Excellent shorter course with greens that roll true

Very well kept greens that roll true and great shorter course that allows you to have relatively short second shots into the nice greens. Plays in about 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

Great bang for your buck

Very accessible and open course. The price is also not that bad. It’s only 9 which stinks but this place is really cool on the weekends as well.

Could use a nicer touch

I mean....i get its public and right in the middle of the city, but there are workers leaf blowing and weed whacking right on the tee as youre trying to hit. and there was a staff person watering the green as im putting...Marshal lady was very rude. i mean i guess its "cute" and funny and charming in some way but she came up to us during the game and was rude to a person in our party, then proceeded to drive the golf cart across the green....adding a little class would go a long way

Penmar Golf Course – 3 Stars

Penmar is a decent little 9-hole course tucked away in Venice, great for a casual round or to fine-tune your short game. That said, it plays very slow—be prepared for backups, especially on weekends. The greens could use some love; they’re often littered with tree debris and not consistently maintained, which can get frustrating. No golf carts available here, so bring your walking shoes and be ready for a light workout. Still, despite its flaws, there’s something charming about Penmar. It’s a relaxed, affordable spot to squeeze in a quick round or just work on your swing.

Fun Track in Good Shape

First time playing here. Simple easy layout. In good condition especially the greens that were rolling fast and true. Pace of play was a little long (2.5 hr for 9 holes) but had a fun time.

Good value, close to home

I enjoyed playing Penmar because of the ease to schedule tee times, overall design of the course, courteous staff and generally kind and easy going players in my experience. This course seems busy all the time however play moves well with minimal backups. My only con at this point is the greens as they have recently been aerated and still have a good amount of sand present that affects ball movement. Other than that it’s an ideal place to work on your shot game and still include drivers/woods.
