I'm travelling to Long Beach the second week of November looking for some places to play. I'm considering Pelican Hill, but the north course is closed. Is the south course worth the $175 greens fee? I'm also considering Tustin Ranch, Coyote Hills and Oak Creek, but finding courses that are not being aerated around this time is getting tough. I'd love to play Palos Verdes, as I am a student of golf architecture, but the $205 visitors green fee is just too steep. I would appreciate any insight to courses in LA or Orange county. I considered Lost Canyon, but the trek through LA to get there is probably not worth it. I am also considering Torry Pines, but again, the hour and a half drive to get there is not appealing.
