Golf CourseReaders' Pick: ANGEL PARK GOLF CLUBAlso another reader favorite, although one that was displaced last year by Badlands Golf Club. Angel Park offers three nice big golf courses, including a par-3 course. It's easy to get to and is situated in a house-free neighborhood -- laugh if you must, but that's important when we golf -- and check out the locals' specials if you go. And if you're new to the game, don't worry: Susie M. Berning, a three-time Women's U.S. Open champion, is head instructor. Desert Inn Golf Club was your second-favorite course. Our Pick: BADLANDS GOLF CLUBWe don't pretend that all of you will agree with this pick. Actually, some golfers find Badlands' unusual layout positively infuriating. So pack a few spare balls, expect the forces of physics to toy with you every so often, and just keep telling yourself that it's only a game. Former U.S. Open champion Johnny Miller designed the 27-hole course, and note that the newest nine holes are more player-friendly.
