COURSE INFORMATION BOOK A TEE TIME JOIN PLAYERS CLUB PLAN A TOURNAMENT PLAN AN EVENT Historic Golfing in the Heart of Los Angeles County Situated as the first integrated golf course in Los Angeles County, Chester Washington Golf Course offers a welcoming environment steeped in history and tradition. Originally established in 1928 and redesigned by William F. Bell in 1970, this par-70, 6,286-yard course provides a challenging yet accessible round on gently rolling terrain featuring tight greens and two scenic tee-box lakes. A Well-Designed Course with Scenic and Natural Highlights With 18 holes playing to a course rating of 70.6 and slope rating of 124, the course balances playability with strategic interest. The layout includes level terrain, picturesque water features near select tee boxes, and a natural coyote habitat, offering both great golf and a connection to nature. Beyond golf, the clubhouse serves as a vibrant community hub with a café and bar open to the public. While the course encourages players of all skill levels, it’s especially noted for its tight greens that challenge precision and course management. Practice Facilities and Pro Shop Amenities Golfers can hone their skills with access to our comprehensive practice facilities. We feature a driving range for full-swing practice, alongside a dedicated putting green and chipping area to perfect your short game. Private lessons are also available to support improvement for players at every stage. The pro shop features top-tier brands including Nike, Titleist, Callaway, Srixon, and TaylorMade, providing quality gear and expert advice. After your round, enjoy refreshments at the café/bar or relax on the outdoor patio offering scenic views of the nearby skyline and course. Host Memorable Events at Chester Washington The clubhouse features private event spaces that accommodate celebrations and corporate gatherings. The facility’s versatile venues can welcome gatherings of various sizes, making it an excellent choice for weddings and special events with catering options available. This location also holds an important place in social history, with events in 1955 contributing to the desegregation of all county-owned golf facilities. Recognized as a historic landmark, this course continues to foster an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere across its Men’s, Women’s, and Seniors’ golf communities.   PRIVATE EVENTS & WEDDINGS A Legacy of Change and Honor In 1955, when Maggie Hathaway, an African-American social activist, applied for membership to the course’s Women’s Golf Club, the Caucasian-only group denied her application. Hathaway brought the matter to Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, arguing that the association was not allowed to discriminate based on race while practicing on County-owned land, which she and other minorities paid taxes to help maintain. Hahn agreed, and the group was expelled from the golf course, a ban he extended throughout the County. Sixty-five years later, Chester Washington became the only historical landmark in Los Angeles County’s golf portfolio. In addition, the course boasts as the home of Dr. Charlie Sifford, one of the first two African-American Golfers to play in a PGA tournament. The portion of 120th street that the property rests has been renamed Charlie Sifford Drive in his honor.
