Rio Hondo Golf Club located in Downey, CA. This city owned golf course is one of the greatest values in the Los Angeles metro area. A number of water features help defend par. Holes 6, 7 and 8 surround a lake. Two other short par 4s, the 12th and 14th feature greens situated by a smaller lake in the northernmost corner of the site. The par-71 layout stretches from 5,103 yards to 6,370 yards. In addition to the four sets of tee markers, the scorecard lists two combo distance options, ensuring that everyone can play from an appropriate distance. While Rio Hondo Golf Club may seem somewhat short, most of the par 4s and three of the five par 3s are quite long. Many players deem the one-shot 14th hole, with its long carry over water, the toughest hole on the course.
