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.
