Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

The Links at Terranea is a nine-hole, par-3 golf course at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, set along the Pacific coastline with views of Catalina Island. It was designed by Todd Eckenrode of Origins Golf Design and built into the resort's oceanfront bluffs above the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Holes range from about 104 to 173 yards, giving the course a short format that suits beginners while still offering strategic bunkering and green contours for more experienced players. Golfers walk the course, taking in the coastal scenery, and a multi-tiered short-game practice area with chipping and putting greens sits alongside the layout. The course is part of Terranea Resort's amenities and operates on a resort basis, with tee times bookable by resort guests and outside visitors. A full round typically takes about two hours given the par-3 format.
