Angeles National in my opinion has the best fairways and greens in Los Angeles County. I note in the "Surveyors Review" the comment that there is no chipping area or sand practice area yet. In fact there is a sand/fairway bunker area on the far left of the range (easy to miss- it took me several visits to notice it!), and the large practice green accomodates (and allows) chipping practice. I really like all the people there too. If only the greens fees weren't quite so high, but then again they are certainly reasonable given the product, especially since many less desireable courses charge as much or more!

One of the few courses in Los Angeles you need to play approach shots "on the ground" more than in the air- many of the greens are so firm that shots will bounce over if you don't take a little less club and land the shot in front and run it on. The fairways and greens are just perfect!
