Friendly Hills Country Club - Friendly Hills Whittier, California



Friendly Hills Country Club, with its spectacular 18 hole Championship Golf Course, was established in 1967.
Noted for its spectacular beauty, this James Wilfred Hines masterpiece is considered one of the finest and most challenging courses in the Los Angeles-Orange County area.
Friendly Hills Country Club has hosted many qualifying tournaments for the SCGA Amateur, Mid-Amateur, the US Amateur and the US Open.
Today's golfers play the same fairways that have challenged US Open Champions Scott Simpson, Jerry Pate, Lee Janzen, Curtis Strange and Tom Kite along with British Open Champion Bill Rogers and PGA Champion Bob Tway. 


Friendly Hills Country Club is the proud home course for Eric Meeks, the 1988 US Amateur Champion. USC star Jordon Nasser, who literally grew up playing on the course at Friendly Hills, claimed the 95th California Amateur Championship in 2006.

Course Overview

Designed by James Wilfred Hines, this club-style course is regarded as the finest and most challenging golf course in Los Angeles and Orange County. Golfers can conquer challenging par-three holes with rounded greens and swing with abandon from blind par-four tee boxes. The course kicks off with a massive 567-yard par-five hole flanked by bunkers and a scenic creek. At 173 yards, hole eight is a challenging par-three with an elevated tee box, constant winds and a well-bunkered green that make it as difficult as any championship-level hole.
