Chevron World Challenge Golf Parking
The Chevron World Challenge is being held November 30 to December 5, 2010 in Thousand Oaks, California at the Sherman Oaks Country Club.
Parking for the Golf Tournament
As with every PGA event, large crowds overwhelm the small parking facilities at the course. Any spots near the course are reserved for players, officials volunteers and members.
Spectators are directed to park in outlying lots and shuttle buses take them directly to the front gate.
General admission parking is free in the lot located off of Potrero Road.
Plan to arrive 15 minutes earlier than you planned in order to allow for the bus ride. Buses are generally plentiful to the event. It will also take an extra 15 minutes or so at the end of the day to return to your car.
If you leave at the end of the day’s play, there may be a delay waiting for the bus, since many patrons will stay until the end. If you leave near rush hour, expect a long wait trying to reenter Southern California traffic.
