CHEVY CHASE COUNTRY CLUB

This William Bell design threads through mature sycamores and eucalyptus trees in the foothills northeast of downtown LA, where elevation changes of 200 feet create dramatic uphill and downhill lies that test every club in the bag. The par-4 12th drops 80 feet from tee to green, offering sweeping views of the San Gabriel Mountains while demanding precise distance control on the approach. Bell's strategic bunkering and undulating greens reward thoughtful course management over raw power, making this a thinking player's layout that has quietly challenged members for nearly a century.
