Altadena
2011-10-28
$10 (cart not included), played on Friday, September 2011 at noon
I played this course, plus Eaton Canyon which is managed by the same company--DC Golf, with a group of friends who get together for golf about once every two months. We played Eaton Canyon in the morning, had lunch together, drove to Altadena which was about 3 miles away, and played it. Because the two are linked, we were able to play Altadena as a "replay" for about $3.00 as I recall. Great price for 9 holes. At several places the fairways had "browned out" and it looked like they were not getting any attention. The greens were in good shape. Altadena is a cut below Eaton Canyon in my opinion, but the round was enjoyable.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
