Tee'd off this morning at 7:00 am, and the overall conditions were great. The greens rolled smooth, fairways were nice & clean, and the course offered lush rough throughout the holes. Pace of play was fast. This course is definitely worth playing at least once :)

Played early this morning. Took advantage of the free birthday round special... I was the paying guest (happy bday big poppa...). staff was friendly and got us out pretty quick. Funny, I saw the GK plague in the proshop... pretty neat. Showed Bud my longest drive... 20 yards left in the bush! After I shook of the stage fright I managed to stay on the fairways! On to the course: course is in great condition. Teeboxes were leveled and well maintained. Fairways were nice and lush. Rough was pretty thick around the fairways and greens. If you're not straight or play your draw or fade right, you'll be going through several sleeves of balls. sand was nice, a little hard considering it was morning. Greens were fast and excellent. Pinplacements were a challenge. As the previous GKer wrote; not too many straight putts. And if you go at the pin it might roll away. Overall, course is in excellent shape. I'll definitely come back... next birthday is in DEC.

Played 8/7 for a free birthday round. The staff was friendly and very helpfull. The course is in great shape. The course is tough, you have to be pretty straight. The greens are pretty fast and not many are straight putts. If the pin is in the front, hit your second shot a little short. If you go at the pin and you don't spin the ball it will roll to the back. It is a fun course and it's beautiful. Make sure to bring extra golf balls. Bring plenty of water too, it get's pretty hot.

Course is in great shape. Tough course, but fun to play. Golf course staff was very helpful. Pace of play was great. I really enjoyed the golf aspects of the day. Non golf aspects were not as pleasant. Lots of construction for the new club house, things seemed on the verge of chaos and non golf staff was indifferent to customers.

Overall, the course is in excellent shape considering hot summer conditions on a daily basis. The greens are smooth, not as fast as times I've played there previously and brown in a few spots. Fairways, tee boxes & rough were all lush. Traps are well maintained with nice sand. The ESA areas are close to play on every hole and punitive. Our 4some was all 8-12 handicappers and we had probably 25? cumulative penalty strokes, so bring plenty of golf balls. The practice facility is top notch. you hit off grass with areas to putt and chip in addition to full shots.

Greens are TOUGH. Very subtle breaks and you have to play it. Not used to it considering I played Victoria a few days earlier. No comparison. Read the breaks and play it or fail miserably. One thing though fixed more than my fair share of divots. Why others don't repair their marks is beyond me. Greens were a little on the slow side compared to playing here previously but still rolled true and very tricky. Fairways in tip top shape. Rough was shaggy and very sticky. ESA EVERYWHERE so beware the errant shot. Agressive is not the answer; placement is. Was working my irons fairly well and should have used them instead of spraying ball with driver. Oh well save it for next time in cooler climes. Definately a return is in order.

I played Angeles National yesterday with Ringworld and Nickesquire1. In the heat of the summer, Angeles National still played beautifully. Greens were slower then when I have played this course in the past but still rolled smooth. There were a few greens where players need to do a much better job fixing their ball marks although. The fairways were exceptional as usual and the rough very lush in most places although a little thin in others. The sand traps were a bit disappointing in that half had excellent sand and the other half had very firm sand. Regarding the tee boxes, they were lush and level as expected. Overall, I was very pleased with the playing conditions on what I feel is a fabulous layout. I took some snaps of the clubhouse. Looks like it should be in place by the end of the year…Finally! The pace of play was outstanding as we finished in 4 hours as well as the service as we saw the cart girl 4 times on a weekday afternoon. Overall, I give the course a big thumbs up!

BTW - They've got the new EZ-GO carts and they ride like a dream.

Teed off early morning 7-18-08. The course is in very good shape overall, but I've seen it better. Fairways were good, fringe areas cut nicely. Some of the tee boxes were being aerated, and the greens were much more pockmarked than is typical - and they were rolling on the slow side; at least by this course's standards. The staff here still does a great job though; even though there weren't a lot of players out this a.m. there were marshals on the course, and they even put out a nice little gratis breakfast spread. OJ, pastries, cereal, fruit and coffee. A nice touch.

Played 7/15. Walked on as a single at 400 pm and finished all 18 holes by 745 pm. The course was fairly empty and I actually didn't catch up to anyone in front of me until the 8th hole. Everyone was gracious enough to allow me to pass through and I never had to join up with another group. The course was in great shape and the weather was hot but not unbearable. My one contention is that it is hard as heck to get the greens to hold your approach. Numerous times I landed within 5 ft. of the hole but due to the greens my ball ended up 20-25 ft. away. For a long hitter, I forgot how much wasteland comes into play. It seems that every hole there was some sort of wasteland in my landing area around 300 yds. out. The GPS is spot on but I still hit driver when I should've been hitting a 5 wood or hybrid. Once you play this course once it really allows you to understand where you need to be off the tee and where you are going to get into trouble.

This was my second time playing here and I improved from an 89 the first time out about 6 mos. ago to an 82 yesterday, which included 5 shots OB!

This is a fun course and for $50 twilight you really can't beat it. I know Brookside is $35 for the same time slot but you will be lucky to get 12 holes in before darkness there, while at ANGC you will invariably always get 18 in my dark. I would recommend this course to everyone and GK is right, it does have the best playing conditions in LA Co.

greens are still 2 weeks away. bumpy and not fully repaired. not worth the $120 they started charging again. overall the course is good, the greens are just taking too long to get back.

Toughest course w/ prime conditions relative to the Los Angeles area. It has a desert resort style feeling like nice courses in AZ such as Legacy. Staff is unbelievably accomodating and does everything possible to keep your round under 4:30. To top it off, the course is challenging, beautiful, and maintained well for a public course. A bit pricey, but well worth the premium. Bring a box of balls and your A-game as this course is known to frustrate first timers.

Some course knowledge is definitely beneficial here. There are shots from both the tee and fairway that appear overly tight, but when you get out there there is some room for a shot to wander a bit. Conversely, there are many others that deceive you into thinking the intended landing area is generous where there is trouble all around if you are even 5 yards offline. Good rule of thumb here....if you think you have plenty of room, bet that you actually don't once you see the entire hole.

After having seen the course once before, I scored 9 shots better. 3 fewer penalty strokes and 4 fewer putts, both of which could be attritibuted to much more conservative play on some of the more severe holes.

Played on their B-Day special, thanks to both Angeles National and Ttucker2 for making that possible. The greens were very firm and fast, as smooth rolling as you will find anywhere with sometimes severe break. The fairways, tees and rough were improved (if that's possible) over when I played there last month in a GK Tournament. The sand traps are probably the best of any course I have ever played. Not only fine quality sand but hardly a spot anywhere that isn't freshly raked. Maintanence wise, you will be hard pressed to play a better public course anywhere.

Excellent course. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in excellent condition. Tee boxes are very lush and level. Fairways are very lush and provide good lies. Greens are very smooth and fast. Sand is loose and white. Excellent for explosion shots. The practice facility is outstanding. Hitting from grass. Several practice putting greens, that are consistent with the speed of the course's greens. Chipping area also. A challanging track with many well placed bunkers, water, and OB every where. Fairways tend to be narrow to average. A beautiful desert style course. Primarily flat. Ball placement is a must. No room for error. Recommended only for better players. The best in the city. Bring your A+ game. GPS on carts was excellent.

Worth about $60, not $120. Environmental areas too penal for hackers. If you can't hit it 100 yards in the air off the tee then don't play here. My hacker buds suffered about a dozen balls each. The rough isn't thick enough to stop a well hit ball from rolling into the environmental restricted area (lateral hazard).

GPS carts were nice, and the beer cart was there whenever we wanted.

Greens were true, smooth, very firm and very undulating. Couldn't get anything to stop dead on the green, but roll up was almost always an option.

Fast pace...we played in 4:10 and the GPS was bugging us about falling behind. Part of the fast pace is due to not allowing anyone to look for balls hit outside the grassy areas.

Keep this one on your radar players. ANGC has the makings of a great public facility. I really don't mind spending the extra cash when a staff member is ready to cater to almost my every need. But the trailer has to go, and the Andy gumps although I
have to admit are the best Andy Gumps I have ever had the displeasure to use. I just received a promo card because I played during the week to come back in May either the 6th, 7th, 8th. or 14th for $55 btwn 11am and 1:50pm. Its a steal. No advanced fee apply, I guess they think there will be alot of play. So book your time and play once during the week and get the $55 rate coupon. I heard they are Aerifing May 27th.

Not much to add to previous posts-
a] Customer service is perfect. I sat at the check in table for over an hour and observed the same commitment from the staff for all players- GK event or no. Hustling late arrivers to #1; shuttling golfers down to the range- very supportive.
b] The layout of the course is not too difficult- as long as you are not cutting across the ball as I was and pull hooking 75% of your shots. 2nd time out I'm certain golfers will figure out where to land the approach for shorter putts- and yes I'll go back out there.
c] If a Santana wind is blowing- best to add min +5 strokes to your goal. The course was down that day. However, it sits in a wind funnel along the 210 and butts up the mountains. With an east wind, it'll be a dervish.

Glad for the chance to finally get to ANCC- it's reputation preceded and actually exceeded my expectations.

Angeles National, you're a great course; let me count the ways. . . Ten for Greens. They are tricky, roll true but boy you need to know how to run that ball up. Aggressive shots are rarely rewarded. Run up and be happy you're playing percentage golf. Ten for fairways, it's green and lush; not a thin spot in sight. Even the Rough (Ten Also) is thick and sticky but can and does hold a ball running off the green -- just beware of the ESA. Course is in brilliant shape. Not much change from view to view but honestly course conditions at this moment are for lack of a better word -- fabulous. Thanks to the GK staffers that helped out in the event. Thanks to Cheryl and Bud who helped keep out merry band moving. Thanks to the all the staff of ANGC that made this even possible. Good value golf for playing during the week. Great and soon to be greater staff/facilities with their clubhouse scheduled to be up by October 2008. Can't wait until then. Oh yeah be sure if you land in a waste area that you can ground your club but more imporantly expect the ground to be thin so be sure to swing through.

Angeles National on April 10th, first day of the Masters 2008, and I was so glad I played this very challenging course which made me really appreciate what the PGA Tour goes through at Agusta National. (Well... In my mind it was... :=) )

I've only played this course one other time and this time I believe that the course conditions were as good as a course can be! Angeles National out did themselves and are very impressive with their crew routine.

True, this is a type of course, you need to keep it in play at all times or the stride of pace might take a bit of a hiccup.

Part with the ball if this happens and stay focus in the game and best to enjoy the day. That's just sort of an Angeles National way!

This course is not one to take a grudge on, however, it is one to challenge again... ....and again ....and again!

Test it yourself in its current great conditions! You'll see...

As soon as you we arrived, we were treated in such a courteous manner, bags were carried to our cart, and they informed us of our tee time as well as directed us to the practice facility.

Practice facility: As described by Steve663, this is one of the best practice areas I have ever practiced on...the range had great target areas to work on your short game, great chipping greens, and "super fast" greens to work on your putting stroke.

Tee Box & Fwy: The tee boxes were spectacular, other golf courses should take notes and place small "collection" tee containers for those who always seem to throw their tees on the tee box area. The fairways were lush, gave you lots of roll (I was averaging 260 yds with my 3i off the tee on the short par 4s), and I didn't see any bare spots at all. Long hitters, "LEAVE YOUR DRIVER IN THE BAG", this course is very penal due to ESA areas so you must have good course management and play "target" golf. Otherwise, expect your scores to climb up quickly.

Greens & Traps: The greens were very fast, probably a 10-12 on the stimp...the pin placements were very tough and it was difficult to hold the ball on these greens as they weren't very receptive unless you hit a nice high fade (a la Jack Nicklaus). Three putts were very easy to add to your reportoire of shots on this course, so my advice is adjust to the speed of the greens on the practice green area if your short on time prior to your tee time. Found only (1) bunker and the sand was plentiful, as a matter of fact it had too much soft sand....my ball buried in the trap allowing me to only see about 20% of the ball.

Staff: The staff went above and beyond my expectations, they were very friendly, really treated us as VIPs (something that lacked at Trump National), and the hostess Sheryll is very beautiful and someone I'd like to go play a few rounds of golf with instead of being stuck with OSCA1961 for 5 hours..LOL...I was very impressed with the staff. I'm not sure when the clubhouse will be finished, but the design looks spectacular.

As other GKers have mentioned, course knowledge (this was my first time here) is definitely a must if you want to play well. I'll be back now that I'm somewhat familiar with the lay out.

First time, maybe last time. Agree with most of previous postings, However, I had a good day of ball striking and got nothing out of it. Greens while fast and smooth and very tricky are like concrete right now. Hit them anywhere near the pin and you will be long in the rough,,, Bunkers were filled with new sand, beware,, dont go in there, you might loose your shoes. Great layout,, great customer service, but not very enjoyable for my first time. Its not that hard,, but,, very frustrating approach shots. Not recommended for high hdcprs.... I will return, but not for awhile.

You have to hit it straight here otherwise you will find yourself taking a lot of one stroke penalties. The practice facility impressed me the most. It is rare to play on such nice greens. I think they should eliminate those orange areas(where you get a free drop) and make them either hazards or just get rid of them. If you really want to improve your short game practice here!

Greens were a little firm for my taste....took a little while to get used to...the fairways were in great shape and gave plenty of roll.

The best thing I can say is that I didn't lose any golf balls.

Current rating is about right....course knowledge is key to scoring well here.

The course was in great shape today. Greens were hard to hold, and were very Augusta like as far as the speed and touch. All in all, the staff was top notch in reception upon arrival and throughout the day. The challenge is great!!!

Played in GK outing on 4/10. One of the 5 most challenging courses I have ever played overall. No part of the course, from tee to green to trap to rough was not well above average to excellent. The greens were firm and fast with many slopes and tough pin positions. Tee boxes, fairways and rough were all lush and well maintained. The ESA on this course is VERY punitive, it comes into play on every hole, on some hole on both sides from tee to green. And it's closer to the fairway that most courses, anything outside the cartpath is considered in the ESA and a penalty stroke. Definitely not a course for beginners, even good to excellent players will struggle here. Would like to play again now that I've seen the course, several holes you are unsure of where to aim off the tee or what club to hit. A shot makers course, many par 4's probably are NOT driver holes unless you are pretty darn straight and accurate with the big stick.

the greens were lightly sanded 5 days ago, so the greens are very hard and a little on the dry side. They are also slower than normal. Overall, great weather and a good day other than taking 4.5 hours to play on a Friday morning. We were a foursome being held up by a twosome! Nice job of marshalling out there boys!

I have played this course a few times, mostly in the summer (August). I actually like the ESAs, as they focus your need to keep it in play, and hat definitely makes you play better. That said, I hope the next casual outing there I can post the MOST balls lost. And the MOST birdies. I like a challenge. Oh, yeah ----- and the MOST CIGARS smoked in a round ... my personal best is (5) ..... ask kviser ......

This is a typical Jack Nicklaus overpriced, underwhelming golf course. It's too tough for high handicappers who spend lots of time trying to find their lost balls, which slows things down if you dare try to play it on a weekend. Comapared to other courses within a reasonable drive (say, 45mins- an hour) it comes up woefully short. Jack designs very tough golf courses, and the staff does not require anyone to play from the correct tees, which for most golfers who aren't delusional...are not the back or the way-back tees. Of course, most golfers want to see "all" the course, and what they wind up seeing is "all" of the waste areas.
I have played this course about 5 times. Every time I have gone, there was another price increase...until I just walked away when they tried to charge "Holiday" rates a couple of days after New Years (not a weekend). There is no way this course can ever be worth $120 to play it when Sandpiper is that price, and Industry Hills, Lost Canyons, and Robinson Ranch all cost less. It isn't sour grapes...I shot a 78 there last time. I just don't get this course or why people rave about it.

Played on Saturday, Feb. 9th. Paired with a fun father & son and had a wonderful time. A little slower than usual, but that had mostly to do with the hacker group in front of us. Course is in fabulous condition, save the rock hard bunkers with the confusing occasional soft spot. Driving range needs to move, as many stations allowed only to practice your hard-pan and dirt play. Great service, great round. If cost is a concern, twilight starts earlier than most courses (12:30pm)

I found the course to be in its usual excellent condition. Greens were not running as fast as I remember...which is a good thing...but fast enough and very smooth. Fairways were mostly lush and firm. Rough was mostly lush yet thin at times (1 to 1 1/2 inch high). Sand Traps were on the firm side but well kept. Tee boxes in great shape. Our pace of play was 4 1/2 hours.

Something I certainly noticed and liked was the on course service. I saw ball spotters on a couple holes and these people always politely asked how we were doing. They were keeping the pace of play moving more so by assisting rather then reprimanding. At the end of the round, the cart guys did not jump on our clubs to start cleaning them, but rather asked us first if we would like them cleaned. Nice! I can't stand when they jump on the clubs and start cleaning them and the next thing you know you're feeling pressured to tip...which I always tip anyway :) Oh - we also saw the cart girl 4 times. This is they kind of service I like to see at a highend golf course.

Shot an 85 today which I was pleased with. The course is very tight and the greens very challenging. Looking forward to my next round there.

The course played fast for the 1st 9 and then slowly backed up on the back 9. The bunkers at most were difficult to hit out of as the sand was too hard. Otherwise the course was true to design.

Played 12/15/07. Course was in great condition considering the cold snap. This is a fair course for those familiar with it. It is tough, however, and not for higher handicaps (as I learned!) If your ball is not in play, it will be lost...as will your game. I will return as my game improves and look forward to my birthday when I can play for free. Otherwise, this track is overpriced compared to other quality courses.

i have played this course numerous times. all in all, great golf course. maintanance crew does a superb job. too bad golf course was built in a wash. too many "boulders" in some of the bunkers. "natural habitat" issues are a problem. hit one errant tee shot, forget about it. you try and go and retrieve it, marshalls on your booty telling you to get out. then you see the same guy in the habitat looking for balls. late afternoons are the worst. no marshalling going on, but i guess its easter at angeles everyday in the late afternoons. mornings arent bad, strong crew opening crew. now these guys are marshalls. usually will finish a round in less than 4 hours. i do see guys in the habitat in the morning as well, but they know when to stop searching when play starts to get heavy.

from tee to green, i give it a b+. its not mostly the courses fault. i would have given it an a but no one fixes there divots on the fairways. pitch marks galore on the greens. especially on the 3 pars. how hard is it to take out a divot tool or tee and fix the darn thing. only takes 3 seconds!!! they really have to do something about the rocks in the bunkers. someone will really hurt themselves one of these days.

Very challenging. Most holes are fair. Condition always good. First rate course - one of the best of publicly-available courses in LA area, but it isn't for 20 handicappers or worse. Single digit handicaps and low double digit handicaps are best off here. Barbeque food at the turn is great. Pricey course - $110 + on weekends. Holes could be a bit more memorable for this price.

I played this past Monday, a few weeks after their reseeding. The course was in as good of condition as I've experienced on a golf course. It's a challenging course from the blues. On Monday's they offer a Senior Rate of $55, which includes a premium hot dog and drink. The back nine got a little slow, as some players are allufe to the groups behind them. Perfect day to play on a perfect course. The staff seemed to be very pleasant as well. I had a great day on the links!

The fairways are a little thin and need some time to come back from overseed. The greens are really rolling beautifully, but the key here is to stay below the hole!

Played midday today. The course is in very good shape overall. The greens are receptive, smooth and fast. The greens still have too many ball marks, however - people simply have to fix them when they make 'em. The course is playing pretty hard and fast right now - what I think are optimum conditions.

still lovin' this beauty.
this is my home course since june and have now broken 80 4 times.
that still doesn't change the fact that it is impossible to avoid the nature.

conditions are awesome.

tees are doing fine

fairways are doing fine - some browning but no bare spots.

rough can still come up a bit. i'd love to see all rough at 3"
some clumpy areas but hey, it's the rough. pay the price for a bad shot.
inspire yourself to learn how to hit on clumpy areas. the pros have to do it

greens are rolling out well. in reference to the lack of hardness comments, the course is maturing now so the base is settled and not so new and hard like it was in it's first few years. if they wanted the greens to be a good 11 or 12 stimp, they'd have to dry them out which is not good for people who drag their feet as well as the maintanence neglect to do so would ruin them. believe me when i say, that it is good the greens are more receptive. bent grass is great putting grass but requires a lot of care. because this course, as difficult as it is, brings out some really bad golfers, it's better the greens are maintained for more managable conditions over challenging conditions.

for the price, you can't get a better round.

the clubhouse is in production too and should be done by next spring/summer. looking forward to a post round beer on the patio.

cheers

Played twilight today. Tee to green, the course rates A- right now. Tee boxes, bunkers, fairways, all are in good shape. The greens, however, I'd rate B+ right now. There are a lot of ball marks, and the speed is medium-fast. I've played this course since its inception, and early on, the greens were very hard to hold and were very, very fast. Now, the greens are far more receptive, but the speed is down a bit. Still, for a $50 twilight rate, this is one of the best courses in the region.

Played labor day weekend in 4 hrs. Has been very hot but course holding up well. Some thin areas in fairways but greens are good. Marshalls seem to be really trying hard to keep up pace of play which in the past has been a problem. My only minor complaint, took 12 holes to see the cart girl and it was well over 100 degrees. Then they sent her to lunch for an hour at 1pm.

Played on 8-27 in the afternoon. The overall course condition is good. However, there are many areas on the fairway that are extremely thin. Many, many tight lies near the greens. Because the area surrounding the greens was so hard and thin, it was often easier to put, rather than chip from 10 or 15 yards off the green. Also, the greenside bunkers (found two of them) were like concrete. Very little sand, mostly hard dirt. The greens were pretty fast and true. However, there are way too many unrepaired ball marks.

Softest condition I have seen in 2 years -- I actually made ball marks on these greens; slow compare to regular lightning fast condition we are used to. Becareful when you are in the bunkers -- there are large embedded rocks and it can cause some damage to your irons. The greens run very true overall. The GPS was off by 20 yeards on some holes and we had to rely on our range finder. Definitely worth the money. Also a good place to see some celebrities on weekends. Most par 5s are reachable in two so trust your clubs. Forget the Blue tee, just go for black. Can't wait for next round here again..

Played twilight Aug 25. The course is in B+ condition right now, but B+ here is equal to "A" anywhere else. The greens are a little splotchy and pock marked, so they're not rolling quite as smoothly or quickly as usual. If you've never played here before, you have to come in assuming that any balls hit along the edge of the fairways can easily kick into the hazards. Balls take hard bounces here and there's a lot of release. Finally, I read TrojanDan's post below about the service here. He must've caught everyone on a bad day because I think the service here is very good. I have never had a problem. For example, there was beverage cart service last night until 7p - you don't see that very often.

Wonderful course condition, play here as often as I can. Two big problems, the course is very monotonous, many holes (6 and 9 / 4 and 15) are exact replications of each other. Also, the staff is absolutely terrible. Bad attitudes, poorly informed, generally sour people - entirely unhelpful.

Played Aug 14. The course is in very good condition, and if you haven't been here before, it plays hard and fast. Expect a lot of roll off tight fairways, and there isn't any rough to speak of - hit it in the wrong spot and there isn't anything to slow your ball from rolling into the hazards. If it's your first trip, I'd strongly recommend playing below all the hole locations and to expect a lot of release and rollout. Service is very good here, and because of the GPS system, most rounds finish in about 4hrs 15min. I think it's one of the premier courses in LA County. Picking a line off the tee can make the round seem frustrating, but the more you play here, the easier it gets.

Great course and always in great condition. Course needs some real rough on the fairways...it's not penalizing at all if you miss the fairway unless of course you end up in the rocky hazards.

Course is really in Fantastic Condition. Would play here more often if it wasn't so hard. Big time target golf. The forced carries arent that big a deal, none TOO long. But a slight mi sh$t or faulty alignment and you're in an environmental area. Don't get me wrong, i love tough courses, but Angeles can get frustrating at times. Be prepared to bring a variety of shots with you as you will be forced to use them all, and than some.

Still great track, great conditon. When I get to be a better golfer, I'll come back.

I played on Aug. 5th, and this course is in awesome condition. You can't find a divot on the fairway, the tee boxes are in excellent condition, the greens run smooth but are slower than expected, and the course itself is clean throughout, including the lake. One other thing, the customer service is excellent and the employees do a good job by checking to make sure no player enters the environmental sensitive areas, thereby speeding up play; My twosome finished in 3.5 hours :)

Played on Sunday 7/29/07. Had a 12:50 pm starting time - but they our threesome us out early at 12:30 p.m. Finished at 4:15p.m. Staff very nice and helpful.

My son played for free since it was his birthday.

Course was in very good condition. This is a very tough course - at least for me. Course knowledge is essential. You must keep your ball in the fairway or else you are going to lose a lot of balls and take many penalty strokes.

This is not a course for a high handicap golfer.

I will come back when I am a better player.

Played on Thursday 6/21. This course is my favorite. Very challenging and beautiful all in the same drive. Fairways are a premium, they are in excellent condition. The greens are in very good condition as they are still maturing from being punched at the beggining of the month. They have some areas on the greens that look to be water damage, but they still roll true and fast.
The GPS in the cart is a wonderful thing. Prolink is the GPS system they use and it is the feeling of having a true digital caddy with you. Everyone who uses it that day gets on a leaderboard to see where they are compared to all of the other golfers that use the scorecard. It is like being on TV in the PGA tour.
It gives u yardage to every hazard, front and back of the green, green sizes and flag placements. This thing is sweet. Every course should install this type of GPS system in their carts. (ooohkaay might be alil overboard) But the system is good.
Man can't wasit to go back.

PS.
The employees were very helpful and provided good cutomer service. Yes we put them to the test and they came through.

Really well maintained course. Kinda pricey for a course with a portable building as the club house. Seriously, how long does it take to build a clubhouse? 3 years? Well its been over three years buddies and your price is high. Build it and they will still come, and be able to chill after a round with a couple of beers and you will make more money. Nicely maintained course though.

Played 6/17 twilight. Course pretty empty, fairways and tees outstanding as always. Some of the sand traps were verry firm, not what you would expect from this course. Greens have been airrated, putted verry slow, and were not reseptive. Should be back to normal in a couple of weeks. Look forward to returning.

I played here for the first time on 6/1 and loved it. This is a great course, in great condition. The greens are very, very true. This course would be much more fun the second time as some local knowledge would help. The fairways are extremely hard and the ball takes a huge bounce when it lands on the hard pan, so it's too easy to roll off the fairway into a hazard...even with a decent tee-shot. Still though, I'd really like to return!

Played this morning. Virtually every area of the course is in good condition. The only exception is the greens. They still rolled fairly quick and fairly smooth, and I don't know if there's a fungus growing or not, but most of the greens were fairly splotchy. I've seen it better and quicker here. Still, very playable and a pleasant round. We finished in just over 4hrs., so the pace was excellent. Certainly one of the top public venues in SoCal, and probably the best conditioned facility overall.

played on 5/24.
i do love this course. i've seen it in better aesthetic condition but it was
still in excellent playing condition.

aesthetically, the greens had some turf issues but they still rolled true and smooth.

tees were fine.

fairways needed a haircut but the mower was out there
so i'm sure it's all good.

rough in my opionion should be higher. there isn't much of it do to
the natural areas really being the "non-fairway" element of this course.
and having the rough at 3" might just slow balls down just enough to keep them from going into the natural areas all the time.

in all, the course is great and a challenge for me. i'm dying to break 80 here.

if you are anything above a 15 handicap, PLEASE play from the whites.

Finally got to play Angeles National: one course on 'my list' which had elluded me for years ... and what a treat. In a nutshell, it's target golf with large, fast greens and lot's of 'environmental areas' to contend with. Not very long but course knowledge is imperative. Some blind landing areas but a state-of-the-art GPS system helps a lot. Still, must play it a few times to get the feel. Need to bring your 'A' game to score well ... or extra balls for anything less. Right up there with IH as a LA area public venue that provides a true test of your game. Can't wait to come back ... I can only imagine the torture if you play it on a hot, windy afternoon :)

Many CC's would aspire to be in this shape. Course is pristine. Gets a little tight in spots; but, overall a good test of your game. As a senior, the price is definitely right; and, if you play on Monday or Tuesday, they also give you free lunch with your greens fee! High handicappers neeed to bring extra balls - you WILL lose some!

Truly a gem for So. Cal. golfers....but take heed and read prior reviews...this is not a course for the high-handicapper. I'm a "medium" handicapper (currently a 15) - and "bogey-golf" was as good as I could do out there today. I should have followed my own advice and played from the white tee-boxes...but I was playing with two fellows who were playing from the black stones...and - well...you know how it goes! My putter kept this from being a 100+ round (I shot a legit 91 with one adjustment for a "snowman"). The guys I played with knew the course pretty well...local knowledge can save your a$$ - especially on approach shots and green "breaks". They were telling me that the greens were very sandy (they were pretty sandy, I don't know when they were "punched") and much slower than usual. Well...if today was a "slow greens" day - I'd hate to see what downhill putts look like on a "speedy" day!!! Being above the hole is no picnic on the greens of Angeles National!!

Even though I played terribly, I enjoyed this track. I won't be heading back there for any more torture until I work on my game and get my driver straightened out! But the conditions are great, the layout is tricky, but fair.

And...don't be a hero. Play from the whites if you're a "fifteen" like me!

Excellent track. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens, were in excellent condition. The practice facility is outstanding. A chananging track with many well placed bunkers and narrow fairways. Recommended only for good players. Not a course for a average golfer. The best in the city.

Played twilight on 4-21. The course is in very good condition; the greens were a little slower than usual due to the rainstorm on Friday. Due to the lack of rain this year, the fairways are pretty hard and fast, so if you've never played here, be prepared for some run - especially if you take some risky lines off the tee. The first time I played here, I basically hated it. Of course, I didn't know where to hit the ball, and the first generation GPS system they had was fairly worthless. Now, after having played here many more times, and with the help of a top notch GPS system, I really like this course a lot. There aren't any cheap holes, and the hole variety is really good. A few blind shots, but not too many to annoy you, and picking the right line off the tee always is an interesting challenge. With all the forced carries, wind and sizeable greens (which make for a lot of interesting pin locations), this course requires fades, draws, punches (when the wind is up) and anything else you have. If you're looking for a course where you can run the ball up to the green though, this is not the course for you.

Played yesterday, greens are fast way fast even the pros that we were paired up said that they were fast. Fairways are green but hard so you'll get a far bounce. Course is recovering nicely from aeration. Playing great! Fast and true greens.

Played this course on April 12th, with intense winds and a chill in the air complicating this already tough and narrow course. The conditions were very fierce, and in windy conditions, the tee shots are barely even fare. On the majority of the par 4s and 5s, if you stray just a little bit right or left, your ball is gone. The key to scoring well on this course is to keep your tee ball accurate. The course itself is in great shape; the greens might be a touch brown in areas, but they roll true and it was a real pleasure to hit irons into them and have the ball stick. Like someone mentioned before, the pin placements get a little ridiculous at times. When the greens are enormous, there's no need to place a pin two steps from the rough. Sandtraps were on the fluffy side. This is a very scenic course, and the design team did a terrific job turning this dry riverbed into the challenging course it is today. Definitely worth the twilight rate, and possibly the weekday rate, but not at all worth $100 a round. Bring a couple extra sleeves when you come to this course; you'll be losing a few balls, even if you hit some pretty decent drives, which is frustrating.

The problem is getting to the driving range from the clubhouse and finding anyone that works there that isn't a kid. I have been going there for over 3 years and still, NO CLUBHOUSE! My foursome plays there a lot and we are kinda getting tired of paying the rate without any clubhouse, grill room, showers, etc. These greens must be what it is like on the PGA Tour! They are so fast and true, I might need to take a putting lesson. Their GPS system seems to be right on and the rangers are helpful.

By the way, it appears that the greens were aerated with a small tine aerator and lightly sanded. It really did not affect the roll and should grow in pretty quickly.

I played here on Wednesday, 3/21/07. Course was in great shape from tee to green. Nicely mowed fairways, short rough, smooth greens and good quality sand in bunkers. Course personnel were friendly and helpful. Looking for lost balls is discouraged here as the course is situated in a natural area. All of your golf shots here are to fairly tight targets, so accuracy is important.

Played this challenging course for the first time in a couple of months and realized I had missed it. We got the round finished in 4 hours even, but we had some waits on some holes.
We were a little miffed when THREE (not one or two) marshalls descended on us over only two holes and tried to push our pace of play when we had people waiting in front of us and were playing ready golf. The "bum rush" cost me at least a stroke when I hurried a 4-iron on my second shot on a par five with the marshall having followed us down the fairway after we hit our tee shots. I just didn't feel comfortable and I hacked it about 150 yards down the fairway instead of my usual 185.
I was out with my regular group and we usually play about twice a week and get our rounds in fairly quickly-so it's not like we are the type of people that need close supervision. You would think the marshalls would have noted that after we all hit our tee shots in to the fairway and got right out there to hit our second shots.
maybe they were just under some pressure, I don't know because I have never encountered that there before and I have played there quite few times.
Anyway, the course is in its usual great shape and I would recommend a round there to someone anytime!

I showed up on a Friday morning, 8am, as a single, and got out right away. Staff were VERY helpful and polite. Only drawback was "carts on cart path only," but I understand they just had aeration and overseeding. Course was a treat to play! Starter politely warns you about not walking into the arroyo to retrieve balls. I must admit that I went in it once. With the cart on the path way over on one side of the fairway, and me on the other side, having just shanked one into the arroyo, and not having another ball with me to play, I went in after it. Got caught. Marshall saw me go in (they have eyes everywhere). He gently admonished me not to go in the arroyo again ("its a safety issue"). My bad. I appreciate the attentive staff out on the course keeping everything moving smoothly. In short, Angeles National is a MUST play for every serious golfer.

LET'S START WITH PHIL THE STARTER. I FELT SO BACK FOR THE GUY. FIRST THING I SAW WHEN I WALKED INTO THE PRO SHOP "CART PATH ONLY". I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS ON THE PHONE WHEM I MADE THE RESERVATION. OK I DRIVE 51 MILES TO A GREAT COURSE THAT HAS A GREAT GPS SYSTEM AMD THEN WHEN I ARRIVED "HELLO" CART PATH ONLY. BACK TO PHIL. THE OTHER 2 SUM WE PLAYED WITH GAVE PHIL A EARFULL ABOUT THE CART PATH ONLY RULE. ITS NOT HIS FALT THAT THE PEOPLE THAT TAKE THE TEE TIMES DON'T HAVE THE BRAINS TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THE NO CARTS ON FAIRWAYS RULE. I MUST SAY THAT THE STAFF IS 100% BETTER THEN THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE. THE COURSE IS IN GREAT SHAPE FROM TEE BOXES TO FAIRWAYS TO TRAPS AND THE GREENS ARE TRUE. FAST AND QUICK. THE OTHER THING I HAD A PROBLEM WITH WAS ALL THE MARKERS ON THE TEES WHERE PUT TOGETHER. SO WE JUST PLAYED FROM THE YARD MARKERS ON THE TEE BOXES. GREAT COURSE. CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF. JUST REMEMBER HAVE A OPEN MIND AND YOU WILL ENJOY YOURSELF.

Played at 11:00 am Friday the 6th and finished in about 4:20 in a threesome. We had to wait on several holes and could have finished in 4 hours or less otherwise. I have played here many times and I must say that the course is not in quite a good a shape as I have seen in the past. The tee boxes were a bit rough, and I had several shots in the fairway where there was grass, but it was "hard pan". greens were fast and true as usual-which is good to be able to rely on. In addition, some hard spots around the greens made for a couple of ridiculous bounces on lofted shots that really weren't what I believe the designer intended. I guess the course shape was dictated by a the hot weather, I trust it will soften up and be in better shape once the rains begin.
I din't have any service problems, and the Starter was friendly as he usually is. I saw the Marshall several times while playing so I felt like he was available if needed.

Very poor attitude from staff and that was better than the attitude from the manager. The poor service started in the pro shop, was furthered by the starter, continued with the marshals/spotters, maintained by the grill staff in the single wide trailer and finally sunk to new lows with a manager who basically said "so what" when told about the level of service. While the course is good, the overall experience has "taken the bloom off the rose". I would be very hard pressed to return to this course at any price.

Greens were slashed and sanded last week but are in pretty good shape. Tee boxes rough but course still in good shape overall for end of summer. Should be in great shape in coming weeks barring any problems.

ANGC is in great condition, and a great course to play. It is not crowded & a round took aprox 4 hours. The only thing that I didn't like was the fact that they are still in the process of building a clubhouse, and currently are using moblie trailer like setup. I would have thought the green fees would be discounted since they lacked nice ammenities, even though they did the best they could with what they have, but it wasn't. Once the set up is completed, I'm sure the ammenities & service will be much better, and ANGC will be worth the $100 per round.

Now I understand why this course is rated #1. WOW! Great design. Tough and challenging yet allows for even some errant shots. Greens were some of the best I have putted in my life. Very true. Some green discoloration but that was it. Balls rolled very true. Fairways were in wonderful shape. Tee boxes were not overly used. Sand boxes were hard to get out of but the sand was good so it gave you half a chance. Rough was well rough. It offered you a chance to make up on a bad tee drive but it only paid dividends if you could excute. I guess you get what you pay for. This course is definately on my hit list of favorites I have played. Would play again only to get my revenge. Great way of evening out play since starter had us start on Back 9 first with the front 9 to follow. Sorry about the slow play guys if you were behind us. Overall though I was impressed and my rating proves it. Cheers to a great and very hospitable staff!!! Thanks Steve :D

what can you say, the same thing really. course plays the same except the greens are nowhere as fast as they have been in the past. fun to play, but not worth the weekend money and the almost 5 hour round.

Played mon 7/3. Tee time at 6:40, teed off at 6:50, 4 1/2 hrs, but should have been faster... so anyone playing today after 7:30, and were backed up, sorry... our fault... we were joined up with a twosome that probably shot 220 between the both of them, and they were slow. Anyways... course in excellent shape.

Tough course. It has been a year since I played here, The GPS is brand new and is great. The greens were great. A bit too firm, with shots rolling off off. The sandtraps were okay. Either packed from watering or a bit too much rocks. Hot day but beats working. This course should be playing like a 8.5.

Played 6/29/06 @ 11:30am and it was over 100 degrees, yet because of the breeze, didn't feel that bad. The course was in OK condition. Disappointed with the greens, not that they were bad, just not good! Too slow! There is nothing wrong with the course and if you hit it straight, actually plays pretty easy. (If you hit it crooked, watch out! ) I guess I'm a traditionalist, because I like looking down the fairway and on most of the tees, you only see fragments of fairway ... not my style, but ok for a change of pace.

The course is in great shape. Fairways and greens are in great shape. Greens are fast and firm, but will hold most shots. Long and straight is the name of the game here at this course. Love it!!!

Played on 6/15 with a 7:00 am tee time. We were able to finish in 4 hours. Conditions were fairly good. Greens were soft in the morning but got real hard later in the morning once it got hot. Bunkers were inconsistent (some soft and fluffy, some hardpacked). This course requires accurate shots or else you're in environmently sensitive areas (rocky, desert area). You're not allowed to find your lost balls in these areas plus there were lots of posted warning signs about rattlesnakes and poision oak/ivy. Bring extra balls. There were lots of rabbits and roadrunners on the course. Course is in the process of building regular bathrooms (only had porta potty on the course) and a permanent clubhouse. Didn't particularly like the course for the price. Only reason played here because my partner got to play for free on his birthday.

Played the course Monday 6/12 at 2:10pm. This was my first time playing this course. The pace of play was good. Our foursome finished at 6:25. The fairways are pretty good, but there are a lot of thin areas. The greenside bunkers were inconsistent. Some were fairly fluffy and others were quite hard. There's not much rough on this course. For the most part, you're either on the fairway or in the rocky arroyo which winds through most of the course.
The course is flat, but very undulating. There are many uneven lies to deal with. The greens were fairly slow. But the fairways had plenty of roll. It is definitely a challenging course. You must be accurate or you'll pay a price (higher score and lost balls!). Many shots can be visually deceiving in terms of direction and distance. You must use and trust the GPS on the carts.
I didn't particularly enjoy the course. To me, it lacks inspiration. I felt like many of the holes were very similar. Personally, I got tired of looking at rocks and desert terrain everywhere. It seems like there's more of that than green grass. I much prefer Moorpark Country Club, Robinson Ranch, and Tierra Rejada. However, the twilight price of $45, which includes GPS cart, is definitely a bargain.

Played 6/10 at twilight. Course in good shape. Greens are a little slower than normal. Beware of going out at twilight on Sat. Had a 2:30 time and didnt tee off until 2:50. After a few holes the pace was good. If you tee off right before twilight, it's wide open.

The speed of greens has not returned after aeration, they are still tricky but much slower than normal for this place. Rest of course as usual in excellent condition.

After playing at Wilson, we played another round at Angeles National Golf Club in the afternoon. Beautiful course. Beautiful sceneries. Quite chanllenging course. If you have good tee shoots then this couse is not too difficult to manage. Greens are firm and fast. If you are in the rough, just take a drop. Very interesting course. Thumb up for me. They are still in the process of builting the club house. Not enough rest rooms around the course are few downer for now.

I didn't play the course today, but practiced instead, and after having come back here after a long layoff from this facility, I can say that while this course isn't on my Top 10-15 in SoCal, the practice facility is. It's a wide and long range, with nice, new practice balls. I hit two large buckets ($9 each), and had only one bad ball in the bunch. The range grass was cut to an appropriate length and was smooth, and they had a nice big cooler of ice water handy. There are some new outdoor chairs, and plenty of water buckets with clubscrubbers attached so you can clean your clubs. The practice greens are among the best as well - large, smooth and fast. So whether you like this course or not (personally, if I'm in this general area, I'd rather hit the 118 fwy and go to Rustic Canyon - just a more interesting and fun course), I think everyone would feel this range is well worth the money.

Played during aeration special and was able to tee off at twilight for $30 and was able to finish in 4 hours on a Wednesday. Overall, thought that that price was fair for the course. It is nothing special as it is quite flat and fairways are a little hard in most places. The layout is just OK as the length and variety of holes is quite good, but it seem like on the front side that you are going back and forth into and against the wind through a stretch of holes. The forced carries from the teebox or to the green were challenging. It would be a great place to walk with a yardage guide/book. It is not worth the price during the week or on the weekend. If they charged the twilight rate all during the week and the regular daily rate for the weekend, then I might would play it a lot more. Otherwise, I'll look for specials or only play at twilight and be able to finish.

The greens are just about healed from the aeration. They are rolling pretty good but still a bit firm The rest of the course is in great shape.

Played a free birthday round on Sat, May 13...Course in decent conditions after the recent aeration...Greens are sandy and slow as expected, but the bunkers were inconsistent and had rocks and pebbles in some of them, not sure why...First time playing here and love the layout and mountain backdrop...Reminds me a little of Badlands in Las Vegas...If you like target golf you'll love Angeles National...Gotta keep it in the fairways or it's easy to lose balls here with all the ESA's...

Played 4/28, 11:50 t-time. Course is in great shape, greens are fast and true. $65.00 after 11:00 am is a good deal, and we played in 4.5 hrs.

My wife and I played this course on Tuesday, 4/25, for the first time. What a pleasure. The course is in great shape and we found the greens to be fast and true. The course is a real challenge and is very penal for errant shots. Accuracy and proper club selection are a must. Can not wait to return.

Played here 2PM on 4/15/06, reasonable price, nice layout. Only complaint is tough to find golf balls. Can't really see where the ball is running into with all the slope and hazards. Lost a lot of balls. Greens are like US open. Most area are brown color. Fast green, a tap went pass hole like 5 feet. Only wish there are more water to play.

Played friday 3/24. Course in good shape, greens a little thin. 5 PLUS hours for the round. Not sure why they have martials since all they do if ride around the cart path and wave. Guys in front of us were marking every 12 inch putt they had. The free birthday thing is great unless your birthday falls on a fri/sat/sun in which case you have to tee off after 12 to get it. Good layout but pricey for a place with no clubhouse to speak of.
