I played on a sunny Superbowl Sunday, and the greens were smooth, fairways were nice, and the pace of play was ok. Santa Anita's well-maintained for a city course and definitely worth the green fee.

For $28.50, can't really complain. Fairways had a lot of muddy spots. greeens were nice.

I forget just what a great old course this is. Playing here on a warm winter day, doesn't get any better than this! While the fairways are dormant and don't look very nice, they play just fine. Course is in pretty good shape considering it's mid January. Just a nice old track that is ofter overlooked!

Played fri 1/12. Walked on as single @ 8:45. got on immediately, which to me is kind of a bummer cuz i like the 30-60 min wait to warm up, maybe eat... anyways, not complaining. Course not busy at all today. Cold. finished in 4 hr 15 min!!! Now the not so good: I love this course, btw... first 2 greens were BUMPY!! I was very surprised. I thought the whole day would be like that, but the other 16 greens were perfect as usual. ANd the fairways seem more dead than last week. Alot more bare spots, and alot less green. Worst I've seen it in 2 years. Hopefully, it's just a January thing. Otherwise, definitely playable and still worth playing.

played again today. Similar to my last round, I had four birdies and five bogies. Back to back birdies on 9 and 10, 14 and 15.

People need to repair ballmarks!! I've come to the conclusion that most of the general golfing public are blind, and/or have no sense to the fact that when a ball lands on the green there is some damage that takes place which can be fixed.

Oh the hell with it anyway.....most of the ballmarks that do get fixed are done incorrectly and half-ass!! Nevermind! Nobody repair your marks!! I'll do it for you, I guess!!?

oops! I meant to say that #14 green needs a little TLC. it's bumpier than the rest. I think this is because it is the highest point on the golf course.

Played 1/7/2007. I played here the week before, and thanks to the recent winds, the fairways have firmed up since then, and are providing some bonus distance on your drives. I reached the par 5 3rd in two and kept it on the green with a 250 yard 3-wood. So, obviously the greens are very receptive, not to mention immaculate, thanks to me repairing 5-6 ballmarks per hole. The only green that really needs some TLC is #13. It's a bit bumpier than the rest of them. I think this is because this green is the highest point on the course.

Most of the tee boxes are in good shape. #13 tee needs a little work, nothing to really complain about. I only visited one bunker on #17 and it was in great shape.

I'm an 0.7 handicap. The blue tees playng all the way back, I reached every par 5 in two shots, but went 0-for-3 on my eagle attempts, even missing one of the comebackers for birdie from inside of 3 feet. I shot even par-71 with 5 birdies on #'s 3,6,7,10, and 13. I made three bogies on #'s 8, 15, and 16. I had one double bogey on #4. I made pars on the remaining 9 holes. Not a bad day, but I just couldn't get the flat stick working, piling up a whopping 34 putts for the day. But, the par 3's absolutely killed me(4-over par combined). I easily could have shot in the low sixties!!

Fairways 9/14, GIR 14/18, 289yard average drive in the fairway.

If you live within twenty minutes of this course there is simply no way you can get a better course for the green fee without driving a couple hours in any direction and eating up alot of gas money. This is the La Purisima of Arcadia in my opinion. I grew up plaing at La Purisima and the only thing missing here is some elevation changes and the 40 mph winds that you get up there!!

Played fri 1/5... waited 60 min as a 2some... 5 hr round... WINDY day, rained the night before... course drained very well, i only found 2 wet spots on the whole course. I guess the work they did last year did it's job. Greens were slower than usual... maybe cuz of the rain. The staff is always pleasant. All in all, good day as always.
