Palos Verdes Golf Club

Est. 1924

Palos Verdes Golf Club: This semi-private course on the exclusive Palos Verdes Peninsula, is predominantly a members course not generally on the visiting golfers' trail. Tee-times are only available to visitors in the afternoons, and the green fee is not cheap.

If you are inclined to play here, you'll find a pleasant, well-maintained parkland layout that roams its way across undulating terrain, with tall eucalyptus and pine trees giving a lightly wooded feel to many of the holes. The Pacific Ocean can occasionally be glimpsed in the distance through the trees, especially from the layout's higher elevations.

In this quiet, up-market neighbourhood the golf course maintains an agreeably natural feel, with decorative shrubs and bushes complementing the towering trees. The elevation changes play a key part in creating many good looking and challenging holes, the plunging par-3 2nd just one of many fine examples.

Although quite short at just over 6200 yards from the back-tees, Palos Verdes will probe and test your all round game. Stylish, raised-faced bunkers defend many of the greens, while a few blind drives and some tightish fairways require accuracy from the tee. Hitting the relatively small greens in regulation continually puts the accent on good course management and accurate shot-making.

Did you know?

Rancho Palos Verdes is an exclusive beachfront residential enclave in a hidden corner of greater Los Angeles. This secluded peninsula on the southern tip of Santa Monica Bay, comprises a mix of rolling hills and multi-million-dollar homes.

The peninsula was originally inhabited by Native Americans belonging to the Tongva (also called Gabrielino) tribe, and was first described in 1542 by Portuguese explorer Juan Cabrillo. In 1827, Don Jose Dolores Sepulveda procured a parcel of the original land grant, and named it Rancho de los Palos Verdes ("range of green trees"). Palos Verdes Estates was the first city incorporated on the Peninsula and was one of the first master planned communities in Los Angeles County.

Tournaments

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).

Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).

Who's Who

Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.

Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.

Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
