Olivas Links is the course you were looking for I think, Bill, and after Rustic I would give it the thumbs up. Olivas is right on the ocean too, you can't see it, but you can see the tops of the boat masts in the harbor from the course and get a great seafood dinner on the Ventura Harbor afterwards. It also will be a little cooler than some inland courses that may get hot in July.
Don't miss Rustic, the best public course in LA area. I also like Angeles National that is within reach of LAX and Malibu CC is a public course that is in the area that is also fun and a good chance to see celebs if your into that kind of thing.
If you have private access then there are a bunch more good courses in that area.
