About this course

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.

Getting there

Wilshire Country Club sits in the heart of Los Angeles, accessible via Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) or the closer Burbank Airport (BUR), each roughly 20-30 minutes away depending on traffic patterns across the city's sprawling network. For those arriving by private aircraft, Santa Monica Airport (SMO) or Long Beach Airport (LGB) offer convenient alternatives just minutes from the club's Hancock Park location. The drive winds through the leafy, established neighborhoods of central Los Angeles, a transition from the urban grid into tree-lined streets and the quiet residential enclave where Wilshire Country Club has anchored Los Angeles society for over a century - a journey that moves swiftly from the bustle of the city into the serene, manicured grounds of one of California's most storied private clubs.
