You don't need a membership to play great golf in Los Angeles. The area's public options range from historic municipal courses that have hosted PGA Tour events to modern daily-fee designs from the game's best architects.
These are the public courses worth building a trip around — accessible, affordable and, in several cases, genuinely championship-caliber.
