Angeles National Golf Club

I don't believe I've ever played a round here under 5 1/2 hours. I'm opting not to type out a rant here, but the gist of it is you pay $165-180 for a round, they still charge you for a bucket of balls, and even at an 8:30am tee time our round was 6 hours. I've played this place a few times thinking I caught a bad day, but this previous round is likely my last (which is too bad, it's a fun layout). At those greens fees they don't hire a single marshal and the few employees there, at best, shrug their shoulders about it.

It’s sad what this course has become. Just a straight money grab. They have far too many golfers out, no marshals, and have no care for any pace of play. They’ll happily take your money, but don’t expect to be able to play in less than 5 1/2 to 6 hours. Regardless of the time and day. And if you ask the staff for help, you’ll get a “not my problem” response

Played the course for the first time with a foursome. Got to the club and everything was fine until the turn. At the turn, the staff at the restaurant was incredibly rude - they wanted us out of their hair as quickly as possible and were beyond curt with us despite the fact we were being pleasant.

Things only got worse post round. I thought I had left my rangefinder there. I tried to contact the pro-shop on multiple occasions and kept getting pushed to the call center. I emailed them (which is what I was advised to do by their call center who were nice but not at all helpful) and couldn't get a response.

When one pays 160 bucks plus fees for a golf course, one expects a much better customer service experience. I get a better experience when playing at LA Munis or Rustic or Soule.

This is the last time I'll be playing this course given how unprofessional it is. And judging by the "response" here on golf now to bad reviews, I'm just waiting for them to do an auto-bot response and then never care about their customers.

Haven’t played here in long time but it has really developed quite nicely. Fairways are pretty open and greens in great shape. Will be back soon!

Three groups waiting on each tee with no marshal resulted in a 5hr 10min round.

Great course. Fun and challenging. My second time here. If you go OB it’s likely you will never find the ball. Staff could be a bit more friendly but that’s not to say it was a bad experience; they were kind and respectful but just seemed a little void of happiness (not a reflection of the staff, but of management). For the price, I expect a bit more…

I booked a tee time for 7:52 am and wanted to change it so I tried to call, but you cannot get ahold of the pro shop, you. have to email them, which is inconvenient for a course that costs 100 a head. I got to change the tee times through email and arrived promptly at 7 am. I went to check in and the guy behind the counter ignord me for probably a minute until i said "excuse me", he was on his phone and he said "give me a sec". I proceeded to stand there for 5 minutes. He than got to me and was very passive-aggressive and and very lazily threw me the cart key. It just felt off. We started and I was still positive because of the prestigious "national" title. I started and by the 5th hole, i realized i got ripped off. slow play, and just not a $100 course!!!
cool course but unfriendly staff and overpriced.

Since the green fees range from $ 100 to $ 200, depending on which day, the course is typically not that busy. It is in pretty good shape most of the year, with greens that aren't littered with unfixed divots. Most holes are challenging and include a picturesque desert view. We played on a Monday at 2:pm and at the turn it was a ghost town, and the snack stand was closed. Did I mention it was 95 degrees? In the end, paying extra for a nice course without having to get up at 5 to 6 am 7 days in advance is a nice option to have.

Great and challenging course.
Will definitely visit again.

A week ago, I booked foursomes tee time through golfnow to accommodate 3 golfers with a 12-yr child. Total 5 including myself. However, angeles national course phone number (searched in google) led me to calling center, saying no spectator is allowed. But calling center was never able to connect to pro shop to reconfirm. I attempted everyday in past a few days trying to communicate. But no luck. Therefore one guest (with his child) decided not to attend. When we checked in today, however pro shop told us spectator is definitely allowed ($30 which is reasonable). We ended up threesome without refund (as charge for no show). Frankly, the golf round was good. But whole experience was quite frustrating due to communication problem.

Great layout and course conditions, but requires accuracy. Balls are easily lost in the hazards and bushes. Rattle snakes and poisonous ivy and oak warnings keep you away from searching for balls. Got bitten by some insect and my palm became swallen. Using the icebox helped. its ok now.
Pace of game was slow despite reminders on the screen. Total up to 1 hr delay.
There are cheaper courses with similar conditions in LA. But overall good company and impressions!

Course is great. But the greens were actually slow for the first time ever. And the snack bar was out of a number of food items. But I really love the course.

The fairways on the golf course aren't in the best condition; they lack the lush green appearance that is expected. However, I strongly believe that this course has the potential to be one of the best in LA if the management pays more attention to maintenance and improvements.

Having played here for two years now, I have noticed that there has been a lack of progress regarding certain amenities. One major disappointment is the absence of a restaurant on the premises throughout this time. A restaurant would greatly enhance the overall experience for golfers and visitors, providing a much-needed place to relax and enjoy some refreshments.

In summary, while the golf course has potential, it is essential for the management to focus on enhancing the fairways' condition and address the lack of amenities like a restaurant to truly elevate the course's appeal and make it a top-notch destination in LA. I hope these concerns can be addressed, and I look forward to seeing positive changes in the future.

Hard and beautiful course, green were very slow and fairway really hard but fun

My son and I played 6/23 6:30am Tee time. $185/pp

Checked in at 6am and asked for a reminder of the driving range location to warm up. We were told it’s over the bridge on the right. We drove over to hit a few and it doesn’t open until 9. Maybe fill us in on that detail before we drive over??

Then, we were told it’s a back 9 start as well. So we tee off as a twosome on 10. Quick 1:30 minute 9 was fun and pace is great because no one is in front of us. Visit the snack window and no one to be seen for 8-10 minutes.

Finally someone helps us and we hustled to number 1. There’s a 3some halfway down and a single asked to join us because he was late getting to the tee box for the 3 in front of us. So they only had us start on 10? The solo did not take our hint that we wanted to stay a 2some for pace and insisted on joining. The “back” took 50 minutes longer to play.

Again, the pro shop could just communicate that we’d have groups in front at the turn and our experience would have been better.

For 185, this is unacceptable. For 50, it’s tolerable.

Course was in good shape. No Marshall for slow pace though? Probably my last round there unless it’s severely discounted.
