Alhambra Golf Course: This is my favorite course. This course is like the shortest regulation course in the world. It is a Par 70 measuring 5,212 yards from the blue tees. It is mostly an easy course for good golfers, and it is a good course for beginners that want to play a regulation course, and some holes are challanging, and a fun course for everyone. The course is mostly narrow, but the course is short with bunkers in all of the holes, with 2 lakes. The couse is well decently maintained, better than other courses The front nine is flat, a Par 36. The back nine is mostly hilly and challanging, a Par 34. It is $24 on weekends/holidays, and $19 on the weekdays with $12 for a cart $15 twlight, $8 super-twlight, and $1 junior rate everyday, all day, and a pull cart rental is $6 with a $1 deposit.

Teed off at 7 am on March 1. Course is a little wet and soft. Fairways are thin and greens are a little slow. Winter conditions aside, this is a fun executive course that is a good choice for less skilled players. Cheap too.

this is a nice and short course,the staff was very good,we had very good breakfast before heading out.it rained the night before and was a little muddy in areas.the fair ways were good and most of the greens.we played at a very good pace front nine in 2 hr.s and back nine in 1 1/2 hr.s there were a lot of holes that you had to think about on which club to use to best play the next shot

Really fun course to play. Very helpful staff. Country club feel at public course.

Friday, 8/10, decided to play on spur of the moment and a call to Santa Anita revealed it to be backed up, even for a single. Cast about for an alternative and decided to try Alhambra for the first time as a change of pace. When I called to check on the wait, the starter said to "come on down." Got there @ 1:25 as a walk-on and went out almost immediately with two other singles. As previously described, a predominantly short course, flat for the front nine and hilly for the back. Local knowledge needed only minimally on the front, but handy on the back. At times it can almost seem like an executive course with the short par 4s, but then you have the extended, over-water carry of the 16th par 5 to slap you upside the head. While the lack of length in general definitely discounts the course as any kind of serious test, it was enjoyable. I frequently teed off with irons and worked on playing strategically. The conditons were generally good. Good, level teeing areas, greens in good shape with decent speed and the fairways, while not exactly lush, were OK and gave a lot of roll. The price (under $20 to walk on a weekday) is cheap for 18 holes, but what really got my attention was getting right on, and then having open holes ahead and behind on a Friday afternoon. The thread of prior reviews more often than not seems to suggest that this course has good pace and less traffic than a lot of others in the vicinity. On the day, it was a pleasant surprise and fit the bill. I don't know that I would put it high on my list of regular choices, but it definitely is a place I'll keep in mind for accessibility and the change-of-pace casual round.

It has been several months since the last time I played this course. The course is in fairly good shape. The tee boxes and fairways are in decent shape, just a few bare spots. The greens are a little slower than normal. Except for a few divots, they roll fairly well. This is a fun, but short course. The back nine requires some delicate course management to achieve a good score.
