Verdugo Hills Golf Course


I just got through a weekend of playing the Verdugo Hills Golf Course. I hit the driving range on Saturday and then played the course on Sunday. This is a course I play often. Its easy for me to get to, on my way home from work. Its a Par 3 course, but very technical. A lot of uphill and downhill holes, with some very narrow fairways. This is the course I have been learning at and is a great course for learning and using your irons. Most people play thinking if they drive hard then they will play well. This is not the case. If you think about it, driving is a small part of the game, you do it once per hole. However, your irons can be used multiple times per hole. Verdugo Hills Golf Course is a great place to get that iron practice in. Its cheap to play costing about $15 for 18 holes on the weekends. You can play at night, the course is lit, so perfect for getting in at least 9 holes after work. Keep in mind this is a Par 3 so a lot of people use this course to learn. This means that it can be slow going as far as wait time. You can not call ahead for tee time reservations, but this can also be a benefit for those like me who decide at the last minute to get a few holes in. The greens are average, they keep them up but they can be a bit choppy at times. What do you expect for $15? The great part is on a good day at Verdugo Hills Golf Course you can get through 18 holes within a couple of hours, or go for 9 and at worst you are there for an hour and half. Although for the most part I can get through 9 in about an hour. Verdugo Hills Golf Course has a club house with draft beer, did I say draft beer. That's about all that they offer, but who cares. A round a golf, a draft beer and home early enough to get what I need to done. This is an excellent mix. This is overall a great course to get some challenging golf in without the wait and planning needed for the "big boy" course.
