Rancho Park Golf Course, Championship golf course in Los Angeles, California.

Rancho Park Golf Course is a par-71 municipal course in the Cheviot Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, designed by William P. Bell and William H. Johnson in 1947. Its fairways are Bermuda grass and its greens Bent grass. The 508-yard par-5 ninth hole, now played as the 18th, narrows near the green between the driving range and Patricia Avenue.

The site was first a private club, Rancho Country Club, which lost it to the federal government over tax debt before citizens pushed for a public park; Cheviot Hills Park opened in 1945 with the course, tennis courts and baseball fields. William P. Bell and William H. Johnson designed the par-71 layout, and the Los Angeles Open ran here from 1956 to 1967, 1969 to 1972 and once more in 1983.

The course is municipal, owned and run by the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks, so it is open to the public rather than a private club. Its name comes from the private Rancho Country Club that first occupied the site. A bronze plaque on the 508-yard par-5 ninth hole (now played as the 18th) marks Arnold Palmer's twelve in the 1961 L.A. Open.

Visitors can reserve tee times and rent equipment, with practice facilities like a driving range and putting area available. It is advisable to check for any dress code requirements before your visit.
