Brentwood Country Club

“Through collaboration with the Club and its green committee we were able to develop a compelling yet sustainable design plan which included everything from converting green surfaces from Poa to Bentgrass to incorporating a well thought-out tree removal program,”

"To me, the most exciting part of our renovation at Brentwood CC was the restoration of the barranca through the middle of the course. The original architects brilliantly utilized this main feature of the land in different ways on seven different holes. Restoring its identity and impact on play was paramount to this successful project."

BRENTWOOD COUNTRY CLUB

Club History

Brentwood Country Club, originally named Santa Monica Country Club, opened in 1916 and was soon redesigned by William Watson. By 1925, the course had been completely redesigned again, this time by Max Behr, with the intention of hosting the inaugural Los Angeles Open. Unfortunately, the depression led to the club being sold, and the course became a public golf course. In 1947, a group bought the course back and Brentwood Country Club had returned and hosted the 1950 Western Open and nearly the 1962 PGA Championship until politics intervened.
