Are you looking for an exceptional golf or fitness experience, a picturesque venue for social events or simply a relaxing place to spend your afternoons? Nestled in the stunning, rolling-oak covered foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, Woodland Hills Country Club (WHCC) offers it all. Established in 1925 at the height of the “Golden Age of Golf Course Architecture,” the club is richly historical, yet it’s fully equipped with modern conveniences. Best of all, WHCC has been member-owned from the beginning, which has contributed to the club’s close-knit community, exciting social calendar and exquisite golf course.
The History of WHCC: Membership, Golf, and Social Events
Since its 1925 opening, WHCC has been a private equity, member-owned club. Known as the “hidden jewel of the San Fernando Valley,” it’s the type of place that members never want to leave! This historical club even has memberships that go back two to three generations. With this uniquely tight community, WHCC is a one-of-a-kind environment that provides members with friends that feel like family. Not to mention, members have access to excellent amenities, an extensive social calendar, and of course, an incredible golf course—conveniences that aren’t always accessible at other clubs.
Let’s talk golf. For those who have strolled through the club’s classic course, designed by William “Belly” Bell Sr. in the 1920s, you know that the golfing experience is uniquely memorable. With stunning greenery, renovated bunkers and a challenging yet walkable layout, the course is a golfer’s paradise. In addition to its original design and playability, the course also operates on a tee-time-free system, meaning members can enjoy a round without making a reservation. This accessibility, as well as the club’s commitment to keeping the course in impeccable shape—without diminishing its character—are both benefits of WHCC being member-owned.
Not only does the club have a rich history when it comes to the physical property, its history of social events has also been particularly special. From Broderick Crawford’s Best Actor Oscar party in 1950, to professional athletes hitting the golf course in the 1960s, to Ronald Reagan announcing his candidacy at a United Chamber of Commerce dinner in 1966, the club has played a meaningful role in several historical moments. Fast forward to present day, the club still hosts a variety of special, modern events such as holiday parties, family-oriented Sunday barbeques and even concerts! Thanks to WHCC being member-owned, the club has the tools and resources to maintain this elaborate social calendar.
