Overview
The Wilshire location for the Los Angeles Country Club makes it possibly one of the most valuable pieces of real estate in the world. It’s fitting therefore
that North course does full justice to the land because it is a truly magnificent layout.
The North course at Los Angeles Country Club was originally fashioned by Herbert Fowler in 1921 but it was rerouted in 1927 by George C. Thomas
Jnr. with excellent effect. In the new millennium, Gil Hanse was entrusted to return this classic course to its former glory. The layout is at once thrilling
and often exciting with its hills, ridges, swales and valleys. There are two 18hole courses, the North and the South, if you can get a game, but only
have time for one round, try and persuade your friendly member to play the North course.
There are far too many great holes to mention them all, but the par threes are exceptionally strong, exactingly long and noteworthy. The 7th is perhaps
the toughest of them all, measuring almost 240 yards where only the perfect tee shot will find the sanctuary of the green. The 9th is perhaps the
signature hole, with the clubhouse as the backdrop, but many members consider the 11th to be the star of the show with downtown LA as the backdrop.
As far as park courses go, Los Angeles North is as good as it comes. The course holds your interest all the way round and it’s a challenging and tough
but fair layout. Roll this up with a beautiful setting (except perhaps for the odd imposing tower block) and you have a little piece of heaven.
