Hillcrest Country Club Los Angeles
Groucho Marx famously said, “I would never be a member of a Club which would have me as one of its members…” just before he and the other Marx brothers joined Hillcrest Country Club. In 1920, a foursome at San Gabriel Country Club had this far-fetched notion of wanting to create their own private country club and spent several weeks quietly searching for a suitable site and finally came across a charming little parcel of rolling hills on Pico Boulevard, a half day’s drive from downtown on an old dusty road. During the first years of the Club’s existence, it quickly became recognized as one of the premier country clubs in the nation. Prominent members of the community flocked to join. One of the many ways the Club has distinguished itself from other premier Clubs has been by its unparalleled and unwavering commitment to a host of worthy charitable organizations. Members are required to donate time and money to philanthropic pursuits to continue membership in good standing. This is reflected in the benefits package provided for Team Members which includes which provides a Scholarship Fund for post-secondary education for all Team Members and their dependents. As a Team of professionals we are guided by our core values - Professionalism, Integrity, Teamwork, Gratitude and Kindness. These create our culture, inform our decisions and motivate our actions. Today, our Club consists of a newly remodeled 18-hole golf course, 9-hole short course and the best practice facilities in Los Angeles; 10 tennis courts plus a clay court; 6 dining venues; 3,500 square feet of banquet/event space; a state-of-the-art gym; world-class pool complex; brand new lounge sports-bar and renovated men's locker room. We are are recognized as a Platinum Club, making us one of the top 100 clubs in the land.
