History
The Los Angeles Country Club's North Course, designed by George Thomas Jr. and William Bell and opened in 1921 amid Beverly Hills, is one of the most secretive and exclusive clubs in America. For decades it quietly refused to host professional events, preserving its members-only ethos. Thomas, a renowned rosarian and amateur golfer, created a course of dramatic elevation changes and strategic variety in an unlikely urban setting. The club finally hosted the 2023 U.S. Open, where Wyndham Clark's victory brought long-overdue recognition to a course that golf insiders already considered among America's finest.
