great county course in good shape. Fairways are a little too wide but still a fun and challenging track. My only complaint is that the greens are really slow. Can't beat $21 for this place

Christmas is coming and SANTA anita is coming to town. Pushing great conditions despite irrigation efforts which really don't bother play. I just hope they work on the drainage after the new sprinklers are put in. This course has never had very good drainage. Certainly not terrible, but not the best drainage.

I've shot 74-72 in my last two rounds here over the last four days. It helps to have nice smooth greens and a few players who care for the course(replacing divots and fixing ball marks). Too bad I have trouble taking my game from this course to another, which suggests this course plays on the easy side. But mix in the long to medium length par 3's on this course in addition to the heavily wooded tree-line's....& you've got one heck of a test if you are even slightly off your game.

Great group of players and staff here. Hope it stays that way!!

Even the "Eastern Fivesomes" have a clue here as to what is going on!!

played monday the 1st and the course was in good condition. there are parts where they're working on the new irrigation system. #2 is about 100yds shorter, but nothing to bad. this course is always well kept and is one of my favorite public courses. only problem for me is that the earlier you get out the better. i usually try to get out before 8am, but overslept and started at about 10:30. didn't finish till 3:30, a 5hr round. 2 groups of 5 in front of our group and guys hitting from the back when they need to play the whites. unfortunately, some guys think they can play from the tips and hold up everyone else behind them.

Greens were plugged one week ago and are very slow and bumpy. The rest of the course was great. Green should be back to normal in a couple of weeks.

greens were painfully slow. A couple of more weeks to recover from the aerating. Fairways and traps were in excellent shape. Still my favorite LA County course.

Just played yesterday 9-18-05. Greens were great and I was putting well. It's so much easier to hole five footers with a little break when the greens are smooth and true like they are at Santa Anita. It's literally pick-your-line, execute, and retrieve your ball from cup.....everytime. Misses come only from poor execution and/or bad technique.

I did bogey #6(the first 5-foot putt for par that I missed) from behind the green...don't go there!!
I also made bogey on #15(another missed 5-footer).

I must have holed ten 5-foot putts, the majority to save par. I saved myself on #16 with a 30-foot downhill right to left curler, fist-pump included. I made brilliant 10 footers for birdies on #7 and #11. I completely bombed a drive 345 yards on the par 5 #13th, got on in two with a six iron, and barely miised the eagle putt for a tap in birdie.

Trouble shot of the day:
I caught a fried egg lie in the front right bunker on my 2nd shot on #9 trying to go for it in two....a fairly easy task at only 479 yards, a par 5. The sand was just perfect in that bunker. I dug the closed-face of my sandwedge steeply about 1 inch behind my ball, and it popped out like popcorn coming to rest five feet from the hole. But I missed the 5 footer again....I was just way too excited and worked up from escaping what looked like sheer doom in that bunker. It was a great escape....and it is the last of the 5-footers that I missed. I still managed a par.

The rest of the back nine were all pars.

At the end of the day I finished "par-par" on #17 and #18 and wounded up carding a round of 1 under par from the championship tee markers. That's my first subpar round this year and I think I owe it all to a new game plan and a minor swing adjustment. Also my new 905S Titlesist driver has sure helped me straighten it out and I'm getting 30 to 40 more yards with it in my bag.

I've been working hard on my game for more than 10 years. I've been waiting a long time but the time will soon come. Soon, you'll be hearing alot about me. Just you wait and see! It shouldn't be long now!!

Had a fun time at Santa Anita...I played 18 holes in 3 1/2 hours during TW. Course has generous fairways. I wished the greens were alittle faster. They were in pretty good condition...just wished they would of rolled faster. They were slooow. I prefer Brookside its a better maintained course because its able to accomodate more players with 2 courses...overall it was fair...I would recommended S.A.G.C if you can't get a tee time at Brookside
