About this course

Steeped in professional golf history, Rancho Park Golf Course stands as a venerable municipal gem in Los Angeles, having hosted the prestigious LA Open for many years. Designed by the renowned William P. Bell and William H. Johnson, the course opened in 1949, embodying the classic Southern California Golden Era design philosophy with its strategic layout. Golfers navigate a challenging par-71 championship course spanning 6,839 yards, characterized by significant elevation changes and a series of dogleg holes that demand precision and thoughtful shot-making. While lacking a single iconic signature hole, the course offers a memorable finish with back-to-back par-5s, culminating in a demanding 16th hole that tests even seasoned players. Rancho Park provides a robust and engaging playing experience, reflecting its championship pedigree. This historic course is perfectly suited for both local enthusiasts seeking a challenging round and destination golfers eager to walk the same fairways as golf legends.

Westchester Golf Course

Los Angeles, CA · 5.7 mi away

Westchester Golf Course is a municipal course about two miles from the LAX terminals, designed in 1965. It plays as an 18-hole par 64 at 4,364 yards with a slope of 89, holding eight par 4s, one par 5 and nine par 3s. The course operated as a 15-hole facility for 15 years before a 2010 renovation returned it to 18 holes, adding three new holes on the back nine with different design and green character than the front. Those additions include a 515-yard par 5 and a pair of well bunkered holes. The signature hole has a large eucalyptus in the middle of the fairway that is home to a family of hawks. Greens are the course's reputation, and conditioning is consistent for a course that takes heavy municipal traffic. The driving range was renovated with 58 stalls, target greens and a range shop, and there is a short-game area for chipping, pitching and bunker work. The course is lit for night play and practice until about 10 p.m., one of very few full-length lighted options in Los Angeles. Pull carts, electric carts, rental sets and instruction are available.
