I do find it interesting that schools like SC and UCLA (now officially the LA city champs two years running!) have such great programs despite having zero true facilities. I know UCLA has a pseudo practice facility on the intramural fields. What they do have is some of the greatest courses for practice. Both have Bel Air, Oakmont, LA, Palos Verdes, Lakeside, Wilshire, etc. But compare that to Stanford that has, aside from one of the greatest college courses, a ridiculous "performance area" for the team that has different grasses and bunkering based on the courses they will face in the Pac 12. Hell, when I played at Santa Barbara City College we had very generous access to Valley Club, Birnam Wood, La Cumbre, and Sandpiper. Not that it gave us an advantage, we just wanted to party and surf...go figure.
