This course is located is located in the Valley, about 2 miles west off the 5 freeway at the Van Nuys exit. The course is located in the VA hospital. It can be a little tricky to find. Basically drive into the VA Hospital and when the road splits, head right. Then from there you can see the golf course below. It is behind a giant piece of land with solar panels. The course made me feel nostalgic seeing all of the military style buildings around. It reminded me of the cookie-cutter buildings from my military past.

I read reviews about this place which were not great, so I did not expect much. I was however pleasantly surprised. The staff were very friendly and we started immediately without any wait. We played on a Saturday morning and it was relatively quiet. The round was smooth with not too much waiting. I have also played at 4pm on a weekday afternoon and we pretty much had the course to ourselves.

I did not anticipate such long holes and the biggest club I brought was a 7 iron. There were actually 3 long holes on the course (180 yards+). The course had a good design, with a mixture of long and short holes. All of the holes were relatively straight with no hazards. There were a few trees mixed throughout, but not many. With the longer holes (one par 4) this course is good to sure up your long game if making the conversion to a 72 par golf course.

The course was maintained well; above average for the area. The greens were a decent size and ran well. All in all we had a fun round and I will certainly be back to play this course again.

Richie says… “A nice find. I enjoyed the variation of holes and the challenges that the long holes brought. Next time I will know to bring some bigger clubs with me!”

Chris says… “Mission Hills is one of the best courses in LA. I love it. The staff are friendly, the course is nice. It is a bit of a drive for me, but I would definitely play Mission Hills again. Don’t be detracted by the negative reviews on Yelp. It is a great course.”
