Topgolf is taking over a golf course in El Segundo, CA ...
« on: February 09, 2021, 10:25:12 AM »
As part of a deal with the city of El Segundo, Topgolf will assume operations of the 9-hole municipal course at The Lakes at El Segundo, which abuts the iconic Pacific Coast Highway. The footprint of the course itself will shrink slightly — the first and ninth holes will be shortened by a combined 100 yards — but it will undergo a renovation that includes lights for night golf and an enhanced pro shop and clubhouse. The facilities are scheduled to open in 2022.

I spent a lot of time at the Lakes at El Segundo which was run by Larry Griebenow a former UCLA volleyball player. Very good location and the range was usually very busy when I played there 20 years ago or so. Only course I ever had 3 birdies in a row, which was exactly once! ;D

Since we're telling personal triumph stories, I got paired with the Juggy Twins there once (you can google them if you weren't a fan of the Man Show). Former college basketball players, they could hit a golf ball a pretty long way considering they weren't really accomplished golfers.

Nice spin to say it abuts the iconic Hwy 1 ...


and leave out that on the other side of the highway is a gigantic oil refinery. And I believe a wastewater treatment facility is to the south.

But, yeah, man, the PCH.

If it wasn't for the refinery, it would be housing.


Inner city golf is rarely on good land, but it makes the local neighbourhood immeasurably better.
