WILSHIRE COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, CA, USA
Designed by Kyle Phillips, Norman Macbeth
Wilshire Country Club is a Golden Age jewel nestled in the heart of Hancock Park, a testament to classic course design amid the bustling city. The relatively flat, parkland layout, punctuated by mature trees and subtly undulating greens, favors strategic shot-making over sheer power, often rewarding a gentle fade from the tee.
Designed by Norman Macbeth in 1919, Wilshire has seen significant refinements over the years, most recently with a restoration guided by Kyle Phillips, ensuring the course retains its vintage charm while meeting the demands of the modern game. It's a timeless course, hosting the LPGA's JM Eagle LA Championship, a stop on the LPGA tour.
More than just a golf course, Wilshire has deep ties to the entertainment industry, with a membership historically populated by Hollywood luminaries. It's a place where deals were whispered about between tee times and where the echoes of old Hollywood still resonate within its clubhouse walls. The club's famed dining room is the regular haunt of producers and actors. While perhaps not internationally known, Wilshire holds a special place in the Los Angeles golf landscape.
