Bel-Air CC
Bel-Air Country Club is located just off Sunset Boulevard, in the foothills of the Santa Monica mountains. This much lauded George C. Thomas design, excellently renovated by Tom Doak, winds through the mansion-dotted canyons of Bel-Air, Los Angeles.
Meandering its way through Stone Canyon on the front-nine loop, and Dry Canyon on the back-nine, the terrain is so steep at times that golfers are occasionally required to move from hole to hole via a tunnel and an elevator. The club's renowned suspension bridge, spans a gulch on the par-3 10th, while serving as a dramatic backdrop for the par-4 18th green.
Private club - guests may only play if hosted by a member.
Bel-Air CC is the home course for the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Bruins men's and women's golf teams. Former Bruins (with their number of PGA Tour wins) include Scott McCarron (3), John Merrick (1), Corey Pavin (15) and Duffy Waldorf (4).
Bel-Air CC is one of a trio of renowned courses in this area of Los Angeles designed by the great George C. Thomas in the 1920s ... the other two being Los Angeles CC (North course) and Riviera CC.
