Scholl Canyon Golf & Tennis Club

I love this course and practice facility… especially with the Players Club membership. Grass driving range Monday to Wednesday. Twilight green fees with cart and beer = $ 7 for members.
The entire course is pretty easy. The par 4s are all on the shorter side so an accurate drive will get you very close to the green; however, many greens are also protected so there’s that risk.
Some of the shorter holes (i.e. — sub 100 yards from the tee) can really challenge your distance control ability. And some greens (hole 1) have so many slopes and undulations that 3+ putts won’t be uncommon in your group.
Drawbacks? Driving range– it’s really hard to get a good perspective as to how far your hitting the ball there. There are too many hills and the range down slopes. Also at night… the lighting is poor so you really can’t see what you hit. Grass days get packed really quickly after work hours.
Course — if you’re on any of the holes adjacent to the range… keep an eye out for errant balls. More than a few occasions I’ve had balls zip by my head (I’m also guilty of sometimes slicing one over as well). I believe it’s holes 6 – 9 you have to be on the lookout.

I should preface this by saying that I’m not a snooty, accomplished golfer. «Golfing» to me typically entails domestic beer and spraying balls all over a muni pitch n putt course.
The course is situated where you have *beautiful” views of Glendale and Downtown LA. The course is much more difficult than your PnP course of course, and to someone who’s only played muni PnP courses, the layout seems awesome.
Surprisingly enough, I think if you go during non-​busy hours, you can get on the course with a cart for somewhere around $ 25. That’s a pretty good deal, if you ask me. Lugging all that cheap beer by foot can get tiring, lol.

I’m a big fan of this course. Nestled up on a mountain in Glendale, offering MAJESTIC views of DTLA, and on a clear day, you can see clearly out into the pacific ocean…
As far as the course goes, it’s a bit on the shorter side, BUT, it’s no walk in the park. Plenty of elevation changes here. As well as a pretty tough island green.
There are a few drivable greens which will boost your confidence when you land it nearby…
Come for the golf, enjoy some views and go to in n out after your round :)

Took a few friends for a weekday round. The starter was friendly and efficient. The food /​beer guy was great. He made sure we know the beer specials and gave us plenty of ice for their cooler. The course has nice firm greens. Pace of play was great. The cart girl was not working that day. We did notice that the city started a garbage dump site on the other side of the hill but the noise and smell was not an issue at all. The place is clean and well maintained. We will be back.

Pleasant par 60 course. Used the driver/​hybrid on the par 4’s. Fun. All about the irons. Get them sharp and ensure your aim. Great course for practice. I enjoyed it much more than i anticipated. Only was $ 15.
The back 9 is much more challenging, fun & scenic than the front. Will definitely return after a rain. For the views.

Just finished playing a nice round after calling in morning the pro told me a tournament was going on and to come around 11:30. Showed up around 11 and pro said wouldn’t be able to play till around 1 o’clock. Was hitting a bucket of balls when the pro came down to me and said I could tee off. Appreciated that very much. I was the first one off and 40 minutes earlier than what he said. As far as the course, great practice for short game. Hit nothing over a 4 iron. Wish they had more golf courses that you could finish in a couple of hours. Great time. Highly recommend it.

Too much fun at the driving range. Cant wait to try the course!

This is my all-​time favorite course to play at. It’s mainly par threes but there are some Par 4s so it makes it interesting. This place is on the landfill but it doesn’t stink and the views are awesome. I recommend going on one of those golf websites and getting the specials.

This is a 4.5 star affair.
This is a fantastic course for those who don’t love «Big Dog» driver-​all-​day courses. If you’re a moderate driver, you still can utilize it on 6 holes possibly if you’re a «River Boat Gambler». Otherwise, you’ll likely opt for a 3-​iron or Hybrid which you know you can hit straighter more consistently.
The FRONT 9 is already pretty fun but the BACK 9 gets even better going further up the mountainside. The views of Downtown LA and Downtown Glendale are amazing from up here. Throughout the course you will get great views of these areas but the Back 9 is where it is «pure gold».
The CARTS are the same as found on more luxurious courses with a built-​in ball cleaner/​club cleaner. Also, they are newer and not beat-​up like some courses who never replace their carts until they die. The only con is their lack of a GPS system which keeps things «brain dead simple». My major was in the area of Humanities so I am not a huge fan of «doing the math» on the course. :)
Its late April and the course is somewhat burned out in spots already so there grounds keeping budget may not be the highest but there is still plenty of green and the course looks good visually overall.
The GREENS are very nice and most are TOUGH. There are some serious slopes and grades which prove challenging. The STAFF are very friendly and helpful. DAVID in the Pro Shop was especially good.
The CAFE has a nice bacon, egg and cheese burrito which isn’t a «gut bomb» portion or price which is very much appreciated.
The FLOW OF PLAY is about as good as can be expected. I guess if it were designed with staggered Par 3’s and Par 4’s it would be ideal but as it is, its fairly well blended.

Having played this course many times over the past 10 years, today was just a real disappointment. It amazes me how inconsiderate people are, every green was full of divots, watched the fivesome in front of us walk off every green not repairing any divots … They really need to have a marshal out there who does his job and not just drink coffee and bs with his buddies…

Scholl Canyon is a fun course! It’s like playing an extended game of mini golf. The course is short and sweet and great for beginners.

I play golf at least 5 days a week, all over the southwest and west coast, and I carry a + handicap, and in my opinion, for what it is, this course is great. First, it’s one of the only courses around the so cal area that actually has a grass range. Most people may not care, but this is a huge deal. Next, the range is built into the wind, and with an amazing view of DTLA, both of which are also huge deals! In addition, because it’s up in the hills, it is really quiet, which you just don’t get in metro golf. Sure, it’s not in perfect shape, but it’s more than playable. The layout is demanding and dynamic, especially with greens that allow for fair pin tucking. The views are amazing on most holes. And at 20.00÷18 riding, what a deal! Please, try to be fair. This is an public, executive course, with super low fees; review it as such. And as such, it’s the best I’ve ever played. Enjoy!

I like this course. Not too hard, not too easy — the front 9 warms you up, and the back 9 challenges you a bit. I’ve played here plenty of times, but my favorites are their glo-​ball tournaments. The hot dogs are good too, and prices are fair.

I love this place. Great course with great views over looking downtown LA as well as some parts of Glendale. The staff is very personable. They take good care of the course. The greens are very challenging with sloppy greens that make it really tough to putt. They have a full driving range with off the green range practice Monday through Wednesday. If have a problem with your short game this is a great course to practice those flaws. Longest hole is about 263 yards and the shortest would be about 83 yards. They do have tournaments time to time which are pretty fun to play. Check out this course if you’ve never played it. You would definitely like it. There is a pro shop with all kinds of goodies from shoes to jackets to polo shirts, pants, shorts and much much more. Try it out.

I am a fan of Scholl Canyon. This is an executive 18 hole course that has about 5 – 6 par 4 holes. I’ve played SC for may years now. They built this not too long ago over the landfills overlooking Glendale.
This is a nice 18 hole course for beginners to novices as the par 4s can be challenging yet the par 3s aren’t too hard. You get very nice views of LA, DTLA, Glendale and even Catalina Island on a smog-​less day. Worth the $ 20 you’ll spend up there for a quick 3 hour round get-​away from the office. For people who have played a bit, be patient here. There are nice par 3s to practice your short irons on.
I saw a guy hit a hole in one on the 12^th hole the last time I played! He didn’t even know he hit a hole in one since the green isway elevated up from the tee box. I was looking down from the 13^th tee box and started yelling at the guy (that he got a hole in one). He thought I was crazy!
Worth your $ 20 for a quick 3 hour around. Good for the short game but be patient for your pros out there. You’ll expect a lot of newbies up here and even the junior golfers. Greens are a bit beat up… as a beginner, you should remember to fix your ball mark and fix another one or two on the putting green. Thanks!

My outing at Scholl was nice. I had my g/​instructor with me playing a round sharpening up my iron game. Overall its an iron course for me, the views as stated are definitely on the back-​nine although its a cool course to get around on.
If you want a nice ‘iron’ course and sharpen the game up while having a nice brew this is the course.

Wow what a great short course. One of the best I have played in LA. Canyon course with lots of elevation changes. 18 holes, with 6 short par 4’s. Each of the par 4’s I could almost reach with 3 wood. No need for driver.
You pretty much have to use a cart here, because there are some climbs between the holes. Front 9 relatively flat, then you drive up a long steep path to hole 11 and the rest of the course is at a higher elevation.
Good prices can be found on

Full review with pics will be on my website as usual.

Perfect course for beginner golfers, and golfers who aren’t long hitters.
Princess had a great time, and this course was the perfect level of difficulty for her game. Her round started a bit rough, but her perseverance was rewarded with some beautiful shots into some of the more picturesque greens on the back 9.
Today was a hot day, but was playable with the breezes that filter through the hillsides here.
Greens here were punched and sanded. They were literally unplayable, but it was nice to practice our approach shots.
Play was reasonable fast at 3 hours for our round. Got startled by a snake on the 16^th hole.

This review is for the driving range and staff only.
I came here yesterday after finding out that the driving range is on grass Monday — Wedsnesday. It’s pretty rare to find a grass range in LA and I don’t like hitting off matts.
I didn’t realize how nice of a drive and view there was on the way up and it’s only about 10 – 15 minutes from all the car dealerships. 1 star for that.
When I got there around 5:30pm, the range was pretty empty. Maybe 4 – 5 other people. I was easily able to get a good spot in the middle of the range with a nice patch of grass to hit off of.
I walked into the pro shop and the guy was friendly and offered their 2 for $ 10 deal which seemed pretty good. You can get a small bucket (72 balls) and either a hotdog/​chips, 2 tall cans of beer, 3 bottles of water, or even a sleeve of golf balls.
I opted for the 3 waters.
Anyways, I like this place and although I probably won’t play a round of golf here due to it being a par 3 course, I will definitely be back on mon-​weds for the grass range practice.

Back in the day, I used to play golf a bit and practice at the range at Scholl Canyon. I didn’t care too much for the course since it’s a par 3 course though it’s a nice view of the city from uptop the Glendale hills. This course is built over a landfill. That’s the reason you’ll run into flys which is a bit annoying. The other side of the hill is the other half of the landfill that was capped off. I’m not sure if part of the landfill is still being used as a dump.
The range is awsome overlooking the view of downtown LA at night. It’s not overcrowded with the exception of summer and early spring time. The range closes late at night and sometimes find myself the last one there. Cell reception is horrible if your looking to make phone calls.
I do find people sneaking into the golf course at night. To make out or you know what. Just becareful of the coyotes cause they’re out there and they’ll bite ya!
