Cerritos Ironwood at Iron - Wood Nine Golf Course

Iron-Wood Nine Golf Course in Cerritos, California, is a nine-hole municipal facility designed by Ted Robinson Sr., a prolific Southern California architect known for his work on public and resort courses throughout the region during the latter half of the twentieth century. Robinson's designs typically emphasize playability for a wide range of skill levels while incorporating water features and strategic bunkering, characteristics that appear in many of his accessible daily-fee layouts across the state.

The course serves the densely populated communities of southeastern Los Angeles County, providing a compact golf option in an area where land constraints have limited the development of full eighteen-hole facilities. As a nine-hole course, it offers a quick-play alternative for local golfers and serves as an entry point for beginners and juniors learning the game. The routing occupies a relatively flat parcel typical of the coastal plain geography of this part of Orange County's northern border region.

Iron-Wood Nine operates as part of the Cerritos municipal recreation system, reflecting the city's commitment to accessible public golf. The facility caters primarily to neighborhood players seeking convenient practice rounds and casual play rather than championship-length challenges. Like many Southern California municipal courses, it provides an affordable option in a high-cost golf market and maintains steady use from the surrounding residential areas.
