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 fungu... Continue »

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.

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 Mon... Continue »

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!

Great track, must play, Greens fast, fairways great condition, makes you play your best game

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.
