COURSE SPOTLIGHT SoCal GOLF INSIDER R ecognized as one of the most prolific golf course designers in Southern California, Ted Robinson Sr. is known mostly for his challenging-yet-player-friendly layouts. Mountain Meadows Golf Course in Pomona is no exception. Built in 1950, the 6,440-yard track lies in the hills of the San Gabriel Mountain basin and offers plenty of elevation changes, sidehill lies, and undulating greens that enhance its character and style. With a multitude of different shot values presented throughout the round, the layout allows golfers of all levels the opportunity to utilize every club in their bag. But that's not all it's known for. "Mountain Meadows has some of the best greens in Southern California. They are very true and fast," said American Golf Regional Director Brian Bode. "It's also a great course for tournaments, with a central location and easy freeway access." Additionally, American Golf and Los Angeles County have spent almost $2 million over the past year in renovations that include new bunkers, a new sports bar and upgraded banquet facility, a ceremony site, a new patio, refurbished restrooms, and an updated pro shop. "The newly refreshed banquet room can seat 350 people with an incredible new ceremony site and banquet patio," Bode said. "We've also added a state- of-the-art sports bar with 11 huge LED TVs and 12 beers on tap." But the No. 1 thing Bode wants golfers to know before teeing it up at Mountain Meadows for the first time? "Always remember, putts break away from the San Gabriel Mountains."
