I moved to North Park in San Diego, CA just so I can be closer to my home course, Morley Field. I'm 6/10 mile (3,100ft) from hole 8, it's 1.01miles to the pro shop on my bike. Not as close as others, but I also work 2 miles from my home, so I can play afterwork every day with only a short drive.
From what I hear, it's good to beat the crowds to Morley....the closer you are, the quicker you can get there.
