Eaton Canyon Golf Course

This was my second time playing this course, and I will definitely play here again as it is a good value and a fun course. I played on a Sunday morning and the pace of play was good, the greens were in good shape, it’s not too difficult, you get to use most of your clubs, and the trees on the course are beautiful. Also, I like how it’s mostly par 4s and has two par 5s which is unique for a 9 hole course. Only down sides are good luck finding your ball if you’re not on the fairway and the staff seems a bit disorganized.

This is the second or third time I have booked a tee time on golfnow where the staff were blindsided by my reservation. I only got on because there was a cancellation with the group on the tee box and couldn’t warm up or anything, just had to run up and tee off. Course was great, greens were fast, and rate of play was reasonable. Just kinda annoyed that there seems to be a disconnect between the app and the course staff at the course you’re booking for. Same thing happened at Altedena and San Dimas.

Eaton could us an intervention to restore its cart paths. They are in terrible condition. Walking the course it would not be noticeable, but I don’t have time so I must ride. And the ride is a rough one.

Other than that, Eaton offers a pleasant day on the course.

The service, the staff are all amazing people. Had
a great time.

I enjoy playing Eaton. It challenges my skill, or lack thereof, just enough to have fun without leaving the course depressed.

My only gripe, and it’s a big one, would be the cart paths. I don’t usually have time to walk the course so I choose to ride. However, the cart paths are in such horrible condition the ride is ridiculously bumpy, uncomfortable, and even painful. I would participate in a “fix the cart path fund” in a heartbeat.

Next round I’ll bring a big pillow to sit on.
