has been a couple of years and I can say that conditions seem much better than before. Greens were in good condition, and I did not see too many ball marks on any of them. I thought they rolled true and were not bumpy. A sign at the first tee stated: greens 9.5 Stimp, fairway and tees cut to 0.5", rough cut to 1.5". Fairways and rough were lush and divots were mostly replaced or filled with divot mix; in fact, every tee box had divot mix. I kept my old Gatorade bottle filled with mix as I was walking. I was in a couple of sand traps. Other than the many footprints, sand was plentiful and soft. Pace of play was a really slow as there were multiple groups playing competitively for money or bragging rights. I think we were right at 5.5 hours.

Pace of play was good even though it was crowded. People take your balls if you don't watch out. Greens were good except for the ball marks. They have a million signs telling everyone to repair them but no one bothers to read them. Overall the course was in good condition. The red dot book is the only thing that keeps this place on my radar, not a place I keep on my rotation since Dad Miller is closer to me.

I had not played here since 2004. I always enjoyed this little course, because aside from being an "ego builder" there are actually a number of good holes on this course. The greens were fantastic, as good as anywhere else I've played recently. The rest of the course...... not so great. Fun place to play. Lots of birdie opportunities, which always makes for a good time.

Played last week. Staff was great. Many tee boxes were under repair and used alternate tee boxes . Greens are nearly fully recovered from recent aeration. Fairways in very good shape. Enjoyed the roun... Continue »

Played last week. Staff was great. Many tee boxes were under repair and used alternate tee boxes . Greens are nearly fully recovered from recent aeration. Fairways in very good shape. Enjoyed the round. Walked in a foursome and finished slightly over 4 hours. If you don't hit it straight you will find yourself in bailout mode. Many trees and hazards for those that do not hit straight. Do not be deceived by the short yardage of the course. One of my playing partners played this for the first time. Called the course a sissy course. He shot a 125.

Played on Friday and was quite surprised at this course. It was in great condition and while most holes are very short there is enough challenge with trees and bunkers to make you hit some shots well to score. The greens were in great condition with hardly a divot but were very soft and a bit slow to putt on. The traps were well sanded and for the most part quite fluffy. The fairways were in real good condition with some being recently punched although the punching was healing nicely and the fairways were really clean from any of the punching. The fairways were a bit damp though and you didn't get much roll out as you would expect this time of year. Overall this course was in terrific condition and the staff were all very friendly.

Played Alhambra as a walk up single on 7/4/2010. Course was in very good shape with smooth greens. Customer service was great. Please note that the new scorecard has a yardage for a new set of back "black" tees. The old back tees, the blues, were listed at 5212 yards on this short par 70 course. The new scorecard has yardage of 5266 for the blues and 5461 for the blacks with no USGA/Slope ratings yet for the latter. In most cases, there are not new tee boxes on each hole, rather new black tee markers have been placed at the tips of the existing back tee boxes. Usually 5 to 10 yards behind the blues. One exception is #3 where the tee box has actually been built back some 40 yards. It is now 293 from the tips and more difficult to drive the green. #4 is another short par 4, 256 from the blues, but with a new black tee marker of 276 yards up on the tee used for the par 3 #15 which goes the opposite direction. I think putting the tees at the tips could help the pace of play at this course. Some of the par 4's were so short that a long hitter may have to wait for the green to clear in order to tee off. This could happen several times a round. Now, there are more par 4's in the 300 yard range that had been 260 yards, so the green should be just out of reach for all but the longest hitters. A drive and a pitch will make for less backups.

Nice short course, when it's not windy. There are many short par 4 holes that are driveable, that is if your driver goes straight. Not a tough course when the wind is down and pretty easy to walk most of it. A couple areas of water to lose a ball or 2, but you should be fine with just a sleeve. Conditions are pretty good, not spectacular like a private tournament course, but no major areas of concern that I saw. Practice putting green is much faster than the actual course greens, so don't practice too much on them before your round. Had a good time playing with 2 other GKers TonyBarrett and BobDaNinja.

Played 5/23/10 with Paisano and tonybarrett. Wind was blowing crazy amounts. Course was a lot of fun and in good condition. It's in much better shape than the courses I normally have been playing (Brookside), and the price is comparable. $30 to walk, $43 to ride. Greens were not too fast. Never tested out any of the bunkers, so an't comment on those. Seemed like it should have been easier than what I ended up shooting. Of course, everything will probably look easy compared to PGA West for a while.
