The South Bay Golf Desert: Great Golfers, No Great Practice

For a region packed with passionate golfers, the South Bay is surprisingly light on convenient, high-quality golf practice facilities. Unless you’re willing to brave freeway traffic, fight for a spot at overcrowded ranges, or settle for poorly maintained mats and tired range balls, your options for purposeful practice are limited.

Let’s call it what it is: public golf facilities in the area are outdated, inconvenient, and overpriced. Want to squeeze in short game work or dial in your swing after work? Good luck. Between limited hours, inconsistent conditions, and long wait times, most golfers end up skipping practice altogether—or worse, practicing bad habits.

The Problem with Public Ranges

Here’s why public options fall short:

• Inconsistent conditions: Worn-out mats, limited targets, and range balls that belong in retirement homes.

• Limited access: Most ranges close early, are closed on certain days, or simply can’t accommodate peak-hour traffic.

• No feedback: No data, no TrackMan, no way to truly understand your numbers or fix your game.

  
  

Even some of the more reputable ranges in LA, like Westchester Golf Course or Alondra Park, struggle with demand and outdated infrastructure.
