THE LINKS

Swing Into Ocean Views

Designed by Todd Eckenrode of Origins Golf Design, The Links at Terranea features a unique 9-hole, par-3 oceanfront course set apart by lush natural terrain and dramatic vistas overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island.

With tee placements ranging from 104 to 173 yards, the course offers a short- and mid-range layout for beginner and experienced golfers. Fairways are masterfully routed through natural surroundings integrating elevation changes, artful bunkering, green contours, and unobstructed sightlines. Play this course in approximately two hours leaving plenty of time for other activities.

Course Note: The golf course, practice areas, lesson areas, and golf house will be closed from Monday, April 28 - Wednesday, April 30 for scheduled maintenance to the greens. The Links will re-open on Thursday, May 1 at 7:30am and will be playing under sandy conditions. Standard fees will be reduced by 15% through Monday, May 5.
