Lakewood Country Club

This William Bell design from 1962 delivers classic Southern California parkland golf with mature eucalyptus and pine corridors that frame every shot. The par-4 14th stands out as the course's signature, demanding a precise drive over water before an uphill approach to a well-protected green. Despite its public accessibility, the conditioning rivals many private clubs in the region, making it a genuine steal for golfers seeking championship-caliber golf without the pretense.
