El Cariso Golf Course

About El Cariso Golf Course

This San Fernando Valley municipal track sits in the foothills of Sylmar, offering surprisingly decent golf at prices that won't break the bank. The layout takes advantage of the rolling terrain, with elevated tees providing glimpses of the surrounding mountains when the smog cooperates. What sets El Cariso apart from other budget-friendly options in the area is its walkable design – you can actually get around on foot without feeling like you need oxygen by the 18th hole. The course draws a loyal local following who appreciate that management keeps the greens in respectable condition despite the heavy play typical of affordable public golf in LA. While it's not going to wow anyone with pristine conditions or dramatic architecture, El Cariso delivers honest, straightforward golf where you can work on your game without the pretense or premium pricing of fancier tracks. The 4.1 Google rating from over 300 reviews tells the story – this is a solid neighborhood course that does exactly what it promises.
