Rancho Park Golf Course
publicRancho Park Golf Course is the most in-demand tee time in Los Angeles — a west-side institution that has hosted the LA Open 18 times and witnessed some of the most famous moments in professional golf. Designed in 1947 by William P. Bell and William H. Johnson on land once seized from a private country club for tax debt, this par-71 layout at 6,839 yards plays through small, deceptive bent grass greens surrounded by mature trees. The course is famously where Arnold Palmer — a three-time LA Open champion here — made a 12 on the 18th hole during the 1961 tournament after hitting four consecutive shots out of bounds from the fairway. A commemorative plaque marks the spot to this day. For west-side golfers in Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Century City, and Culver City, Rancho Park is the only 18-hole public option for miles, which is precisely why weekend tee times evaporate within minutes of opening.
Originally the private Rancho Country Club, the land was acquired by the City of Los Angeles in 1945 after the club defaulted on taxes. William P. Bell and William H. Johnson redesigned it as a public course opening in 1948. It went on to host the Los Angeles Open from 1956 to 1972 and again in 1983, cementing its place as the most storied public course in Southern California.
