1. Palos Verdes Golf Club
   3301 Via Campesina, Palos Verdes Estates, CA 90274
   • Course highlights
     With a length of 6,219 yards and showcasing bent and poa annua grasses, the course at Palos Verdes Golf Club will be a treat for golfers of any skill level. Natural hazards are ubiquitous —barrancas, creeks, and hills. Several bunkers and narrow fairways will definitely pose a challenge. The front nine has no consecutive holes of the same par.

     George C. Thomas and William P. Bell designed the golf course in 1924. The pair were also behind the golf courses in the Riviera CC, Bel Air CC, and Los Angeles CC North.

   • Other facilities
     Enjoy exquisite food and social activities at the Mediterranean-style clubhouse. A renovation in 2007 restored the facility to its original 1924 design. From the clubhouse, you can take in the excellent views of the long coastline from Malibu to Redondo, the mountains to the east, and more.

The 6,617-yard course features changing elevations (with a slope rating of 121) that will offer an interesting challenge for golfers. Up for an even greater test? Try your hand at the 441-yard par 4.

     A renovated driving range and an upgraded grass landing area are just two of the many improvements that have raised an already exceptional golfing experience.

   • Other facilities
     As an award-winning championship course with stellar service and impressive club facilities, Los Verdes Golf Club is also a first option for tournament and outing organizers . Most notably, the Southbay Classic Golf Tournament is a staple event here.

     If you, your family, or friends are new to the sport, seasoned teachers, as well as on-staff PGA professionals, provide either individual or group instruction to people of all ages. The club also offers a custom curriculum based on your skill level.

     At just 1,239 yards, the golf course can go head-to-head with its bigger rivals when it comes to playing experience. A range of strategic options are at the player’s disposal. Elevation changes, green contours, bunkering, and great sightlines are prominent features of the course.

   • Other facilities
     After a day on the greens, why not stay for a night or two? It would be a shame not to bask in the luxury of this 102-acre coastal resort. Choose your preferred accommodations, from spacious guest rooms and suites, to bungalows, casitas, and villas.
