Chester Washington Golf Course
publicChester Washington Golf Course carries a significance that extends far beyond golf. In 1955, civil rights activist Maggie Hathaway applied to join this course's all-white Women's Golf Club. LA County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn sided with her, expelled the discriminatory group, and extended a non-discrimination clause to all county-owned golf facilities — a watershed moment in Los Angeles civil rights history. The course was named for Chester L. Washington, publisher of the Los Angeles Sentinel, the city's largest Black-owned newspaper, and later its address was renamed Charlie Sifford Drive in honor of Dr. Charlie Sifford, the Jackie Robinson of professional golf who learned his game here. Today it is an LA County Historic Landmark. On the course itself, two lakes add strategic challenge to a par-70 layout at 6,286 yards that rewards thoughtful course management.
