Played on Thanksgiving, course in good shape. Excellent driving range included in the $125 green fee, a steal this time of year for a course this good in the Desert Area. Course was busy and we still made it in 4hours 15 minutes. Greens a little slow, front nine a few strokes harder than the back nine.

Played on Thanksgiving, course in good shape. Excellent driving range included in the $125 green fee, a steal this time of year for a course this good in the Desert Area. Course was busy and we still made it in 4hours 15 minutes. Greens a little slow, front nine a few strokes harder than the back nine. A good mixture of long holes and shorter ones, real short par 4 #11 and #15. Bunkers around greens were great for a change, fairway bunkers were good but for some reason some had weeds growing in them which was strange as the rest of the course is in great condition. Rough was not high at all but most holes if you miss playing area your ball is gone as vegetation is thick and not playable (or finding your ball) possible. Highly recommend if your going to try and play out in the Desert Area where many are over or closer to $200 during this time of year.

Hidden gem in the Antelope Valley. Private but I think sometimes public. Would play again. Food was great.
Would say more but just repeating earlier reviews.

Played last month, October 2025, but so old almost forgot to review it.

The third and final round of the Vegas trip was at Anthem Country Club on Wednesday. This is allegedly one of the higher end CC’s in the Vegas area. I will be as open minded as possible during this review and my comparison will be against other high end public courses in the area and not against the Uber elite Southern Highlands CC which I played the day before playing Anth... » More

The third and final round of the Vegas trip was at Anthem Country Club on Wednesday. This is allegedly one of the higher end CC’s in the Vegas area. I will be as open minded as possible during this review and my comparison will be against other high end public courses in the area and not against the Uber elite Southern Highlands CC which I played the day before playing Anthem.

I’ll start with the layout. Anthem has some of the widest fairways I have ever seen. It really begs a grip it and rip it attitude. Plenty of room for error in the landing zone with only the occasional bunker to disturb a tee shot that lands anywhere in the same zip code. Stray way way off path and your ball is in a creek or bare desert terrain separating the course from the surrounding houses. Plenty of modest elevation changes throughout the course but most holes are pretty straightforward. The course has a number of water hazards, but most are behind the green. Overall it was a decent layout similar to that of Serket or the two courses at The Revere Golf Club.

Greens at Anthem were very large. They had moderate undulations and rolled at a nice medium-fast pace. Fairways had some of the weirdest grass I’ve ever seen on a golf course. On the surface it looked fine but it had the tendency to grab your club in the worst way. On the other hand the rough was great. Only about 2” deep but lush and predictable.

Overall, Anthem is a nice course. Nothing super fancy but definitely enjoyable with decent playing conditions. I would put it on the same level (or a touch below) that of Serket.

Regarding recommending the course, I’d say there are better options (especially if you have to pay the ridiculously high “holiday week reciprocal fee” but if you get invited by a member who wants to treat you, don’t turn it down.

Early morning 4.5 hour round on a very green course. The staff faces are very familiar over the years and do a great job keeping things going. The practice facilities are good and conveniently located. The carts are probably about five years old with no GPS and some drive like an old Chevy. The tee boxes are all level with total coverage but were a little firm at times. Th... » More

Early morning 4.5 hour round on a very green course. The staff faces are very familiar over the years and do a great job keeping things going. The practice facilities are good and conveniently located. The carts are probably about five years old with no GPS and some drive like an old Chevy. The tee boxes are all level with total coverage but were a little firm at times. The rough is not very long where there is some and easy enough to hit from. The fairways have real nice coverage and were just cut earlier in the morning which left clippings everywhere. The over seeded fairways were covered with fertilizer as well and slightly damp. You would have to lift, clean and place nearly every shot. Many golfers were too lazy to fill their divots in the new growth fairway which was discouraging to see. The traps here have always been lacking sand and compact wet sand and dirt. They were no different today. The greens have really nice total coverage but were still a little bumpy from the fall maintenance, The greens held shots nicely and were extremely quick (we forgot how quick). There were a few ball marks but not too bad compared to the number of unfilled fairway divots. The lakes come into play on several holes and at times you have to deal with all the ducks and geese on the course. The rates were hiked up for the holiday weekend and the usual walking rate was not offered. The location and course conditions make this a good place for a round with the option of the two courses.

Course lush and in very nice over seeded condition. No longer all the time CPO, but still may be early morning or after a rain. Tees and fairways lush and well maintained. Still cut high, so less roll out than normal. Sand near immaculate. Rough mostly dormant, clumpy Bermuda mowed low. Lies can vary tremendously within a small area. Large Bermuda greens firm and medium quick. ... » More

Course lush and in very nice over seeded condition. No longer all the time CPO, but still may be early morning or after a rain. Tees and fairways lush and well maintained. Still cut high, so less roll out than normal. Sand near immaculate. Rough mostly dormant, clumpy Bermuda mowed low. Lies can vary tremendously within a small area. Large Bermuda greens firm and medium quick. Few ball marks. Restaurant good for a golf course. Customer service excellent both inside/outside the club. Practice facilities and the GPS on the carts both excellent. Men's lounge nice place to have a meal or get a drink with numerous big screen TV's in a friendly atmosphere. Newly renovated gym is a nice addition as well. Highly recommended.
