BIXBY VILLAGE GOLF COURSE

The municipal grind gets elevated treatment on this Chuck Corica design, where strategic bunkering and undulating greens demand precision over power across rolling terrain just inland from the Pacific. Par-4 seventh plays downhill through a gentle dogleg that rewards aggressive lines with wedge approaches, while the closing stretch tests every club in the bag with water hazards lurking on three of the final five holes. For serious stick work at muni rates in Long Beach, this layout delivers tournament conditions without the private club pretense.
