LOS ANGELES COUNTRY CLUB, THE (1921)

 

LOS ANGELES REGION

Members only: 36 hole

10101 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90024

Tel: (310) 276-6104

 

Designed by George C. Thomas, Jr, Herbert Fowler. The North Course is one of the country's top three dozen courses and among the most publicity shy. Its strong rolling fairways are highlighted by superb bunkering, great flow, and balance of holes. The South Course is similar in style, but much less demanding and not as long. The yardage listed is for the North Course. Members and guests only. From west Los Angeles: Off the San Diego Freeway (I-405), exit Wilshire Boulevard and head east. The club is on Wilshire Boulevard, between Comstock and Whittier. This course is so publicity shy they would not even acknowledge we exist. In fact the general manager would not even acknowledge that he exists. For the sake of their privacy please do not look directly into this listing when reading this page.

LOS ANGELES REGION

Semi-Private: 27 hole - cost: $16 - $36

20055 East Colima Road, Walnut, CA 91789

Tel: (909) 595-7441

 

Designed by William F. Bell, Ted Robinson. This club has three nine-hole courses that make up three different 18-hole combinations. the East/North, North/South, and South/East. All the courses have moderate elevation changes, and plenty of mature trees line the fairways. Water comes into play on several holes, and many of the greens are elevated. There are quite a few doglegs, so tee­shot placement is key to scoring well. The yardage listed is for the East/North nines. From downtown Los Angeles (about 27 miles east to the course): Take Highway 60 east, exit onto Fairway Drive, and turn right. Drive one mile to Colima Drive and turn left. The entry is one-quarter mile on the left.
