Los Angeles is fortunate enough to be bathed in sunshine nearly 300 days a year, with cold fronts unimaginable – and this means the weather is ideal for golf, a sport that demands spending several hours in the great outdoors. Plenty of snowbirds flock to L.A. to play golf during the winter, and city denizens regularly invade the links…but what if we’re part of a group that can’t get into famed venues like Bel-Air Country Club, Los Angeles Country Club or Riviera because we don’t know a politician, actor or socialite?
Have no fear…Woodland Hills Magazine is here. In this article, we’re going to highlight the five best golf courses near Woodland Hills so that you can get your A-game on in peace and tranquility.
