LOS ANGELES — “The course is spectacular. I can’t think of a hole that I don’t like.”
“It makes you think.”
“It’s just a big-boy golf course.”
Like a summer blockbuster making its Hollywood premiere, Los Angeles Country Club is in the spotlight this week as the ultra-exclusive club – ranked No. 2 among private courses in California – makes its U.S. Open debut. Most players had little knowledge of the course before they arrived on property, but the reviews are rolling in: so far, so good.
A handful of competitors in this week’s championship have pointed out how the setup differs from that of a usual U.S. Open, and most players say they will enjoy the unique test to be handed out by LACC.
From past champions like Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka to local qualifiers like Olin Browne Jr. and Uber driver Berry Henson, here’s what players are saying about Los Angeles Country Club.
