Par 3 course that's fun to play

always wanted to play this

Par 3 coures. Got a great deal on GolfNow and couldn't pass up the opportunity. Me and a buddy tee'd off around 8:50AM and we felt like we had the whole course to our selves! One surprise was that every hole had its own range finder, nice! I have to mention the service, it was great. I will diffentitly be back when I want to play a nice 9 holes. Keep up the great service Terranea!

Gem of a Course

Great 9 hole just down the road from Trump National (for a lot less $). Staff was very nice. My son and I walked (no pushcarts). We were teamed up with another twosome - very nice people. The course looks much easier than it is - nice condition. The greens are very tricky but a lot of fun. Overall - a great little track and a lot of fun to play. The only nit was the parking - no dedicated parking for golf - you compete with the resort. We had to valet park (no charge if you pay gold and MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR RECEIPT AND HAVE IT VALIDATED IN THE PRO SHOP or you will pay $20 for parking). We had to wait almost 30 minutes for our car to get brought up due to how crowded the resort was - probably because it is summer but still annoying.

Great little course!

I got a deal on golf now so the price was not too bad. However when we got to the course we were charged more then the price stated on the golf now confirmation. So we lost the savings we had from golf now. This is the first time this happens. Every other course charges exactly what the confirmation amount is for "Due at course". I felt like We were over charged but we played and had a good time. Golf now needs to check this out. It's not right to expect to pay one amount and be charged more.

Everything was perfect!

My friend and her daughter visited me from Korea for sightseeing. And as a souvenir I decided to show them beautiful Long Beach view as well as getting together. It was a perfect satisfaction for us. I want to visit here whenever it will be possible. The staffs especially David were very friendly and kind, thanks to all ^^

Really nice walking only Par 3 Course

Beautiful ocean views at all times on this 2500 yard track. Holes are well framed and course is of decent design - varying lengths so you will use a few different irons. Was in nice shape - well maintained. An excellent way to get a short game warm up prior to full rounds in the LA area - about 1/2 hour south of LAX. Warm up nets. The rack rate of $56 is really steep but found a 4-some Groupon which brought the fees down to a more reasonable level. Nice pull carts available for rent $8.

I'd highly suggest a late afternoon round so you can quench your post round thirst with a cocktail at the resort bar - couches/fire pits/ocean sunset view. Reminded me of Spanish Bay except you are south of LA.

Trump National LA is just another 5 minutes south if you're up for 18 directly off the plane but skipped this time - originally named Ocean Trails prior to Trump purchase but for me it just isn't worth bothering to play for what they charge you now....it's very nice but has a lot of design flaws. Next visit to the South Bay I'll definitely start my trip with another tune up at Terranea.

Nice for a par 3

Good course for an executive course but super short. Although the views are wonderful it’s hard to justify $50+ For a glorified practice range.

Certainly One of the Best par 3 Courses Anywhere

Spectacular views, impeccable conditions, a fun variety of par 3 holes with some wild undulating greens that are in better shape than any of the famous seaside courses in all of California. This is a delightful way to spend an hour and a half when you don't have five hours to play Los Verdes nor $300 to play Trump National.

Beautiful short course

This course has a great location with beautiful views. Challenging, very hilly course but fun too. Has a range finder at every tee box. The fairways and greens are In excellent condition. And on top of that is that the staff are superb. They greet you by name and wish you a good day by name as you depart. They made us feel very welcome. You could tell that the starter loved his job. A hardy thanks to the staff.

One of the best par 3 courses in the country

The Links at Terranea is yet another example of how par 3 courses can be premium experiences. True, most people aren't going to be able hit drivers here, or maybe even fairway woods, but there's enough variety to make this more than worthwhile. Plus, it isn't easy with its extensive bunkering, elevation change and large undulating greens. Throw in ocean views and a good walk, and you've got a recipe for a great golf experience. By the way, replay rates are available if you want an 18-hole experience.
