Course
Wilshire Country Club
Famed Wilshire Country Club has a storied history in professional golf, being one of a select few venues to host events on the LPGA Tour, PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR Champions. Founded in 1919 by renowned architect Norman Macbeth, Wilshire Country Club has played host to a number of professionals and celebrities throughout its storied history. A defining feature of the course is a natural barranca, which runs through 13 holes of Wilshire's unique property. Macbeth created a links-style layout containing over 120 bunkers strategically located to challenge even the most accomplished of golfers. The property was recently renovated by architect Kyle Phillips, which allows views of the legendary Hollywood sign on several holes throughout the course.
