Brentwood Country Club


About this course
Brentwood Country Club exists as a verdant, exclusive enclave within the urban fabric of West Los Angeles, where Hollywood history meets a challenging, members-only golf experience. Originally designed in the 1940s, the parkland layout presents a deceptively gentle first impression that belies its strategic demands. Subtle elevation changes and mature trees dictate shot placement, rewarding clever approaches more than brute force; the course tends to favor the player who can work the ball, navigating the tree-lined fairways with precision. The well-guarded greens demand attention to detail, making the short game paramount. While not a frequent host to major championships, Brentwood Country Club's true character lies in its tight-knit membership and its role as a social hub for the surrounding community. The club's storied past is interwoven with the entertainment industry, and the fairways have likely seen their share of clandestine deals and celebratory rounds over the years. The halfway house is known amongst the membership for it's milkshakes, a Brentwood institution.

Getting there
Most visitors arrive through Los Angeles International Airport, a straightforward twenty-minute drive east along the I-10 and north into the refined residential enclave of Brentwood, tucked between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Westside's quieter boulevards. Private aviation guests often favor Santa Monica Airport, which sits just minutes south and offers a discreet gateway to one of Los Angeles' most storied clubs. The final approach trades the city's sprawl for tree-lined streets and the understated elegance of a neighborhood where old California money has long kept its counsel, with Brentwood Country Club waiting behind its gates like a well-kept secret in plain sight.
