Wilshire Country Club, Private golf course in Los Angeles, US.
Wilshire Country Club is a private 18-hole golf course in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles, designed by Norman Macbeth and opened in 1920. Beverly Boulevard cuts across the course, and a narrow tunnel links the two halves: the outward nine lies south of the road, while the inward nine and the clubhouse stand on the north side.
Wilshire Country Club was founded in 1919 in Hancock Park, and its Norman Macbeth-designed 18-hole course opened the following year. The layout is split by Beverly Boulevard, which a narrow tunnel passes beneath: the outgoing nine holes lie south of the road, the incoming nine and the clubhouse north of it.
The club's name comes from its Hancock Park location on Wilshire-adjacent grounds south of Hollywood, and its sign at the entrance reads "Wilshire Country Club — Private Club, Members and Invited Guests Only." The course is split by Beverly Boulevard, with a narrow tunnel linking the outgoing nine on the south side to the incoming nine and clubhouse on the north. Jerry Barber and Ellsworth Vines share the course record of 61.
This is a private members-only facility, so visitors need to be invited by a member to access the course. Contacting a member directly is the best way to arrange a visit or learn about membership opportunities.
The aviator and businessman Howard Hughes joined the club in 1925 and lived in a house overlooking holes eight and nine on the course. His residence there became a notable part of the club's story during that era.
