About this course

Woodland Hills Country Club remains a Los Angeles mainstay, its verdant fairways a counterpoint to the surrounding urban sprawl. Carved into the rolling foothills of the San Fernando Valley, the parkland layout presents an engaging, if understated, challenge. Bunkering is strategic, and while the course isn't overly long, subtly contoured greens and tight doglegs reward thoughtful course management over brute power. Originally designed by William “Billy” Bell in 1925, the course reflects a classic Golden Age sensibility, emphasizing natural landforms and strategic shot values. While it hasn't hosted major championships, its consistent playability and welcoming atmosphere have fostered a devoted membership drawn from the entertainment industry and the surrounding community. The club, nestled in the heart of Woodland Hills, offers a respite from the bustling city. Its relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere is a stark contrast to some of its more high-profile counterparts in the region. And though it may not command national headlines, Woodland Hills Country Club provides a cherished golfing experience for its members and their guests and for it's dedicated family of staff and instructors.

Getting there

Most visitors arrive via Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), roughly 35 miles south, though Burbank's Bob Hope Airport offers a quieter alternative just 20 miles to the northeast for those seeking a swifter escape from the city's sprawl. The drive west from Burbank or north from LAX follows the Ventura Freeway as it climbs into the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, where the urban grid gradually yields to oak-studded canyons and residential enclaves. Woodland Hills Country Club sits tucked into this transitional landscape, a serene retreat perched above the San Fernando Valley where the hum of Los Angeles feels both proximate and pleasantly distant.
