Arroyo Seco Golf Course sits in a shaded arroyo below the 110 Freeway in South Pasadena, where it has been open to the public since October 1955. Long a fixture in the surrounding community, it serves both as a place to play and as a setting for golf instruction.
The layout runs 18 holes at par 54 over 1,953 yards, a short course suited to players of all ages. A mature line of trees screens the property from the adjacent neighborhood, and the fairways and greens are kept in playing condition.
Practice and additional facilities include a driving range with 33 stalls, with distances marked from 50 yards out to 250 yards at the back fence, along with a renovated nine-hole miniature golf course.
