Just a beginner, I am, yes, sir. I have spent all my 'golf time' this
summer on the range. Now that cooler weather is here (Southern
California) I want to expand my game to the course.
Any recommendations for courses that are geared for the advanced
beginner in the Long Beach CA. area? Short par 4s would be ideal.
Thank you.

My one recommendation is not to play Torrey Pines in La Jolla. I loved
the course but I hit fairly long (not straight but long) and some of
the par 4's are monsters. Beautiful course...hugely busy...pricy $38
for weekday and very addicting. Wait until you are 65 retire in San
Diego county become a resident and pay $38 a month for senior county
residents. Such a deal...
I think there are some courses towards the east a bit that are w/in
a half hour of the coast though that offer quite a bit. Mission Trails
Singing Hills, Rancho Santa Fe...probably quite a few more.
Hit em few and far between,

We had a few people out to Torey Pines not too long ago and thought it
was wonderful. I thought it was reasonably priced for the area.
Another one that I played a little farther north was Rancho San
Juaquin. I am not sure what town it was in but it too was nice.

Try Recreation Park in Long Beach (not the short course), it is
excellent, city run and crowded. Then there is Skylinks, just across
from the airport and just off the 405. I like to play Lakewood Country
Club which is also in Long Beach. If you want a shorter regulation
course with a very nice variety of shots, hazards, topography and view,
try Los Amigos in Downey - my wife likes it because it is shorter and
she hits the darn ball in the fairway all the time, so she scores well
there. Take the 710 north, exit at Artesia Blvd. east to Old River
School Road, turn left one block to entrance. There are lots more, go
to Roger Dunn's and get his directory for about a $1.00 and there is a
map and description. Questions, call me,.
