From San Diego (about 12 miles south to the course): Take I-5 south to the L Street exit. Go east just over a mile to the club. From I-805 heading south, take the Telegraph Canyon Road/L Street exit.

Designed by Jeff Brauer. Seventy-five-year-old men can shoot par here, while 25-year-old men struggle to break 100. Why? With narrow tree-lined fairways, rough that is constantly over two inches, and a hilly back nine that creates uneven lies, the emphasis is on accuracy. Also, those 75-year­old men probably won't tell you, but the greens tend to break away from the mountains and will punish the player who leaves the ball above the hole. . From downtown Los Angeles (about 33 miles east to the course): Take the Pasadena Freeway (I-110) north to the Foothill Freeway (I-210) east, almost to the end. Take the San Dimas Avenue exit and turn left. Turn right on Foothill Boulevard and left on San Dimas Canyon Road. Take a left on Terrebonne Avenue to the club.
