Los Feliz 3-Par Golf Course

The Course

Los Feliz 3-Par runs just under 1,000 yards across 9 holes, all par 3s ranging from about 70 to 140 yards. Mature trees frame each hole, turning what could be simple pitch shots into strategic tests of accuracy. You hit from mats rather than grass tees, which keeps things simple and protects the fairways.

The greens vary in condition depending on recent maintenance. Some days they roll true, other days you’ll find divots and worn patches that add an element of unpredictability. But that’s part of the charm here—nobody’s taking themselves too seriously.

Walking is encouraged and the flat layout makes it easy. Most players finish in under 90 minutes, with faster golfers sometimes wrapping up in 45 to 60 minutes. Two putting greens near the clubhouse let you warm up before your round.

The Scene

The course attracts a mix of regulars who live nearby, beginners building confidence, and film buffs making the pilgrimage after watching “Swingers.” You’ll see parents teaching their kids to swing, couples on casual dates, and older players enjoying an evening round. The atmosphere stays friendly and low-key. Nobody’s rushing you or critiquing your form.

Staff at the starter booth keep things moving at a comfortable pace. On busy weekends, expect some wait times between holes, but the course rarely feels overcrowded given its compact size.

Los Feliz Cafe

The distinctive Quonset hut cafe sits near the first tee. Formerly known as Eatz Cafe, it serves straightforward food—burgers, sandwiches, breakfast items, coffee. The food works fine after a round, though most people come for the golf rather than the cuisine. Tables inside and on the small patio provide decent spots to relax before or after playing.

Special Events

The course hosts Glow Ball events during fall and winter months, where golfers play at night using LED balls and glow sticks. Summer brings outdoor movie screenings on the course. These seasonal activities add extra life to what’s already a neighborhood gathering spot.

Who It’s For

This course suits beginners who want to learn without feeling intimidated. It also appeals to experienced players looking to refine their wedge accuracy and short game. Families appreciate the manageable length and relaxed vibe. And yes, film fans stop by to see where Mike and Trent played their memorable round in “Swingers.”

The price stays reasonable—weekday rounds cost around $9, weekend rounds about $11-13. Club rentals are available if you don’t have your own. Plan to walk the course rather than ride, as the compact layout doesn’t really warrant a cart.
