Santa Anita Golf Course
Played On 05/13/2020Early Bird Gets a 3.5 hour round
Getting out early with a 7:25 AM tee time was very helpful in having a quick 3.5 hour round. Also, our foursome had two riders and two walkers, with the riders being in individual carts due to covid-19 social distancing guidelines. This really sped up the round. Greens were beautiful, though punched within a couple of weeks. Fairways were mostly beautiful with a few areas burned for lack of watering. The rough was very high, like US Open length, causing us to lo lose time to look for balls, some of them gone forever. I like this course. It has some wacky hills, especially on the 18th fairway where it is roomored to have old red cars from Los Angeles first mass transit trains buried in the fairway. The blind tee shot, doglegging right over trees and wackodoodle hills can really ruin your score card. But for the most part, even that part of the track is fun.
TPC Dorado Beach - Sugarcane
Played On 02/22/2019Not worth the money
If your interested in a round of golf on a course that is fairly easy, and in beautiful condition, and you don't care about paying top dollar for golf....then be my guest.
If you want an interesting layout, with beautiful or at least interesting views, then go play at a resort along the coast.
I played as a single that quickly came up behind a fivesome... A FIVESOME at a TPC???
At any rate, I played through them, and finished my round in 2 hours 45 minutes.
And for a course named "sugarcane" I didnt see a single stick of the stuff growing anywhere.

Played On 10/09/2017Avoid this place for a few years
This course was a wonderful place to play. Beautiful rolling hills near tee complexes, wide lush fairways, and an overall appealing place to play golf......10 YEARS AGO!!! But not now.
The place looks like it has been chocked dry from a lack of water. Fairways are sketchy, and the surrounding environment is dirt patched and ugly. Some fairways are little more than strips of dying, dry or dead grass and weeds.
I played 10 years ago, and it was beautiful. Now, its just pitiful.
Im told that new ownership has come along and they are planning a return to its former glory. But it will take years. The course was abused. Its worth playing, but only if you cant get a tee time anywhere else.
Sorry for the bad news, but you should avoid this place for at least a year....maybe more.
