Golfers traveling to Southern California will want to make a stop in the town where Tiger Woods got his start. Of course, any golfer worth his clubs knows that the sports icon learned the game on a Long Beach golf course. The city has half a dozen courses of various levels of play where amateurs, pros, and everyone in between can practice their swing like a champion.
Golfing is a popular past time around the world, but especially in the cities that line the sunny California coast. With less than a month s worth of rainy days each year, it doesn t matter whether the calendar says January or June, it s always the ideal weather for golfers to go play a round or hit a bucket of balls.
Long Beach, in particular, is filled with tourists and locals who take to the green to enjoy 18 holes at the golf courses at El Dorado Park, Skylinks, Recreation Park and Heartwell Park (where Tiger perfected his short game). Golfers looking for a short game can play the executive course at Bixby Village Golf Course or Recreation Park, which has both an 18 hold and 9 hole course.
While golf will always remain a sport of skill and ability, another reason that many folks take to the courses is to be part of the beauty and enjoy the scenery of being surrounded by the great outdoors. Golf courses are often built in areas of natural beauty, from an oasis in the desert to serene lakes and forests. Long Beach golf courses have many wonderful features that take advantage of the natural beauty of the Southern California landscape. Each of the city’s courses has its own unique attractions, but they all share one thing in common – gorgeous greens with lots of extras. In a city with more than half a dozen courses, you can only expect that they will all be competing to outdo each other.
Finding a golf course isn t difficult, with a little bit of time you can find a list of courses where you can also read reviews by local golfers. You re sure to find a course that suites your tastes and skills. With the exception of Bixby Village, all of the above golf courses are owned by the city. These municipal courses even allow online booking, so you can reserve a tee time at your leisure.
If you really want the golf experience of a lifetime, come to this coastal community to play during the summer months (May August) and get involved in the Long Beach Golf Festival. This event starts in the beginning of May and consists of at least nine different golf tournaments spaced out over the course of four months.
Golf holidays are becoming more and more popular and are an excellent holiday for groups of people – even if they have varying skill level. Whether you come for a festival, a tournament, a vacation or just for a day, you’ll find a Long Beach golf course that will provide new excitement and new challenges.
