Played Anaheim Hills on Sunday, 11/10 for my GK Cup match with Sr714 at 11:20 using an UnderPar.com two-person voucher. Course didn’t seem that busy when we arrived, as they were calling groups to the tee early. We didn’t desire to start early and started right on time, paired with two very novice golfers. POP was slow (partly our foursome’s fault, partly backed up anyway), but faster than it seemed. We finished in just about 5 hours, letting one group play through on the 3rd tee.

Course conditions are decent and mixed. The greens were really nice, smooth, soft and medium-fast with downhill putts getting especially quick. Definitely the highlight, and the rest of the course looked better than it played, imo. I had lots of iffy lies on thin grass. Fairways and rough were sometimes good, sometimes bad. Tee boxes were mostly beat up. Bunkers were good.

I hadn’t played here in a little over 5 years. Sorta bummed to see they cut that first par 3 into a shorter hole (I remember it being 250+). Still lots of quirky holes, but there’s also something I like about the course… houses don’t really come into play much and it has a nice “feel” to it. Worth the rate we paid; full rack rate I’m not so sure.

Played May 20; using Underpar $66 two-some on a pleasant somewhat breezy am. Had 10:00 tee time but Don the jovial starter gave us the option of an early start so off at 9:20 joined by Linda an very enjoyable playing partner who even though she purported only playing for 2 1/2 years exhibited good athletic ability and a high golf IQ being very familiar with etiquette and overall awareness.

The Review

The course itself was in overall good condition, fairways quite lush, more on the soft side so limited roll but excellent lies. #9 has some mixed grasses so the potential exists for clumps to be a factor. A few unfilled divots here and there but not bad.

Rough mostly on the shorter side but with some areas very penal. Tees pretty much level with some a little thin but playable. Bunkers varied from full with nice compacted sand to thin coverage.

Greens are very healthy, on the soft side, smooth but having some grain to factor in rolling at medium speed. Topography has a great deal of influence on this course. Greens are most often fronted by swales of various sizes and with the kikouyu shots hit short stay short.

My Thoughts

The layout is “interesting” with many doglegs and some blind landing areas and multiple elevation changes.
POP about 415 with some waiting. Staff is friendly and easy going.

Eight of us played here yesterday at 8AM. Most had never played here and it has been awhile since I had played it. The Santa Ana winds were blowing all day but the course was still playable. I am not sure how the course is doing overall since it was not too crowded for a holiday (Veterans Day). I chose here for a couple reasons, the GK ratings were good and the price on there website was $54 per person. They had plenty of tee times available and most courses were up charging for the holiday so we gave it a try.

Course conditions were all above average. The greens especially were exceptional. We all found them to be great. They held shots, rolled fairly fast and smooth, and were a joy to play. Pace was great at 4 hours and we all stayed for lunch afterwards which was great too.

I recommend Anaheim Hills right now with service, conditions, and pace being great however the holes can be a little gimmicky due to blind shots and sloping fairways especially to first timers.
