About this course

This modern design snakes through what was once industrial land, now sculpted into a forgiving, player-friendly layout. Fairways are generous, inviting golfers to swing freely, though strategically placed bunkers and water hazards lurk for the wayward shot, especially as the course matures. Originally designed by Matt Dye, the course prioritizes accessibility and enjoyment. While not a championship venue, its appeal lies in its relaxed atmosphere and focus on the everyday golfer. A haven for local businesspeople and weekend warriors, The Lakes offers a convenient escape within the bustling South Bay region. More than just a round, The Lakes at El Segundo has become a popular place for those looking to escape the board room and city streets. The course stands apart with its proximity to LAX. Enjoy a drink, and perhaps a little plane spotting.

Getting there
The Lakes at El Segundo sits mere minutes from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), making it one of the most accessible private clubs in Southern California for members arriving from across the globe. Those flying private often touch down at nearby Hawthorne Municipal or Van Nuys, though the proximity to LAX's commercial terminals means most journeys conclude within a quarter-hour of wheels-down. The final approach trades the hum of the 405 for the quiet, manicured streets of El Segundo's corporate corridor, where the club's emerald fairways rise unexpectedly from the urban fabric - a serene oasis tucked between the Pacific coastline and the sprawl of greater Los Angeles.
