Open to everybody who loves golf, all ages
With close to 50 years at Penmar, we have "worked" to have fun and be a part of our Community. Our course is an affordable, accessible 9 hole track in 2011 selected "Best 9-hole Golf Course in LA" by LA Magazine. We play both home and away events!
During the week, we usually play tournaments on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month. The 3rd Thursday is played at Penmar usually starting at 9am. The 1st Thursday is an away tournament at an 18 hole Golf Course in the area. We try to play at lots of different courses! We also have special events during the year such as the Vance Schafer Junior Golf Fundraiser the first Saturday in April.

"The most casual and approachable golf club. Have only played golf for a year and has been a great club to meet people through and socialize during a weird year. Also a fantastic club to learn at because the more casual atmosphere means other players puts..."

"So much fun and so unpretentious. A great place to learn and enjoy without getting beat up. Plus a great place to meet afterwards for a quick bite and drink. All in the heart of West LA."

"The laid-back brilliance and tomfoolery at Penmar is second to none. Harrison Ford would have been chastised if he landed a plane at a Country Club, but is celebrated as a hero for doing so at Penmar. Raise one up and sink a putt for that legend."

"It's what most golfers would call a "hacker course" but it has unmistakable charm. The course is easy and laid back and the golfers are equally easy and laid back. It's where I taught my fiance to play and its where I'll teach my kids to play. There are ..."
