Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe, the County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation and American Golf, Los Verdes Golf Course Operator, are pleased to announce the commencement of the driving range practice facility renovation project at Los Verdes Golf Course located in Rancho Palos Verdes.

American Landscape Construction, the project contractor, anticipates the project to begin on May 17, 2010 and to be completed within ninety working days. The renovation project which costs $432,000 is funded by the Los Verdes Golf Course Capital Improvement Fund.

We look forward to the course improvements, said Supervisor Knabe. We know golfers and the surrounding community eagerly await this exciting project funded by the capital improvement fund that’s generated from a portion of all green fees paid by golfers. This facility will continue to provide the community with an excellent recreational facility for many years to come.

In 1998 the County of Los Angeles renovated the Los Verdes Golf Course driving range. An artificial turf was installed on the approximately four acre facility. Because of the natural elements such as sun, wind and rain, that surface has outlived its useful life.
