Did we all play out there today? Wow!!! What a golf course! Angeles National Golf Club was worth the wait. Greens were soooo sweet. Like a pool table. Course design is fun and fair. Fairways are forgiving and I like that! I’m so sick of the new tricked up courses. Although the Par 5’s play too easy. I guess from the blacks that would change. They should come up with a hybrid tee selection that combines half the blues with half the blacks. Now is as good of a time if any! Love this course. Get out and play it!

Played today on Opening Day. The course is in fantastic shape. Greens are rolling fast, sweet and pure. No ball marks whatsoever, of course, cuz it's new! Played the blue tees, but next time would like to play the back. Without any wind, this course is defenseless and a little short. Greens are very large, chipping areas around the greens present a decent chance to get up and down, not punishing like a Pete Dye design where you miss a green by 2 feet and your ball rolls 30 yards into a bunker or down into a swale. Fairways are more generous than they appear off the tee, but there are a few holes where they are a little on the tight side. From the blue, all the par 5's are reachable in 2 and some only play 480 yards. This course plays very similar to Landmark CC out in Indio, and Desert Dunes out in Desert Hot Springs. Now people in LA County won't have to go to the Palm Springs/Palm Desert to play a "desert course". I liked the course very much, thought the conditions were outstanding, and it is very playable for all handicaps. All grass range and large practice putting green. Played in 4 hours, so the pace was good. Overall, a fair and honest test, w/o the wind. With the wind, bring a lot of balls or else..

First day for public play today.
Obviously, the golf course is in super shape. The golf course looks very daunting off the tee but is in fact quite forgiving. Strategically placed bunkers on the fairways make accuracy off the tee a must or else its trouble. The greens were fast and roll really well. Jack Nicklaus did a super job in making this golf course a fair challenge for all levels of play. Pro Shop verification is needed in order to play the back tees. This shows you how tough the golf course will play from the tips. All in all, I would say this golf course had a very successful opening day and as time go by, it will continue to mature into a very beautiful and enjoyable place to golf.
