The California Country Club property (formerly the El Dorado Club) comprises 120 acres and an 18-hole golf course designed by William F. Bell, Jr., ASGCA, featuring 6,804 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. The project, which opened in 1956, represented an investment of more than $300,000; it is a private non-equity golf course. Presently (as of 2010) the address is listed as 1509 S. Workman Mill Road.
