Bring your credit card - or a stack of bills.  You'll need it.

I've played Malibu Golf Club which is a pretty fun/solid course.  It is North of Venice Beach.

reasonable till you realize your round will take 7 hours.

penmar is a 9 hole, executive course right in venice (mar vista actually).   westchester is an 18 hole par 62, which is just north of LAX.   malibu is a nice suggestion as well.   for the same drive, you can go south and play skylinks in long beach.

conditions can be random there, probably because weather in malibu is different than elsewhere in the bay (malibu course is inland a bit, within all sorts of mountains).   though when its in good shape, its a great course!  beautiful, challenging, etc.. the one odd thing though is they have no driving range.  they have a batting cage type setup so you can at least warm up your swing, though the balls they let you use there (they're free), are awful.

Pakoh is used to using that type of warmup routine. Dude plays Monarch regularly and hey have the same silly setup as Malibu.

A-hole played it twice today!  All the while texting us photos of the course while we were at work.  That's just plain mean.

As long as i can get some swings in to warm up I am good!
