Claremont Golf Course

Claremont Golf Course is unusual for a 9-hole course because you get to use every club in your bag. The course lay-out is nice, and since it is next to the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, the views away from the course are mostly nice too. Maintenance can be spotty, especially in the summer months when water demand is highest. It can get pretty brown out there. The range is functional at best, but both range and course prices are reasonable. And most of the staff are nice and friendly.

The most ridiculous prices for a nine hole course, no golf cart if you're under 55. At least the range masters are cool. Golf there if you have no other choices and hard up to play.
