MountainGate Country Club

MountainGate Country Club sits in the Brentwood hills of West Los Angeles, tucked at the base of the Santa Monica Mountains. Golf architect Ted Robinson, celebrated for his signature water features across Southern California and the Southwest, laid out the club as three distinct nine-hole courses, the North, South, and Lake, which opened in 1976 and can be combined into varied eighteen-hole rounds. Robinson routed the holes to follow the natural, rolling canyon terrain, framing undulating fairways and greens with mature trees, deep rough, and broad bunkering. The private club pairs its golf with an extensive tennis complex, a practice range, and a teaching academy. Its secluded canyon setting, minutes from the city yet screened from it, has long made MountainGate a quiet retreat for members seeking a serene, links-influenced layout close to home.
