Santa Anita Golf Course
publicSanta Anita Golf Course carries one of the most unusual origin stories in LA County golf — the 185-acre site was part of the legendary Lucky Baldwin Ranch, transferred by the US Department of War to LA County in 1935 specifically for public recreation. The course was built as a Works Progress Administration project in 1938, designed not by a professional golf architect but by James Harrison Smith, an LA County civil engineer who spent a year studying great courses before creating the layout. At par 71 and 6,412 yards, the result is a pragmatic, player-friendly design that has endured nearly 90 years without major renovation — a testament to Smith's instincts. The WPA construction simultaneously delivered a swimming pool, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, and a children's playground on the same property, giving the site a complete civic recreation campus character it retains today.
The 185 acres were deeded by the US Department of War to LA County in 1935, carrying the condition that they be used for parks and recreation. The WPA project in 1938 — designed by LA County civil engineer James Harrison Smith after a year studying great golf courses — created the layout that still largely exists today. Nine holes opened in April 1938 and the full 18 followed in October of that year.
