Studio City Golf Course Inc

This place is more for schmoozing and faux golf than anything a real duffer would enjoy. A short par 3 course, it's cheap and... well, it's cheap! Tidy and well maintained, the course is perfect for people who can't get away to a more challenging course. Since it's located near Hollywood, B or C list celebrity sitings are de rigeur for this place, especially at the snack bar or on the driving range. This is a great starter course for the beginning golfer who might be nervous about trying 18 holes, and since you can usually walk on it's a good place to unwind with a lunch game if you've had a stressful morning. It's also a cute place to take kids to learn since the holes are not difficult and won't have them leaving in tears. The nutshell: Take the kids and the camera, leave your driver at home. more

Studio City Golf COurse has been a valley secret for years. Its not a full course -- just a 9 hole pitch & putt (or a whack and putt as I call it), it is very plesant and quite affordable (about $9!!). It is not crowded and where else can you play golf for under $10? I really hope that fans can keep it from being turned into condos as it is a very nice place. They also have tennis courts, clinics, a putting green, and a small diner (nothing fancy). more
