Anyone who enjoys playing a round of golf -- especially on public courses -- knows that there are some excellent junior golfers hitting the links these days. Whether it's because of images of a 3-year-old Tiger Woods making a perfect swing or because of teenage phenoms such as Michelle Wie, it seems like more kids are taking up the sport in a serious way.
Luckily, there are also some amazing courses that are ideal for kids -- as well as any first-time golfer. On the top of that list is The Links at Terranea, at Terranea Resort in Palos Verdes, Calif. This 9-hole, par-3 course is not only loads of fun to play, but it's location -- on a beautiful stretch of pristine Southern California coastline -- makes it the Pebble Beach of par-3s. There is a definite Irish flavor to the links-style course as well, with plenty of grass for running the ball up to the green, yet enough diversity to present a real challenge for more experienced golfers.
In addition, Terranea Resort offers plenty of other amenities for families, including two oceanfront swimming pools (one with a waterslide), the Tide Pool Kids Club and Friday Family Nights featuring lawn games. and contests for kids.
