The Links at Victoria Overview: This municipal golf course has a horrible front nine, but offers some tough holes on the back nine when the wind is blowing. It
also offers some of the closest views ever available of the Goodyear blimp, as
its resting place is just off the 16th green. It is, unfortunately, also in a constant state of terrible disrepair anyplace between tee and green. However, the greens do roll well. The best holes are
described below:
The Links at Victoria Hole 3: The only memorable (for good reasons anyway) hole on the front is a driveable par four if the conditions are right/ This short hole requires the golfer to avoid bunkers left or right of the fairway. The green is small and undulates heavily, and the bunkers in front of it should be avoided as well.

The green is small and undulates heavily, and the bunkers in front of it should be avoided as well.
The Links at Victoria Hole 14: The best par 3 on the course must carry a dry creek-bed to hit the green between bunkers right and large trees left. Anything chunked or hit too far right will require the player to try again.
The Links at Victoria Hole 15: This short par five plays along the less than natural LA river and is reachable in two with two decent shots. The Goodyear blimp often will be in the backdrop for any approaches to the green.
The Links at Victoria Hole 17: This is a solid dogleg left par four with environmental hazard on both sides of the fairway and large trees that will block some approaches. The green is wide and features a couple of bunkers to the left and behind.
The Links at Victoria Hole 18: The brutal finishing golf hole is a dogleg right. Anything left leaves too much distance to get home in two (and could result in a penalty stroke due to the creek-bed lurking over there). The green is set between a bunker right and a hill left.
