Designed by William F. Bell. The advice from the pro shop is fairly straightforward: "Stay out of the trees if you want to make par." This is a level course with plenty of trees and some doglegs. The course was once part of the Norton Air Force Base. From downtown Los Angeles (about 60 miles east to the course): Take I-10 east, exit at Tippacanoe, and turn left. Go one and one-half miles and then turn right on Palm Meadows Drive.
