WESTCHESTER GOLF COURSE

The rolling hillsides of LA's Westside create natural elevation changes that most municipal tracks can only dream of, with several holes playing dramatically uphill or downhill through mature eucalyptus groves. The par-4 14th demands a precise approach shot to a severely sloped green that will reject anything but the most committed strike. This is public golf at its grittiest and most rewarding—where locals who've mastered the quirky lies and lightning-fast greens hold every advantage over visiting single-digit handicappers.
