The best golf courses in Downey, California

“The North at LACC made for a controversial US Open venue in 2023. I’m of the opinion that George Thomas’s 1927 design is one of the best in the West. The North’s front nine is undoubtedly one of my favorite nines I have played, with an equally as compelling back nine.”

“Shot values to the max. Recovery options available. #4 has to be on the list of hardest holes I've ever played. #8 has to be on the list of most fun. I'm actually down on #10 unless you can carry the ball 305. I think it's a layup hole if you can't.”

“I loved how you leave the clubhouse and disappear back into the neighborhood, almost feeling tucked away from everything. The iconic bridge is obviously a standout feature and makes the property so memorable, along with the incredible views. The course was in great condition…”

“There is nothing like this in Orange County, a modern Golden Age design that was executed very well. Green complexes and surrounds play firm and fast, wide fairways, small piece of property. Could play here everyday, lots of fun”

“Golden age classic, about to re-open as a fully restored course dating back to 1919 thanks to Kyle Phillips design who restored the greens to their full scale and more prominently featured the barranca throughout the course adding visual appeal and strategic shot values”

“True hidden gem in the LA County. Conditions are always awesome. Some really good golf holes. Almost an east coast feel. Lacks space in some areas. Bent greens. Bunkers are very well maintained.”

“Greens and wind are its only real defense, but definitely not “get-able” without a decent game. Fun walk and solid membership. Great caddy program.”

“Great course, amazing quality, but anything left or right of the fairway is typically OOB since you can’t navigate to the fairways over. Not rushing to come back here.”

“To me, this is the best of the Los Angeles city courses. There's not much George Thomas left, but you can still see some of it in a few of the greens.”

“Very over priced in my opinion. Greens were alright, but fairways were balding in a lot of areas, tee boxes were beat up, lots of holes were similar. Nice range, and good views, but better value courses are in the area.”
