Designed by George Williams. Built on top of a canyon, this executive course has excellent views of the surrounding area. On a good day (especially if the Santa Ana winds have been through), you can see the ocean. While the less-skilled players can enjoy themselves, the course is made interesting for the better golfer with constant elevation changes. From downtown Los Angeles (about ten miles north to the course): Take the Glendale Freeway (Highway 2) north. Exit at Holly Drive and turn right down Mount Carmel Drive. Turn right on Glenoaks Boulevard, then travel three miles to the club entrance.
