Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. This course is vintage Robert Trent Jones style, with long tees, and bold fairway and green bunkering. This solid layout is situated in the trees and requires good play to achieve par, but is not too difficult for the bogey golfer. Valencia Country Club hosted the 1998 Nissan Open. It is the current host of the SBC Senior Classic on the Senior PGA Tour. From downtown Los Angeles (about 33 miles north to the course): Take I-5 north to the Valencia Boulevard exit. Turn right at the first light, North Tourney Road. Go left to the club. Excellent layout, tough, fair, and well-groomed.

Designed by Ted Robinson. Imagine a spectacular island green with a waterfall. Imagine stepping up to the tee box and having to tee off with your putter, because that is what you will have to do here. The Greens at Valencia is a 27-hole putting course, complete with water and sand. Only 18 holes are used at one time. From downtown Los Angeles (about 33 miles north to the course): Drive north on I-5. Take the Valencia Boulevard exit and turn right. Make a left on McBean Parkway. The course is right across from the Valencia Town Center. Do putting greens bore you? This is a great place to sharpen your putting skills while relieving the boredom of practicing on your local putting green. A must-play for the serious putter.
