Designed by Jack Daray. Seabee is a level, friendly course that will reward a good putter. Beware of the first hole. Many a golfer with the first-hole jitters, has busted one right into the driving range and started their round by re-teeing and adding two strokes. Of course you could always just take a mulligan. Public play is accepted, but civilians must secure a daily or annual pass. From downtown Los Angeles (about 66 miles northwest to the course): Take US 101 north, exit at Wagon WheelNentura Road and turn left. This leads to Ventura Road heading west. Take at right at the Sunkist Gate.
