Where Do the Stars Swing? A Guide to Celebrity Golf in LA
So, you wanna know where the rich and famous hit the links, huh? Well, grab a golf cart and let's tee off on this journey through the exclusive world of LA country clubs.
The Holy Grail: LA Country Club
Let's start with the big kahuna: the Los Angeles Country Club. This place is so exclusive, even the paparazzi can't get in. They say it's tougher to get a membership here than an Oscar nomination. Imagine trying to book a tee time and getting a message saying, "Sorry, Brad Pitt's got the course booked." That's the kind of exclusivity we're talking about. Don't even think about showing up without a collared shirt – jeans? Forget about it. This place is about as casual as a tux and tails.
Other Star-Studded Courses
But fear not, mere mortals! There are other options for those of us who haven't quite reached A-list status. Sherwood Country Club is another hot spot. It's like the less exclusive, but still really fancy cousin of LA Country Club. You might spot a few celebs there, but it's a bit more relaxed. And then there's Riviera Country Club, where the course is as challenging as the guest list.
What to Expect
Expect immaculate greens, bunkers that could swallow a small child, and a dress code stricter than a nunnery. Oh, and did I mention the price? Let's just say you could buy a small island with what it costs to join some of these clubs. But hey, if you're lucky enough to get an invite, it's definitely a bucket list experience.
Pro Tip: Don't even think about asking to play with a celebrity. They're there to relax, not be stalked. And if you do see one, keep your cool. Fanboying (or fangirling) might get you kicked out faster than a shanked drive.
