The course has a good design with lots of interesting holes, and the greens were noticeably faster, which was great. Unfortunately, the pace of play was terrible. After more than 5 hours of nonstop waiting, we were unable to even complete the final hole. It’s a solid course in terms of layout and conditions, but the pace of play seriously impacted the overall experience. Better pace management would make a huge difference.

The overall experience is not worth the current price point ~$180. It’s priced as a nicer public club, but deviates in some MAJOR ways that I’ll get into (namely, pacing). The good: - The course is in very good condition, especially for a public course. Greens, fairways, bunkers - everything was very good. - Beautiful views and the clubhouse also looks nice. - The course itself is challenging and well designed. The bad: - No carts available 30 min prior to tee time, likely due to overbooking. Practice area is about a 5 min walk, so if you have more senior folks in your group, may be tough to get them back and forth comfortably. - No pace control whatsoever. Every tee box had 2-4 groups on it at a time. Average wait at the tee box, 5-15 min. 20 min once - but always a wait. - The amount of people they cram into this course is absurd. You will be riding the group in front of you and the group behind will be riding you the entire day. This is not a relaxing golf experience. - No marshal, no beverage cart. Snack bar closed pretty early. - Afternoon tee times will not finish the course during daylight. I had been looking forward to playing this course and really wanted to enjoy it. It’s preferable to pay more for better pacing than deal with whatever was going on here. With that said, we had just come from a number of courses in the Palm Springs area (PGA West) that were just as nice while also being more affordable ($120-150). So who knows. But I never want to play golf at the pace Angeles sets ever again. Brutal.

Angeles National was impressive. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition, and the weather made the entire round even more enjoyable. My friend’s Coffee with Baileys before tee-off added a fun touch to the day, and overall it turned out to be a great experience.

Definitely one of the top public courses in the LA area. Fairways and greens were in great shape, and I don't mind the high green fees especially on a Sunday afternoon when that meant there was no one in front of us or behind us. Both my sons and I finished the course on Sunday yesterday in just over 4 hours. Barely saw another group during our round. Loved it

The course is pretty but has seen better days. It could use an influx of investment to bring it back to glory. With that said, it’s a true Jack course with many forced irons and forced carries but with a desert twist. It is dry and the air is thin so the balls run… grip and rip.
