Overview
Hillcrest Country Club sits adjacent from Rancho Park Golf Course—one of L.A.’s better public options—and across West Pico Boulevard from the Fox Studio Lot. The private country club opened in 1920, and the course was designed by Willie Watson. In 2018, Kyle Phillips made extensive changes to the course, creating six new holes and making room for a new six-acre practice facility. The par 3s stand out at Hillcrest, including the 12th, which can tip out as far as 260 yards and plays to massive Biarritz green. Hillcrest hosted Final Qualifying for the U.S. Open ahead of the 2023 championship at Los Angeles Country Club, just a mile north.

Review
“One of the best remodels I have played. Very nice Private Club on the Westside of LA. The routing of the golf course is really well done with a nice variety of holes (up hill, down hill, doglegs in both directions, short and long holes, well bunkered, strategic, multiple teeing options, etc) and in great shape. The views of Los Angles are amazing. Track Man Driving Range, short game area and newly added short course make this one of the best golf experiences."
