Catalina Island Golf Course
The Catalina Island Golf Course, built by the Banning Brothers in 1892, is the oldest operating golf course west of the Mississippi, reflecting the island's charm and history in its beautiful rolling greens. Originally designed as a three-hole course, it was expanded to nine holes in the early 1900s and later to 18 holes in 1929, but due to disrepair during World War II, it was redesigned to nine holes.
The scenic par 32, 2,100-yard course, which was once home to the Bobby Jones Invitational Tournament, has nine challenging holes with two sets of tees for 18-hole play and takes about an hour to complete. The club also has a fully stocked Pro Shop, electric and pull carts, rental clubs, and PGA-certified professional lessons. The club also has Miniature Golf Gardens, which are a great introduction to golf and a lot of fun for the kids.
