Rancho Park
Rancho Park Golf Course: Located alongside the prestigious and private Hillcrest Country Club, the Ranch Park Golf Course, operated by the City of Los Angeles, is surely one of the busiest in LA. It's worth picking a quieter time to tee it up at this pleasantly undulating, tree-lined parkland course, unless you are happy to progress at an often slowish pace (rounds have been known to last five or even six hours here).
Water hazards are not something you'll have to contend with, but plenty of tree-lined fairways will have to be carefully navigated, or you might just be playing back over or through the trees from an adjoining fairway. Although not overly large, the subtly sloping greens will still thoroughly test your putting skills.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Walking permitted at all times. Golf carts available to rent.
Rancho Park has been host to numerous top level golf tournaments, including the Los Angeles Open (in 1970,'71,'72,'83) and as well as PGA Senior Tour (1990-94) and LPGA Tour events (see our Tournaments section >by Venue >Rancho Park).
Women’s (British) Open: the last women’s major championship of the season is hosted by Royal Porthcawl GC. It’s the first time this fabulous seaside links course has hosted the event (July 31-Aug 3).
Walker Cup: the 50th playing of this prestigious men’s amateur event sees the GB&I go head-to-head against the defending USA team at Cypress Point Club, California (Sept 6-7). After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
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.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
