Thinking About Living in Palos Verdes Golf Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Palos Verdes Golf Club and the surrounding South Bay / Palos Verdes Peninsula golf market.
Palos Verdes Golf Club opened November 15, 1924, as part of the ambitious, Olmsted Brothers-planned Palos Verdes Project -- one of early-20th-century California's most architecturally significant master-planned residential developments. Unlike most of the private clubs researched in this state, PVGC has always been a public-facing amenity of the city itself rather than a membership-gated private club, but its historic purpose and current operating rules still tie it meaningfully to Palos Verdes Estates homeownership.
Golf & Course
Course design is credited to George C. Thomas and William P. Bell, with landscaping (tree plantings and grounds) by the Olmsted Brothers, the influential landscape architecture firm behind Central Park and much of the original Palos Verdes Project's overall plan. The course opened for play November 15, 1924, and was originally intended primarily for residents of the new Palos Verdes Project.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
The land is owned by the City of Palos Verdes Estates and operated under a concession agreement, not as a private club. Verified Palos Verdes Estates residents (California driver's license plus a current property tax bill or two utility statements) may play daily after 2:00pm, without guests. The club also maintains a membership program with first priority for Palos Verdes Estates property owners and a separate waitlist for non-resident applicants -- a real, documented residency-based privilege, though not automatic inclusion with a home purchase.
