About this course

El Caballero Country Club, nestled in the heart of Tarzana, is a quintessential example of mid-century Californian golf course design, its rolling fairways a verdant oasis amidst the surrounding San Fernando Valley landscape. The course isn't especially known for demanding length, but rather rewards strategic shot-making and a deft touch around its subtly contoured greens, favoring players who can navigate its doglegs with precision. Originally crafted in the late 1950s, El Caballero has seen the influence of several architects over the years, subtly refining its strategic challenges. While not a stage for major professional championships, the club has played host to numerous regional and local tournaments, solidifying its place as a respected competitive venue within Southern California. Beyond the course, El Caballero boasts a vibrant membership, known for their love of the game and a relaxed, convivial atmosphere. The club remains a beloved fixture of the Tarzana community, a testament to its enduring appeal as both a challenging golfing experience and a welcoming social hub. Many credit the club's staying power to its casual but classic dining and the ever-popular El Cab Burger.

Getting there

El Caballero Country Club sits in the rolling hills of Tarzana, accessible via Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), approximately 45 minutes south, or the closer Burbank Airport (BUR), just 20 minutes to the north - both offering seamless entry into the San Fernando Valley. The drive winds through the suburban landscape of the Valley before ascending into the quieter, more secluded foothills where the club's manicured grounds emerge, set back from the main thoroughfares in a pocket of established California luxury. For those with access to private aviation, Van Nuys Airport (VNY), one of the nation's busiest general aviation hubs, lies just minutes away, providing the ultimate discretion for members arriving by jet. The final approach to El Caballero unfolds along tree-lined drives that feel worlds removed from the urban sprawl below, delivering you to a sanctuary of championship golf and understated elegance in the heart of Los Angeles's most coveted residential enclave.
