Recent bunker and fairway renovations
restore the luster to La Mirada Golf Course
W
hen La Mirada Golf Course opened, John F.
Kennedy was president of the United States, the
Los Angeles Dodgers still played in the Los
Angeles Coliseum and, the year before, Arnold Palmer
broke the PGA Tour's money record by winning $75,000.
But though the course has been open since 1961, it has
never looked or played better, thanks to a course-wide
playability and beautification project overseen by golf
course architect Casey O'Callaghan. The project,
according to PGA General Manager John Kulow,
"has improved the course tremendously."
It includes 45 newly designed bunkers and
22 new tee boxes, 300 yards of cart path re-
location for fairway widening, tree removal,
installations for improved aesthetics and hole shaping,
and re-sodding of the fairway turf. The most dramatic
changes, Kulow said, involve the bunkers.
"The whitest sand was selected for the bunkers to give
them the newest and cleanest look possible," he said. "It's
a professional look, and we now have the finest bunkers
in the area."
