About the course

Bel-Air Country Club is an exclusive private golf club, established in 1927 and masterfully designed by Golden Age architect George C. Thomas Jr., with assistance from William P. Bell. Nestled within the dramatic canyons of Bel Air, the course is celebrated for its inventive routing, featuring significant elevation changes, an iconic suspension bridge, and passages through tunnels. Though known for its privacy, the club has hosted significant national amateur competitions, including the U.S. Amateur and the Curtis Cup.
