Reviews of San Dimas Canyon Golf Course (Golf)

Dang Nguyen

Nice course. Some tricky holes, but mostly fair. The fairways appear narrow, but surprisingly very playable. Greens are somewhat fast. Nice and friendly staff. Reasonable rates (weekday).

Eric Bellgardt

Nice course layout. Fast greens in good condition. Friendly staff. My only problem is the slow play, 5hrs 15min. average. I wish the the Marshall would move players along.

Ron Moore

Well maintained, very good greens, great carts with GPS and auto brakes.

J Ellis

Beautiful scenery, quiet up in the hills of North San Dimas. Enjoyable 18 holes.

Great atmosphere and service, but I only heard bad comments about all of the main dishes from just about every guest from our catered dinner.

Lee Robert

It's good course & price.. But cart guy who arrange cart & tee time scheduling is no good.. Every time massed up.. I think they are confused own job..

Laura W

我來自未來

Nice course, Inexpensive, good layout, value play.

Jay George

Best challenge course I've played

Timothy E

The course is very forgiving on most holes because holes are next to each other. Often had other players balls end up on our fairways. Greens were very big and in good shape. The driving range is more akin to a batting cage with a net over the top and extremely short with terrible mats. It is literally only to warm up. The carts have GPS built in giving yardage and showing the next group on the screen as well which helped know when to hit your next shot. This would also be a great course to walk. Only gave a four because of the driving range. Also, the location can be hot in summer and windy at times.

Eddie Lee

The fairway was shoddy but the putting greens were well manicured. Nice and difficult course. Hard to read the greens with the mountain right next to you. Sort of an optical illusion. Will come back to play again in the near future.

Robert Turner

We hadn't played the course for sometime we've always enjoyed it and today was nothing short of great course is in great shape and the greens excellent thanks for the wonderful experience we'll be back

Marc Lozano

Challenging course. Great people. Always a fun place to play.

Randall Seifman

Nice place to play, not busy and narrow.

Frank Garcia

Well maintained course. I've been playing addy this course for the last 5 years every Monday, but lately they've haff this starter cart guy Dale, which is the worst. Normally my tee time is the first in the morning around 5:37am. He starts at 5:30am, that's what he says. He brings one cart down in which the marshalls take, because they get to start before paying customers do. Then he goes in to the club house and starts jaw jacking with the person on the counter, instead of doing his job which is to bring out the carts so that we can tee off at are tee time

One of my favorite local courses.

Jason Samuelian

I have been to this course a bunch of times. I was disappointed in a few things. The water in the clubhouse was out (totally understand that as things happen). The marshalls on the course and the starters were very rude and short with our foursome for no reason. We were told we were a hole behind, though our GPS said we were 12 minutes ahead of pace of play and the group in front of us was waiting on the group in front of them, stacking things up. The pace of play was fine for a Friday afternoon but my friend and I pulled off the course early as the constant waiting and being hit into by the group behind us (2 singles that the starter did not put together) was annoying and distracting. I will say the course was in pretty good shape though. Tough greens with the mountain impacting the rolls.

kevin flanders

Fun and tough course, one of the best in the area.

Jeff Shu

Not in very good condition, a few fairways are pretty rough. Other than that, it is nice.

Oscar Penaloza

Very nice golf course!!

Ej Cabrera

This course is really nice to play when its not too crowded but their management is over the top horrible. My friend and I booked a $20 round at 2pm. Arrived there around 130pm and noticed that this place was way too packed. Literally around 20 people ahead of us. I asked if there was a tournament but nope, they just over booked this place. Took them till 230pm to call us up to pay for green fee's and paired us up with 3 other players to make a 5 sum. The pace of play was incredibly slow. It took us 5 hours to finish a round.

Sheri Cooper

The course, the employees, the all-around experience is absolutely wonderful.

Mike Byerly

Love the location, tough course for all levels of play.

고싸이

Nice course. Not good staff. Cashier.

Navnit Patel

Good course and friendly management

lalo valdivia

Winter for brother's wedding and staff is great

Doro Orozco

Beautiful golf course to get close to the nature.

Raymond R. Chen

As Player Club member, green fee is comparatively low. Green settings are very difficult, challenging and well maintained. Most of fairways are trimmed in good condition. Except weekend traffic, everything’s good.

Christina Leyva

Nice place for a wedding, but the food for the wedding was not impressed with it.

S Marone

Wedding . Looks super nice ☆☆☆☆☆

David Woo

Great space to host parties and events. Friendly staff and decent dining area with patio.

marie DeChaine

My famiky had a service here and half the room was being set up for a wedding ( extremely rude) and a piece of drywall fell down from the ceiling on to my cousin do not recommend having anything here

Elias Carrera

Course in good shape greens were very nice

William H Casey IV

The course plays very fast with extremely fast compact fairways and greens. The entire course in great condition and well maintained. You will have wildlife guest appearances throughout your round. Great course, fun play, challenging.

Soly Asmar

Like the course. Clean and challenging

lamasigovia .

I played here several times and always have a great time. Some holes are really tricky. To get a good score, just lay down some ambition and split the strokes; sometime regulation on green is just too hard. The course is not 100% well maintained but good enough for a good round. Out there in the canyon you can see some beautiful sceneries and gorgeous sunset if you play the twilight. Deers would take over the course in late afternoon early evenings.

Maxcifer Flmn

A very nice and relaxing golf course. Quiet and peaceful with many animals. Be careful with the snakes though on holes 11 and 12 though! Pictures are from Hole 11 tee box, on Feburary 2019.

Miles

The golf course was in great shape and the staff were accommodating and friendly. Had a great day of golf.

Luis Uribe

Love the lay out

Ph Ts

Pace of play is the worst I ever experienced in my 25 year golf life. The course allowed many many 5-some groups on a weekend. Waiting for 10-20 minutes on EVERY shot. No marshals. MORE THAN 6 HOURS TO FINISH OUR ROUND.

jarvis justus

The course is great shape. The staff was friendly and professional.

Sean M

Good conditions, fun track, but can have long rounds.

AR 15老K

This is a great golf course I like. Some of the holes was designed too narrow due to the environment but overall I like it. Very challenge

Betty Gurney

Love that place

Raul Moreno

Always a fun course to play. Staff is always super friendly & accomodating.

Jong Kim

Too crowd all the times that we played however it is a little bit of challengable and fun to play for over the 20 over handicappers.

Andy Avalos

It was nice kept up and not crowded. The clubhouse was cool and the drinks were reasonable.

Alex Castillo

Always fun but challenging to play at San Dimas Canyon.

Ron Sissons

Played yesterday, 07/11/2013, and the course was in great shape. The course was wide open, which was a refreshing change for San Dimas Canyon because it's usually pretty packed. I felt I was playing better than my score reflected, but isn't that usually the case ;-)

Mitch CLles

Greens are air raided

Ronnie Martinez

Had a great time playing. Fairways are nice, greens are smooth and tricky. The only bad thing was construction work going on by club house and trees being trimmed. Other than that. Everyone was nice and polite. Definitely worth playing there.

Michael Jones

Hit a par on the 16th hole! All my golf buddies found the agua.

robert rodelo

Nice golf course in lots of fun

Jason Weiler

Good course for the money but get used to waiting on the tees, they often overbook.

Moises Jimenez Jr

A squirrel exploded today on the 5th hole after being hit by a runaway Titleist with a red stripe.

Monica Barajas

Very pretty wedding venue

Bob Bernier

Very nice hospitality friendly people and nice atmosphere love it

Ron Duvall

Good condition, excellent greens, great value for seniors.

Mitchell Crawford

Under new management, so a few bumps with an event there.

Miguel Sanchez

Went to an event with a vegan and there was options for her to eat.

Jack Mattson

Courses that put singles, between a 5 some, and a 4 some, should get it together. Not worth the drive, or money, to be mismanaged. They also argued over a $25 refund, after admitting their mistake. DO NOT GOLF HERE AS A SINGLE!

Bella Sera

Nice course fast greens

David Villegas

Beautiful course. Good challenge

Mr. Wright

Great spot for only $40 on a weekend.

Leonard Ormond

Nice course. Lots of fun.

DJ Jun Alcantara

Greg Burgess is Awesome Banquet Captain!!!

Kimberly Perry

Beautiful course!

Steven P

Not bad course for the money.

Yu Ken Chan

Very nice local. Good for party and wedding

Jess Fernandez

Fun course. They tend to over stack tee times.

Peter Bickers

Gets very hot under the San Gabriel mountains. Good value.

Gertie Lingstrom

Best course in the area.

nancy hunter

Went to neices wedding here. It was nice. Veiw great. However, restrooms we're not stocked at all from the beginning of event And not really clean either.

Bobby Smith

This neon sendoff was another success.

Nathan Carlson

Played in a scramble tournament today and the course is in great shape. Buffet food was decent, nothing special. $5 for a12oz can of beer is on the high end. Place of play was slow, around 5.5 hours but don't count that against the course. Overall, a good experience.

Russell

Course is always in really good condition. Very scenic course with interesting holes and some elevation change. Prime time tee times are not cheap though.

JoeSeniorVideo Video

We used the banquet room to celebrate an 80th birthday. The servers were very good. Got our table order all correct. Some minor dissatisfaction with some of the food. But. Overall a good experience. Beautiful view of the golf course from the outside patio. Has good handicap access ramp to main entrance. Has about 5 or 6 handicap parking spaces by front entrance.

J Paul M

Good and nice place, but only view parking space available

Ehsan Khan

Fantastic public course with a private club feel. The layout is fantastic and will challenge all skill levels. Only problem is the condition of the Greens at certain times. Other than that, a fantastic course!

Jordan Rivera

The course itself is decent, but the crowds are unlike anything I've ever experienced in my life. Just took us 3 hours and 20 mins to play the front nine. I get that there are crowds, but in my entire life of golfing I've never experienced a round quite like the one today. Never again.

Tom Daniels

Greens and fairways are well kept. Very nice public course. They hosted a great Octoberfest event. Great golf. Great beer. prost!

Paul Morrell

Good day out. Haven't played in a while, but came here because it's consistently well kept and it's hills, bends, and trees keep it interesting.

Jason Dolphin

Lovely wedding destination.

Rick Cuan

Great scenery and place to host an event

Joshua Elder

Always a great course to play at. Friendly staff.

Jay Greenberg

Great tournament and the course was in great shape.

bill curtis

Awesome course !

Eddie Ramos

Nice golf course challenging lots of bunkers and hills. Like that the carts have GPS.

Jerry S

Nice greens, beautiful mountains in the backgrounds. Wild deer claimly walking around sometimes

Chrissy Constantino

Beautiful course. Came here for a wedding. Very well out together. Great staff. This place was very nice.

Mary Harlan

Course is so poorly managed. Always a disappointment. Today the tee time was delayed 50 minutes.Then on hole 4 they were punching the greens and in the middle of our play they moved the hole location. (Approximately a 30 foot move) I have played hundreds of rounds and this was a first. Unbelievable lack of regard for the golfers who paid to be there. Course consistently books 5somes which delays the play for everyone. A round of golf should not be a 6-7 hours gruesome experience. Today is the last time I will waste my time and money at San Dimas golf course.

Clint Arnett

Good challenging course

nathan kim

Very good place to play golf. Had fun with my friends..

Diana Hall

Just had Jillian's golf banquet here. The course it's beautiful and the clubhouse is terrific. Great place.

Tony Juwono

Have good time playing Golf here with my Buddies. Green is in good condition.

Charles Aita

I thought the course was in really good shape but I wish they would have told us that the greens was sanded that takes away from the game but it's still a really good deal and the course layout is very nice and fair

Stephen Smith

I attended a breakfast meeting. The food was ok and the service was good. It is a nice meeting setting.

Jim Goyich

wonderful course, close to home.

robert c smith smith

On of my local favourites, always in good condition, sometimes slow due to it's popularity.

Juan Martinez

This golf course is always fun. Staff was courteous.

Mike Mistine

Course in decent condition greens fast. Very slow play 5.5 hours to play 18 fivesomes make it slow

Jun seo Cho

good price and good condition

Otis Harper

One of the most beautiful golf courses I've ever seen!

Rocky Mathews

Beautiful challenging course and always cool to see the dear roaming around

cash Lopez

Greens are punched and staff lied about it when i asked, paid full price for an aerated course. Unfair and i wont be back.

Larry Brack

Very interesting and challenging tree lined golf course, difficult greens.

luke carignan

Nice

Al Nunez

A very well maintained course but be ready for a challenge! Hills and doglegs water and sand. A thinking man's golf course. Great senior rates too! You'll use every club in the bag.

Troy Coe

Great golf course they have a all included deal your fee a cart and a sandwich and a drink

Jesse Perez

This place is above par for the course lol . Had a blast for our tournament. Thank you guys so much . The breakfast burritos were great . The brunch afterwards was great.

Gustavo Leon

Very enjoyable and challenging course. Worth the drive.

Ron Marsh

Good food

David McKenna

The course is great, but the pace of play is ridiculous. If you want to spend an average of 6 hours playing golf this is the place for you. Marshal is nowhere to be found. Ruins everything

Teresa Rosales

Great!!!

Damm Z

Excellent course, beautifully manicured. Advanced level of play

Cyrus Chu

Update: Nov 2018 Finally flags are planted in more reasonable spots on the green. The greens are curing well and playing smoothly. Now if the tee boxes can be fixed to be somewhat flat... Short and narrow, very enjoyable layout. Some inherent design problems like fairways to close to each other but that's natural due to the space available. A big fixable problem that's been persistent there is the hole locations-the person who places the flags very obviously doesn't care or doesn't play golf, placing flags right at the edge of a unstoppable slope down, and it's really unstoppable even when you're putting up from 10 feet, and putting down is an adventure. I've seen good putters 4 putt in these greens all the time, which breaks the rhythm and crashes a fun round. Unfortunately I don't think management cares because many have complained and not much has been done about that... Except one time they did move a flag in a par 3 because so many complained and it was just the second green.

Tom A

Plan 7 hours. 45 minutes to tee off late and 6:15 for the round.

tong lee

Wonder golf course I enjoyed a lot today

Ben Bonja

The poorest managed course I’ve ever played. Tee off 30 minutes late every time I visit.

Hancel Milbourn

This was my first time at this course, I thought it was well maintained and in great condition

Robert Elletson

Had a great day of golf today.

Jeanette Barreto

It ok. Been to better ones like Marshall canyon

Accel Business

I got a great rate on golfnow and played there. Great value, course in good condition and golf cart with gps.

richrodriguez78

This is a great experience! Live animals and birds of prey. I brought my granddaughter to the park, and found this nature center here. She is so exited. Enjoy

Daniel Kim

Nice course

Pete Rowe

It is located against the foothills so there are rolling fairways. The greens can be very challenging depending on pin placement. Check for deals that include breakfast or lunch with your green fee.

Jamal Akber

Attended a birthday party. Great view from the hall.

Gil Ram

Great place for a celebration.

Frank Sanchez

This is a hidden gem of a course. You can get great late afternoon rates on GolfZing and they will let you book a solo. If you are brave, play the par 3's from the Blue markers in the ground (not the ones they move around). There are a few where you will need your long irons as they push the 200 yard mark. There is also great elevation changes throughout the course with some holes begging you to draw or fade your drives.

Edward Park

Personally I am ok if you play at blue. Difficulty is good for me.

Carlos Rivera

When is a good deal not a good deal? When you only get half of what you pay for. I booked a tee time this past Sunday after receiving an email offering a special online rate of $29.99. The tee time was for 3 people at 12:20. I will skip the part about the person in the pro shop who wanted to charge us $59.99 and focus on the golf. Although we had a 12:20 tee time we didn't tee off until almost 1:00 and only after being paired with another twosome. Now I play enough golf to know Sunday afternoons can be a little slow but I have never played a round where the tee boxes were stacked two deep on every single hole. I am accustomed to playing 18 holes of golf in approximately 4 hours and don't complain when it stretches to 5.. I do however draw the line at a 3 hour and 20 minute front 9! There is very little chance that we would have had enough daylight to finish the round anyway but after almost 3 and a half hours we weren't even inclined to try and quit after 9 holes; hence my opening statement about good deals. In my opinion this debacle amounted to a simple case of greed by course management. The course booked entirely too many tee times and they had to know it would cause a severe back up but they obviously didn't care. Suffice to say, that we won't be coming back to this course which is unfortunate since it is actually a very nice course.

Ernesto Villa

Great condition but over crowd. Too much standby

Kenny Parham Jr

Food was above average. Attentive staff. Venue was clean and nice. Attended a banquet there. Overall recommend it.

Loyd Jones

Great course, reasonable prices. Those man made lakes stink very much though.

Kuensu

Older course, friendly staff, clean restroome. Love this course.

Gloria Araw

Celebrated a 80th Birthday Party for a very DEAR friend. Settings and food were excellent.

Daniel Maisel

Beautiful

Martiz Ware

I went here for a wedding, and the setting is beautiful nestled up against the Foothills of California.

John S

Was there for our men's tournament, scheduled for 10 o'clock. They sent kept sending out five somes ahead of us and it took 5:45 minutes to finish the round. Last time playing there.

R. Harrison

Excellent place to play. Not a hard course, but you have to pay attention to the blind shots if you never played the course. Great views of the mountains on most tee boxes.

Zawaka Waka

This is an excellent place for a wedding with a beautiful grassy lawn perfect for an altar. Excellent views and adequate parking.

Bob Johnson

First time at this course. All the personnel were friendly and helpful in getting off. Course was in very good shape, it wasn't crowded and fairly inexpensive. $60 something for 2 in a cart. This is going to be our go to golf course.

JOE OCHOA

AVID GOLFERS LOOKING FOR A GOOD COURSE AND ROUND OF GOLF BEWARE!! Worst course I've been to in the SoCal area. The starter matched up groups ahead of us to put 4 groups of fivesomes out in front of us.....ON A SATURDAY. We were already 30 minutes behind our tee time. Each hole took 20 minutes to play.....a 3 hour front 9. I quit after 9 holes as I couldn't see us finishing the round with light remaining. They added a twosome with us that had NEVER touched a golf club in their lives.....only mentioning this as this reason is the only explanation for the reviews showing anything higher than 2 stars in my opinion regarding the golf. Many of the reviews being higher are for the banquet and wedding events so take that into consideration if you're only looking for golf reviews. Helped the newbies out as much as we could as we weren't accomplishing much golf anyway and it's always better to be an ambassador of the game whenever possible. Course layout is poor; electrical boxes in the fairway, trees sitting in the middle of the fairway 100 yards out from the green, and par 5s that go out 200 yards and then doglegs with 250+ yards remaining--cannot pull out driver off the tee easily. And not much of a driving range available; hitting into a net basically off an aged thin mat. The course management and starter should be embarrassed. I could get over the layout issues and the below par driving range but the pace of play with fivesomes without a course marshall and 30 minutes late teeing off is inexcusable.

Celia Reyes

This was very nice place my son got married there the wedding was on April 9,2017

Jacob Sansom

Greens are always tended nicely. Not super difficult, and I'm a beginner.

Chasen Tedder

Great course

Jack Young

Slow play kills all the fun
