Sea Aire is the perfect answer to any impulsive golf tendencies. It can get crowded during the summer, but mid-week or fall and winter weekends are empty. Generally rounds last 45 minutes or less. All you need is a wedge and a putter, anything else is overkill. The no-beer rule is now being enforced, so watch it with that. I think smoking is also banned.
Unfortunately, they just bumped the price up from $7 to $10 for residents ($11 for non-residents). -

I learned how to golf here many moons ago. I like it because it is cheap. I did a few other courses including Marriot in Manhattan Beach, Alondra, and Mammoth's Snowcreek Inn.
I usually take a few clubs with me, a 7 iron, and either a 9 or a wedge and the "Charleen" (from the Simpsons) aka the putter. The 7 iron because of that one long hole which you have to hit up the hill. It is also pondless, even though I would like to see some water every now and then.
They do not serve food here only a coke machine and a water fountain. -

Excellent short 9-hole par 3 course hidden in the neighborhood. When i say "short" I do mean it...this course is SHORT!!! The longest hole is a mere 84 yards. Operated by the City of Torrance, this is an excellent place to take a junior player, beginning player, or simply practice a bit of the short game (50+ yard pitches and short shots.) The greens are nothing to brag about, they are very slow, but this isnt really the place to be practicing your putting...just flag hunting.
The grounds are very well kept considering, and it is nice for a quick outdoor stroll with golf involved. Green fees are very affordable ($7 adult residents, and $4 junior residents) -

As a golf course this place is way too short. All holes are sub-60 yards (or so I remember) so without a wait you can finish 9 holes in less than 45 minutes. Just hit, putt, and move on. I think it just barely satisfies the golf addiction. I think as a place to learn the fundamentals and as a practice round for kids this place is great. For adults, it's just a-ok.

Little Gem in the South Bay. The course is just average and not super well kept, but its location and history and general cool factor more than make up for those shortcomings.

I first heard about this place from my grandfather. He raved about it, so went and found it.
It is a "pitch and putt" but quite fun. Does not take very long to play, and challenging for the short game. -

This place is strangely cool. I went there during lunch and our four-some played it in under 45 minutes. It's a short pitch-n-putt 9-hole hidden amidst a field of houses.
My buddy paid for me, but I think it's like $10 or less. You hit off mats, and each hole is average 50 yards away. There's a long one, about 75 yards, and a few shorter ones - but the challenge is most of them are elevated. Not very well maintained, but what do you expect? It's like someone built a kindergarten and in the parking lot decided to build a mini-golf course. It's unique, to say the least. And to that end, it's got character.
I played awful. Just awful. I'm not very good, sure, but I played embarrassingly (sp?) - and in front of my boss' boss, no less. Ugh. How damaging is that. But I learned its a great place to go to expose your weaknesses and work on your short game. So I've made it a plan to go back and play at least once a week 'til I shoot par.
No problem.
Come on by. I'll be there for a while 'til I get there. -

A true mini course.
Great sea breezes.
Nothing beyond 70 yards.
Great short game practice.
Great place to bring the kids.
Great place to start learning the game.
Even better place for a first date.
Cheap.
And you can say that you shot a 27 for nine holes. -

I heard about this place from my dad. I've always been meaning to learn how to play golf. I could somewhat swing and putt. But the biggest hurdle was finding the time required plus I didn't own all those clubs yet.
This course was PERFECT for beginners like me. It's only 9 holes, 6+ acres, $4 per adult, requires 2 clubs (putter & wedge which I borrowed from dad), and can finish the whole course in an hour. Great for either just getting started or small practice.
I'm hooked and the man behind the counter is super friendly and supportive. I wish I knew about this place sooner - it's apparently been around since 1957. This place is a hidden gem!
