Overview

The Los Angeles Country Club In the fall of 1897, Southern California’s newest sport, golf, arrived in Los Angeles in what was destined to be an important and influential manner. A group of dedicated and enthusiastic residents of Los Angeles organized a voluntary association, which would lay the groundwork for The Los Angeles Country Club.

In fact, several golf courses were developed on different locations by the group before property was secured and building was started at the Club’s current location. After years of planning, the new Club located just outside of Beverly Hills, officially opened on May 30, 1911. Its stately Clubhouse, tennis courts and 36 holes of golf have served as the Club’s home ever since.

In 2010, a redesign of the iconic North Course was unveiled after the completion of a project to restore George Thomas’ great design. Gil Hanse was charged with balancing the unique architectural vision of the North Course with the functionality necessary to sustain its design details well into the future. The North Course now enjoys national recognition as one of the most beautiful and challenging courses in the country.

2015 saw the beginning of two additional renovation projects to prepare the Club for the upcoming years. In August of 2016, the 104 year old Clubhouse reopened its doors after a yearlong restoration project led by Johnson Fain Architectural Firm. The South Course also reopened for play after an extensive renovation and redesign once again led by Gil Hanse and his team. The climax of all the clubs hard work was showcased as The Los Angeles Country Club’s 36-hole golf course and Clubhouse played host to the 46th Walker Cup Matches in September of 2017. The tournament was a massive success for all involved. The club was also thrilled to host the United States Open in June of 2023, which was a huge success.
