Overview
Lakeside is a classic old-school layout across the Los Angeles River from Universal Studios Hollywood. The course was designed in the early 1920s by Max Behr, a Yale graduate and the first editor of Golf Illustrated magazine. Lakeside has long been a favorite among Hollywood elite—Bing Crosby notably was a five-time club champion. The relatively short course is well bunkered, features tiny greens and receives high marks in conditioning from our course-ranking panelists.

Review
“Challenging "old school" design at a club with so much history and ambiance. Course remodeled a few years back with many trees removed and a number of holes changed, all good changes. Course around 6,600 yards from the blue tees, but Par 70 with 2 really short (and tricky) par 4's and a really short par 3.......so it plays pretty long. Very small greens that are very well bunkered and arguably the best conditioned course in LA."
