☆ What’s a Barranca? U.S. Open Golfers Hope They Don’t Find Out.
  + stars: | 2023-06-15 | by ( Bill Pennington | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The barranca on the L.A. Country Club’s North Course comes into play repeatedly during the 18 holes, especially as protection in and around the greens. Errant golf balls that land inside the barranca may be unplayable and result in a one-stroke penalty. In other instances, expect to see competitors descending into the barranca with hopes of rescuing their golf balls. The L.A. Country Club barranca, however, is far from a random curio of the course layout. It serves an important, effective drainage role during rainy seasons and adds a natural, craggy aesthetic to the course design, which originated in the 1920s.

☆ ‘Different Than What You Expect From a Los Angeles Golf Course’
  + stars: | 2023-06-14 | by ( Alan Blinder | Meg Oliphant | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
For much of Collin Morikawa’s life, the Los Angeles Country Club was a mystery. “It’s demanding — it’s very different than what you expect from a Los Angeles golf course,” Morikawa said in an interview. The West Coast is known for Kikuyu grass and very sticky poa annua greens, bumpy greens in the afternoon. That’s not what Los Angeles Country Club is.”Instead, players will confront a course of Bermuda grass, with bentgrass on greens that Morikawa sees as PGA Tour-like because of their slopes and designs. This year’s Open will include five par-3 holes for the first time since 1947, when Lew Worsham beat Sam Snead in an 18-hole playoff at St. Louis Country Club.

☆ Los Angeles Country Club to host 2039 U.S. Open

Oct 19 (Reuters) - The Los Angeles Country Club will host the 2039 U.S. Open and 2032 U.S. Women's Open, the United States Golf Association (USGA) said on Wednesday. The Los Angeles Country Club, located on the edge of Beverly Hills, will host next year's U.S. Open on the famed North Course which was returned to its original George C. Thomas Jr. layout by architect Gil Hanse during a 2010 restoration project. "We could not be more excited to bring our two biggest national championships to The Los Angeles Country Club and extend our relationship with the club that dates back more than 90 years," USGA chief championships officer John Bodenhamer said in a statement. The Los Angeles Country Club will become just the third U.S. Open venue in Southern California, joining The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades (1948) and Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego (2008, 2021).
