Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
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.
Aerial view of California Country Club, located at 1551 Workman Mill Road in the city of Whittier; view is looking north. Neatly manicured greens appear on most of the photograph, with the sprawling city along the top. It is possible that the thick, winding white "ribbon" visible at left is the San Gabriel River, which forks into the Walnut Creek Wash at upper left, then veering right; Valley Boulevard runs horizontally at upper middle; the San Bernardino (10) Freeway parallels Valley Blvd farther up. Photograph dated March 11, 1957.
