Laguna Woods Golf Course

Friendly service from the pro shop to restaurant and bar. It’s not called Leisure World though. Laguna woods village is the correct name. Members only and their guests. 2 friendly, knowledgable golf pros for group or private lessons. Hilly course makes it interesting and beautiful saddleback views. Missing water features but I guess that all costs a lot for maintenance. Par 3 course also for relaxed practice. All at good pricing for residents

Granny got a kick azz golf course

I’ve golfed at this private course numerous times. It used to be part of Leisure World complex until they incorporated into a city and changed the name. Now it sounds much less retirement-​home-​y and much more bucolic.
Regardless, this 36-​hole course offers a variety of terrain, a decent number of challenges, a pretty fair non-​member price, ridiculously cheap cart-​rental fees and a whole lot of old people. Needless to say that the pace of play here is plenty slow, but golf wasn’t meant to be a speed sport, so that’s okay.
I normally golf the first and second nines, but I have an affinity toward the 2^nd and 3^rd nines as my 18. Neither course is particularly that much better, but hole 1 on the 2^nd starts with a nice, long, downhill drive, a great way to start a round of 19 — a confidence builder that eventually ends in a long death march.
For residents, the off peak fee is around $ 8, and I think the guest fee is around $ 27. The cart fee is something in the range of $ 10. Everything is dirt cheap, but they’re in the process of building a fancy new pro-​shop facility so I’m sure prices will go up to pay for it.
An open-​air driving range sits up across the street and sells similarly cheap buckets of balls… a great place to warm up before your round.
