Municipal golf in California is a lifeline for city-dwelling walkers who can't afford the private clubs and don't want the resort pricing
Municipal golf in California is a lifeline for city-dwelling walkers who can't afford the private clubs and don't want the resort pricing. Van Buskirk serves the community. Eighteen holes open to anyone who shows up with a bag and a tee time. At 6,928 yards, the walk covers enough ground to feel complete without extending into a production. Slope of 118 puts this squarely in moderate territory. Enough movement to notice, not enough to dread. Pace can be an issue at California publics with high demand. Early tee time, ready golf, and patience are the operating framework. Walking policy is confirmed. Useful in a state where walking access varies widely even at nominally public courses.
