This week’s course of the week is Trump National Golf Club, which is located at One Ocean Trails Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275. Trump National Golf Club has five sets of tee boxes ranging from 7,242 at the tips and 4,538 at the front. This course was built by Donald Trump, and like everything else that he does it is simply the best. The service is top notch, you can see the ocean from every hole, and the course is magnificently manicured. There were man made waterfalls that graced the course and these were absolutely stunning.

Having said all of that, there seemed to be something missing while playing at Trump National Golf Club. Don’t get me wrong, it is the best place to play in Los Angeles. However, I don’t think that this course can be put into the elite class of courses around the country. While playing Trump National all of the holes seemed to run together. There wasn’t that one signature hole that really ingrained itself into your memory.

located at 3301 Lost Canyons Drive, Simi Valley, CA 93063. Lost Canyons Golf Club is the only 36 hole public facility in Ventura County.

There are 2 courses at this spectacular facility, The Sky Course and The Shadow Course. The Sky Course is a par 72, plays 7,285 yards from the back tees and was recognized as a Top 10 New Course by Golf Magazine in 2001. The Shadow Course is also a par 72, plays 7,005 yards from the back tees, and was recognized as a Top 10 New Course by Golf Magazine in 2002.

Lost Canyons is truly a unique golf experience. The views while playing a round at this course are simply breathtaking. A month back I had the opportunity to play The Sky Course with a few friends of mine that work for Intel Corporation. It was a picture perfect day out, fresh cut grass, birds chirping but this course was extremely difficult from the back tees. Almost every hole seemed to play substantially up hill, or down hill. It was almost impossible to find a perfectly flat lie even in the center of the fairway, which I passed while driving the cart to my ball in the rough. The scores were high that day, but it was a great place to get out and spend part of a day with old friends.
