United States California Top 24 Los Angeles Golf Courses and Resorts By Blair Howard Blair Howard Blair Howard is a freelance writer and photographer specializing in vacation and golf travel with more than 2,500 published articles. TripSavvy's editorial guidelines Updated on 06/26/19 Here is a list of what I consider to be Top 24 Golf Courses and Resorts in Los Angeles. Los Angeles, California, is home to a great many fine golf and resorts, and that can be a bit of a problem for visiting golfers: where to play. That being so, I have built the following list. I've visited Los Angeles many times in the past, not because I wanted to, but mostly because I had to. Personally, I really don't enjoy the big city experience one bit. However, I can tell you that, corporate meetings aside, I have enjoyed my experiences in Los Angeles, and the golf too. There are, of course, huge numbers of people who, just like me, during the course of their business activities, do have to visit LA, and often. Having said that, I can't think of anyone I've ever met who has visited the area for a vacation, golf or otherwise. Still…. This list of Top 24 Los Angeles Golf Courses and Resorts will help you decide where you'd like to play. The opportunities for golf, as a sidebar or for a vacation, are seemingly endless. There are grand resorts, and grand golf courses, spread around the great city in all directions for a 100 miles, or more, and those, I'm sure, would be of special interest to residents of Los Angeles looking for that ultimate golf getaway, for a weekend or even longer. Carlsbad would be an excellent choice, as would be Palos Verdes, Long Beach and the City of Industry. Then, of course, San Diego with all it has to offer is less that an hour and half drive away; Palm Springs and its more than 100 golf courses and resorts is less than 100 miles to the east, and an easy two-hour drive. So, as you can see, the opportunities for great golf in and around the City of Angels are virtually endless; that being so, it makes a whole of sense to review and list the best public golf courses. The following listings will help you plan your trip, vacation, or golf getaway: 01 of 02 Golf Courses and Resorts Within 100 Miles of Los Angeles: Courtesy of Indian Wells Golf Course Golf Courses and Resorts Within 100 Miles of Los Angeles: Golf Courses in San Diego Golf Courses in the Carlsbad Area "Golf Courses in Palm Springs Golf Courses in Southern California Now for those golfing opportunities in the greater Los Angeles area: Where to Stay: Los Angeles Golf Resorts: Terranea Resort, Rancho Palos Verdes.The Pacific Palms Resort & Conference Center, City of Industry.The Pelican Hill Resort, Newport Coast.Long Beach Marriott Resort, Long Beach.
