The Los Angeles Country Club

The North Course delivers everything you'd expect from championship-caliber golf in Beverly Hills, with kikuyu fairways that reward precision over power and greens that demand respect on every approach. George Thomas's 1921 routing remains largely intact, weaving through mature oaks and sycamores that frame shots beautifully while punishing the wayward. What sets this layout apart is how it forces you to think your way around—the short par-4 11th being a perfect example of risk-reward architecture that separates pretenders from players.
