Fun at the Arcadia

Arcadia Foot Golf

Count on creative Los Angeles to transform a traditional golf course to accommodate one of the newest hybrid sports: foot golf! Arcadia Golf Course is the first to offer foot golf in Los Angeles. It’s also arguably the best for its gorgeous setting and scenery. The 18-hole, par-3 course includes technical, bunker-ridden par-4s and rare, foot-busting par-5s. Terrain is dotted with oaks, sycamores, and redbud trees.

It’s also flanked by Peck Road Conversation Park to the east, with views of its sprawling lake. To the north are the San Gabriel Mountains. Signage provides an easy path to your birdies and bogeys. Hole 18 is the perfect, epic finish: a natural “green carpet” pathway leading you under small white birches to the tee and the final flag beckoning 170 yards away.

NIGHT TIP: Take on the course at night. Lighting brightens the greens until 10:00 p.m., and you may even have the entire course to yourself!

To get to the Arcadia Golf Course clubhouse, take the I-10 or the I-210 to the 605 (N or S respectively) and exit Live Oak Ave. west. Take Live Oak Ave. for just under 3 miles, making a left at Arcadia Golf Course Rd., a narrow road marked by a big sign just after 8th Ave. $15 course fee, $5 to rent a soccer ball. No dogs.
