As noted in my ranking of its partner course, Altadena, also managed by DC Golf, I played the two courses with friends on the same day, sharing lunch in between our 9 hole rounds. Eaton Canyon is all down hill for the first 5 holes and just about all uphill for the last 4 holes. Fairways were in average shape, but greens were in good shape the day I played. I play this course three or four times a year with my son-in-law and my grandson, usually on holidays. I find it a reasonable challenge for my skills as a golfer. It is definitely a challenge to walk, but one that is well worth taking on which I do every time I play it, which is about 4 or 5 times a year. In my family, this course known as "cardiac hill." I assume others may know this nickname as well.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
