Course Overview
Los Angeles Country Club North Course sits on one of the most valuable real estate plots in America — 300 acres in the heart of Los Angeles adjacent to Beverly Hills. George Thomas redesigned the course in 1921, creating a layout that has survived nearly intact despite surrounding urban development. The North Course hosted the 2023 U.S. Open and produced Wyndham Clark's dramatic victory over Rory McIlroy. The course's distinctive feature is its proximity to Los Angeles: helicopter traffic and jets approaching LAX contrast with the tranquil fairways within the club's walls. LACC North represents golf in an urban sanctuary.

LACC North's par-4 18th hole produced the 2023 U.S. Open's defining moment — Wyndham Clark's approach and subsequent putt that sealed his major championship victory. The hole is a demanding dogleg with approach shot angles that reward specific tee ball positions. The green slopes significantly, making distance control into the closing hole critical.
