Penmar Golf Course is the westernmost golf course in the LA City system — just five blocks from the Venice Beach boardwalk. This flat 9-hole municipal layout has been a neighborhood fixture since 1962, offering a quick and relaxed round in one of LA's most eclectic communities. At 2,582 yards across six par-4s and three par-3s, Penmar is not meant to challenge scratch golfers — it is a people's course, well-loved by the local Venice and Santa Monica community for its casual atmosphere, flat walkability, and proximity to the beach. The regulars are a loyal, diverse group who treat the course as a neighborhood gathering spot as much as a golf destination. There is no driving range on site, which keeps the focus squarely on the 9-hole experience.
Penmar's construction contract was awarded in 1954, but city planning delays pushed the opening to March 27, 1962 — nearly 8 years later. Designed by David W. Kent, the course has remained largely unchanged in the six decades since, offering a genuine throwback muni experience in one of LA's most dynamic neighborhoods.
