Wilshire Country Club is an 18-hole private golf club on the West Coast of the United States, located in Los Angeles, California.

The club in Hancock Park was founded 105 years ago in 1919 and its Norman Macbeth-designed course opened the following year. South of Hollywood and six miles (10 km) northwest of downtown, it is bisected by Beverly Boulevard, connected by a narrow tunnel: the outgoing nine is on the south side, with the incoming nine and clubhouse on the north side.

Tour events

Wilshire was the site of the Los Angeles Open on the PGA Tour four times (1928, 1931, 1933, 1944) and the SBC Senior Classic on the senior tour for six seasons (1995–2000). On the LPGA Tour, it hosted the Office Depot Championship in 2001 and currently is the home of the DIO Implant LA Open, which debuted in 2018. In 2023, the tournament moves to the Palos Verdes Golf Club.

Club professionals

Notables who have served as the club professional include Olin Dutra, Ellsworth Vines, and Jerry Barber; the latter two hold the course record of 61.
